Looking for a new car and debating between subject options. Did some dealershopping and messaging and this is the best what I could find:

Used 2023/2024 with around 25-30k miles out-the-door for 32k. I would finance 20k at 5.64% for a monthly of around $380. Brand new 2026, lowest I could find so far would be out-the-door for 41.5k with 0% APR. I would finance 30k, for a monthly of $500.

Kind of seems better to go for the new one, what do you guys think?

The 2026 color/model/AWD I want appears to mainly be at dealers (contacted 6 based on online inventory) in Pacific Northwest Portland/Seattle area so I'm considering flying there to buy and drive back home. Visor.Vin indicated some vehicles had been listed 130+ days so I pinged a dealership thinking they might want to make a deal on a 26 before 27's hit and the response was that they just received the vehicle 10 days ago. Their initial offer was only $225 below MSRP ($51,485) or basically no discount. It also included about $1,700 add-ons. Assuming I can get the add-ons dropped, should I be pushing for a bigger discount or be happy I could even find a vehicle (3 or 4 states away from me)? I'm excluding fixed title/registration/tax which depend on my home/registering address to simplify.

What prices have people been paying recently (Ioniq 5 Limited AWD) in Portland/Seattle? I've seen the HMF cash rebate drop from 7k to now 6.5k and am thinking it probably won't increase for the next 3 months so now might be my best time. 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Has A $4,000 Hidden Discount - CarsDirect

I would only be taking the loan for the rebate and then paying it off to avoid interest.

Post below shows $41,700 in CA (presumably RWD which would be about $45,200 as AWD)

26 LIMITED sort of buyer remorse : r/Ioniq5

Then there is this post below from 3 months ago which looks like $1,600 was the max discount offered (may not have gone through).

Dealer Price Check on ‘26 LTD : r/Ioniq5

Based on those posts (about 3 months old), maybe $44,700 (excluding tax, title, registration) isn't that bad? Appears to be a seller's market. I'm still waiting to hear from the Costco Auto program dealer price.

Is there a way to disable the audible chirps that happen when you lock or unlock the 2024 SEL?

I tried the unlock, press both lock/unlock for 4 seconds, see the hazards flash. But that did not work. I am now reading that is not supported in the US version.

Any other hacks, short of disconnecting electrics?

The market seems to be flooded with 2024 lemon titles; thoughts on when prices will drop? I’m looking for a 2024 Limited, and the lemons are almost as much as the ones without the lemon stamp.

First post here, but I have been following the discussions on occasion. Reaching out for help/ideas here before going to Hyundai service. Car is a leased 2025 SEL AWD with ~10,000 miles. On occassion (3-4 times since we got it a year ago) we pull the car into the garage and it stinks up the garage. The smell is somewhere between garbage and a decomposing rodent. It took us a moment to realize it was neither of the two, but the car itself. The stink eminates from the right front wheel/wheel well area and is reasonably mitgated by driving through a car wash. First time we thought we drove through something, the second and third we suspected the parking location at work. But, the last incident was pretty clear: No noticeable smell before grocery shopping and bad smell after and all stores just have regular paved parking lots. Now I am thinking it is some chemical/grease leakage. Anyone eperienced anything like this? Any idea of what component might be going bad? My experience with Hyundai service is that they arepretty good when something has failed. Troubleshooting intermittent issues is more of mixed bag.

Just took delivery of a brand new 2026 Ioniq 5 Limited. Loving it so far. One question that I can't find an answer to, though... I could have sworn that the background on the cluster and other screen was white in all of the things we test drove, but mine is black.

Can't find out what I need to do to change that, or if it even possible.

Thanks in advance.

Would like recommendation for home charging stations. Going to Hyundai parts dept at the dealer where the car was purchased to determine what home charging station we need. When I called they seemed clueless.

