The lease on my #Ioniq5 EV is up this summer, and I'm thinking about trading in for the latest model. But the battery and assembly issues that I've seen on the 2025 models assembled in the US have me worried.

I love this car, but the residual on my lease is higher than the going used price (by about 10k) and I would really like actual roof rails, a rear windshield wiper, and some updated features like integrated wireless android auto.

Has anyone heard of issues on the 2026 models?
