Can the Hyundai Ioniq 5 use Tesla chargers?

Tesla has opened up many of its UK and Ireland Supercharger sites for use by other brands, which means hundreds of individual Superchargers are available to Ioniq 5 owners, although you’ll have to download the Tesla smartphone app and set up an account first.

How big is the Hyundai Ioniq 5?

The Ioniq 5 is 4,655mm long, 1,890mm wide, and 1,605 tall.

How fast is the Hyundai Ioniq 5?

It varies. The 168hp model takes 8.5 seconds to reach 62mph, but the more powerful rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models trim that to 7.3 seconds and 5.1 seconds. The mighty 650hp Ioniq 5 N reduces it to just 3.4 seconds…

How long does it take to charge the Hyundai Ioniq 5?

From a home charger, a big-battery Ioniq 5, with 73kWh of energy capacity, will take around nine hours to charge. The smaller 58kWh battery will charge in slightly less than eight hours. Fast charging is the Ioniq 5’s game, though. Its high-performance charging system can cope with up to 220kW of rapid DC charging power, which means it can take less than 20 minutes to reach 80% charge.

There are two battery packs fitted to the Ioniq 5, a smaller unit with a 58kWh capacity, and a larger unit with a 73kWh capacity.

Is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 an SUV?

Technically yes, but stylistically no. The Ioniq 5 is big enough to be an SUV, and roomy like one inside, but its styling has been inspired by 1970s and 1980s hatchbacks, including Hyundai’s own original Pony, the Mk1 VW Golf, and the Lancia Delta. We prefer to think of it as a big hatchback.

Is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 reliable?

It’s a little too early to tell for certain, but Hyundai backs the car up with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and a separate eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty for the battery.

Is a second hand Hyundai Ioniq 5 a good car?

Proof that electric cars don’t have to be shapeless blobs, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 riffed heavily on Hyundai’s seventies and eighties design back catalogue for its sharp-edged retro hatchback style. It’s a car that will confuse any Father Ted fans though, because while it looks small when it’s far away, up close it’s genuinely large — easily the same size as a Skoda Enyaq or Ford Mustang Mach-E.

Of course the upside to that size is that the cabin is seriously roomy, and higher-spec versions get plush club-class style seats in the front, complete with retracting footrests, so that you can sit in total comfort while stopping for a charge.

The cabin is also really well made and almost up to luxury car standards, aside from some cheaper bits such as the stubby little gear selector behind the steering wheel. The centre console also optionally slides back and forth, so that those sat in the rear can have a bit more storage space if they need it.

Those front seats are supportive but the driving position could be a bit more adjustable — if you’re tall, you’ll end up sitting with your arms stretching out for the wheel, but your legs splayed out. Space in the back is excellent though, with loads of room for heads and legs.

There’s also a flat cabin floor, so getting three grown-ups in the back is actually pretty easy — although the high floor means that their knees will be stuck up in the air, which isn’t ideal for long journeys — and the doors open wide so getting child car seats, and their occupants, in and out is easy too.

The boot is reasonable, at 527 litres, and there’s some space under the floor and in the nose for charging cables, but it’s still a good bit smaller than what some rivals — especially the Skoda Enyaq — can offer. The Ford Explorer also has a bigger boot than that.

There’s a decent choice of how to power your Ioniq 5. The basic model, before the recent tech update, came with a 58kWh battery and a 168hp motor driving the rear wheels. That only had a range of 238 miles — although to be fair to Hyundai, the Ioniq 5 was more reliable than many others in how much of its claimed range it could deliver, with 220 miles being realistic on one charge — so many went for the larger 72kWh battery, which had a range of up to 298 miles for the version with the 214hp rear-drive motor, and a little less for the 301hp all-wheel drive model. Later on, the rear-drive 214hp model was upgraded to a 228hp motor, while the all-wheel drive version was boosted to 321hp. The range also improved a little, with the rear-driven, big-battery version now hitting 315 miles of claimed range.

Hyundai has given the Ioniq 5 super-fast 800-volt charging too, which means that it can take up to 220kW of DC charging power, meaning that from the fastest chargers you can top up to 80% in less than 20 minutes. Slower charging on AC power runs at up to 11kW, but on a 7.4kW home charger a big-battery Ioniq 5 will take almost ten hours to fully charge up.

In any form, the Ioniq 5 is an easy-going car to drive, with light steering and a great view out through big windows all-round. Although it’s big enough to count as an SUV, it feels a little lower-slung and more agile than most alternatives, and while the suspension isn’t quite as smooth over bumps as, say, a VW ID4, generally it’s very comfortable and refined.

It’s also better to drive than you might think. It’s not as much fun as a Mustang Mach-E, but there’s plenty of grip and some sense of driver appeal. If you want to stretch that to its ultimate, then you need to go for the amazing 650hp Ioniq 5 N, but that’s a brand-new model and won’t be troubling used buyers for a while yet.

All models come with active lane-keeping steering and adaptive cruise control, but you’ll end up turning the lane-keeping system off most of the time, as it reacts too aggressively for comfort.

The Ioniq 5 has been a big seller since Hyundai introduced it, and that means there’s plenty of choice in the used market. It’s a stylish and swish electric car, with more character than you might expect and, in the big-battery versions, plenty of range too.

What to look for when buying a used Hyundai Ioniq 5

It’s a little early to tell how reliable the Ioniq 5 will be in the long term as it’s still quite a new model, but the main thing to check is the battery. If the car doesn’t come with an independent battery health check, consider getting it done before you buy. The Ioniq 5’s battery and battery management system are still quite up to date, so there are no major concerns, but you just want to be careful about any rogue issues.

Hyundai gives the batteries an eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty while the rest of the car is covered by the usual five-year, unlimited mileage warranty.

Hyundai, as a brand, finished mid-table in the most recent Driver Power owner survey, in 17th place out of 32, with 22.8% of owners reporting an issue with their cars.
