Hyundai Ioniq 5 Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very spacious and practical interior	Driving experience could be more polished
Packed with safety equipment and technology	Relatively cheap-looking inside
Ultra-rapid charging speeds	Not as reliable as the related Kia EV6

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an exceptional piece of design and one of the best family electric vehicles available. Despite its hatchback-like styling, it's actually the size of a family SUV, offering a remarkably spacious and airy cabin with a minimalist dashboard. The 520-litre boot expands to 1,580 litres with rear seats folded, whilst the flat floor and sliding rear seats provide genuine limo-like legroom. Standard equipment includes adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless phone charging across the range. The 2024 facelift introduced improved efficiency with 63kWh or 84kWh battery options, delivering up to 320 miles of WLTP-tested range.

The standard Ioniq 5 offers a serene, relaxed driving experience with light steering and settled ride comfort, making it ideal for families and long-distance travel. Performance is more than adequate, with 0-62mph times ranging from 7.5 to 8.5 seconds depending on battery size. For those seeking genuine thrills, the Ioniq 5 N is a game-changer—a 641bhp performance machine that rivals the BMW M3 and Mercedes-AMG C63, delivering one of the finest driving experiences in the electric car market. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol equivalents, with home charging costing around 3p per mile on off-peak electricity. The Ioniq 5 represents exceptional value as a family EV, combining practicality, technology, and performance in one brilliant package.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, practical electric vehicle with excellent technology and rapid charging; enthusiasts wanting a high-performance EV (Ioniq 5 N).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a premium interior feel or those seeking the most polished driving dynamics in the segment.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ioniq 5 if: You're seeking a spacious, practical family electric vehicle with excellent technology and rapid charging capabilities, or you want a high-performance EV (Ioniq 5 N).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a premium interior feel or demand the most polished driving dynamics in the segment.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a standout in the electric SUV market, offering exceptional value, practicality, and technology. Whilst the Skoda Enyaq and Kia EV6 are strong competitors, the Ioniq 5's superior user ratings, ultra-rapid charging, and exceptional performance variant (the Ioniq 5 N) give it a clear edge. The Ford Explorer, whilst offering better value deals, falls short on overall ratings. The Ioniq 5 represents the complete package for families and enthusiasts alike, combining space, efficiency, and driving enjoyment in one brilliant vehicle.
