Most Commonly Issues Reported By Owners

Owners of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD have reported several notable issues and complaints, many consistent with previous model years.

Most Commonly Reported Issues

  • 12V Battery Failure: Sudden failure of the 12V battery, sometimes without warning, is commonly mentioned. This can immobilize the car and require roadside assistance, with replacement sometimes denied or delayed at dealerships.

  • Infotainment Problems: Some owners experienced complete system failures—navigation maps not loading, inability to update or reset, or requiring dealer replacement of the infotainment unit.

  • Noise & Rattles: Persistent rattles and clunks from the rear cargo area or hatch, even after attempts at repair, are reported. Technical service bulletins and parts replacements have only partially resolved these for some users.

  • Steering Rack/Control Arm Issues: Changes in steering feel or stiffness, as well as premature wear in control arm bushings, are noted. These often required warranty repairs or further troubleshooting by dealers.

  • ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) Failures: Owners continue to report failures or glitches in the ICCU, causing charging and driveability concerns. This unit sometimes fails outright and may also trigger premature 12V battery failures.

  • Highway Vibration: Some users report strong vibrations in the 65-75 mph range on highways, which dealers have sometimes dismissed as “characteristic of the car” and not subject to repair. This complaint was seen on previous years as well.

  • Customer Service Frustrations: Delays in scheduling warranty repairs, charging for inspections even on new cars, and slow communication from both dealerships and Hyundai’s corporate support have caused owner frustration, especially with unresolved or safety-related issues.

Other Owner Complaints

  • Difficulties with charging speed and winter charging reliability.
  • Overly reliant and inconvenient climate and seat touch controls.
  • No rear window wiper in earlier models—impacting visibility, though fixes may exist for 2025.
  • Occasional electronic glitches and software-related recalls, sometimes requiring physical dealer visits rather than over-the-air updates.

Reliability Perspective

Hyundai Ioniq 5 owners generally praise the car’s driving comfort, styling, and everyday usability, but reliability ratings for the 2025 model fall below average compared to other new vehicles, primarily due to recurrent electronic, battery, and charging system issues.

1-Stop Range Definition 🔋

The 1-Stop Range is calculated using the standardized driving profile and assumptions outlined below.

It represents the total distance covered in two trip stops, separated by a single 15-minute fast-charging session.
For vehicles without fast-charging capability, only the distance of the first stop is considered.

🚗 Driving Profile

  • Begin with a fully charged battery
  • Stop 1: Drive until the battery reaches 10% state-of-charge (SoC)
  • Perform a 15-minute fast charge
  • Stop 2: Continue driving until the battery again reaches 10% SoC

📋 Assumptions

  • Driving speed, climate, and environmental conditions are based on Real Range Highway data
  • No additional time required to initiate or stop the charging session
  • The charging station always delivers the maximum power requested by the vehicle
  • The battery is assumed to be in optimal health and condition

⚠️ Important Note : In real-world driving, it is practically impossible to replicate these conditions exactly.
This benchmark should therefore be viewed as a comparative metric, designed to evaluate vehicles under standardized conditions rather than predict exact trip distances.

5-Star Rating Definition ★

The 1-Stop Range represents the distance a vehicle can travel after a single 15-minute charging stop. To highlight the influence of temperature, this range is calculated under three identical weather conditions used in the Real-World Range benchmark. The 1-Stop Range in combined conditions is the basis for the star rating, which offers a quick and comparable measure of long-distance suitability across different vehicles. This rating helps drivers immediately see whether a car is practical for extended trips relative to its peers.

Assignment of Stars in 2025

  •  0 less than 200 km
  •  from 200 km to 325 km
  • ★★ from 325 km to 450 km
  • ★★★ from 450 km to 575 km
  • ★★★★ from 575 km to 700 km
  • ★★★★★ more than 700 km

Based on 2025 thresholds: 3 stars awarded for 490 km average. Half-stars interpolated. Vehicles with a rating between these values receive a rating based on a linear scale.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%) ⚡

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle.

  • Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
  • Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
  • Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80% Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
