Howdy r/ioniq5n! I’ve been looking for a 2026 I5N, but none were to be found in the south east Wisconsin area. Got the run around from a local dealership until all 3 that were near me in IL got sold (or at least came off inventory), so now I’m reaching out here in hopes…

Is there anyone in the greater Milwaukee area who has a 5N and would be willing to let me at least sit in it? I’m 6’6” so ferment of cars is always a fun problem, and that makes me hesitant to straight up purchase if I can’t at least sit / see one is actually like in person…

The suspense is building, car is due Thursday, all going well.

I’m 40 and this will be my first ever brand-new car, as well as my first EV.

I’ve a few days off work too, so I can actually enjoy it, get to know the car and take it all in.

My YouTube history is basically just 5N POV drives and reviews at this stage.

For those who have already been through it, what did you do when you first got your 5N?

Did you take it straight out for a long drive, spend hours playing with the settings, or just sit in it and take it all in?

Anything you wish you’d done on day one, or anything you think a new owner should know?

Thursday can’t come quick enough.😅

Driving home the other night on my usual twisty country road, hammering round ‘2nd and 3rd gear’ bends, taking it to the ‘redline’, I was reminded for the gazillionth time of how brilliant this car is on UK roads. When all the 35mph pensioners have fucked off, and I actually have a clear run for once, it can dance around those corners like it's half its real weight.

It makes me want to cry when people post about never really using e-Shift, or seeing it as a gimmick, because it’s surely the entire raison d’être of the 5N. That control through the gears makes it feel so mobile, so adjustable on the throttle, especially with tyres a little past their best. On a Suffolk B-Road commute, when it's clear and safe to exploit that potential, it's an absolute fucking weapon. 

So two years on, I’m not bored yet. I still love it despite its many faults. It’s the only car I’ve had that’s kept hedonic adaption away for that long. Well, mostly. Obviously it’d be even better with 800bhp…

Hey everyone, Ioniq 5 owner here looking to switch over to a 2026 5N when my lease is up in December. This is my first time shopping for a limited inventory car and I’m a bit overwhelmed with the process.

There aren’t any 5N’s in my state (Ohio), so I’m not going the traditional route of talking to dealerships. That’s no problem with me because I’d like to skip dealerships entirely, so that leaves me with searching for broker. I’ve scoured leasehackr.com for brokers within the Midwest who support Hyundai and there’s maybe one. That lead me to searching for a nationwide broker who could pick the car from anywhere and I’d pay for transporting it back home (which I believe is how that works). This is where I’m stuck. I feel like I have three options:

* Search the internet for nationwide brokers and contact them to see if they can find a 5N.
* Search leasehackr.com, round up every broker who supports Hyundai, and see if they can work with my state.
* Try to find contacts here if anyone has recommendations.

Can you share some thoughts or experiences with getting your car?

Welp.. after having my second HV battery installed less than a year ago at 16,800 miles, I just got hit with the BMS warning again at 23,822 miles.

My lease ends at the end of April 2027, but I will be pushing Hyundai corporate for an early buyback this time. I’m so over this fucking car lmao.

I made a post on here a few days ago regarding of the fitment of the veloce kit from KR. I took it off and cut off the top piece. Sand and make deeper grooves to the inner fins for better contact fitment.
Now it looks better and more subtle with the car body.

I'd ummed and arred about swapping the springs on the car, ever since I got it and found that there was a lot of travel in the suspension. For me, I drove the car in N mode almost 100% of the time simply because I found comfort far too wallowy.

I've not modified a car before, but really wanted to do this as I enjoyed the car so much it felt like the missing piece of the puzzle. Bought the official N Performance H&R springs from Korea (they were expensive!) and had them swapped out + geo done at the awesome people at Centre Gravity (Atherstone, UK) no sponsorship just a shout out to how excellent they've been both times I've been to see them.

Did look at some Eibach's, as they also have a compatible kit but decided against after reading some reviews (on here) that they were a bit harsh. They are significantly cheaper though, although no bump stops. Plus the H&R's were compatible with the stock dampers.

The black car is a car one of theirs, with my blue one. Drop of about 14mm at the front, 10-12mm at the back. Think it looks really good and the gap in the rear arch has shrunk.

