Great car when the 12v works
This is a great all around car. I prefer smaller cars, usually hatchbacks, and while most cars are getting bigger these days, the 2025 Ioniq 5 is effectively a modern hatchback and around the same size as a compact SUV like the RAV4 or Tucson. Also one of the first EVs to adopt the NACS charging port (Tesla port). The biggest downside to this car is the 12v system. Frequently you will have 12v issues, which means you cannot start the car. You will learn to always carry a portable jumper pack with you (possibly two of them). It's not just ICCU problems, I've been through two 12v batteries already within 3 months of owning the car and neither issue was related to the ICCU. Many Hyundai cars, especially their EVs and to a lesser extent their Hybrids (Tucson HEV) have very unreliable 12v battery systems with constant drain issues. So if you're looking for reliability, you make want to look elsewhere. I also wish the electronic child lock was not a single button to control all 4 rear passenger locks. It should really be split into 2 buttons like Audi and Tesla do.
