About Hyundai IONIQ 5 RWD
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD remains one of the most compelling electric SUVs, blending retro-inspired styling with the latest EV tech and excellent practicality. This refresh introduces a larger battery, improved interior tech, and subtle design tweaks that further elevate its appeal for families and enthusiasts in Europe.
What’s New for 2025
- Hyundai has bumped up the usable battery size to 80 kWh, which extends usable range and supports even quicker charging.
- The refreshed interior sports a redesigned steering wheel with interactive pixel lights and Hyundai’s upgraded ccNC infotainment system now offering over-the-air software updates.
- Key controls for climate and seat heating/cooling have been repositioned for better usability.
- Exterior changes include sleeker bumpers and a slightly longer rear spoiler for enhanced aerodynamics, while revised shock absorbers improve ride comfort.
Design & Exterior
- Distinctive pixel LED headlamps and origami-inspired body lines remain hallmarks of the Ioniq 5’s design.
- The 2025 model measures 4655 mm (length), 1890 mm (width, excl. mirrors), and 1605 mm (height), giving it substantial road presence.
- A new set of aerodynamic wheels and subtle tweaks keep the look futuristic but not flashy.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
- Spacious lounge-like cabin benefits from its long 3000 mm wheelbase and flat floor, with seating for five and sustainable materials throughout.
- Cargo: 520 litres in the rear (boot), 1580 litres with rear seats down, and a practical 57-litre front trunk (frunk).
- Central to the dash are two 12.3-inch screens powered by the latest infotainment, plus thoughtfully minimized physical buttons.
Performance & Driving Experience
- Powered by a single rear PMSM motor delivering 168 kW (229 hp) and 350 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, with a top speed of 185 km/h.
- Ride comfort is improved thanks to fine-tuned shock absorbers; regenerative braking options include the efficient i-Pedal mode for one-pedal driving.
- While not the fastest, it feels smooth and responsive, ideal for daily driving and long-distance cruising.
Range, Battery & Charging
- Real-world range (as calculated by Green Cars Compare) is 478 km, with an efficiency of 5.98 km/kWh.
- 800V battery system allows rapid DC charging up to 263 kW (10-80% in 18 minutes), plus standard 11 kW AC charging.
- Features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) for powering devices and appliances inside/outside the car.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
- Five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, with enhanced body structure for 2025.
- The SmartSense suite includes vital ADAS features: Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance, and Highway Driving Assist 2 for semi-autonomous comfort.
- These systems help provide stress-free driving, especially on longer motorway journeys.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
- Standard Hyundai warranty in Europe is 5 years with unlimited mileage, while the high-voltage battery enjoys 8 years or up to 160,000 km coverage (with gradual capacity guarantees).
- Complimentary maintenance offers may vary by country, but reliability and low running costs are typical strengths for Hyundai EVs.
Summary Bullet Points
- 80 kWh battery, 478 km real-world range.
- Rapid charging: 263 kW DC; 10-80% in 18 minutes.
- Distinctive, spacious design and ultra-modern lounge interior.
- 5-star Euro NCAP, full ADAS suite for safety.
- 5-year unlimited car warranty, 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty.
Overall, the Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD delivers a strong blend of style, substance, and technology but does have a few practical compromises, especially regarding weather performance and user experience for those seeking AWD or the fastest acceleration.
Why You'll Love It 😘
- Unique, stylish exterior design stands out from rivals with its retro-futuristic look.
- Ultra-fast 800V charging enables some of the industry’s quickest recharge times, offering a 10-80% top-up in about 18 minutes.
- Spacious, practical interior features a flat floor and generous cargo space for families or road trips.
- Impressive real-world range, with up to 478 km achievable on a single charge in the Long Range RWD trim.
- Refined and comfortable ride due to suspension upgrades and attentive engineering.
Why You Might Think Twice 🤔
- Lacks a rear window wiper, which can hinder visibility in wet or snowy weather.
- Rear-wheel drive is less ideal for traction in snow or icy conditions compared to AWD competitors.
- Acceleration with RWD is adequate but not as fast as some dual-motor rivals, especially in this price bracket.
- Infotainment system, although advanced, can require extra time to get used to because of its updated features and layout.
- Premium price point may make the Ioniq 5 less accessible than some mainstream competitors.
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 🔋
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.
