Just for clarification HDA2 is not just the lane change assist feature but also would mean no forward/side radar sensors meaning no ability for the car to automatically avoid a lane encroaching vehicle and would also mean no forward cross traffic assist in the safety suite. This is a pretty raw deal deal considering you can still get this on the much less expensive Ioniq 5. Not entirely sure if the software logic is significantly different from HDA1 to HDA 2. I guess they figure we will be too captivated by the rotating dash orb to notice this omission.
That explanation would be reasonable if they actually stopped equipping North American Ioniq 5s and every other Genesis model with HDA2 and the appropriate side sensors.
It probably should not be but it seems like the suggestion is be satisfied receiving less for more money. That's up to the individual purchaser to decide if its a deal breaker.
Check the window stickers of any IQ5 or EV6 or Genesis models on dealer's lots today. None of them mention HDA 2. All silently removed.
umm.... source?
go to any kia/hyundai dealer's website with available inventory. You can click on the window stickers for the cars they have on the lot.
The Ioniq 5 I took delivery 3 weeks ago has HDA2, both the US and Canadian web sites continue to indicate that HDA2 is a standard feature on the limited and ultimate trims. I found an Limited with a serial built well before mine , the window sticker does not list HDA it but it just makes me suspicious the sticker is not accurate depiction of its actual availability.
Yep, especially since the Ioniq 5 US website still prominently lists it in the specifications for SEL/Limited trims:
That's interesting. Here's an example of a Genesis GV80 with window sticker saying HDA 2 removed.

It does seem weird but in the end we are faced with limited availability to all EVs and I think Hyundai knows this. I suspect they feel they will sell every single GV60 available for the next couple of years regardless if we like the price/options or not. I was originally going to "upgrade" my Ioniq 5 to a GV60 performance when it became available. Now I am not so sure as it seems all I would gain is leather seating, adaptive suspension, little more power, party trick orb, biometrics, B+O stereo over my Bose system and loose HDA2. It really does not feel like much of an upgrade for the extra 25K Canadian$ after incentives and taxes.
My biggest gripe with no HDA2 is in the day to day use of SCC. Regular SCC with just the front radar doesn't react fast enough to ppl cutting you off in front of you and the car reacts too late and jams on the brakes. With HDA2's 2 corner radars, it's able to see and anticipate cars pulling into your lane much earlier and therefore makes the SCC experience smoother and more human like.
