US IONIQ 5 Trim Features

[Ride_Da_Lightning]

Be are when you want the AWD option, this car get as high as 15% off the real world range according to my research. You will understand what I am saying now after Tom did his 70mph range test in Feb of 2022. But don't get AWD unless you have no choice. I am looking for a rwd here in Northeast, there is less than 10% are rwd within dealer stock

I test drove the RWD and it was ok. Compared to my Niro EV, it doesn’t feel as quick or like it has as much torque. To me it feels similar to the RWD VW ID.4…ok but nothing exciting.

The Niro range is only rated at 239 but, for my driving conditions, combo local & highway roughly 40 miles a day, I have averaged 4.5 miles/KWh over 5k miles, so far, exceeding its rating.

The AWD will provide the extra power for when you want/need it. I think range is going to be wildly different for different people based upon driving style, conditions etc.

I thought the Niro would look much smaller next to it!

I did too based upon the reviews. In person, that is not the case & exactly why I took that picture. The Niro is underrated for what it is. The IONIQ 5 is a different animal, more refined etc. but, the Niro EV is a pretty decent starter EV.

The price was right…got $11,300 lease cash and it was a good way to convince me EV is the way to go.

Can someone who has looked at the trims confirm something for me? To get adaptive cruise, you need to step up to the SEL with Highway Driving Assist Lvl 2?

Or is there still adaptive cruise on the SE?

How are the rear air vents? I don't have them on my Leaf, it would be nice for longer drives, but with cloth seats I've found the car feels less hot to begin with.

The HDA comes on the SE and the HDA2 the SEL and Limited. The HDA2 assist with lane changes and safe lane positioning based on other vehicles lane position as the vehicle has side sensors. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyundai/comments/oxx0dy/highway_driving_assist_2_hda2_difference_from_hda/

So I ended up buying a AWD SE on December 29th. I really wanted a RWD Limited but as they are not available and I needed the 7500 tax credit for my 21 taxes I took it. Awesome car and great road tripper! Charging at 233kw it rips. 15 minutes from 22% to 80%

I keep checking the online Federal tax credit list but still don't see the Ioniq 5 (though EV6 is there). Anyone know more about how this works?

thanks! So if I just want Adaptive Cruise, a SE would be fine. I'll miss the heated steering wheel on my Leaf but that's about it.

Has anyone compared the LED reflector headlights in the SE to the projectors in the SEL?
IIHS rates headlights but the I5 isn't rated yet.

You're welcome. I've pulled no punches with Hyundai's reversing themselves and removing GA and NC from the initial distribution states. I doubt it was me but yes there are now GA and NC sites carrying and soon to carry the IONIQ 5 just one month in. I heard it first on the Out of Spec Pod cast as they mentioned it as one lamented the same issue. I looked around in GA to find any in stock to look at the paint jobs. Got a call from another NC dealer today letting me know they will be arriving soon. Unfortunately the closest of the two NC dealers have Dealer Adjustments and the closest MSRP isn't carrying them just yet. Hopefully my trip to VA on Wednesday will include a dealer that will have a few in stock so I can see for myself which colors I prefer my Limited in. It's shaping up to be a 2023 model year with dreams of a matching power passenger seat and a BMS that can stand the cold and heat better. I think I my be describing the Taycan GTS.

So the VA dealer had four separate colored IONIQ 5’s under lot lighting during my evening drop in. All with the ever so widely seen black trim. The Digital Teal is way better in person than photos or videos can show with the most prominent metal flake. I don't think it's a flip flop flake but with less light coming back the further the car is away at an angle the more dark with a teal/blue favor it is. The Phantom Black had as much metal flake but under 6K light reflected back a wide gamma of colors. The Cyber Gray has the least flake besides the Arctic White which had ZERO. All this metal flake is in the size of the most fine glitter you’ve seen shed from those Christmas Cards. If I were getting the black trimmed IONIQ 5 so far it would be in order of preference: Digital Teal, Cyber Gray then the Phantom Black and the Appliance Arctic White last. Yup, it that kind of white!! Hopefully the other VA dealer or my local NC 3K over MSRP dealer will have the Lucid Blue and Shooting Star Gray (Matte). These are screen shots of video I shot that may help despite the water spots and lighting. I attached a clip at the bottom that you can see a high gloss strip on the side lower rocker panel I hadn’t heard mention or noticed. The black plastic oddly is soft to the touch in texture but obviously a hard surface. Not a bad material choice and rather acceptable frankly. You'll just have to be persistent and keeping it clean and wax off it.

I have used this unpainted moldings restorer for years now for all the exterior plastic trims.

The stuff is fantastic, and lasts a long time. Try to put it on when vehicle is new... and no more UV affect
See @1:20 of this video:

Silverwax Unpainted Mouldings Restorer sounds like a fine Canadian product, but it doesn't appear to be available in the US so I'll give this product (made in China) a try: Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer.

To me, the white looks best... so I guess I like the appliance look! LOL! Not a fan of the weird new age colours trying to make it look so different than everything else. It screams look at me!

Imagine a Phantom Black Limited wrapped in this color Red to contrast the satin trim bits. Now that; that is screaming look at me. [emoji817]

Kind of how the EV6 looks in Runway Red…

Here’s a recent pic of a Lucid Blue.

Highway sighting of a dealership lot and after work stop to get my first look at a Shooting Star IONIQ 5. I have to say I’m not in love with the price or future care anymore than that “Dealers Adjustment” but it is my favorite. Looking back at the dethroned favorite Digital Teal photo has me wondering if that charge cover paint will look that off in sunlight. Painted plastics seldom work and makes me wish they gave the door an aluminum skin. Now how about that two tone interior.

It’s definitely a striking presentation, different & quite sharp looking. My brother-in-law owns a Hyundai Kona Ironman (special/ltd. edition)

and it is nothing but a P.I.T.A to take care of and costly to protect it properly. No such thing as just a simple wash. He ended up doing a ceramic coating & clear bra wrap (entire front & mirrors) and boy was it costly, I believe somewhere in the area close to $3k. If you are truly considering the Shooting Star Matte Gray on the IONIQ 5 or the Steel Matte Gray on the EV6, do your research & get some quotes first as it will add significant costs. It’s very easy to mess that paint up and repairs are extra costly.

I keep going back & forth between the Lucid Blue & Cyber Gray and am currently leaning towards the Cyber Gray as my first choice.

Regarding the adapter to power AC items, does the Ioniq 5 come with any extras at all? Did you even get a Level 1 charging cord like the least expensive EVs usually include?

I poked my head in a SEL sub trunk and as I, you should find a blue colored cable apperatus that is your (emergency) provided charge cable. (Pull up on the truck floor cover by the loop by the hasp just inside the opening.) That will get you going.



Tom Mahogany's YouTube channel will fill in the blanks as to a fast at home unit. Follow his advice as he has tested more of these systems than we all have combined used. He reviews these regularly so dig in to his channel until he gets his web site going. Here is the feature list again to confirm what came on the SE. If you see any errors please let me know. I will note the SEL passenger seat was all manual (slide, tilt and lift) Could you return the favor? When you plug in and are charging take a photo of the front dead center of the car at low position and let us know if the SE comes with the charge status LED's in between those two satin garnishes. Also let us know if those two front bumper garnish light up with the lights or parking lights on. The charge status can be seen at the rear charge door as well as the dash. I'm interested in the color of your interior and how comfortable the rear head rests are in cloth.

Hope this helps and enjoy this warm front we have at the moment to take a spin just because. Get your Electrify America account set up and carry that sneaking little hidden power cable with you for the trip. You can store it in the front truck for ease of access.
