2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Finally Gets a Rear Windshield Wiper

It took nearly half an hour on an ice lake to realize we could see behind ourselves in the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N prototype. That may not seem extraordinary, but considering every Ioniq 5 thus far lacked a rear windshield wiper—a constant point of frustration for any reviewer who lives where there's weather—it's a bigger deal than you might think.

Hyundai declined to confirm anything on the record, but sources close to Hyundai have told us that the Ioniq 5 lineup will finally receive a rear windshield wiper. It's unclear if it will be standard or an option, but it'll be available, and that's what matters.
