2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5: Here's what we still like, here's what annoys us
Summary
Ars Technica revisits the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5 to assess whether it still holds up. The AWD Limited with an 84 kWh pack benefits from 800 V architecture and a switch to the NACS charging port, but shows range tradeoffs versus the rear-drive version. The review highlights practical features like a blind-spot monitor, but criticizes the climate controls and notes past ICCU reliability concerns that Hyundai now covers under an extended warranty, with various trim options discussed.
