Thanks for this. Is there a guide in how to install this yourself ?

How? 🤣It's a warranty, freely given. If there's better warranties elsewhere, the buyer is free to enter into that contract. There's no contract issue here at all...because there's no contract.

Mines there. 8 rows from the top, 3rd on the left. Premium plus, cyber grey 👌

1 Month into ownership and a few thoughts from me:

Range/Consumption

• Average consumption over first 1000km has been 20kWh/100km which on exec spec (58KWh) gives real range of 300km. This tallies pretty well with what I've been tracking, e.g. when battery at 50% the GOM has usually said ~150km.
• This has almost exclusively been short trips (<20mins) around South Dublin, so I'm pretty happy with that. Rarely do we give the car a chance to warm up and it's winter too.

What we don't like

• The boot is a bit shallow for daily use, but if we need it, we can remove the false floor since we keep all the "car" stuff (chargers etc) in the frunk.
• Yes, the back window needs a wiper. Ours is pretty dirty. But due to the slightly shallow boot, and mirrors for kids, the view is pretty obstructed anyway so wing mirrors are what's used.
• I would like if the selectable buttons had a wider range of choice for what you assign them to (possibly the most nit picky thing ever)
• Android Auto is a bit sensitive to cable choice on my phone (works fine with my wife's)

What we Like

• All the EV mod cons (e.g. driver profiles, preheating, the various driver assists)
• The size, there is so much space internally
• The flat floor in the back has allowed us to put our 2 rear facing car seats shoulder to shoulder. One behind the passenger, and the other in the middle seat. This means the seat behind the driver is available for use all the time. In a lot of cars, the uneven floor or lack of space means the car seats need to be in a window seat, leaving a sort of redundantly available middle seat when you have 2 in.
• The boot is shallow but large, we keep 2 buggies in it permanently. One with all the wheels on, the other with some wheels on. And there's still space for bits and bobs in and around them.
• The bit of floor space in front of the console is loved by my wife, she finally has somewhere to put her handbag.
• I made a magnetic phone folder for the magnetic pad, which is pretty neat. (nothing high tec, just a few magnets glues to a phone holder)
• The white colour, it's less flashy and looks better dirty than some of the other colours we've seen around (we are not the kind to wash our car every weekend).

Obviously tonnes more thoughts, but they're some off the top of my head.

Yes the software downloads the latest version even though the website mentions Nov/Dec 2021

Yes, myself and my wife have a profile each and have adjustesd settings based on each of our preferences. It's better than switching things about every time you get in and switching them back again. Just hit your profile and everything is set the way you like it. I set mine up through User Profile Settings in the app, was handy enough.

Does it close when you push the button inside? It's the same button that opens it, I see on another forum where some people had problems with the pressure point on the door when opening.

Same problem on mine. I just use the key fob to open it.

Whatever the science, you have an eight year warranty and, so far, I have not seen any caveats regarding levels of charge, number of charges and how far to let the battery run down before charging, or levels to charge to on a regular basis.

Much of the info seems to be hearsay - which will have some basis in reality.

I’ve not seen anything about battery ‘memory’ which has been a problem with lithium - ion batteries in cameras etc. nor have I seen any information as to measures taken to avoid runaway batteries.

There was a video some weeks ago on You Tube which showed the car up on a ramp. There is some heavyweight crash protection of the battery pack front and back.

It work fine today, there was a frost last night when I was trying to open it wonder had that something to do with the mechanics of it?

I thought it had stopped on mine too but realised it only opens with a manual press when the car is unlocked. I thought it would open with key in my pocket like the doors.

This might be a stupid question but what kind of range should I be seeing when fully charged. I have the 73 kWh battery, but when fully charged it only ever shows me something in the 390 km's of range. Never see it show 480 on the screen or app. How do I check that I actually have the correct battery to begin with, I just realised I never actually checked this anywhere. Just got it last week.

Car has developed an annoying rattle at the rear at slow to medium speeds on any bit of rough road- plenty to choose from in Kerry!

Emptied the boot including the cover, base and the under carpet. Checked the rear seats were secure, the seat belts weren’t rattling and the panelling wasn’t loose. Eventually, by pressing the headlining just in front of the tailgate into which the sun roof cover retracts I found the rattle which is something, possibly wiring, bouncing against the underside of the roof. A trip to the dealer is coming up.

Depends on what spec car you want.

There is a shipment due in April but cars are on boat over at this stage. There might be some Ioniq 5 in certain trim & colours not reserved for customers. Probably best to ring your local dealers & see what's available soon.

A new order now wouldn't be available until June I reckon. Hyundai Ireland seem to get shipment in every 2 months.

There is a page on the Hyundai website comparing different vehicles. I'm pretty sure that the interior is bigger than any of their big ice SUVs.
