Tesla Model 3 Performance vs. Hyundai Ioniq5 N - Stupid Quick EV's! - Redline: Comparison Test

[@theredline]

Happy Friday guys! This might be the most requested comparison test we've had in a LONG time. Big shoutout to Rob for letting us borrow his car and to our editor Martin for filming it all. There are no shortages of quick EV's on sale today, but these two might just be our favorites, we want to know below, which one would you actually choose? The more visceral feeling hot hatch that sounds and feels like you're driving a race simulator... or the car that let's you play video games in the screen driving in silence, but gives you the more impressive tech and infotainment system? Let us know below!

[@jackdaniels2905]

Tesla's lack of buttons, knobs, dials kills it for me. I do wish the Hyundai was as light as the Tesla. The mock sounds are awesome since they are able to be turned on or off. Yeah, I'd take the Hyundai.

[@JonNewell]

@@theredline I have the M3P, I did post a comment regarding this in the feed. Price was a big factor, The I5N is over 30K more than the M3P in Australia. I’ll do track day through the week and make a post of what I find. I think the noises and emulated gear shift in the I5N (which i have driven on track) would be a novelty that would wear off. An EV is an EV, the advantages of being able to hear the tyres if one reason you would not want the noise. Driving in silence with an awesome sound system is like being in a space ship!

14 Things Revealed About the Ioniq 5N Nürburgring Lap Time 1.The Sport Auto channel released a video on January 18, 2024, showing the Ioniq 5N’s Nürburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 45 seconds. 2. One lap of the Nürburgring, a motorsports circuit located in Nürburg, western Germany, is 20.8 km (or 20.6 km). 3. The Nürburgring has 154 corners, and the height difference between the courses reaches 300 meters. 4. The Ioniq 5N electric vehicle completed two laps of the Nürburgring, demonstrating a maximum speed of 260 km/h and a battery temperature of up to 46 degrees Celsius. 5. When genuine electric cars from other manufacturers (typically Tesla) are taken to a race circuit, the brakes do not hold up, and the battery overheats, limiting output. 6. Therefore, the Ioniq 5N required a new braking method that could surpass mechanical brakes. Brakes wear more heavily the heavier the vehicle and the faster the speed. It is widely accepted that track driving with mechanical brakes alone is nearly impossible for electric vehicles, which are 40% heavier than heat-resistant locomotives and have high output. However, Hyundai solved this problem by maximizing regenerative braking, a characteristic of electric vehicles. 7. In particular, ‘N Brake Regen,’ which can recover energy up to a high deceleration range of up to 0.6G using regenerative braking, was developed and applied to the Ioniq 5N. 0.6G is the deceleration level in an internal combustion engine vehicle when the mechanical brake is applied hard and the vehicle stops suddenly. 8. Additionally, the Ioniq 5N has improved heat dissipation performance by increasing the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation material applied between the battery cell and cooling channel. In addition, ‘N Battery Preconditioning’ technology, which provides optimal driving conditions by cooling or preheating the battery to an appropriate temperature before driving, was also applied to the Ioniq 5N. Reasons Why Lap Times of Electric Vehicles from Other Manufacturers Except Hyundai and KIA Cannot Be Trusted 9. Regarding Nürburgring lap times, the lap times of other electric vehicle manufacturers are less reliable. 10. Typically, in the case of Tesla, when measuring the Nürburgring lap time, it is done with a non-mass-produced car. 11. In other words, better brakes and suspension than the mass-produced car are installed, with different parts from the mass-produced car, and the lap time is measured. 12. Simply put, other manufacturers use unconventional methods to measure lap times for show. 13. However, Hyundai and KIA directly provide mass-produced vehicles to credible media to measure them. 14. The final conclusion is that Hyundai and KIA are confident in their performance and reliability.

[@事必歸正사필귀정]

You know very accurate facts. Very good, 😀 👍

[@VoxelLoop]

Just a side note but regenerative braking is generally turned off in EVs when used on a track as it causes additional heat in the cooling loops for the motors and battery. You're charging the battery and this process produces heat. Most EV drivers on track prefer having the heat in the brakes over the heat in the drivetrain as usually it's the drivetrain that gets thermal throttled before the brakes fade. :) At the end of the day, just like with any car, you can upgrade the cooling system with aftermarket parts. A bit more complicated with Tesla though as they use excess motor heat to heat the battery for charging and to heat the cabin, the whole system is very specialized and not really off the shelf parts.

