Main summary
Key takeaways
Product reviewed
Hyundai IONIQ 5 (EV) — owner review after 3 years (2022–2025) and ~64,000 km (about 20,000 km/year).
Key features / what the reviewer highlights
Battery & range usability
- The battery is described as still performing like early ownership.
- Estimated real-world range: ~500–550 km per 100% charge.
- Includes a real-life heavy-load trip example: ~80 km with 3 adults + 3 children + full luggage.
- Estimated uphill reduction: ~14%
- Reviewer notes a rough calculation suggesting minimal degradation.
- Uses WLTP-based range expectations and argues competitors often market range using different standards, making comparisons unfair.
- V2L function used as an “at-home generator” during power outages.
- Claimed benefit: less noisy than a gasoline generator.
- Tested ability to run household power from 100% to 20% battery.
Charging cost / running cost experience
- One full charge is said to provide high savings vs petrol.
- Petrol anecdote: IDR 500,000 worth of petrol lasts less than a week for the same routines.
- EV vs petrol comparison mentioned: roughly ~10% of petrol cost for a similar range (exact numbers are partially unclear due to subtitles).
Interior comfort & soundproofing
- Strong soundproofing: thick foam/dampener under panels.
- Cabin remains quiet even without double-glazed windows.
- Seat material (reported as “vegan leather” / eco-leather) is described as breaking in like real leather over time.
Practicality / electronics
- Center console praised as more practical than some versions.
- Reviewer notes easier exit because of console layout.
- Android Auto / Apple CarPlay (wireless) work well.
- A USB port was previously damaged but later repaired under warranty.
- A front projection feature is used to display content.
Durability notes (non-battery)
- Suspension generally feels durable.
- Compared to Santa Fe and Palisade: good shock absorber longevity, though toll-road ride becomes bouncy after some mileage.
- Interior/exterior materials hold up well, with a few recurring wear points.
Problems / cons mentioned (with examples)
1) 12V battery issue (not the main EV battery)
- Even though it’s an EV, it still uses a 12-volt battery.
- Reviewer experienced a “dead 12V battery” recently (dash warning to replace).
- Replacement cost: under ~Rp 3 million (exact figure partly unclear).
- Battery type mentioned: 5621 LN2 MF (described as hard to find).
- Suggestion: keep a power bank/jumper to restart/enable access to services.
- Reviewer states there are no special jump/start tricks:
- Hyundai repair shop confirmed you can replace directly without special jumpering.
2) Coolant / service cost for EV system
- Mentions pink/white coolant types:
- battery coolant vs motor coolant
- It must be drained every ~60,000 km.
- Official Hyundai service estimate: ~Rp 2–5 million (unclear exact number).
- Reason given: “special non-conductive radiator fluid.”
3) Tires are expensive (and large size)
- Tires cost roughly Rp 2+ million per tire (one line mentions 4 million+, but subtitle is inconsistent).
- Reason: EV-specific tire + R20 size.
- Pros: tires wear well; tread still usable after 64,000 km.
- Cons: small edge cracks, but still not time to replace.
4) Recurring cabin/fit-and-finish wear
- Rear interior/trim issues
- Some IONIQ 5s have rear creaking; reviewer says this car has no creak so far.
- Mentions other owners fix with added padding/parts.
- Rubber components come loose easily
- Door/window rubber described as thick but easy to peel off, a known issue across IONIQ 5 variants.
- Reviewer also mentions Santa Fe in comparison.
- Instead of glue, they re-install pieces.
- Rear inner fender carpet weakens
- Carpet becomes weak and needs tightening/glue, especially after muddy roads.
- Roof/glass creaking
- Top glass sometimes creaks slightly.
- Reviewer says it’s masked by the sound system.
5) Resale value is the biggest annoyance
- Main complaint: resale drop due to market changes:
- Initial release around ~Rp 860 million
- Demand-driven spike: up to ~Rp 900+ million (subtitle fragments)
- VAT change (11% → 1%) caused a sharp drop to ~Rp 700–800 million
- Increased competition from Chinese EVs expanded buyer options, pushing second-hand prices down.
