Tesla Model Y vs. Hyundai Ioniq 5 | Electric SUV Comparison | Price, Range, Performance & More

Boxy is back, but is it enough to make you pick an Ioniq 5 over a Model Y? Let us know in the comments, and check out our full coverage of Hyundai’s new EV right here: edmu.in/3FFvao9

[@TheNature101]

BTW, the FRUNK on the latest shipping Ioniq 5 (don't know if it's only the RD version or both RD & AWD) is like 10x as BIG as the one on your demo car. If you want to see how gargantuan the frunk is look at 1:06 of this review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJaqfqFvl550m5o

[@realdeal173]

The box shape and other styling ques of the Ioniq 5 will age like an AMC Pacer/ Gremlin from the 70s or a Chevy Citation from the 80s. The Nissan Ariya looks better than both the Tesla and Hyundai.

[@vic5721]

A box is better than an egg. The model y and x are ugly. Used to be a Nissan fan... not anymore. Their styling goes out of date so fast and resale value on them are terrible

[@markplott4820]

Edmunds - the IONIQ 5 is an OK, car its Better than the MX-30, Mach-e, iD.4 , BOLT and LEAF, but it SIMPLY cannot match a DUAL MOTOR Long Range model Y. the IONIQ 5 is too HEAVY , too SLOW , too Short RANGE, and its LESS Efficient than the Model Y. the IONIQ 5 has a REALLY CRAPPY Drivetrain and EV Platform called GIMP , and trust me the IONIQ 5 is a GIMP. but, both the KIA EV6 and IONIQ 5 should do well, but its NEVER going to SELL Tesla model Y numbers.

[@Miata822]

The Hyundai is stylish, comfortable, and practical. It should sell very well if Hyundai can produce enough of them. It has been out in Europe for a while, and I read good things from owners there. to me the Model Y has awkward proportions, is starting to look dated, and while some call the interior "minimalist" it strikes me as simply cheap. The biggest downside of owning a Tesla may be social. A large number of Tesla fans are particularly rude in their online comments. I haven't looked but I am sure there are some like that under this video. (and now I see a typical example just above this post)

Like you say, the Tesla's glass roof is killing sometimes if it is both hot and sunny. The Hyundai has the electrically adjusted shades. And, it opens and closes with style. I really like that thoughtful touch of Hyundai. And the seats that come with foot rests are also very nice ideas. I also like how the backseats can be moved back and forth to increase cargo room and the angle of the seat back can be adjusted. My mom has back problem and she needs the seat to be upright position. Hyundai is very thoughtful in a lot of ways and can be evident in its designs. Really nice EV from the brand.

From a bang for your buck, in Canada it’s no competition for, the Ioniq 5 is just over $20K cheaper than Model Y LR, and I am talking about the fully loaded Ioniq 5. It is pretty well the same price as a Model 3 SR+ give or take a few hundred dollars these days.

Seconded. Test drive both and have been very happy with our IONIQ 5 over the past month

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

Ioniq 5 AWD costs around 3000 CAD less than the Model Y LR here in Norway. If it had been priced at 42 000 cad total, for the whole car with everything it has, then it would be okay. For pretty much the same price as the Model Y, you instead get an outdated car that has a infortainment system that rivals 6 year old Volkswagen and a map that rivals a 15 year old Mercedes or BMW. I can't think of a single thing the Ioniq inforscreen does not do WORSE than a 2016 Passat GTE. I can find a few things it does on par or even better than my 2015 Golf stationwagon, but userfriendlynes, ease of use and so forth are horrible. And you get all of that outdated technology for 7500 CAD more than the ID4 GTX (With the GTX having less driving assists and so forth because of computer part shortage)

I agree. If you don't _really_ need AWD the RWD gives better range, is lighter, and less expensive.

If you don't drag race or live in a snowy Minnesota small town I would go for a single motor.

The moving console will almost always be back. For those (hopefully) few times when you have five people in the EV, that middle rear passenger needs the extra legroom that moving the console forward creates. With only two rear passengers, moving the conole back brings the USB ports closer to their laps. I think it is a GREAT feature.

It’s a great car that stands on it’s own but what influenced my decision specifically over Model Y: The ability to pick a trim- Tesla’s are all premium trim offering perks I just don’t care about so I appreciate being able to pick a lower trim and not have junk I don’t need in a car. Price (and tax rebate). Having a driving interface that has buttons and useful information… not just one screen. I do really find the center screen distracting when driving. 2 years of free charging. The plan that Tesla will eventually open up the Supercharging network to other cars (The charging network my mind is the single most distinguishing aspect of any Tesla. It’s crazy valuable.)

