Hyundai IONIQ 5 v Kia EV6 review - which is best?!

Need help buying your next car? Click the following link and my team and I will help you choose your ideal car at a fair price - from Mat Watson! bit.ly/-Help-Me-carwow
.............................................................
Who’s ready for a South Korean EV head-to-head?!
We’ve brought together the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6 to help show you which is the right car for you. These two share a whole load of parts, but we can assure you there are advantages and disadvantages to each!
Let’s start with a look at how they perform. The Hyundai comes with a choice of two battery packs, a 58kWh and a 73kWh. It’ll give you a range of between 240 - 300 miles, and can deliver power between 170hp - 305hp, depending on which version you choose. Its price starts from £37,000.
Then we have the Kia. It only comes with one choice of battery, a 77kWh, and provides a range between 300 - 328 miles. It also has a higher power output than the Hyundai, delivering between 226hp - 331hp. The starting price is a bit steeper, though, coming in at £41,000.
So… Which is the right one for you? There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat for this all-new electric car group test!

[@zakelwe]

I do dog walks and have to use country lanes, so I put my wing mirrors in to reduce width. The number of times I see large SUVs approaching with their wheels over the white lines in the middle of the road as they cannot judge their width and / or a 23 inch alloy wheel is very expensive to get a scratch out of :) DON'T DAMAGE THE ALLOYS ! Apparently they have a command driving position so they can see over hedges, though how that helps them get their fat car down a narrow road seems to be lost ... PCP paying tossers the lot of them. Duke Nukem wouldn't bother ripping their heads off and shitting down their necks. Probably.

If I have one complaint is that it can be a bit dark on the inside, I have the GT Line RWD and no sunroof and it would be better with it. The styling is gorgeous, I am constantly being stopped by strangers asking what it is and complimenting the styling, I've never had that before ! Handling and ride is amazing, eco mode and it's calm and relaxing, Sport mode turns it into a hooligan. This car really handles twisty B roads well, its great fun and so calm and assured at the same time.

At last... A detailed review that actually covers the differences in the specification. Notably that many features are only available in the top Hyundai and some are still optional extras! Unfortunately, the paint options have been totally overlooked. The Hyundai mainly sells black, white or Silver... Or matt finishes. No red, blue, yellow or green. Also, the fastest Kia is much faster (0-60) than the top fastest Hyundai.

[@InvestBetter.]

8:31 I think the point is if the battery is dead, you can boost the other cars to 10-20 miles, so they can get to a port or to safety. It's not designed to fully charge a vehicle. Just help in an emergency

[@watch2446]

[@izzetkstr]

Exactly would be nice to hear how long 5-10 miles takes, if you can charge 10 miles in 15 minutes that could be really usefull.

[@kirikset]

At 1,5 KW it charges 1,7% of 75 KWh in one hour. Or about 0,4% in 15 minutes. With 300 miles of range it translates to 1,3 miles in 15 minutes or 1 hour and 55 minutes for 10 miles of charge.

[@siraff4461]

@@izzetkstr I would guess around two hours for 10 miles at that charge rate. You would be better off charging the stuck car for 10 mins so it will go into drive then towing it for 5 minutes with it regenning.

Edit - what kirikset said.

[@kaspers.2498]

There's one HUGE reason why I've ordered the Ioniq 5 over the EV6. I get the Ioniq 5 with the premium ventilated front seats AND the heads up display. If you want the heads up display in the EV6 you have to buy the GT version (which is more expensive than the fully-specced Ioniq 5), which doesn't have the following: - Premium ventilated front seats - Only has 6 airbags instead of 7 - Memory function for the drivers seat - Electrically adjusted passenger seat in front - Electrically adjusted passenger seats in the back In the EV6 I'll have to choose between HUD and those things. In the Ioniq 5 I'm getting it all 🤷‍♂️

Is one thing to be aware of in the EV6 is that the front seats don't go down as much as you would expect, and headroom for taller people may be an issue. I got to sit in one recently at the LA Auto Show, and while I'm average height, I was hoping the seat could go lower than it does.

tbf, there are rarely people that transport adults in the back. it's such a small group of people that most buyers don't care about so much legroom. if the kids fit then it's fine for more then 90% of the buyers. it's not your typical transport vehicle like an S class or something.

OK! First, I really enjoyed your review. Really. Loved the accent (I'm not a native English speaker, so I have funny interests :). The tip about the better outside visibility of the Hyundai was great, as for me, it is important, and the tip about pushing forward the driver's head - for me, this is a "no buy" issue. However, what about safety and advanced driving features? Level 2 autonomous drive mode? And - for me - how do those two compare to the Mazda CX-5 2022 (which was the car I was sure I was buying before I learnt about the IONIQ 5)?

[@davidcolin6519]

Best exterior design is the KIA, for me. I agree that the Hyundai I agree that it is going to date quickly. I must say that I simply adore the exterior of the KIA. OTOH, I much prefer the interior of the Ioniq. Firstly, I love the pale colours available for the Hyundai and the spacious feeling. Nor am I impressed with the claustrophobic atmosphere instilled by the small windows and dark colours in the KIA. And the Ioniq 5 would get my money, no doubt because I am not that concerned with the view of the outside which I would see only infrequently, but you spend much more time looking at the interior. I know that KIA has extra cost interiors, but they are expensive and the only one I like (a bit) is over €1300 more.

[@nickloftus4188]

You did well with that Ranger driver Mat! I would have been incandescent with righteous indignation!

[@DiscoFang]

To be fair, Matt was the one in the wrong. He didn't wait at the passing point when the Ranger was already on the single lane portion. He even admitted it then decided to be a smartarse about it.

