ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq?
The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 enters the federal database without a crash-performance benchmark, as NHTSA has not tested this model year nor are there crash-tested sibling years. Its Safety Index rating of "Moderate" reflects a record that is neither the lightest nor the heaviest among four-year-old vehicles. The complaint record shows a distinct pattern: 299 of 397 total reports concern the Electrical System. Allegations related to Fuel and Propulsion and the Power Train further underscore issues on the electrical and propulsion side. The three recall campaigns are concentrated in two areas: electrical system battery concerns affecting multiple Hyundai and Genesis electric platforms, and a parking brake software fault specific to 2022 Ioniq 5 units.
