Would She Buy It Again? My Wife’s Hyundai Ioniq 5 Experience
In this video, I sit down with my wife Ashley—who’s definitely not a car person—to get her honest thoughts on the Hyundai Ioniq 5. She’s been daily driving it after spending time behind the wheel of both my Rivian and our old Tesla Model Y. We talk about what she likes, what drives her nuts, and how it compares to the other EVs she’s experienced. Spoiler: her take is refreshingly real and not full of car jargon.
For what it’s worth, I signed up for the Rivian Tracker newsletter specifically because it’s Rivian focused. Kudos if you’re growing the reach but suspect there are others like me who will likely leave if Rivian Tracker expands to other brands. My ¢2. (Also, *please* turn off the “Get Notified!” pop-up. 🙂
Thanks
Agree with Matt, this has nothing to do with Rivian.
Interestingly we have a 23 R1S (own) and 24 Ioniq5 SE ER (lease) as our household daily drivers.
No question, these are 2 of the best EVs for their form factor on the market today (Although Lucid Gravity might be a good blend of both):
For commutes – Ioniq5
For roadtrips and 7 passenger – R1S
Ioniq is a better value overall and way easier to use; Android Auto, no Vampire Drain etc. That being said it’s a lease, so we will see what’s out in mid 26
Agree with Matt above.
Yep agreed. We love this site for everything Ribian in a informative fashion. Least thing we’d need is opinated reviews especially for other brands.
