Hyundai Ioniq 5

Re new ota update.

Dammed thing installs and then said some files are missing and reverts to older version. Have used 2 new sd cards and different PC's with same result. I wouldn't mind so much but it veryfies it all before hand...

Did you sign a contract?

I agree, information and the if, buts and maybes from the dealers has been disappointing. I have called the dealer and put points to him that I've learned on here which he knew nothing about only to call back later and verify that yes there might be delays till 2023, but then again maybe not and I might get in in July...this has been going on since April, our original date since placing deposit in Jan.

My understanding is that paying a deposit constitutes entering into a contract. I am not a lawyer though!

The citizens information website seems to confirm this.

Same. Just had a call 100% confirming. Platinum in January. To be very fair, dealer said they'd honour the price agreed for the Prem Plus as well as the value of my trade in, even though it'll be 12 months older than the valuation. I'm happy with that. Much better service than Audi.

Just hope the SEAI grant stays at 60!

I have also been now told that my order is being cancelled. I have been told however that I will have to pay more (Exec Plus 58 kWh) but that prices won’t be known until Nov. Seems very unfair that the original agreed price (on which deposit was paid back in March) is not being honoured.

The missus is on her way to Bantry from west Co Wexford. 58kWh Executive. Charging atm at Frankfield Cork, impressed with only 33% of battery used. She will probably charge to 90% or so, will have plenty then for local driving over next few days then top up in Cork again on return. (Hotel has no charging facilities).

Great road for efficiency, she says she was driving at speed limit where possible, but a good few slow bits as well. Temp ideal and a tail wind. Could comfortably have gone the whole way to Bantry without charging.

Keep a watch out for a WX reg white Ioniq 5 if in Bantry area. 😉

Really interested to see the posts about range experience. I have had a 58kWh for 5 months and 6,000km+ of driving and have been tracking efficiency of different types of trips over the last 2,000km (last 5 weeks), Dublin based. Almost all of the driving has been in eco mode, HDA on motorways / A roads and i-pedal otherwise ... i.e. efficient driving. What I have learned is that efficiency is massively dependant on speed as follows (all in the 14-19deg C, so "summer" driving):

50km/h average: 15.2kWh/100km, so ~370km range for local runs / A roads, small amount of motorway

70 to 80 km/h average: 16.2 to 17.4 so ~330 to 350 range for long trips on mostly A roads and say a third motorway

90 to 100km/h average: 19.1 to 20.3, so 290 to 300 range for mostly motorway but keeping speeds say to 110km/h when on motorway

110km/h average: 25.2, so 230km range if journey is almost exclusively motorway and you stick exactly to speed limits (did this journey yesterday to test the range under pressure, 140km distance)

14.2kWh/100km @66km/h from eagerv is not something I have seen myself ... tailwind and all that!

I expect winter driving to be at 20 to 25km below that, but will test when the weather arrives

Has anyone actually received confirmation of a delivery in July? Loads of mentions of cancellations but are any cars actually coming in?

I know some people have been struggling to get dealers to take orders, but Bolands Wexford have 11 or 12 due to arrive on the ground in December/January. They've been taking orders since the end of May for this stock. Might be useful to some people if they aren't fussy about colours etc.

I think its at least four Platinums, four Premium LE and three Executive Plus. Most seem to have the 77kwh battery with at least one 58. Salesman said that four of these have been booked already. I have some details on colours etc if anyone wants more info, but i'm sure the sales guys there will be happy to share the details anyway.

I've an order in with Mooney's in Dublin for delivery in Jan, 58kw/h Exec Plus. Wondering if I should be getting the 77kw/h one now instead seeing as that seems to be what most people are buying. Is there much benefit in the bigger battery if Home to Work is only 25km one way?

Ah great! I did the same with ABRP between my house and the parents on the other side of the country, this would be the longest trip I would do most often and I can get door to door without stopping so I think I should be fine. I think I just have FOMO.

Just got the expected bad news. Order cancelled. All apologies, the dealer said he has never seen something like this happen. He said he will call back later in the week to see what they can honour but nothing until January

Were they at least able to give any indication on what could be available in Jan or would that be too long a wait?

The dealers already know the allocations for Ireland.. all cars are available to order on the Hyundai system. My 2023 order for my cancelled July order was placed last week. All people with cancelled orders have first preference on a 2023 order.