Both vehicles offer unique and innovative features. Hyundai's V2V/V2L is fantastic, turning the car into a mini-generator. Tesla's software, with their Toybox, Arcade, and Theater, not to mention endless OTA updates, are a lot of fun. I think, as with any major purchase, it will depend on what's most important to you. Tesla's Supercharger network, and how it's integrated into the car's navigation and battery management systems, is the best if you frequently do road trips. The non-Tesla charging network is still playing catch up. But if that's not important to you, the Hyundai's vented seats, more traditional interior, and overall design may work better. So, do your research. Figure out what car works best for you. Personally, I don't think these two compete due to the huge price difference. $60k for an MY LR puts the Tesla in another price bracket. I think the Hyundai competes more directly with something like the VW ID.4 and others that with pricing closer to $45-55k. I do agree that there are now a lot more EV choices. Competition is always a good thing.

Third, Tesla is the only company that has a giant screen in the middle that I can stream Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, etc. I use that feature all the time. One time I went camping and my Tesla was the only thing that got any service so everyone wasn’t able to use their phone but I still got to camp in AC with my Netflix.

The price difference in Norway amounts to Model Y being about 3400 dollars more. But the Ioniq has a worse infortainment system than my 2015 Golf, a lot worse than the 2016 Passat GTE. The map is the worst I have seen in the last 15 years. My father sold used cars, so I have seen a lot of the different maps that have been since they first started to appear in cars. You cannot use the map to navigate for long trips, as you can with the Tesla and VW. Even with a 80 percent charge, and a drive that is 600 km, it tells you to charge right away. It doesn't plan ahead. You also cannot navigate the map in any meaningful way. You cannot place the map in front of you, and the headup display isn't visible with my sunglasses on. The headup was also much better on the ID4. It doesn't remember regen (accident waiting to happen, if you one day don't remember to put it into I-pedal) and the speedometer is behind the wheel. I had to move my whole upper body to see the screen. Compared to the ID4, which is right there, or the Tesla which you have to adjust your eyes slightly to the side. No body movement at all with those cars. I would say it felt like you got 15 000 dollars more car with the Model Y. When a ID4 with few "add-ons" costs 5700 dollars less than the Ioniq, it also is hard to justify. It is espeically hard to justify the car, since the screen is at least 6 years outdated and the map at least 12 years....

Not a fanboy and I really love all vehicles, EV’s etc…test drive some other EV’s to compare and while as nice as they were, none of them could beat the driving experience of the model 3. The Volkswagen id4 is a really nice vehicle. Build quality was exceptional and ride comfort was fantastic. The UI though was absolutely awful and the driving experience was beyond boring. I honestly went back early and cut the test drive short because it was that bad to me. As far as consumer EV’s go, it seems Tesla is the only one not afraid to give the public actual performance instead of watering it down. Even the sr+ is nothing to sneeze at and will instantly haul butt at the press of a foot. Not sure why other regular manufacturers (not Porsche and other high end EV’s) seem so afraid to give people some performance feedback in the driving experience. Even the charge amount, Tesla gives you more to work with (advising daily charging up to 90% and 100% with LFP batteries) where the other brands say they have a huge range, but only suggest you to charge 80% max. One vehicle I will say that is really nice for the price and what you see is what you get is the Kia Niro EV.

What a great review. I drove a 2020 Tesla Model Y which I got rid of after too much phantom braking that became dangerous (I know I was in the minority experiencing that much). I purchased an Ioniq 5 Limited AWD like this one. Overall I’ve been happier with it. I do miss the way the Model Y takes corners, and how tight it’s steering is (the Ioniq’s is tight only in Sports mode). I miss the OTA updates. But I don’t miss anything else. Btw, that space in front of the console is where my daughter puts her school backpack on the way to school, or where I put my work backpack on the way to a meeting. The sliding console is really useful when you’re using that luxury front seat feature leaning it all the way back while waiting for charging or for someone at an appointment. Moving the console back gives you access to things on it while lying down. Finally, I too find the Hyundai’s HDA2 better than Autopilot. It is far less aggressive in it’s moves and it never, and I mean never, phantom brakes. That alone is a breath of fresh air.

