Window Tinting the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6
Hyundai's retro-futuristic Ioniq 5 and sleek Ioniq 6 are turning heads everywhere. Here's how to enhance and protect them with professional window tinting.
Unique Glass Considerations
Ioniq 5:
- Large Vision Roof (optional) - massive glass panel
- Parametric pixel-style design elements near windows
- Wide rear glass area
- Unique window shapes require custom cutting
Ioniq 6:
- Streamlined fastback design
- Large rear glass panel
- Curved window profiles
- Aerodynamic considerations
Recommended Tint Levels
| Window | Legal Limit | Our Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Front doors | 70% VLT | 70% Ceramic (max heat rejection) |
| Rear doors | Any | 20-35% for privacy/heat |
| Rear glass | Any | 20-35% matching doors |
| Vision Roof | Any | 50-70% for heat rejection |
Vision Roof Tinting (Ioniq 5)
Why tint the Vision Roof:
- Reduces cabin heat significantly
- Blocks UV rays from overhead exposure
- Reduces glare for rear passengers
- Maintains EV efficiency (less A/C load)
Best films for panoramic roof:
- LLumar IRX (90%+ IR rejection)
- 3M Crystalline (high clarity)
- Ceramic IR films in lighter shades
Heat Rejection Priority
EVs benefit significantly from window tint because:
- Reduced A/C load extends range
- Battery thermal management improved
- Cabin pre-conditioning more effective
- Less strain on climate system
Ceramic film is essential - dyed films don't provide enough heat rejection to impact range.
Film Recommendations for Ioniq Models
| Film | VLT Options | IR Rejection | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LLumar CTX | 70%, 50%, 35% | 95% | Budget-conscious |
| LLumar IRX | 70%, 50%, 35% | 97% | Maximum heat rejection |
| 3M Ceramic IR | 70%, 50%, 35% | 95% | Great balance |
Installation Considerations
Ioniq 5 specifics:
- Pixel pattern near A-pillar requires careful trimming
- Large glass panels need seamless installation
- Vision Roof edges must be perfectly sealed
Ioniq 6 specifics:
- Curved glass requires experienced installers
- Rear fastback window is single large piece
- Aerodynamic shape—film edges must be invisible
Tinting Cost for Ioniq Models
| Package | Coverage | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Front only | 2 front windows | $150-250 |
| Standard | All side windows | $350-500 |
| Complete | All windows + roof | $600-850 |
