My 2023 Ioniq 5- Awesome and irritating.
The drivetrain is great. The range is good. Power is amazing. Handling is great. The software sucks. If you share this car with your spouse or another driver, the software is slow to ask / recognize a different driver. The seat often shoves me into the dashboard before my profile loads and the seat goes to a my driving position. The phone app is dodgy at best. The infamous "rear hatch rattle" is super real and seemingly unrepairable. The automatic wipers are spastic. Forget about snow driving. Between the lack of rear windshield wiper and the collision sensors getting covered in slush causing all the proximity alarms to go crazy, you are better off with an old Blazer or something. About one in five times I try to use my phone to pre-heat (pre-cool) or activate charging on the car, I find my self logged-out of the app and have to go through the entire two-factor authentication process. Super lame. I'm trying to save time. It's those "extra" nice things that seem to be super buggy. It would also have been nice if, at some point in the design process, some one would have sat in the seat and noticed that there is no way to read the screen with the steering wheel installed on the car. Thankfully I have a heads-up display. Again, the "car" part of it is awesome. Super comfortable, roomy, practical, passable (Bose) sound system. It is also awesome looking. The styling is retro-future cool. I really wanted this car to be as nice as it is competent. I'm not sure the upgrades from the base model are worth it. Which kind of makes the car not worth it. I want to feel good about how much it costs. Its inconsistencies kill the experience. P.S. 12V battery suddenly gives out and you 're bricked, even if you have 90% of your drivetrain battery remaining. Can't even unlock the car with the fob.
