It is a nice vehicle. One thing noticed is quite a few saying Like Kia over Hyundai and vice versa. Which is great. Considering Hyundai owns Kia or at least owns a fair percentage of it. It is good that both are different yet subtly have similarities. One thing which i think does need mentioned and especially in todays environment. For those that do not realise and this does not apply to all EV's but I know it does to Hyundai. And, that is that the batteries are fully recyclable. It is good that Hyundai and I would imagine Kia as well have thought about what to do when those batteries fail and if memory serves already has in place where the batteries can be taken too to be recycled. Although would i want to pay for replacement batteries. I do not think so.

My daughter who is a frontline NHS worker is currently leasing an Ioniq through NHS leasing and twice in the last month the 12v battery has failed. The last first time the RAC guy identified the problem immediately as a failing battery, but said he can do nothing more than slave the battery to put some charge in it, the car operated ok for a week or so then the same problem occurred, she rang the help number and was told by the leasing company to contact the local dealership who said they had no vacant service slots for about ten days! I think the service is appalling and it-s fortunate that I am able to lend her my car for her 30 minutes commute to work. I wonder how many other users have experienced similar problems?

Great looking car, wrong technology. Battery tech still is suffering from the old chemical memory problem from old. Just nine fast charges start to deteriorate the battery, just look all this up on the net don-t take my post as being true until you carry out your own research. Why are EV cars so expensive? Well it-s down to the cost of rapid development costs being passed onto the customer and the fact that low volume EV sales. Again look on the net and carry out your own research. I would love to drive a zero emotion car but I just couldn-t convince myself that the manufacturing and disposal of battery tech has also zero emotion because it hasn-t, again look on the net for your info on this.

Considered but ultimately could not justify spending over 45K on a Hyundai. ( maybe snobby no doubt ) Think the looks on the Hyundai are cool but for me they didn-t ride as well as my Q4 etron, plus infotainment nowhere near as good on the Hyundai. Considering that although both are well equipped, the price difference is not significant over a Q4 / Eqa. Plus range on the 40 is decent enough!

Don't believe ANY of the EV manufacturer's claim ranges: Tesla, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and the rest. I'd have bought the Ioniq 5 except for the boot(trunk) length, knowing their other claims were unrealistic. Switching EVERYTHING off in my Taycan 4S and going ECO gives me a theoretical 240 mile range, but that is realistically 200 miles in cold & adverse weather conditions

On the 12v bit, some car insurers, if you're signing up with them for the first time, sometimes require you to fit a black box into your car so they can monitor your driving for a period of time (mine was 6 months) so when you next get a renewal, in theory it should go either up or down depending on your driving history. And this box requires the 12v port -

Hyundai really know what they are doing when it comes to the new generation cars like this.
However, like Mat was saying in more recent times the price of cars are starting to really get way more expensive than the average person can really afford.
Good news for the public transport industry.

I tested the Ionic5 on Saturday.
I was utterly underwhelmed. The exterior looks fantastic however thats where it stopped. The inside looks like it has been designed for another car and to put it bluntly, its boring. The materials aren't the best either.
The ride is also very firm.

A lot of reports on battery over heating. And recalls.
I had my hopes on one but. I want believe but.
Any deals I have seen was less than 10, 000 miles, so how do replace my diesel Audi now> when commute 15, 000 yearly.
Electric car? May be the next generation ehh.
