Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very spacious and practical cabin	Driving experience could be more polished
Packed with safety kit, tech, and connectivity	Relatively cheap-looking cabin materials
Ultra-rapid charging speeds	Shorter range with the smaller battery

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 (2021-present) is a strikingly designed electric vehicle that, despite its hatchback-like appearance, rivals family SUVs in size and practicality. It boasts a remarkably spacious and airy cabin with a minimalist dashboard and twin 12.0-inch screens. There's limo-like legroom for passengers, as well as a generous 527-litre boot. The 2024 facelift brought improved efficiency with 63- or 84kWh batteries, providing WLTP ranges up to 320 miles, while the high-performance Ioniq 5 N variant delivers 641bhp and supercar-like acceleration, redefining performance EVs.

Packed with technology, even the entry-level model includes adaptive cruise control, semi-autonomous driving, autonomous emergency braking, and a comprehensive infotainment system. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel equivalents, with competitive pricing among electric rivals. While some interior materials feel less premium and the standard driving experience is more serene than engaging, its ultra-rapid charging capabilities, practicality, and advanced features make it an exceptional family EV, with the N version standing out as a top-tier enthusiast's electric car.

Best for: Families needing space and practicality, buyers seeking cutting-edge EV technology and ultra-rapid charging, those looking for low running costs, and performance enthusiasts (Ioniq 5 N).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior material quality, those who prefer a more engaging and dynamic standard driving experience over serenity, or those seeking the absolute lowest PCP monthly payments.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ioniq 5 if: You need a spacious and practical family EV, value cutting-edge technology and ultra-rapid charging, or are seeking a truly exceptional performance electric car (Ioniq 5 N).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a more engaging standard driving experience, desire higher-end interior material quality, or are strictly focused on the lowest possible PCP monthly costs.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 stands as a top-tier electric vehicle in the family SUV segment, offering a compelling blend of striking design, exceptional practicality, advanced technology, and competitive running costs. Its ultra-rapid charging capability and the groundbreaking performance of the N variant differentiate it from rivals.