[@stuffmadethen]

The difference in design and feature choice happens, because the E-GMP platform is thrown to a Hyundai and a Kia dev team, and even they are the same company, they dont talk to each other at all. Even the various dev teams within Hyundai alone don't talk to each other, so you get quirks like the different USB plugs and rear seat release... almost as if they were competing. Well they kinda are.

[@okaminekokami4930]

Wow, a reference to a currently popular and well know Netflix show. So relatable, Ty Dad on the script writing team. The cars look remind you of other things if you maybe squint? Quality review.

[@Lot76CARS]

The comparison we’ve all been waiting for... seeming the same car/platform but just proves how much autonomy both companies have to the final fine tuning. Personally the Hyundai stying and the Guigiaro Mk1 Golf influences seems a bit less contrived the Kia, BUT the handling would attract me to the Kia

Subjective of course, but for me the design of the Ioniq 5 is classic. From the overall neat and balanced appearance to the interesting details. It get's better every time I see it. Superbly well done. For me, it's the best looking car on the road. But why are they so wide? For many city streets, car parks and country lanes in the UK, these will be a pain to drive.

[@MichaelGyldenstrand]

Now you're saying it does not have the Hyundai logo on the steering wheel. Only 4 dots. But do you actually know what the 4 dots stand for? It's morse code. The 4 dots stand for an H Really cool little detail by Ioniq 5

[@olevaar8995]

If you told me 5 years ago that the two cars I would want the most in 2021 were a Kia and a Hyundai, I would have laughed at you. Yet here we are. I feel like I shouldn't like how the Ioniq 5 looks. It's just not me. But somehow, I really really like it.

A Talbot Horizon (Plymouth/ dodge Omni) mixed with a Lancia Delta. But main design line reminds a Talbot Horizon.

Hello Matt, I like your reviews about cars, especially about electric cars because in that days i want to buy electric car BYD Song plus ev, so i very much ask you to do review about any BYD

[@KaneLives1981]

I want the EV6 but with the external looks of the Ioniq 5.

[@shahidrainudeen5640]

I can remember that i suggested this video in a comment of a carwow video before and now its true.Thanks for doing this review carwow

Hyundai Ioniq5. Amazing car really. Had my first 800km last weekend. Incredible drive👍

[@lachlandoughty545]

Can your vehicle assessments please include ground clearance and height of driver and passenger seats from the ground. As a driver on the wrong side of 65 entering and exiting ground hugging vehicles is increasingly difficult. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoy your presentation style and vehicle appraisals.

[@mettisha]

Doesn’t the Ioniq 5 come with a sunroof in the UK? As he said in the vid? We ordered the top version that comes standard with a panoramic sunroof (vision roof) in Denmark.

[@inflicts8217]

Pretty sure it is only a panoramic roof. Not a sunroof, meaning that you can’t “open” it.

[@mettisha]

@@inflicts8217 Nonetheless it’s much bigger than the one in EV6. = more light and better view.

[@IngemarGustafsson]

@@mettisha Exactly. A bit unfair to point out that the Ioniq 5 doesn't have a sunroof, compared to the EV6. He could equally well have pointed out that the Ev6 doesn't come with a panoramic glass roof (much nicer, imo), compared to the Ioniq 5.

[@tezb]

Don’t think u can spec the 5 with a panoramic roof here in the uk ,

[@Guiggs17]

@@IngemarGustafsson Looking the site of Hyundai UK it's pretty clear that it doesn`t offer any type of sunroof neither panoramic roof, they put pictures of the model with the panoramic roof but with a big disclaimer that is not the UK model and the roof is not available there. Also Hyundai doesn`t offer the light interior in UK wich I think suits best in the Ioniq

[@brianrainey2739]

The first time I saw the Ioniq 5 my first thought was that it was the new Delta Integrale! Love both designs. Top of the charts for EV's.

Love your video can you start telling us if you can get heated seats and heated steering wheel on the cars thanx

[@bigquinny32]

Test drove both and ordered an Ionic 5 as it just feels more comfortable and I prefer the lighter interior and better visibility. The EV6 is sportier to drive but the jet black interior makes it depressing inside after a while.

[@ianjay5301]

I don't like the EV6 inside because it is a black cavern and I already have an oven to bake cookies in. The only break is the tiny little sunroof. Move to the Ioniq and you get a choice of lighter colors inside, and of course, the huge sunroof. I ordered the Ioniq 5 Ultimate.

[@bigquinny32]

@@ianjay5301 My Ionic 5 order from October 2021 got cancelled in March as they couldn't get me a dual motor Ultimate so ended up with a Tesla Model Y which is absolutely amazing, especially with the black alloys, white interior trim and dark grey exterior.

[@andywilliams1055]

Matt, having watched your and Rory Reid's (Auto Trader) reviews of the same two cars, I think that it would be great to get both of you on camera to discuss various motoring topics, or in some other kind of collaboration. You are different to each other and I don't know if the chemistry would work but you and Roy are currently two of the best British KZbin motoring journalists out there, IMO.

Nice Jacket, Matt. Where to buy it ?

[@andrewplayer800]

A great comparison Matt,I have been waiting for this. I have always preferred the EV6 but putting both side by side makes the choice more difficult . You didn't mention that you had already achieved a 4.84 from a previous EV6 test,also there is a 542 ?? HP GT version coming in late 22. At a reported 3.5 seconds, which is bound to be even quicker if the other test has anything to go by. Why are we consumed by 0 - 60 !!??** So much happening in the EV world now, what about the Genesis GV 6 ?? So much choice, can't wait forever to make a decision !! I think EV6 though. Hyundai and Kia are on the money now,great manufacturers. A

Hey Mat, would be amazing if you could do a review (or preview) on the Rivian R1S and R1T or even some of the other new American electrified off roaders (and drag race a few of them). Maybe, do trip over to cover all the new electric cars coming out of the US. Ta.
