Just drove my Ioniq 5 on 1000 mile trip from Southwest Florida to Virginia and wanted to post something’s I found with the car. If you’ve had similar findings feel free to reply. Some general things about the trip: Drove almost the whole way using the HDA2 assist on and cruise speed set to 72mph. The drive was done in ideal weather most of the way with very little wind and outside temps running mostly around 90 degrees. Climate control set the inside a/c to 74 degrees. Most of the trip was on I-75 and I-95.
1. I averaged 3.1 miles per kwh
2. Charged at Electrify America stations using 350kw connection except for one stop at an FPL location. The 20 to 80 percent charge in 18 minutes chain made by Hyundai was right on. I had to charge 8 times overall and never had a problem. All charge locations worked fine, though at 3EA locations I had to start the session from the app because the screen said the sensor on the charger to read the smart phone was not working.
3. Had about an hour of hard, misty rain that made visibility out the back window very difficult. The car really needs a rear wiper.
4. The overall ride comfort was great, seats were very comfortable and road noise minimal.
5. Only problem I had was with the lane changing assist. When moving to the right it worked perfectly every time but when moving to the left the car tended to overshoot the lane about 25% of the time making the lane keeping warning ding go off when it did. Similar problem occurred when driving in the left most lane on roads that curved. The car occasionally would run over the yellow line at the edge of the road, once again sounding ding. It never did this on the right side lane divider or whit line on the highway’s right edge.
6. Adaptive cruise control to slow the car and speed up again in traffic worked perfectly every time.
7. When using Android Auto it seems you cannot use the built radio, you have to get audio from the smartphone. If anyone knows a way to do that please let me know.
Bottomline: Great trip, great car. Certainly no regrets buying it.
