3 YEARS OF IONIQ 5 OWNERSHIP | OWNER EXPERIENCE

EV Channels Review

After three years of ownership, the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE All-Wheel Drive proves to be a largely positive experience, though not without its quirks. The reviewer highlights the car's excellent exterior and interior durability, with minimal wear and tear despite daily use and occasional owner-induced damage. Key positives include the original windshield and tires (at 37,000 miles), reliable pop-out door handles, and auto-folding mirrors. The spacious interior, particularly the rear legroom, remains a standout feature. Charging speed is also praised, with the 2022 model outperforming the newer 2025 version in tests. However, the owner did encounter a few issues: a failed front radar sensor (covered under warranty), a flat tire requiring replacement, and a persistent rattle from a door panel. The charging port required a fix for 11-amp charging issues, and the 12V battery needed replacement with an AGM unit. The reviewer also notes the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and the ongoing debate around the rear motor whine, which is reportedly absent in the 2025 model. The battery conditioning feature's availability on used 2022 AWD models is a critical point for potential buyers. Overall, the Ioniq 5 is deemed a reliable and enjoyable EV, with the reviewer recommending it despite minor drawbacks.
