Hyundai Ioniq 5

Ended up taking about 45 mins for me. Very easy process and the new graphics are a little cleaner. Full screen android auto looks great as well.

Hopefully that's me all set for the preconditioning update next Friday.

Looks like a price increase & removal of several features on post grant reduction Ioniq 5.

New platinum spec equivalent will now be 62K. The spec that comes just under grant limit drops HUD, Bose sound, surround view monitor, collision avoidance & relaxation/ventilation seats.

Tesla MY is a no brainer now IMO.

Just had a look at the specs. There's loads of stuff missing. So happy i got the Platinum before they changed the spec.

Heard of someone over the weekend who is upgrading their year-old Ioniq 5 to an Ioniq 6, similar spec levels. The cost to change was a good bit higher than I would have expected.

Had a warning light show up on the dash on Sunday, accompanied by audible, persistent warning noises. It advised pulling over somewhere safe and checking power supply.

12v battery warning also showing and manual says to get car towed to a garage. I was 6k from home so I carried on home and parked up there.

Car towed on Monday (by flatbed truck) and diagnosed yesterday. Hoped it would be something small like a software error or simple fix. Instead it seems to be a faulty ICCU and/ or fuse. Parts not available, could be weeks, possibly months. It seems to be a known fault.

Garage trying to sort a courtesy car I can keep for the duration it's off road, hoping to get it tomorrow.

Car was couple weeks back from its first service (or health check), it's 13 months old, there was no prior warning. Would be lying if I said I was not shocked.

Maybe some info here about the ICCU issues for you..(Sorry to hear about you having the trouble with your I5).

From reading reddit this is not uncommon around the 12-14 month age of the car

Something to do with the welding. Hopefully you get your courtesy car and aren’t waiting long.

If it really is a common issue I don’t see why they don’t recall the cars they know have the potential for the problem and just fix. Be easier on everyone. Apparently issue isn’t in newer cara but wouldn’t bet the house on that

Has anyone had any issues with paint peeling from the outside of the car?

Washed the car yesterday and a piece of paint peeled off w.hich is disappointing in a one year old car.

Left the car in at 9 this morning for the first service/visual check and Battery Conditioning update.

Everything done by 3pm and winter mode is gone now so looks like the software update worked as well.

Best of all is the dealer didn't even charge for either 🙂

That was the word last November alright.

Do you mind asking what dealer did the update for you?

I tried to get it done in Cork but it failed.

I emailed Hyundai Ireland and they told me the battery update is not available for the Executive spec even though it has a battery heater and winter mode, so I would like to find a knowledgeable dealer that has done the update to confirm if it can be done or not.

Yes infotainment is upto date, I might give them a call to see if the update will work on the Exec.

Poor from not to advise the rate change. You should seek a refund.

On a side point, its my theory that public charging rates have gravitated over time to the same cost per km as petrol and diesel. Pricing started out as free (revenue not important), then became cost plus margin (covering cost), now it is 'what the market will bear'.

The energy crisis was used as cover to increase the cost to the current leve, but the target was getting to 'Ionity' price levels - which were always 0.79c or thereabouts even when the rest of providers were charging 30% of that. All other providers, ESB, EasyGo, Applegreen, etc, I believe, could see Ionity achieving parity pricing with fossil fuel and so Ionity style pricing is now the market norm.

By the same logic, I would not expect pricing to reduce even when the energy crisis abates, I guess we will all just have to factor in this cost to long distance journeys, and do everything you can to make your home charging the lowest possible cost.

Ioniq 5 uses a special low conductivity coolant which is very expensive per litre.

It's a mitigation against battery fires which caused recalls on earlier KIA/Hyundai EVs.

Depends, mix of 3 years or 60K for low-k coolant changes.