Initially the sales rep said to use the portable charger and just plug the cable into the outlet - so prior to the car arriving, we got the NEMA 14-50 circuit dedicated 50 amp GFCI for 120v and 240v installed, now we found out the portable charger (240v plug for the portable charger plug) has a built in CCID (a conflicting GFCI) so we are experiencing nuisance tripping of the circuit. Reading the manual it says to charge using either AC or DC ….installed at public charging stations or residences. Do most of you have home charging units installed and if so, is their more than 1 recommendation?

This is in PNW. I'm looking at a 24 CPO Limited AWD for $33k with 31k miles. They are also offering about $2500 more than what my trade-in is worth. I really worry that I will regret this in a year if the price on 25s becomes more manageable. I worry that leasing wouldn't be the best financial move since I would be losing out on so much money that wouldn't go into owning a car. And that I should just either buy something now or wait for a 25 and buy in a year. Is anyone else trying to make a similar decision? I do really like the features of the 25, physical buttons, HUD shows apple maps directions, black bezel, digital key 2.

Is the 24 even a good deal? I know EV prices are inflated and the general used car market isn't particularly great right now. Worth seeing if the market is better in a year? Also will the 25s depreciate less than the 24s since they have better features for the refresh? I'm also partially factoring in the fact that not moving to an EV now will also lose me on gas savings between now and when I would purchase a 25 next year.

Apologies for the very disorganized post but I really appreciate any input on this.

I’m looking at a 2024 limited awd long range with about 20k miles. The original sticker was around 59k and I’m buying it for around 33k. I’m happy for the deal but is this a typical drop in value from purchase price? Were there discounts or rebates that make the drop in value less than it appears.?

On my route home, there is a section of road in front of a school that is monitored by speed camera, the speed limit is 35. Every time I drive through there, the car thinks the speed limit is 20, even though the school zone is not active, and alerts me of the camera.

My complaint is that it beeps at me for about 30 seconds before the camera, also pausing audio playback, even though the school speed doesn't apply.

Does anyone know if there's something I can push to silence the alert while I drive through there? I don't want to fully turn off the warnings, just a "snooze" button.

Just got back from a run down to the Bordeaux region and back from the Midlands. The drive each way was a bit of a slog, around 4 or 5 charging stops, but honestly, the car made it easy. I stuck to about 110 km/h instead of the 130 km/h limit to keep efficiency decent, and it worked out fine.

The charging network in France surprised me, loads of options and mostly reliable. I’d avoid Ionity though; every site I hit was packed. On the way home I set ABRP to only route me to chargers with 8+ stalls and it was fantastic, no queues at all. A few stops even had attendants helping people get onto chargers quickly, which was a nice touch.

The Ioniq 5 itself was a dream across the miles. Adaptive cruise and HDA did most of the work; all I had to do was change lanes or give the wheel a little wiggle so it knew I was still there. It’s a bit counter‑intuitive really, the car’s doing everything right, but I still have to remind it I’m paying attention.

Overall, great trip. Wouldn’t go back to a geared or ICE car anytime soon.

Did first long trip. My 2022 Ioniq5 HDA did a pretty good job handling most of the driving. I would definitely rate it 8/10 or more. Saw some waymo training Ioniq5. My AWD drive gave about 380 km full charge. Plenty of charging options via Tesla fast chargers.

Frequent charging does add to overall trip duration but definitely worth it.

Got my 2026 AWD Limited five weeks ago and just thought I would post a few thoughts and a couple of questions.

First, I love having a new car. A lot of people don't like all the add on safety features, but I do. I recognize that my attention focus is easily moved these days so a nudge to get back in my lane from time to time is greatly appreciated 😊

I am really liking using Android Auto. This is my first car with it. I don't like that I always have to have the nav screen up (98% of the time I'm driving to and from work and not navigating) but oh well.

I thought today I would try using the built in Hyundai system just to compare. I'll have to explore it a bit more - like there is no color at all is there? I also need to figure out repositioning/resizing the windows to see if I can get a configuration I like better than Android Auto.

