I really like the look of this sedan. When Hyundai made the Ioniq 5 I thought they needed to make more cars with this design style. The Ioniq 6 doesn't do it for me. The unreleased hydrogen sports car is sexy AF.

My wife is on her second Ioniq 5 (my son totaled the first one driving like an asshole, just glad nobody got hurt) and other than pilot issues they've both been bulletproof.

How do you like the Ioniq 5 overall? Its on my shortlist for my next car.

As road specific (vs off-road) SUVs go. Pretty sure it's almost perfect. Very comfortable, open on the inside almost like a minivan. The software is good. The driving assists are great in stop and go traffic. The wonky stuff has mostly been fixed.

We had a 2023 and now a 2024 and my wife is pissed every time she sees a 2026 because they have rear window wipers. The back glass gets pretty dirty and is lacking in earlier years.

It's also a bit of a wonky bitch in car washes. Even when I tell it to stay in neutral through a process that almost needs a flowchart to get that it's still dumb.

But she washes it not me for the most part so otherwise it's great. Gets milage over advertised and with winter tires on it handles snow and ice like a champ.
