Hyundai Ioniq 5

Go back to the dealer and have them report it to Hyundai. You don’t say how old your car is, if the door is one in regular use -i.e. for instance in my case with only two of us using the car, the back doors have hardly been used in 10 weeks.

Unless you have accidentally damaged the material outside the range of what would be deemed normal usage, the warranty should cover a replacement, if refused then you could have a case for restitution as the product is not fit for purpose or durable.

No, mine’s fine. Just offering a reasonable way for you to proceed.

As with everything else with the car, everyone, including Hyundai, is on a learning curve.

It isn’t the first time in motoring history that a new material has given problems, either generally or in isolated incidents.

It certainly needs investigation.

BTW the leather is real, just processed in a way that is eco friendly compared to traditional methods.

Did you set up charging in the car or by the app? Using the app last night mine failed to start charging at the scheduled time and 30 minutes later when I went out to the car there was a message on the car screen saying “charging interrupted check cable.”

Having removed and reinserted the cable, charging started but the range had already increased from when the car was last used, indicating that whatever the app said, charging had started on time.

After charging restarted, the charging finished at 80% as set up originally on the app.

Seen that on the FB owners group.

Pause on all new orders, the MY23 model will probably be announced this week along with price increase.

Fairview motors installed mine pre delivery,Thinkware front and rear dashcam wired back to fuse box,very neat and done for €550.

Hi all - have had our Ioniq 5 with the 73kw battery since February and love it. Just wondering what people's experience of a 'full' charge is. The Hyundai website indicates range should read (at that stage) 480km but I get nowhere near that. Max is about 420km. This includes days when not particularly cold etc etc.

Would welcome any insights / advice.

Until we get days with temps in the range of 20 Celsius and above you won't get anywhere near that. The range will vary with temperature and is a guess based on temperature, driving style and will change as you drive. For instance in March I did a 312kms trip starting with 100% battery. Using I-Pedal, some aircon for temperature control (which seams to be more economical that just the heater for some reason I can't work out) when at the end of the trip I took the starting and finishing mileages, added the range the car was saying I had left, I had gained 40 kms range. All new cars, if delivered fully charged, say around 480kms range. Once driven it is rarely achievable again in our climate.

Hi all and thanks. For clarity... I'm not talking about what is actually ACHIEVED. I know that's dependent on loads of variables. I'm asking when it's fully charged, what should it be reading as being available. Are you saying that within two months, that's already revising downwards based on driving etc... and will continue to fall further?

If that's the case, how can you know over time whether the battery itself is becoming less effective?

Its basing it on the way you drive, mine no where near that (prob around 350 at the moment as l do a lot of motorway driving).

If you want to see 480 now the only way I think you'll see it is go into the dealer reset "the brain" of the car starting from scratch again. Dealer suggested that to me also when I bought but haven't taken them up on it yet I suspect it won't be for free 🤔.

Other wise 100% will be based on your driving history under non efficient conditions (e.g cold and wind).

Thanks so much for all those answers and for taking the time!

Woke up this morning to find my radio not working on FM,just static crackling through speakers, anyone else experiencing this on their five day old ioniq 5?

Thanks,will give it a go.

Won’t do any damage at all if you are driving it everyday. You paid for 100% , use it!

The only exception is don’t leave it at 100% and go off on holidays. That’s bad for it.

Lithium-ion batteries will degrade but Hyundai have the confidence to give an eight year warranty on the batteries. It remains to be seen what the warranty covers but on a forum I read some time ago someone in the U.K. with a four year old Ioniq had covered 120,000 miles and had charged the battery on an almost daily basis. The battery capacity was tested prior to sale and was rated at 92%. The consensus seems to be to keep the battery between 20% and 80% unless going on a specific trip where 100% is needed. If you regularly do a daily high mileage try to take breaks in the trip where you can add an amount of charge to stay within the 20%-80% limits. The consensus seems to be that chargers up to 50kWh used regularly won’t have a detrimental effect. The jury seems to be out regarding high power chargers but Ioniq 5 drivers in the USA and Canada seem to be using them as the norm and one of the USPs pushed hard by Hyundai is the 18 minute charge to 80%, obviously aimed at the regular long distance drivers using fast chargers.

Sound lads I did the Jennifer Aniston bit and ye did the science bit 😉
