A future sporty version of the popular Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV hatchback hints that a fix is already on the way.
. As such, myself and other judges perhaps didn't fully consider the absent rear windshield wiper when we awarded the Ioniq 5 our Golden Calipers., California has seen record-breaking rain—and subsequently, I've seen troublingly little out of the electric crossover's rear windshield.
Water sticks like glue to the Ioniq 5's rearmost glass, and basically nothing but elbow grease or beaming sunshine clears it off. Even at highway speeds, droplets collected there sit unperturbed, obstructing visibility. Just check out these photos.It's an unfortunate outcome of how aerodynamically efficient Hyundai made the Ioniq 5. The spoiler separates airflow very well, minimizing drag-increasing vortices that would otherwise swirl around the rear.
Hyundai told us that aesthetic preferences and expected real-world airflow performance were factors in not installing a rear wiper in the first place. But after additional research and customer feedback, the automaker recognized how this hardware could enhance safety and the overall driving experience.If or when a rear wiper will become available, or come to the North American market at all, is still unclear as the view behind on a wet day.
