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.
