Hyundai Ioniq 5

What is plaint and marring the cost???🤔🤔🤔

Sorry but you're wrong ,Claying does cut slightly into the topcoat and will dull it and leave small scratches,we've done 'em and got paid for 'em.

Got a call from my dealer in Louth that ours arrived in the country this week, they should be taking delivery soon and we will pick up in January.

77kw rwd platinum ordered in August. We were told “maybe March” too, but seems they are getting through certain trims quicker than expected.

Did you buyers get a good deal from returning your used vehicle? Will they guarantee a price now even though the delivery of the new car will be in a few months? Thanks.

My 212 kuga phev was 43k minus 5k grant at the time,so i paid 38k(cash straight deal),i got €2500 more than i paid trading in on ioniq 5 ex plus 58kw(the kuga phev has increased in price since though).I'm very happy with that deal,hope this makes sense!👍

why the 58kw battery? in 2- 3 years it will be well underpowered towards what is coming, hence depreciation. I was talking to a guy in the industry (UK) just today about these cars Ioniq, EV6, Tesla. He recommended bigger battery even if you don't need it as there will be significant moves with battery capacity within the next few years. I was looking at one of the Kia Niros as a starting point so i was recommended to talk to this guy. Reckons the Audi etron & ev6 are the best EV's today. New Tesla will be right up there, his words....i am thinking of holding off for an ev6 now

to be honest a lot of what he was saying went in one ear and out the other, his in r&d for a market leader, very passionate about it, i just wanted a basic opinion. Some key points stuck out to me. Maybe you are right, but batteries will be significantly changing , according to him.

Eh because it's all i need,i'll worry about two or three years time in a couple of years?

Planning for 8 years time?you're really thinking ahead?,and yeah the e-tron has got terrible bad range reviews with some people getting rid because of it.

Out of curiosity, why did you sell your Kuga?

I'm thinking of buying either a plug-in hybrid or a pure EV, but the Kuga plug-in is in my shortlist for sure.

Just wanted full electric-business has been very good and there's a few bob sitting around there.The kuga phev is an excellent car alright imo(350 mpg on it atm)but they're gone expensive now with no grant plus i'm getting more on a trade-in than i paid for it so,,,,,,,,,,

difficult to decide, EV6 is definitely first choice but the Ioniq or ID4? No doubt ID4 will retain value a lot more than the Ioniq or EV6, no matter what dealers tell you, just look at the price history on most Hyundais and Kias. Perhaps ID4 is the smart choice going forward.

Not sure if that is true any more, Hyundai and Kia seem to be up there with the best of them in relation to residual value, especially with EVs.

possibly so, never thought of the Skoda, big beast i hear, will check it out. I had a Tucson before, high spec model of the new one that exploded in 2016 (was it), lost more or less half the value over the 3 years so just a bit wary. Ioniqs look cool (to me) but i think it won't date well, although 3 years should be fine. Contemplating a Rav 4 or the new Sportage plugin . Tucson plug in is nice but after my last experience, i dunno. Sportage looks to be the best value but it is a Kia, never thought i would buy one to be honest. Of course the EV6 looks super . Anyway, will explore further

probably a very sensible comment. thinking about it, those of us who are buying now is because we have too ie pcp renewal or whatever. When production ramps up , which it will, the depreciation will hit most models hard across the board. The more I think it the more I think this is a terrible investment to make at this time. 3 years time and I will pay dearly for it. I am leaning towards paying the bubble (have the cash). my current car will of course depreciate but most likely nowhere near as much.

wouldn't say a lot more, infrastructure in general for EV's is still quite poor, obviously home charging saves the day. But as EV numbers increase, infrastructure must too. Interesting to see how it pans out. I would think they would both depreciate roughly the same over the next 5 years anyway. I wouldn't buy a straight petrol or diesel again. But it is pretty apparent when thinking about it, it is the worst time to buy a car in general. We would get hit in a big way in 3 years time, my opinion of course

anyway, i will stop my comments now, i am on 3 threads waffling about the same subject i guess. I think i will buy the gfv, it is relatively low and sit it out for a year anyway, see how things go

Maybe factor in the 800 volt architecture of ev6 and ioniq 5. ID4's is already outdated, if and when the charger network ramps up with high speed the chargers potential of 350kw Vs I think now 175kw for ID4 will make a difference in resale price. EV6 and Ioniq5 and are future proofed there. One of the reasons I went for ioniq 5, also ID4 infotainment HW & SW is shocking bad.

PCP rate isn't negotiable.

it is a bit wide, a little awkward, i test drove a good few but i think it looks cool. However, the pcp rate is a joke also the tucsons are 3.9%. Dealers offering circa 1 - 2k less on trade ins for Ioniq 5's, stating there isn't many about so they are taking as much profit as possible. Screw that! I have left it and will see what happens over the next year