The thing is that if you are one of the few (0.005%) that take the 3P to nurburgring, you have to spend a few 1000 dollars on brake upgrades. If you do autox or dragracing, you dont need to upgrade the brakes, same with sporty driving in the mountains. If you do autox, an wheel swap to a square 265 or 275 setup will help a lot. At dragracing the oem wheels are very light wheel (forged), so there is no reason to swap tires or wheels for dragracing or street. With the brake upgrades, you turn off the regen so the overheat issues are no longer there. Even with the upgrades, at least in Norway, you will have saved tens of thousands of dollars compared to buying the 5N and running it stock. The 3P will then also still run much further per charge than the 5N. The Model 3 is also lower, it is much lighter and more engaging to do corners in - as you sit lower. Of course if you do nurburgring I would also move away from staggered wheels and do square tires so you get more grip up front. 265 or 275 square. Then you would be able to outhandle a lot of cars which are way more expensive. Of course you cant beat every car out there, but you can at least have very much fun for "ok price". Not to say that the 5N is a bad car, I like the engineering of Hyundai/Kia, also Tesla and others, but its not like any car is perfect at everything. Especially the range of the 5N can be an issue when doing track days, same with the added weight and high seating position as its a crossover.

The price difference between the 2 in Australia is over 30K, with the Tesla being more affordable. I’ve driven both and got the Tesla mainly due to the price, but I’m also looking forward to FSD and I prefer cars over SUV’s. My previous car was an i30N which I tracked regularly without issue, apart from some brake fade which was manageable. From what I’ve seen the Tesla is going to struggle with brakes and overheating issues, so i will find that out soon enough. As a road car and on back roads, the Tesla is amazing. Since most people never track their cars, any of the Tesla’s inadequacies would be irrelevant. I5N is engineered for 20 minutes sessions on track, and at the N Festival last year in Sydney where I drove the car, they did this all day long.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

[@Sal3600]

@@JohnLee-db9ztthat's because he's driven both. Most here has either driven tesla or driven none and are just haters.

[@IXXIBoss]

I'm in exactly the same boat. On an even cost basis, I'd probably go the Hyundai, but here in Australia its hard to overlook the benefits of the leasing FBT exemption on the Tesla. I ended up going M3P for that reason and its an awesome car.

[@jasonkrohn8696]

I'm the same. Driven both, loved both. Went the M3P in the end purely on price on a lease with the EV GST/FBT saving. Unlike others I personally didn't like the look of the N, but the Tesla isn't perfect either. Miss my HUD that's in my Kia. Ultimately you'd be happy with either though. They're awesome!

[@VoxelLoop]

@@JohnLee-db9zt As another owner of the 2024 Model 3 Performance, and had a 2019 Model 3 Performance before it: The I5N is a great track car, better on the track than the M3P. But... I'd say the M3P boasts more benefits outside of the track. The Model 3 is lower, has a more sporty stance, and in my personal opinion has a much much cleaner interior with higher quality materials. The I5N interior looks really cluttered, but I have to say I'm likely biased as I've owned a Tesla for 5 years and very quickly adapted to a clean, minimalist interior. It's a preference for sure. Biggest benefit from the Model 3 is the constant software updates and the highly capable onboard computers. When I got my original 2019 Model 3 Performance it didn't have Sentry Mode (Dashcam built in), it gained better charging speeds and acceleration, better braking through an ABS update, several entire UI changes, along with many changes to the self-driving software and active safety features. And of course, Track Mode! All for free, downloaded over WiFi at home. Overall... For street use, I'd say the M3P is my personal preference, for track use the I5N is more capable. Depends where you spend the most time and what your preferences are I suppose.

There are no electric seats in the 5 N because they couldn't fit the seats as low as they wanted them to with the electric motors etc. I drove the M3P (first version) for about 3 years, now driving a hybrid, and I think I'm going for the 5 N this time. In the EU we do get the pano roof, shades and HUD, so some plus point for the 5 N here. I would certainly enjoy both, but the 5N checks some more boxes for me (also some more space in the back for the not so small kids anymore ;) ) Oh, and BTW prices are pretty similar here too. Not the manufacture prices, you can get a decent discount on the 5 N, so these aren't that far apart (with the FSD spec'ed, that is)

[@TorPedoCXC]

What price were you able to negotiate for the 5N? The official price here in Germany is 74,900 EUR. I was able to get an offer of 66,000 EUR. The official price for the M3P is 58,490 EUR. Of course without the pseudo-FSD stuff, which I don't need anyway.

