Imagine if this actually came out and for the next I5N. They’re halfway there with simulating the E-shift and sounds.
Wow imaging our I5N with a clutch pedal and an actual manual shifter…. 🤤
The front two are Weathertech, the back is Hyundai OEM. They are about 18 months old.
Pickup in NJ zip is 07876, or I can meet locally.

My head unit has been "In progress" for over a week now, and the new update isn't installing when the vehicle is turned off. The vehicle has been off for several hours multiple times over the last week+, both charging and not charging, but the update never applies. I have tried to download the update from the Windows Navigation Update software, but that version is not available to download in the updater.
Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue? Has anyone had this issue? I searched the subreddit and google and didn't find anything.
I got my smart key card(key fob) programmed last month and its great, but I was having some issues starting the car with it. I can lock/unlock but it wasn't getting detected inside the car.
I thought maybe I damaged it or something went wrong with programming. Come to find out that my phone was getting in the way and once I deleted it from the car, the key card started to work normally.
If you are not aware of this device, it's basically your key fob but fits in your wallet.
And I want to share my experience.
Overall, fantastic - no notes!

JK. No complaints, actually. 10/10 would and will do again!
It was my first significant trip since leasing in March of last year. A friend and I drove from Atlanta, GA to Indianapolis, IN over the course of a long weekend. It was about 550 miles each way with a couple trips in and out of the city to meet up with friends and family.
My charging stops were in Dalton, GA (replaced by the obligatory Buc-ee's stop in Calhoun on the way home), Manchester, TN, Bowling Green, KY, Seymour, IN (replaced by a stop south of Louisville, KY on the return trip), and a bonus charge in Fishers, IN. I did not plug in at our destination, only used fast chargers and as many leftover Chargepoint credits as I could (took those over the L2 charger).
We left with an odometer around 5800, and it's currently sitting just shy of 7000. I had to replace a tire two weeks ago after hitting a pothole, but otherwise haven't taken it in for maintenance yet.
Overall, though, my first trip in an EV and I loved every minute. I didn't notice if the car was loud because of the larger tires, but damn, Indy is awful for potholes and it sure hurt once we got there.
On the drive up though, each leg was about 90 minutes to 2 hours which really made this trip feel faster than any other road trip of similar length (I'd made this trip twice previously in ICE cars). The breaks were perfectly timed for bathroom breaks or the need to stand up and stretch. The forced breaks were really appreciated and I didn't feel annoyed by them at all. I think at each stop, we had enough time to walk over to the nearest bathroom and back before we were at nearly 80%, then we chatted outside for a few minutes before it was time to wrap up and hit the road again. On average, maybe 16 minutes per stop. The only exceptions were having lunch at the Stingray Grill (National Corvette Museum, lol) in KY up and back, and the hotel the car navigated to in Seymour on the way up (we just stood up for a minute, sat back down for the remaining ~12 since it was our last stop before reaching our destination).
OH, YEAH. I USED THE IN-CAR NAVIGATION FOR EVERYTHING*
(*I used the app to set the address and selected 150-350 kW + everything except Tesla chargers because I didn't want to deal with the adapter.)
Granted, I'm a planner, and I for sure used ABetterRoutePlanner to see my route ahead of time, but I literally plugged in our destination address* and it automatically selected every single stop ABRP chose along the way. I couldn't have asked for a more seamless experience! The only exception was forcing it to stop at Buc-ee's on the way home, which brought me down to, like, 10% battery instead of my preferred 15-20%.
Overall, 10/10 would recommend. It was a lot of fun. I will probably be swapping to a Limited at the end of my lease, but this car is awesome!
And now that the trip is done, gonna jinx myself and put out into the universe: 7k miles and no ICCU issue. *flips birds*
Feel free to ask any clarifiers if you've got 'em.

When will Hyundai let us upload our own sounds for the simulated engine? I’d want mine to either make some funny noise or sound like a 15k rpm monster.
(I don’t own an Ioniq 5 N unfortunately)
Abyss Black Pearl w/ XPEL Stealth Stain PPF and XPEL Fusion Ultimate Ceramic on top.
A great turnout over at the aerospace museum. This is real car culture.
I'm thinking of getting my bumper covered with ppf, or wrapped. Has anyone wrapped their front bumper and if so what color did you do? I would love pics if you have any
I am an owner who enjoys motorsports such as circuits, drifts, and autocross with the Ioniq 5N.
Even though I was enjoying 5N, GR86 suddenly caught my eye. The biggest advantage is that the appearance from the low and small body is beautiful. In addition, there are incidental factors such as low tire prices. The lightweight, manual, and coupe design also feel like a different charm compared to the Ioniq 5N.
However, I'm also worried that I might quickly get tired of the frustration from the low output.
If anyone has owned a GR86, please let me know how it differs from the Ioniq 5N.
I'm currently waiting after signing a contract for GR86, so please help me make a wise choice!
Regardless of the GR86 shipment, we will continue to take the 5N!
It's surprisingly easy, the wheel comes fully built, nothing to swap over except the airbag
.....and if you look really closely at the end, you can see the exact moment when I put a crease into the airbag. Don't press too hard when reinstalling it.
I'm so confused by this. I've had a few situations where dealerships were not interested in much negotiating and their car has been on the lot for over a year. This car overall seems to sell like molasses but there's no budging. What gives? Anyone have experience with dealerships on this car? Do they think someone is eventually going to come along and pay sticker price or what?
Ive driven the Ioniq 5N twice in the UK and have one on order.
One thing i noticed on the ones i drove was that there were no external sounds at all, even though it was switched on in the infotainment screen.
Is this disabled in the UK?
Unbelievable how complicated this is...there is conflicting information on what I need so just asking the question bluntly:
I have a Tesla Wall Charger. I want to buy a 2025 Ioniq 5N.
a) Am I correct in assuming that this car does NOT have a NACS charge port?
b) If so, what do I need to buy to charge my car with my Tesla Wall Charger?
Answers I have so far:
This is maddening. I'm not convinced the car is ever going to tell me as I'm close to 12k miles now and coming up on a year. Do any UK drivers actually have a document with a specified service interval (time, mileage, anything really!) on it?
Thank you kindly in advance!
I've seen a couple of these start to pop up: https://www.glakeshyundaiofdublin.com/new/Hyundai/2026-Hyundai-IONIQ-5-N-8fdb2d45ac18269702d9db8bbe563843.htm
VINs decode to 2026 Ioniq 5 N, they also have stock numbers. It's a few dealers.
Anybody know if they are actually in the country yet? I'm looking to pick up a 2025 on lease and I want to hammer some of these dealers with super old inventory (some over a year on the lot) with the fact that as soon as the 2026s start becoming available their inventory is going to be obviously old and even harder to move.
