2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Safety and Reliability

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 has excellent safety ratings and managed to score the IIHS' Top Safety Pick+ rating for 2022. The 2023 model gets top scores of Good for all crash tests, although base models fare a little worse without the projector headlights.

The NHTSA also ranks the electric crossover highly, awarding the AWD model a maximum score of five stars overall, and full marks for all but frontal crash tests where it scores four out of five. Curiously, the RWD variant is yet to receive a comprehensive evaluation.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 safety is taken care of by a host of passive and active safety features. Minor parking lot accidents should be mitigated by the standard rearview monitor with parking guidance and rear park distance control. SEL models build on this with front-mounted parking sensors, while the Limited receives reverse parking collision avoidance and the gimmicky remote smart parking assist feature.

On the road, you'll be kept safe by standard forward collision avoidance, lane-keep and blind-spot assist, a driver attention warning system, rear cross-traffic assist, and a safe exit assist. Buyers will also appreciate the standard seatbelt reminder and a rear occupant alert. Upgrade to the Limited model if you want all the best safety features, as the priciest model of the bunch receives a blind-spot view monitor, a surround-view monitor, a head-up display, and rain-sensing wipers. While all models receive smart cruise control (with stop-and-go capabilities), the SE has to make do with HDA I; SEL and Limited models gain the more advanced HDA II system.

If somehow, you still end up in a ditch, the aforementioned safety rating and seven airbags should keep you protected.

J.D Power is yet to rate the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 reliability, but the 2022 model received a score of 73/100 for quality and reliability. While that's not brilliant, it's worth noting the Mustang Mach-E received an identical score. However, the Kia EV6 trumps both with a final score of 80/100.

At the time of writing, the 2023 Ioniq 5 had no recalls. However, MY2022 was recalled over a software error in the shifter control unit that could cause the vehicle to roll away. Should you find a problem with your electric crossover, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 warranty is comprehensive. The vehicle itself is covered by a five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, while the hybrid/electric battery and limited powertrain warranty are capped at 10 years/100,000 miles. Customers also receive a seven-year/unlimited mileage anti-perforation warranty, along with five years/unlimited mileage 24/7 roadside assistance.