On the other hand the Ioniq 5N did beautifully on the nurburgring for at least 1 lap. Hyundai claims it can do 2 including fast charging without thermal issues. But on the road the Model 3 excels. It always had been decent but the highland version perfects it. I just hope we see a track version with detuned plaid motors and a big brake kit. It weighs 800lbs less than the N which should make it excellent on track

[@vasil7410]

The Hyundai has a far higher average charging date. The 10-80% average charging rate for the Hyundai is 190kW, the Tesla is just under 100kW. Tesla like to boast about its charging rate, but it is short lived. The charging curve for the Tesla is very peaky but the Hyundai is very flat.

[@teeminator30]

Max range 220 miles on the Ionic 5 N? Is this a joke? Embarrassing for 2024. No thanks! 👎

[@vasil7410]

​@@teeminator30My comment is correcting a misleading statement in the video, that the Tesla charges faster than the Hyundai, but it doesn't. Tesla have very peaky charging curves, so they boast they can charge fast in their marketing literature, but the average charge rate - which is what matters - is far below the peak. If you want to pick apart the other advantages and disadvantages of each car, well that's a whole different discussion.

[@3nd939n3r]

​@@vasil7410 Tesla charges faster miles at the same time. Unfortunately Hyundai charges fewer miles in the same Time. And on the other hand Tesla is more efficient. Actually I think Tesla is roughly 20% more efficient than comparable cars.

[@spacep0d]

Teslas charge at 250kw regularly, and the new CTruck can charge at 350kw (V4 chargers).

[@vasil7410]

​@@spacep0dThe review is for the M3P, I don't know what the CT has to do with the discussion. Anyway, 250kW is just the peak rate for the M3P, but the peak rate doesn't last long at all. Look up charging curves to see what's happening. So may people just believe the Tesla hype without finding out the facts.

[@AkiraSieghart]

If you're actually buying either to track or even drive 'recklessly', it should be a no brainer. The new Highland M3P is a good upgrade, but it's cooling is still not up to snuff and it's still dangerously underbraked. Misha Charoudin who takes cars on the Nurburging, just did a Highland M3P and it lasted like a minute before the brakes started smoking.

[@det_tf2]

Agreed if you're comparing stock to stock, but for the price difference between the two, you could swap in some really nice brakes and still be thousands under the 5N's base price. The 5 N starts at almost 70 grand, while the Model 3 is 55 grand, meaning it qualifies for the tax credit and you could save another $7,500 if you're eligible for that.

[@trstnhn]

@@det_tf2 The issue with M3P is more than just brakes and the other issues u can't even fix

[@dangrass]

No question is that if the reason for buying a car is to run the Nurburgring, the Hyundai is the better choice. For any other use, including fast street driving, it’s the Tesla.

[@dangrass]

@@trstnhnimproving cooling on the Tesla isn’t easy. But then removing 900 lbs and doubling efficiency on the Hyundai is impossible.

[@trstnhn]

@@dangrass I5N is 1.5x the size of M3. I think I would take I5N for everyday use as well. I5N is also an SUV/Hatchback so it is way more practical. You can't use the full extent of either car's power on the street unless you have a death wish or want to get pulled over and get arrested right away. So M3P can't use its full power neither on the track or on the street.

22:16 the regular Ioniq 5 never had the heated seats in the back in the US market. It's the EV6 that has it. They also took out the HUD in the US market but Canada has it. Smh. The Vision roof is available in other markets. The US market got the shaft when it comes to the 5N. So sad. The 5N seems like a lot of fun but it's to racer boy in styling for me at my age. This is why I went with the EV6 GT instead earlier this year knowing all the missing features of the US 5N.

[@nicolasterzani9017]

Software software since I don’t go to the track model 3 makes more sense. Fsd blows my mind everyday.

[@spacep0d]

