ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5?
The 2024 Ioniq 5 marks a clear step forward in MotorCaliber's Safety Index, moving from 81/100 in 2023 to 86/100 this year, a five-point gain that keeps the vehicle in the Strong band but pushes it meaningfully higher within that range. The crash protection sub-score of 65 out of 70 is the backbone of that index, anchored by the NHTSA overall 5-star result and the clean 5-star side and rollover scores. The frontal rating of 4 stars is the single restraint on the crash protection ceiling. The avoidance tech sub-score of 5 out of 10 reflects a mixed standard-versus-optional equipment picture: forward collision warning is listed as both standard and optional depending on trim, while lane departure warning and electronic stability control are fully standard. The defect record sub-score of 16 out of 20 accounts for the two active electrical system recall campaigns, both of which involve battery-related concerns across a wide multi-model group. The concentration of owner-reported complaints in the Electrical System, representing 173 of 214 total unverified allegations, is consistent with those recall themes and warrants attention during any pre-purchase review.