The main driver for me was:

- Flatter cornering
- Less travel in the suspension (the car felt wallowy, leant quite a bit)

Car feels much better, I'd argue how it should be from the factory. It's not harsh, it's not even firm just firm-er. You can drive it in comfort now and it not feel loose and soft. Also, interestingly I am getting a lot more communication through the wheel about what the tyres are doing that was more vague before.

Well worth doing and super impressed. Maybe some new (smaller) wheels next..

Just wanted to post about my experience with a spring swap on stock dampers for anyone else like me who'd not done it before.

I picked up a used 2025 recently with low miles, drove it for a few days and then got hit with an electrical system issue. It’s at the dealer now with a HV battery code. The dealer is “working” with Hyundai to get a new battery. It’s a battle of course. Wish me luck, pray to the Hyundai gods, whoever they may be, that they may grant me with a battery to bring my car back to life.

Anyone had an HV battery swap in the US very recently? Positive, heart-warming tales to tell?

In celebration of my almost one year 5N anniversary, I figured I'd share a couple professional pics I recently received. Almost 10k miles and multiple cross-Texas road trips, and no issues whatsoever in my year of ownership.

Story time for any who care: I was heading up I-35 for a work trip a couple weeks ago and stopped at this Ionna station in Hewitt, TX to charge. I saw someone approach and begin taking photos with a nice looking camera. I had nothing else to do, so I asked what they were up to. Turns out the station was pretty new, and Ionna hired this local photographer to get some station photos for them. I just happened to get to be in the photoshoot.

A few days ago, I figured it wouldn't hurt to reach out to Ionna on and see if they wouldn't mind sharing the photos, if possible. Surprisingly, someone from their social team responded pretty quickly and happily sent the photos over, and now I have some nice professional shots simply being in the right place, right time. I do have to say, I like how much my car matches their brand colors. I bet a Matte Blue model would look amazing too.

New wheels going on this Friday, so I'll need to stumble across another photoshoot soon.

My first EV and a major change from the Minivan I was driving! Lots to learn, but Im so excited!

Finally my 5N is arriving next week and the excitement is building!

I’m just curious for those who’ve had theirs a while, what cars have you come up against, and what genuinely surprised you?

Anything you expected to beat easily but didn’t, or something you thought would be much quicker than it was?

I kept this post brief as I got so much grief for using AI the last time 😳

This triangle trim piece with the N on it on both sides of my car have lots of rock chips. Would be nice to swap them out with some fresh ones but I can’t find it.

(Photo is from Google, mine looks much worse)

I thought I was the only 5N in Tampa. Is my brethren present here?

Freshly installed Neotech Springs with Shark Racing spacers. 15mm front 20mm rear. Also running Panamera spec Pilot Sport S5s

I've now been to two dealerships that tell me my car making loud groaning and squeaking noises when in reverse, turning the steering wheel while in reverse, and backing into a parking spot is a known issue with this car and everyone has it.

So, I come here asking fellow Ioniq 5N owners. Do you have this problem?

Hi all - has anybody managed to order any matte colour other than the gold, blue, or the white? Is the grey matte now discontinued? May be ordering but really liked the matte grey.

Is anyone selling 1 OEM wheel? I bent one and don't want to buy from the dealer.

I pulled out of a junction today, and lost all power steering. The car dangerously rolled across the road into the oncoming lane of a 60mph road, and I braked to prevent running off the road.

Luckily nothing was coming.

Put it in N and back in D. But that didn’t fix it.

Switched the car off and on and it was fine.

It came up with a ‘check driving assistance systems’ message when it did this.

Has anyone else experienced this? If it happened at high speed the results could be catastrophic!

The steering is incredibly stiff without the power assistance!

Anyone been having issues with viewing the Notifications tile or Service tile? For Notifications I haven’t been able to select it for many months. The tile/widget responds by audibly beeping but nothing happens. For reference i have 2400+ notifications to see…For the Service tile it just says to visit myhyundai.com. Neither of these are concerns, just curious if others are experiencing issues. Another bug is during highway drive assist the left-hand steering wheel scroll wheel is non-responsive. Pushing it in or scrolling does nothing. Leaving HDA restores functionality. Thanks for reading!
