I leased a 2025 Ioniq 5 in mid August. Here are my 'likes'
1. 1 Pedal Driving. Hyundai calls it 'i-Pedal Max'. I really like it for surface roads. Level 3 for highway. My Wife likes level 2 for surface and level 1 for highway.
2. Roomy interior and light interior. I find it comfortable seating and like the buttons I have (heated seats, cooled seats, heated steering wheel, turn off the sonic sensors. Steering wheel buttons).
3. HUD and Nav in the HUD. Music content changes in the HUD. Phone of who is calling in the HUD.
4. Cargo room is OK to good. I actually bought a 'Modern Spare' tire kit and can put it behind the forward moved back seat on long trips.
5. NACS and the Tesla Network. Ionna. I drove to a wedding from Cleveland to Chicago and easily charged at Turnpike stops when making dinner and bathroom breaks. Network is great and reliable and not horribly expensive (not great though at .42-.50 per KWh). However, I only needed 2 charge stops and spent $15.50 and $18.50 to charge. I had 100% from Level 2 at home when I left and 100% from parking at the hotel in Chicago when starting the way back.
6. Automatic Shade for Pano roof. A Must.
7. Carplay - A must.
8. Mirror Tapped for Radar (not really native to the car, I realize).
9. Easy to install a Viofo 3 channel with Powercell 8 battery backup. Easy to route everything. i didn't hardwire it but 12V, which I use for nothing else. All really easy to do. I wish this was integrated.
10. Software and App is satisfactory. I wish there were cameras and more direct, immediate connectivity rather than 'requests' to change climate or start the charge or condition the battery. Perhaps they are 'requests' in a Telsa but the ones I've been exposed to seem more immedate and directly connected. Especially the Tesla Camera and Sentry system.
11. Mobile Center Console and features (even if the Qi charger heats more than charges).
12. Mechanical mirror adjustments and door opening handles.
13. Keyless iPhone and apple watch opening and vehicle start.
14. Profiles for myself and my wife.
15. True Valet mode to lockout our profiles and contacts and personal info.
16. Route planning with integrated charging stops in native NAV. I leased in Cinci and back home to Cleveland and then one trip to Chicago so experience is limited but it planned well and included charging.
17. Apple Carplay integration is good and immediate. Wish it was integrated into the HUD but native NAV is.
My list of dislikes is longer, probably.
Cheers