[@CherylWalters]

After hours of comparison videos and deep dives into the Inoiq 5, I finally test-drove the SEL trim and was very impressed, although the matte gunmetal gray was not my thing and I would like the Premium trim with the longer range. It definitely does look and feel larger than I thought it would, and the interior was nicely laid out. I wasn't crazy about the two horizontal touch screens at first - they were so stark and white - and the driver's panel was a little weird - at first. I actually like the night setting and would consider using it during the day as well because the white screens are bland looking in my opinion. Considering I had never experienced the controls before, everything was fairly intuitive. I am not crazy about having to rely on both the touch screen and the buttons beneath it to control the fan, etc, but perhaps there is a way to just use one or the other. Also, as I was driving, I reached over to turn the volume knob and my hand grazed the "Warmer" setting of the temp control. I didn't realize anything had happened until it started to get very warm and I looked over to see that the temp had increased quite a bit (It was 100 degrees outside). The location of the shift changer took a little getting used to, but it will grow on me. The back seating area is HUGE! My husband is 6'4" and had a LOT of head and leg room available. I'm tall as well, and not getting any younger, so having the seat height higher makes it much easier (and more graceful in a dress) to get in and out of compared to my Clubman. I was bummed that USB-C charging ports aren't yet available - why not put one of each side by side? I'm in Houston, so I am not as concerned about not having a rear wiper, but it does rain torrentially at times, so having one on my Mini Clubman is indeed helpful. My only other experience with an EV was in the Polestar 2 during my trip home to WA state. I LOVED that car but did have my stomach in knots on my first leg because I couldn't stop worrying that I would run out of power since I was driving over the Cascade mountain range. It was stressful even though the car was displaying my range and how many miles remaining upon arrival. Once I got over that first trip and the hurdle of finding a charging station that wasn't being used already, I knew an EV was for me. As I mentioned, I'm in Houston, and although one would think charging stations are few and far between, that's not the case and I can envision going to San Antonio, Waco, or Austin easily, as well as a trip to Dallas with only a quick charge needed. Oh and regarding Ryan's comment about not being sure about the moving console - well, since he probably doesn't carry a purse or bag, it may not seem important, but I am always having to deal with my purse and put it on my floorboard on the passenger side or on the seat, and having it on the floor within easy reach in the Ioniq 5 is definitely a plus. I am a huge car buff and the trim and interior features are important to me, so to make sure the Ioniq 5 is for me, I'm going to test-drive a couple other makes/models - the Genesis GV60, Mustang Mach-E, the Nissan Ariya (I sat in one while in WA - the Nissan guys let me charge my Polestar rental and they had a couple Ariyas there) - and, this may be crazy - the Fisker Ocean (the One trim is my preference). The only thing bothering me about Fisker is the brand has gone bankrupt before and even in the 4th largest city in the country, finding a dealer may be tough. I'll be checking out Edmunds reviews on these makes/models. Wish me luck - I'll be in an EV SUV in 2024 (or before if a cool '24 comes out before January).

[@Arpedk]

@@bilgyno1 I have 25k miles my dad has 45k miles in Teslas. Either have never had a problem. There is nothing wrong with Teslas build quality today. They have improved a ton over the last 10 years. Edmunds don't want you to know this because they are earning their money from Ford and GM.

The Ioniq 5 is a better valued car but the Model Y is higher in terms of status. I'm noticing that many people are buying Teslas as a status symbol, similar to BMW or Mercedes owners. I don't think that they are comparable in this regard, the Model Y is in a different class than the Ioniq 5 imo.

[@Deetroiter]

It’s interesting how Tesla was supposed to be the “EV for the masses”…when in reality it’s every other manufacture but Tesla that is making ‘affordable’ EV vehicles

[@beenchillin2yill197]

It's called demand, and there is a lot of it.

[@ricric9521]

Affordable is a subjective term. The fact that I was able to buy one makes it affordable to me because I'm not rich at all. Without incentives, the Ioniqs aren't exactly cheap either. The price is a fluid thing because of the insane demand. If they were 30-35k, people would have to be on 2+ year waitlists.

[@glennbartusch7310]

I like the Hyundai as with everyone here. What I don't like is the weakness of the analysis. Edmunds utterly fails at explaining how the Hyundai feels quicker than the Tesla. So inept is their explanation that them trying to explain Hyundai's acceleration sounds more like automotive bias - a no no when engaged in this line of work. One slip up is forgiveable, but I'm an asshole if I'm going to continue believing the critique after the same bias appears when comparing the brakes of both cars. The Tesla has the better numbers, so if the Hyundai really does have the better brakes, it should be an easy task communicating this fact to the viewer, right? Wrong! The best Edmunds can come up with is, "the Hyundai just seems more solid in it's breaking..." (Sic for any misquoting, but you get my drift). Therefore: Hyundai? Great car. Tesla? Also a great car. Edmunds? Still inept at delivering any meaningful automotive journalism. Sorry, that's just the way it is. If the journalist wasn't so damned biased, I'd know which of the two cars to buy by now.

