Hyundai Ioniq 5

If you are using the live navigation system, it will pick up all the speed limits from that, but I also found that it spots temporary speed signs and reacts to them. Driving on a UK motorway a few weeks ago I was surprised that the car slowed from 70mph to 50mph as I passed a temporary speed limit sign. A few miles further on there was a temporary derestriction sign and the car resumed 70mph. Clever stuff.

Having about 6 weeks now how are people finding it? Were very happy with it bar a few things :

Lack of a rear wiper is annoying, especially in heavy rain like the past week

The manual door handles are overly complicated and starting to annoy us. It's quite awkward trying to open one handed while carrying a young child/shopping etc.

With auto lights on, it doesn't activate the rear lights when the auto wipers start in heavy rain (my last 2 cars have done this automatically- passed another ioniq today in heavy rain with no rear lights on)

Interior seems to mark quite easily. We have the executive and the drivers door arm rest (where window buttons are) has several scrapes and marks that won't come off with cleaning). We've been very careful with it so it's not carelessness. Never had this issue in any other car. Also the plasticy material on the door cards marks easily with raindrops and leaves a visible stain when dry, quite hard to clean off).

After leaving Pyeongtaek (with Kia's) first port of call would seem to be Ulsan! departing on the 28th Feb.

Good question. A good number of speed limits in North Kerry and West Limerick changed over last summer and autumn and the indicated speed limit still shows the old limits for up to a few hundred metres, then changes to the new limit. Almost as if the on board camera is correcting the system. On my trips last week some very short term temporary road works limits were picked up, contradicting the nav map.

Yeah I see on the heads up some times a speed limit visual with what appears to be another one behind, wonder is that what causes it thought it was a glitch.

oops - ignore

Agree with all the points, except no interior scratches yet..lucky...bumped the front passenger part trying to use public charging, fortunate no exterior marks yet

1) Registered for Tolltag+ - saves lot of hassle

2) Cancelled my existing AA Platinum roadside membership to leverage Hyundai offer

3) Trying to be regular on iPedal mode - Mrs likes the Auto hold, but no need when using iPedal - wonder if back red lights turn on when releasing accelerator using iPedal?

4) Bluelink app still acting on me....especially during morning - when charging is needed greater than 5 mins, sometimes it works, sometimes doesn't

5) Applied for SEAI home charger grant - awaiting response - will post pics once charging pedestal installed (ours is non std installation)

Rest all in all - so far so good !

That's terrible. Have you spoken to Hyundai?

Not sure how much rain we've been caught in but no mines not the same. A few greasy paw prints is the height of it for ours.

Yeah had this the other day. Window/glass spray and a microfibre cloth

Haven't driven my kuga phev since last Thursday,got this message this morning.It must an anti battery drain mechanism(ala ioniq5 battery drain issue).don't know whether to be reassured or worried?-the former i think🤔?.

Regarding the rear wiper, best solution is to get something like Rain X or even just a decent car wax. Wax from the Circle K car wash makes the rain drops roll off the windscreen when driving and that'd just be cheap stuff. Rain X is apparently fantastic but not sure how effective it would be on the rear window.

I've been washing my own car for 4 years :) I just found the wax was helpful for the windscreen after I brought my mam's car there.

Makes sense if the issue is the dirt though, Rain X won't help with that.

The original Ioniq didn't have a wiper either but visibility was never an issue, the new car on the other hand just seems to attract dirt.

My old Octavia has a rear wiper but I find I hardly ever use it, I guess its down to the shape of the car.
