What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range RWD (2024)

Only one whitelisted tester, MotorTrend, published a hands-on review covering the exact 2024 Ioniq 5 line; Edmunds (fetch-blocked) and Car and Driver (page now covers the 2025-2026 facelift, not the 2024 RWD) were excluded. MotorTrend praises the spacious interior, fast charging and value, and recommends the single-motor RWD for its 303-mile range (the most in the Ioniq 5 lineup), while flagging the missing rear wiper and a slightly jittery ride. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Spacious, premium interior with clever functionality; Fast DC charging (Hyundai-claimed 10-80% in ~18 min); Single-motor RWD delivers longest range in lineup (303 mi).

Flagged: No rear windshield wiper on most trims; Slightly jittery ride, could use more plushness; RWD is not as quick or powerful as the dual-motor setup.