[@JY-lg6ee]

As far for the ride quality and the range, you should compare with Model Y Long Range. MYP has lowered suspension and 21 inch Wheels, so the ride will be more rough and lower range

The sliding center armrest and cupholders allow you to move from one front seat to another if you are blocked for exit or entry from either side of the car. Hope you get it since you mention in your video at 5.01 that "[you are] struggling to see .. how it is adding anything to the experience."

[@gregorypena2330]

Honestly, with the column shifter and moving console, I wish the Ioniq 5 had an option for a front bench seat. It’d make the car even more practical since you could seat up to 6 people.

I'll be taking delivery of my Ioniq 5 in mid February in the Ultimate trim (Canada) and I can hardly wait. Thanks for a great review

[@wkaldes]

Test drove the Model Y but decided to wait on buying an EV until I can try the Ioniq 5 out.

[@OlJackBurton]

Too bad there will be hundreds of thousands of Ys available for Murican customers and only about 30k Ioniq 5s...

[@geoffblazer]

The moving console is excellent. It means that when my partner is driving, her purse is not under my feet when we're driving! I think this is GENIUS

[@Soh90]

As an OWNER of a 2021 Model Y, I gotta say, the Model Y doesn’t make much sense now at its current price point. When I purchased my Model Y last year, it was $48,000. I added third row seats, white interior, and a tow hitch. All in, it was about $52,000. I skipped the harsh riding 21” wheels and thus, I feel like I purchased the perfect car at the perfect time. However the Model Y now cost nearly $8,000 more to start, and I’m sorry, that’s just too much. It’s a BRILLIANT car, but price will kill anything.

[@nirledisko1]

It’s still does. There is no other 7seat option on the market. Maybe GLB later on. But Model Y will still win with its practicality.

[@Soh90]

@Jon VB Note that I only commented on the Model Y prices. I didn’t mention the Ionic 5 because quite frankly, I know they’re not gonna start at MSRP and I don’t necessarily think that they are a good deal either. My KZbin profile picture is years old and it’s a picture of my beloved TSX that got totaled. It was and probably still is one of my favorite cars. High revving 4, 6 speed manual, and Honda reliability (though if I’m being honest, it wasn’t THAT reliable haha!). I don’t feel the need to change my profile pic to match my current car. That seems kinda silly don’t you think?

[@Qarnifex]

@Jon VB I just bought my Ioniq 5 limited at MSRP, no markup.

[@misterb1132]

Damn. I just built a Model 3 two months ago and it came to $63,000...canceled it the next day. Built a Model Y for fun recently (came close to clicking the order button again) and it was $64,000! These were not even the Performance packages.

[@jodydewey3516]

for the comparison of the 5 to the Model Y...which driving mode were you in? Sport or Chill? That would definitely effect the "feel" of the acceleration and how responsive the car was to pedal input

[@aaronharvey6406]

Nice video. I like Kia EV6 which is their version of the Ioniq 5. I’m waiting for the release of Kia’s EV9 and Hyundai’s Ioniq 9. It would be nice to have a review done on them.

[@mamananawatts7148]

An answer for whether all of that open space in between the Driver & Passenger seats up front on the floor is useless? I Love it! To all of you ladies who’ve always said “When will there ever be a car designed with a place to set my handbag down, within reach?” This Ionic 5 finally designed it!👏💕

[@ronknox3376]

The N version of the Ioniq5 will be arriving in the not too distant future. Another performance test against the Tesla Y Performance would be warranted. BTW, I've driven both and think that Tesla's middle of the car console is just bizarre. Why they don't have at least a heads up display is beyond me and makes me wonder how that is safe. Hyundai have, it appears, made a concerted effort to be at the forefront of electrified vehicles. With their sister EVs from Kia and Genesis, they are the early favourites with more models such as the Ioniq 6 also due out soon.

[@gf401]

I will choose Ioniq 5 over Tesla for the ventilated seat...once you have it..you can't live without it.

[@carsandsports6688]

I like that the Ioniq5 comes standard with lane centering, adaptive cruise control, and HDA 1. I think they are the most convenient features to have for freeway commutes and long road trips. I really dislike that the only way to have similar features on a Tesla is by paying $10k for Full Self Driving. I know FSD has more features available, but I don’t necessarily need all of them.

[@agentjrb]

I have a Palisade I’m assuming the system is the same and as in the Ioniq. The Hyundai tends to drift more and after a lane change you hold it there and watch the lines to know you’re locked in. With the Tesla it’s a more deliberate maneuver and it feels safer it’s more obvious when it’s engaged with Hyundai you really have to watch the lane monitor to make sure you’re in lane keeping mode.

Apple Carplay and that HUD are huge pluses over the Model Y. Those exterior colors are sick. Look like custom aftermarket paint jobs. Impressed with Ioniq 5.
