Given the UK price, how much you think the car should sell for here?

This is not the next model Ioniq - this is a whole different car - the regular Ioniq is still being manufactured.

Just remember that UK price has included in it the dealer mark up and all the relevant taxes thats comes with buy a new car.


T&T has ZERO taxes on these vehicles.

But greedy dealers

Is this for the Ionic 5? The US assembled 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is $41,450 - 56,500 MSRP. US MSRP does not include any sales taxes or incentives. It seems that the UK RRP is close to the US price.

so i saw the service interval for 'central/south america' as every 12 months or 10,000 km for the hybrid.

does anyone have any insight if this applies to trinidad/caribbean?

[Les Bain]

Any tuners who own, or knows someone who owns the fully electric Ioniq? What has the experience been like?

Just bought a preowned 2019 Ioniq from massy - they told me to service every 5000 km. but it may not be that i have to do everything at the 5000 mark, only certain things.

[jhonnieblue]

I won't advise that, I had one, serviced every 12,000 to 15000 and took the car back to massy in Diego to do an inspection when I sold it.

The maintenance supervisor had the techs run thru everything on the car and couldn't find a sticker issue other than saying maybe front tires could be changed due to wear. Thet were shocked at how there was literally nothing wrong.

Fyi car has over 150,000 km.

Don't take that chain up with 5k services

[redmanjp]

so no oil change or anything after 5000km?

also i'm wondering if the battery warranty requires a certain interval.

[jhonnieblue]

Oil change between 12000 to 15000.

Battery warrtis actually governed by Hyundai and not massy. There is nothing you can do to actually ensure the condition of the battery via maintenance. If massy says otherwise just get the email of the international Hyundai center, copy the maintenance manager at massy and send a nicely worded summary. You will see how fast it gets resolved.

Talking from exp with massy

[st7]

Massy honours the battery warranty once you service with them in the first 3 yrs. this is what i was told when i got mine anyway.

thanks for the info johnnie. one question... how many months did it take you to reach 12-15000k before u serviced?

Was doing about 150km a day going la Brea at the time so say maybe 4-5 months to 12k depending.

Never recalled ever seeing a battery fan listed as a cleaning item on any service breakdown by massy

[redmanjp]

i thought that is essential as heat is a battery killer

[redmanjp]

Hey, anyone know how to get the doors to auto lock when the key is away? yuh know just in case u forget to lock it wit the keyfob (which my mom often does) ?

[shaneelal]

[aaron17]

well look how me aint buying ah hybrid

[timothymcdavid]

Saw this video lastnight was kinda horrified ... Owner is lucky the car wasnt a total loss real lucky ... so where his neighbours ... how come the warranty work wasnt done?

[redmanjp]

So Im now coming up on 5000km and wondering if to go for another service or wait till 10000km.
Im seeing in my manual for severe conditions and if u are in central and south america the interval for changing oil and oil filter is 5000km or 6 months (ouside of that is 7500km or same 6 months)

For normal conditions

So it seems Massy assuming severe conditions as stated in the 2nd pic. I work on a 10-7 shift so i avoid both morning and afternoon rush hr- less traffic on mornings and even less during the night time so i would say i should be following normal conditions.

Oil change between 12000 to 15000.

[solarkh]

Massy bringing this in?

[gastly369]

Massy bringing this in?

Just the regular version not the N as far as I know
Famz has one very very nice vehicle

[Les Bain]

Saw probably the same one twice on the road already in the east. I really like the design.
Is the ICE /gear emulation and fake engine noise available on the normal 5 or is it exclusive to the 5N? Also, is it one engine noise or is there an engine noise gallery with options?

I try to service every 10,000km. I mostly do highway driving. And I change transmission fluid every year and DCT fluid twice for the year.

[redmanjp]

i'm reaching 7500km so i might go in for servicing in a few days.

That 5N is cool!

[mazdatt]

Can you all recommend where I can go in San Fernando to change the clutch actuator fluid?

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Can you all recommend where I can go in San Fernando to change the clutch actuator fluid?

Massy ACL Marabella

Thnx, was actually looking for a place outside of Massy.

Getting an occasional steering wheel light coming on on the dash today (2019 Ioniq Hybrid)- steering wheel was a little harder to turn for a half a minute while the light was on- then it went off and it operated normal.

[Les Bain]

Is it that alone or are other lights coming on?

Some years ago my parking brake light started flickering while I was driving. Car lost drive power later that day even though the engine was running. Then it ran a full year no problem until the dash lights started flickering again. Turns out was the alternator.

If it really is the alternator you'd notice your wipers not as fast on the fastest setting, your wing mirrors lethargically fold out/in and your windows lazily roll up/down.

[redmanjp]

a traction control light was on this morning as well - pressing the traction control on/off button wasn't clearing it but it went away on its own.

i call massy and they said to check out Automotive Components in Arima tomorrow.
