With an overall Carivo score of 8.2/10, the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 earns a Recommended rating among the evs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Technology at 8.9/10, while Performance at 7.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability comes in at 8.0/10 in our assessment — above the middle of the pack for this class, though not flawless. Safety is a strength too — 8.7/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.3/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology scores 8.9/10 — one of the stronger tech packages in the segment. Expect a responsive infotainment system, broad smartphone integration, and a solid suite of driver-assistance features.
Priced from $42,050–$53,206, 114 MPG, seating 5, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 sits in the mid-market bracket of the ev segment. The 8.4/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this ev delivers more than most of the class. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Bottom line: Think of the 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