Battery durability / warranty context
- Reviewer reports the battery remains healthy after 64,000 km in 3 years, with no noticeable performance decline.
- Warranty stated: 8 years or 160,000 km.
- Reviewer plans not to sell until 8 years to validate long-term durability.
- ICCU update is described as important:
- claim: not updating can “eat the battery”
- reviewer says ICCU has been updated “since last year” (timing unclear in subtitles)
- battery has been fine so far.
Comparisons vs other EVs / standards
Range standards comparison (major theme)
- Reviewer argues Hyundai presents IONIQ 5 range using WLTP.
- Many competitors use NEDC / CLTC / other standards, making their claims less directly comparable.
- Claim: this causes consumer confusion because marketing range often looks higher than what real buyers experience.
- Examples referenced:
- Omoda: uses different claim standards (NEDC-like comparison vs WLTP-like context)
- BYD/Chinese EVs: often use CLTC or other standards
- Cherry: described as using “two standards,” with WLTP comparisons
- Mentions brands using “Era” standard (subtitle suggests a large mismatch), including Citroen
Ride quality vs newer Chinese EVs
- Reviewer’s conclusion: IONIQ 5 still has advantages in ride quality and comfort—a “European standard” feel.
Competition in budget segments
- With a budget of ~IDR 500 million, many EV options exist now.
- Implicit takeaway: market competition makes IONIQ 5 resale less attractive.
Pros (as stated)
- Battery still feels strong after 3 years / 64,000 km; no felt degradation and acceleration/performance unchanged.
- Large running cost savings vs petrol for daily use.
- Comfort and soundproofing (thick foam/dampener).
- Eco/vegan leather quality: breaks in and becomes more natural.
- Suspension durability generally good (minimal rattling; compared favorably to expectations).
Cons (as stated)
- 12V battery replacement can be a problem (dead battery warning; cost and sourcing difficulty).
- Expensive tires due to EV-specific R20 size.
- Some common trim/rubber/carpet loosening issues.
- Resale value decline is the most annoying.
- Range marketing confusion due to different testing standards across brands.

- Rear trunk customization: removed subwoofer; added a stand (Bekja Autotronics).
- Sound insulation: thick foam dampener; quiet cabin even without double-glass.
- Rubber trim can detach easily (door/window rubbers); common across IONIQ 5 and also seen in Santa Fe; re-install instead of glue.
- Inner fender carpet weakens over time (rear only); needs tightening/glue; common after muddy roads.
- Top glass creaks slightly; not audible over audio.
- Center console practicality praised.
- USB port damaged then repaired under warranty; Android Auto/CarPlay depends on good USB cables.
- Front projection + infotainment (YouTube/Netflix); reviewer says it’s “fun,” kids use it more than the driver.
- Eco-leather/leather described as made from plant oils (corn/canola) and recycled materials; breaks in like real leather.
- Wear patterns vary between steering wheel and seats; driver seat wrinkles sooner.
- Door trim generally holds up; dirty-prone part identified in recycling/trim area.
- AC part desire to buy not found online (shared car mentioned).
- Range estimate: ~500–550 km at 100% based on rough trip calculation and real experience.
- Range standards comparison: WLTP vs NEDC/CLTC/Era; claims competitors’ numbers aren’t directly comparable.
- V2L used for home lighting/generator during power outages; less noisy than gasoline generator; tested 100% to 20% for home electricity.
- Battery degradation expectation: warranty 8 years/160,000 km; reviewer wants to confirm through 8 years.
- Suspension durability: compared to Santa Fe/Palisade; shock absorbers may weaken on toll roads after higher mileage; toll-road bounciness mentioned.
- ICCU updates to prevent battery issues (claim: not updated can “eat the battery”).
- Biggest annoyance: resale value drop due to VAT change and more EV competition.
- Charging vs petrol costs: petrol expenses and EV savings described (numerical details partially unclear).
- Final recommendation: still worth buying versus newer Chinese EVs for comfort/ride quality and “worry-free” ownership; dislikes wide body for small alleys.
