2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a compact electric SUV starting around $35,000 to $37,000, rated for up to 245 miles with the 63-kWh battery and about 290 miles with the 84-kWh battery. No federal recalls or NHTSA complaints are on file yet, so the risk to weigh is the charging-unit (ICCU) failure that hit earlier Ioniq 5s.

Range, battery and price on the 2027 Ioniq 5
MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) says entry-level versions use a 63-kWh battery good for up to 245 miles, while most models get an 84-kWh battery providing approximately 290 miles with 19-inch wheels, 269 miles with 20-inch wheels and 259 miles for the XRT variant. That is the trade to understand before you pick a trim: the bigger wheels cost about 20 miles of range, and the off-road-styled XRT costs about 30. The same review calls fast charging a strength on road trips but says range on dual-motor models is not excellent.
On price, CarBuzz (opens in a new tab) lists the SE Standard Range RWD at a $35,250 MSRP and the SEL RWD at $40,200, and MotorTrend puts the starting price at around $37,000 for the SE Standard Range. MotorTrend's pick is the SEL, which is also where a wireless device charging pad stops being an option, since it is added above that trim. CarBuzz's average asking price for early 2027 listings is $39,449 across 205 marketplace listings.
Recalls and problems: what to check on an Ioniq 5
NHTSA shows no recalls and no owner complaints for the 2027 model year at this point, which reflects how few have been driven rather than a clean record. The family history is the useful guide. EVSeekers (opens in a new tab) calls the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) the Ioniq 5's headline reliability weak point: it can fail and leave the car without drive power, and it is tied to two federal recalls, one of which covered more than 145,000 vehicles across Hyundai, Genesis and Kia's shared E-GMP platform. The site adds that Hyundai says every Ioniq 5 built after April 2024 uses a revised ICCU design and that complaint volume is lower on 2024 to 2026 models, though 2026 recalls show the issue is not fully closed.
Outside the ICCU, EVSeekers says most problems are software glitches and a separate 12-volt battery drain complaint, plus recalls for suspension bolts, seat belts and instrument displays. Recharged (opens in a new tab) warns not to confuse an ICCU or 12-volt fault with deterioration of the large traction battery, and advises checking the VIN's recall status and testing both charging and cabin systems before buying. For a 2027 that is bought new, the practical step is to confirm at delivery that the ICCU software and hardware are the current revision.
What the 2027 Ioniq 5 costs to own
The EPA rates the 2027 Ioniq 5 at 94 to 115 MPGe combined, with fuel cost estimated at $650 to $800 a year on fueleconomy.gov (opens in a new tab), close to the other compact electric SUVs this year. The real cost is depreciation: CarEdge (opens in a new tab) projects a 60 percent loss over five years, leaving a five-year resale value of about $22,049 against a $54,862 selling price when new, and a three-year depreciation cost of $7,055. That projection covers the Ioniq 5 line as a whole rather than the 2027 alone, but it argues for leasing or buying a low-mileage year-old car over paying full price.
2027 Ioniq 5 against the Model Y and Kia EV3
On the EPA's numbers the 2027 Tesla Model Y rates 114 MPGe combined at $700 a year, the Kia EV3 103 to 117 MPGe at $650 to $750, and the Subaru Trailseeker 114 to 117 MPGe at $650 to $700. The Ioniq 5's 94 to 115 MPGe range means its least efficient version trails all three, so check the exact configuration's rating on fueleconomy.gov before you order. Where it earns its place is the 800-volt platform, which iamabiker (opens in a new tab) describes as the first from a mainstream maker, and the fast charging MotorTrend praises.

Record summary
What to know first
Output and range vary sharply by trim: Standard Range is the smaller-battery entry point, XRT is the off-road-lifted branch, and N is a dedicated 641-horsepower performance variant.
Model-year note
The XRT and N are both new-for-2025 additions that carry forward, and their output, ground clearance and range figures do not apply to the mainstream SE, SEL and Limited trims. The 2027 model is a U.S. carryover with the same trim names and count (Hyundai restructured the Ioniq 5 lineup for the Korean and European markets only). U.S. 2027 changes: the base price rises $250 to $35,250, roof rails become standard on SEL and above (previously XRT and Limited only), HomeLink becomes Limited-exclusive, and the cargo cover moves from included to an accessory.
