Three weeks in with the Ioniq 5, and so far it's been pretty good. This is my first EV, so really wasn't sure what to expect. It drives really well, and it's very comfortable - I did a 300 mile trip last weekend and had no issues with the seat comfort at all.
In terms of the driving experience, it's soft compared to the A-Class I had before, but I was expecting that. However, on the 20" wheels and sportier tires of the Project 45 model, it's not overly soft.
I took it from Reading to Goodwood and back yesterday, and was really pleasantly surprised at how the car handles on windy B roads. It felt planted and solid, no complaints with the ride at all.
In terms of negatives, well there's a known issue with the front camera calibration, that causes the assistance features (adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, etc) to raise a load of warnings, and they triggered no less than 10 times yesterday, which was really annoying. There is a software update which resolves the issue, but I'm not booked in until the 1st of November.
Secondly, the routing software is stupid. It'll tell you when you don't have enough charge to get to your destinatiuon but doesn't then plan or offer to plan anything for you. It does give you the option of looking up charge points that are on the way, but it's difficult to see WHERE they are on the route and the one time I tried to select one the car took me to a residential street where there was no charger.
Finally, the Highway Drive Assist function can - on the motorway - automatically adjust the car to the speed limit when cruise control is engaged. Which is great, until you hit a speed restricted area, because the car adjusts the speed down but then after a set distance will revert to what is presumably the speed limit it knows from GPS/mapping information it has. So if the speed signs are not within a set distance the car switches back to 70 and then you're breaking the speed limit.
Despite those issues I'm very happy with the car, and hopefully the software (which of course is shared with the EV6) will be improved and resolve some or all of the complaints I do have.
In terms of efficiency, I am averaging 3.4 miles per kWh, and think I should be able to achieve ~225 miles on a full charge. I don't know if that's good or bad compared to other EVs, but for my use case it's ample. The two or three times a year I go camping, I can pull into a services and with the 800v system charge up fast enough to not really care that I can't hit 300 miles.