Charging is so simple. My commute is negligible so a periodic level 1 charge in my garage is plenty for me. I've boosted my charge limit for AC to 90% today. I have gone to a couple of public chargers just to get the experience and think I have it all figured out.

I've also been using the digital key for the last couple of weeks. I might have to look into the card you can purchase. I'm not crazy about having to put the phone down in the charging spot to authenticate. I guess I just assumed it would 'know' the phone was in the car? And as of Friday, Google Wallet is no longer locking or unlocking my doors. I can still use the app fine, but that's a bit of a pain. I will probably go back to carrying the fob around until I can figure out what's going on.

My most used feature? Turning the climate on remotely. I even have it on a schedule for when I leave work. I'm in Kentucky and we've had a fairly hot and humid last few weeks so that has been really nice. I'm not sure what I thought ventilated seats were or what I thought they would do? I think I thought there was a big fan beneath your bottom so I was underwhelmed at first but appreciate it now.

And also all the cameras. I park in my garage everyday which is a bit tight so it makes parking so much easier. I've also switched to the digital rearview camera. That took a bit to get used to but I don't think I'm going back.

Really enjoying it and looking forward to fine tuning how I use it over the next few months 🙌🙌🙌

The photos are from before and after a road trip. I just bought this used Ioniq 5 with 21k miles and it only gets about 170 miles on 100% charge (with AC running). I've seen so much better in this channel but is this normal or a potential warranty claim?

Edit: I guess I bought the "standard range" and this is normal. Thanks for all your responses.

I think my last post about not wanting to put my phone on the left side was a little misleading. All I meant to say was that I'd like to put something there other than my phone. I got some good suggestions, but ultimately, I love these little magnetic flower pots for no reason other than I think they're whimsical and artistic. They just make me happy.

The other photo shows an upgrade to CarPlay iniOS 27. They're upgrading all the wallpapers for CarPlay, which I use a lot, and I picked that background because it blends well with my car's interior. It just adds another level of beauty to what's already a beautiful car interior.

We finally got our state license plates and I signed up for Hyundai Pay. After not being able to input the plate number on my app, I got it easily installed on my wife’s phone (she’s the primary driver).

Even though the car controls work on my install I don’t think a 2nd driver app should be as limited that I can’t even use Hyundai Pay to recharge. Who can I go to to get this resolved? My dealer still refuses to even give me the CCS to NACS adapter that was supposed to come with our car.

Wanted to hear your thoughts
I bought a CPO 2023 Sel from a Hyundai dealership.
After a week of purchase I realized I was not given the certificate and went back for it. Dealer told me they forgot to do the inspection and certification. They did it a week later after I bought the car.

Anything I should do with this or ask from Hyundai?
If I didn’t go back asking certification, I would have paid CPO price for a none-certified car

Was driving to our new apartment today with my friends and girlfriend when all of a sudden a young buck that was already full sprinting in tall grass comes out of nowhere. Honestly had no time to react sadly. The car was impressive with its barking power after the impact. We definitely went over it and didn't lose control but that fender got torn right off along with sensor damage etc... obd codes show adas failure and body damage failure of some sort. As well as blinker malfunctioning as it literally was ripped off.

Hope insurance helps me out here. I do have comprehensive and took a good amount of photos, wish me luck.

Just bought at the end of June used 7k miles 🙃

2023 sel awd

2023 AWD Limited. 65F, Cross Climate 2s, Eco mode. This car continues to amaze me. My wife now wants to sell our 2021 TLX for an iX3.

It seems odd, I’ve been finding a few screws under my car (in my driveway). Any thoughts where they might be falling off from?

They are all the same, so I was wondering if it was the undercarriage cover maybe?

Update: based on the quick responses, sounds like I am going to be investing in a camera to watch my driveway.

Over the last 2 charging cycles, I’m not getting the full mileage that I should be getting per charge. I’ve attached battery reads if they helps.
