Great driving car, flawed controls
We love the EV experience of the Ioniq 5. The drive quality is great, and the car is fun to drive. The interior controls need to be improved as does their placement. The blue color for all the controls gets washed out in the sunlight and is hard to see. The placement of the controls is far too low and distracts from driving. The font size for the icons as well as the thickness of the print are far too small. One needs perfect vision to see anything if you do not use prescription eyeglasses for driving. The screen itself needs to be bigger. There is a whoosh whoosh sound when driving with the windows down. It would be nice if you could engineer this out. The rear wiper is too small and leaves too much of the rear windshield unwiped. And the whirr of the electric motor is loud inside the cabin at higher speed. It would be nice if you could dampen this noise. The placement of the steering wheel relative to the door is also off, and makes it difficult for your legs to clear the wheel when entering the car. I think the steering wheel is too far forward relative to the placement of the door. It would be nice if the key and the phone worked consistenly as proximity keys, and always unlocked when you are near the car, vs. some of the time. It is also very annoying that the user does not automatically change when the car is unlocked with the phone of user 1 or user 2. It is really annoying to have to do this manually every time. The software is really clunky for a car that is supposed to be high tech. The user experience, from entry to exit needs to be vastly improved. It should be seamless with a phone app and phone, but it's clunky. Lastly, it would be nice if you eventually made a longer version of the car (4") as there is minimal space in the rear, making this car a non-starter for a family trip, and even difficult for driving to sports events with lots of kids equipment.
