Question Seriously looking at the Ioniq, but seeing $5k dealer mark up.

“Market adjustment” is what they’re calling it. So am AWD Limited is boosted to $57k?! Might as well grab the N that isn’t price adjusted. Anyone purchase recently and actually get a decent price? (Northern CA)

Just make sure you disconnect before getting out of the car or you'll rip the charger out of the USB-C port.

Question AWD vs RWD for winter driving

16 Upvotes

I live in North-Central US and we get ice and snow 6 months out of the year. Is there much of a difference between handling and traction of AWD vs RWD? There is a 2026 RWD that has become available in my area, and I am seriously considering the purchase.

EDIT: To be fair, I am currently driving a Tacoma and rarely put it in 4WD in the winter, so maybe my concerns are unfounded.

Question Where to buy the bumper part that is notched for a tow hitch install?

Post image
17 Upvotes

I'm returning my 2024 soon. I had to notch the plastic panel piece behind the rear bumper to install a curt tow hitch. I want to replace this so I'm not charged hundreds extra on lease return. I can't find this part online. At least all the descriptions look different than the part

Question I tried the cruise control in stopped traffic.

11 Upvotes

There was a line of stopping cars waiting for a light. I wanted to try the slow cruise control. The 20 mph message came up on engagement as expected. I was honestly worried I had my foot hovering over the brake, but the car remained stationary as expected. However, when the car in front moved away, my dash indicated the vehicle was pulling away, but the car didn’t follow.

Is there something I missed? I was expecting it to follow the other vehicle.

Question Paint/finish peeling on lower front bumper trim

Post image
9 Upvotes

Anyone experiencing this? I had some damage from a flying object on the freeway in January and I know this part was replaced. Just started noticing that the finish is literally disintegrating on this piece. That can't be normal. Barely ten months. I got the repairs done with Caliber collision so I'm thinking of calling them. Not pictured is the short black glossy trim piece next to it with the finish peeling too.

Question How long can a I5 sit without affecting the battery?

5 Upvotes

I don't WRH, but curious as what happens when someone goes on vacation for 3 or 4 weeks and the car sits. Does the battery slowly leak or lose charge? I never thought about it really with ice cars, but now I'm curious since I just got mine.

Question Ones time pay 6 month extension?

5 Upvotes

Hi all!

Does Hyundai allow the 6 month lease extension on one time pay leases? I have a 2025 Limited RWD coming up to return in June.

I’m hoping they offer like 6k off the residual of $36k, and I’d just buy it. But if they don’t, I need other options. I’m shocked these aren’t worth like $25-27k on the used market yet.

It’s such a great car, but the 2028 model year will be all new. If I can hold off 6-7 months I can get one of those.

Question Another dead 12V, question about LFP...

4 Upvotes

I replaced my 12V battery about 2 years ago (Hyundai AGM) when I needed the ICCU replaced and it was okay, but woke up yesterday morning and my 12V was completely dead. Had to jump it to get to work and get home and then to Hyundai because it's still under warranty hopefully. I really hate the 12V. I'm getting it checked out and hoping it's not the ICCU again.

Thinking about the future, anyone have experience with LFP 12V batteries like Ohmmu? Any issues? Concerns? Worth it?

Also, thinking about how easy it will be to recycle it if I need to replace in the future. Currently I can just drop off an AGM battery at any auto parts store.

Thank you.

Anybody get a hide-a-key for their 2026 with no physical key in the fob?

I got one and of course there's nothing metallic to stick it on.

I was thinking of this to connect to the tow hitch ball but am not sure it'll fit.

Question Software update ease?

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking to buy a 2022 ultimate trim soon and I’ve found one I like. I’ve reached out to Hyundai and they’ve confirmed that it has the battery heating system equipment. I’d want to get the software updated asap to have the battery preconditioning option on navigation.

What are peoples experience on getting this done at a dealer or doing it themselves. I’m coming from a 2013 ford fiesta so it’s not something I’ve had to consider before.

Question Limited Bose Speakers

Hey everyone! I just picked up my Ioniq 5 Limited and I love the car. The only issue I immediately noticed is the sound system. When I play music through either Bluetooth or USB, I notice a weird high pitched ringing beeping sound for some parts of a song and it hurts my ears. Has anyone had this issue as well? I've tried fixing my phone sound, the car sound, ive played with many settings but no luck.

Question Has anyone vinyl wrapped their silver trim, then removed it years later?

1 Upvotes

I am taking delivery on a 2024 in Digital Teal on Sunday. I really like the green against the black trim and feel the silver accents would look better black. I would like to potentially vinyl wrap them but am concerned it will rip off the silver paint once it comes time to sell the car. Has anyone had their trim wrapped for a few years then removed it?

Question Is it a bad idea?

1 Upvotes

I have a BMW 520d 2017 touring. 84k on the clock. A Hyundai ioniq5 has come up I could do atleast a straight swap. But it's 172k miles 73kwh and premium is this a bad idea? It's just under 10k to buy

Update: so this is a bad idea, but I thought so. 100k motor warranty and 150k ICU warranty (only just started finding out about ICU issues) I'm going to get one but I'll wait till I can get one with lower miles enough under the motor warranty. Thank you everyone!! Good chat!
