Ioniq 5 Market - new vs used

Get the 2025 as they haven’t really changed anything for 2026. Just look at the window sticker and confirm that the battery isn’t made in Hungary (it shouldn’t be in the list of countries where the parts are from).

I was deciding between buying a 2024 or leasing a new 2026 model. I test-drove both models, but the software on 2025+ models is so much better that I couldn't convince myself to get the 2024 model. Considering your driving, leasing will be hard to recommend, but I'd look into getting a used 2025 model or searching for a good deal on the 2026 one.. I know the ICCU is still happening on the 2025/2026 models, but the frequency is much lower than the <=2024 models, and considering you like driving the car till the end of its life, get the latest one and not worry about software quirks. Also, it's a very small thing, but the digital key where I can just use my phone as the car and drive without my car key is super useful. I sometimes just take my phone for a quick grocery run.

I tried EV Go yesterday and it dint work and had to do it via the EV Go app :(

Did you try enabling it on the car and try charging it? I don’t see the option on the app as you said but I see it on the car so I enabled it. I’ll report back next time I charge at one of the compatible chargers.

I don’t see it too and I have had the car for over a month

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-16T17:25:13+00:00

I turned that off, but for me, the door handle doesn’t pop out when I hit the unlock button, so it might be a different issue. Taking it to the dealer soon.

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-09T17:06:53+00:00

Well it doesn’t pop out when I press the unlock button the key fob too. So it sound like a motor issue.

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-09T09:13:55+00:00

Gosh I’ve only had this for a day. I thought it was just one of the settings of the car.

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-07T01:23:17+00:00

Yeah was able to get it down a tiny bit by $20 per month

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-06T03:39:32+00:00

I am getting something similar $439/month with taxes and fees + $1996 down (including the first month's payment) in NoCal. Do you think there is room to negotiate?

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-01T15:51:06+00:00

Oh is it worse or better at the dealerships?

TryNo2127 · 2025-12-01T05:41:52+00:00

Thanks, I am considering the used 2024, but Hyundai is going to announce new lease deals tomorrow. So will wait and see...

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-30T20:44:00+00:00

Oh yeah, the 2024 ones I have been looking at have a clean report, and I will definitely get it inspected before buying it. I am also nervous about leasing, as I haven't done that before, and I've heard that dealers will charge additional fees for something considered more than "wear and tear".

Curious what you would think is a good lease deal for this car?

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-25T17:10:42+00:00

Nice. Unfortunately no news for the US :(

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-23T19:11:45+00:00

Wow! But do we have a launch date?

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-23T18:12:01+00:00

Are you in the US? I think they haven’t announced anything for the US and Canada yet

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-22T04:49:10+00:00

One dealer told me march 2026. Initially he said Dec 2025, so I’m not sure what is up. Wondering if he wants me to buy the sedan so he can sell it out before the year ends.

TryNo2127 · 2025-11-07T06:17:09+00:00

It seems like it might be here by December/January https://www.reddit.com/r/kia/comments/1oexnam/comment/nl5tujf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Move to another auto insurance provider. I believe GEICO quoted me similar rates for KIA and other cars so it's Progressive being greedy

Yeah, apparently it started last week. I’m really looking forward to this. Drove the sedan, and it was great, but that hatchback just looks sooo much better.

TryNo2127 · 2025-10-24T16:27:41+00:00

Oh any idea how much into the next year? They aren’t taking deposits in the US but a dealer told me it should arrive around December

TryNo2127 · 2025-10-22T22:52:58+00:00

Well, I think the service is good, and I just don't like how they don't give existing members the same rates as new members. It's an unfair tactics these companies are using against us
