Looking at a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL (VIN: KM8KN4AE6NU066348) with a California Lemon Law Buyback title. Here are the documented facts straight from the CARFAX and official CA Buyback Notice:

1. 08/31/2023 @ 20,594 miles: "No start or hard start condition checked"
2. 08/03/2024 @ 34,339 miles: "Fuse(s) replaced"
3. 07/28/2025 @ 37,511 miles: Hyundai Motor America reacquires the vehicle
4. 04/27/2026: "Removed and replaced EV battery, reprogrammed as necessary, electrical system checked, fuse(s) replaced"
5. 05/06/2026: "Vehicle inspected and found to meet manufacturer specifications"
6. Title branded: "Manufacturer Buyback or Lemon — Reported by DMV"
7. "This vehicle is not eligible for the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee"
8. Basic warranty: "Estimated to have expired"
9. Defect description on official buyback notice: "Battery/charging concerns"

This would be my first buyback purchase ever, but at 37k miles it seems like my best option. It is priced at $19.5k, but I am asking for a significant discount.

For financial reasons, I'm leasing my car. I drove a used ioniq 5 limited and that was that! My entire family was in love. I have spent 2 fruitless weeks trying to track one down. I found one, and they wanted to charge hundreds of dollars more than what it is going for.

I'm bummed but realistic. Our family needs a car now. I hope this isn't against the rules, but has anyone driven a Kia EV6 and, if so, does it at all resemble the Ioniq 5? Is it an acceptable replacement in your opinion? We (especially my daughter!) love the sliding console, the fact it opens up on both sides, we love the little footrest that comes out so you can relax while you charge up, the panoramic roof, its size for a family of 3, the way it's so zippy. Etc. I'm realizing I may have to lease something else for 2 years and then come back to this one.

Can anyone help? I adore this car but can't pay what dealers are asking "because they're so scarce " Thanks!

I’m based in NC/USA and seriously considering buying a used Ioniq5 for use as a sole household vehicle. We are a couple with one work from home and one in office with a 30 mile daily RT commute. This would be our first EV purchase.

We’ve done research for several months. Genuinely conflicted between strong overall reviews and high number of concerns with ICCU issues and other reliability questions. But we are test driving and researching several 2024 SEL models this week based on sense that warranty/mileage/options/price are in our sweet spot. We are not considering a new purchase or lease at this time.

Here for all advice and recommendations. If we do go forward I expect we will also pay to have a Level 2 charger installed at home though we also have nearby option for Level 3—advice on this would be great too.

I see a lot of posts here from people in places where it gets cold. I'm wondering if there is hot-climate-specific advice for an Ioniq in the desert. I'll be picking up a 26 Limited next week and plan to get the battery tester and jumper. Anything else I definitely need that's specific to the heat or keeping the car cool?

I have had my ioniq 5 for 4 years now, 146k miles. Thinking of buying a new car in the next year or so, i know for certain i want to stay electric, but not sure if i should stay ioniq. My car is from 2022, no back wiper (most annoying to me) and no outlet under back seat. Has any one here gone from a first year 2022 model to a 2026/7? If i stay i would like to get a higher trim (SEL now). I drive (highway) for 3-4 hours a day. Any recommendations?

I like to keep the air Recirculation function on all the time. However I notice that sometimes when I do climate start, the function turns off. It also turns off whenever I press the Auto AC button and when I turn my car on again after it was previously set to Auto AC and air Recirculation.

Does anyone else have this issue and found a way to keep Air recirculation on while Auto AC is on?

Is this a good deal?

Hi Everyone,

After deliberating over whether to get a used 2024 Limited or a new 2026 Limited, given the current $5,500 incentive, I've decided to go new. I am returning my 2024 SEL lease before October and intend on buying a 2026 Limited RWD. My question to the group is what strategy should I use at the dealership? Find the car in their inventory, email them for an official quote? What has worked for you to get the best price with the least hassle? Have you used a 3rd party service or purchased through Costco or anything like that?

My experience with individual sales people can be hit or miss. I've been straight up lied to to my face by car sales people in the past so I want to get this done in the most efficient manner.

Thanks!

Have turned car on and off again multiple times, yes the media volume is up. Hadn’t changed any settings from when I drove to the gym and was listening to music just fine. Media appears to be playing but no audio output

Thoughts?

I am looking for an ioniq5(2021 model), what to look out for? :) And how is the software in them? I am coming from a Peugeot e-2008, so anything will probably be a step up in the tech game…

Looking at possibly getting a 2022 Ioniq 5 73kw with an advertised 298 range. I know I won't get anywhere near that but was wondering what range could expect on long summer and winter journeys?

I am based in the UK and I don't hang around as enjoy driving and the thought of driving at 65mph to conserve battery doesn't excite me at all.

I have a cooler that comes with a cigarette lighter plug. There’s only usb-c in my 2025. How do I plug in my cooler?

My 2023 I5 SEL with 255/45r20 tires are in need of replacement after only 20k miles and a recent patch due to a nail. 😭 I've been doing research here and various websites. I came across Nokian tires which seem pretty decent and I can get a set of 4 for under $1000. installed which is a great price.

I haven't seen many reviews to get a confident feeling about this choice. They are rated for low resistance. Anybody have experience with these Nokians? Any reduction in range compared to the OEM Michelins? Should they be a longer wear tire as 20k is obviously not good. They are called all-weather, and not all-season which is a bit confusing. I live in an area that gets all seasons including deep snow in Winters.

I should mention while calling around for pricing, some places were sold out on these tires which makes me think they are at least a semi-popular tire. One dealer praised them highly, but that's probably a sales pitch.