Too bad the Ioniq 5 is an SUV Crossover and a lot more expensive. It would have been cool if Hyundai committed to a hot hatch size/design. The front of the Ioniq is a hot origami mess, but the rear is cool. The Ioniq is just too large overall. Weird proportions. Hyundai range isn't great either. I really love Hyundai's audio feedback engine samples. It would be cool if Tesla had that optionally, with downloadable configurations for different-sounding sportscars. Is that only heard inside the vehicle, presumably? I like that LED display too. I gotta admit, if Tesla makes this available I'll be chuffed. It could easily be an OTA update. On the Tesla you're supposed to use two hands around the logo to gently close the hood. Bendy sheet metal, apparently. The Tesla's handles absolutely look better with a color-match, in this case in white. Tesla of course can use any Supercharger with the port in the best location. Hyundai owners will be able to use it soon, but not yet as far as I know. I would imagine the Hyundai doesn't charge as quickly as a Tesla, because few EVs do. The new V4 chargers go up to 350kw, which the CT can utilize best. I would imagine other Teslas will be able to charge at this speed soon enough, perhaps with an OTA update. On the Tesla you can tap the charge icon (in the app) to close the charge door. I do wish the app had a way to fold/unfold mirrors, but you can do this with voice command too ("Fold/Unfold Mirrors"). The badge is a 'Performance' badge but it looks just like the Ludicrous badge. It's nothing like the Plaid badge. What's nice too is that you can move the front seats from the rear control screen. Handy for getting in and out, or finding a happy medium for both front and rear seat passengers. Tesla's software is hard to beat too, along with their OTA updates (and FSD).

[@dannyspeed]

Just had a overnight test drive of the model 3 performance and it was absolutely brilliant. Savage acceleration and insaine handling. I currently own a 2020 model 3 Long range and love it. I have arranged a test drive of the Ioniq 5 N which will happen next week. Ive been so impressed with it from reviews ive seen Hyundai have done a fantastic job, so i need to see does it live up to the hype in real life. It it can lane keep as well as Tesla's autopilot then i may be really tempted to switch to the ioniq N. Love this comparison video and agree with the outcome you cant go wrong with any of these two cars if your a performance minded driver.

[@t1328]

Good video. I would have to drive both, because steering tightness is very important to me, and my new Model 3 Highland RWD/SR has fantastic steering compared to a regular Hyundaii Ioniq 5 AWD Limited I had for a while. But if the steering is as tight in sports mode on the N, and I could afford it, I’d take it for sure.

[@onehorsepower]

Steering feels great when you start pushing the N, it turns is and is playful like a much smaller car ...

[@mddah01]

In Australia the Model 3P is $A81,000 plus on road costs and the Ioniq is $A111,000. That $30,000 gap will be too wide for most buyers. Add to that the weight of the Ioniq and its relative inefficiency and the case for the Tesla gets even stronger. Sure ,the Ioniq will be more fun and quicker on the track but how often does the averga edriver need that? For every day use and the occasional long trips there is no contest.

This was great guys. Enjoyed it thoroughly. As a 2023 Model Y LR owner, I was thinking about converting another of our ICE cars to a Model 3 Performance. I just road tripped our Y from Long Island, NY to Orlando, FL. Because the Y was so comfortable and autopilot is a great aid on the highway (no I don’t think it’s really full self driving and I find it annoying quite frankly on streets), I ended up driving through the night and taking a couple of naps in the car with climate control on at all times, never shutting it off. I also had our dog with me and it’s easy to travel in the heat with a pet in the Tesla due to pet mode. I’d gladly buy another one. Agree with Rob though on the customer service experience compared with a traditional dealer model, However, I didn’t find the glass roof that bad in Orlando summer heat. It seems to do an impressive job versus other sunroofs / large glass moonroofs I’ve had with cooking you the least without a shade. To some extent, I think it’s a “hack” in the winter (when sunny) for efficiency. The Tesla can even take cabin heat and move it into the battery in the winter to keep its temperature higher while the car is parked.

[@Billie4404]

I absolutely loved the Tesla buying experience. Everything is done on the app and i only spent a few minutes with a person when i picked it up. Theres no haggling with sales and finance people. And i didn't have to pay any dumb dealer fees. It was the best experience I've ever had buying a car.

The 5N is the only other EV on the market other than the Taycan to offer (as standard!) a proper LSD in the rear and has the software calibrated to send all of the power to the back to be able to at least properly rotate the rear end let alone straight up hoon. Massive props to the M3P for still giving you a Drift mode and being able to slide around a car with an open diff, but unlike the other RWD platform EV's that catch my attention, Teslas are the only ones that can get an aftermarket LSD for the rear. Massive respect to both in terms of performance capabilities but the Hyundai of all things has the correct mechanical equipment for my tastes. The Koreans have come a long way.

[@ericgregori]

The Model 3 Performance costs $53,990, while the Ioniq 5 N has an MSRP of $66,100. That's a $13k difference. The Model 3's will give you $7,500 back at the point of sale. The actual price of the Model 3 Performance is $45,490, not even including incentives at a state level. Factor that in, and the price difference is $20k. If you do not think $20K is a big deal, get a Model S plaid, it is only $20K more than the 5N.

[@stevesute]

in Australia the model 3 is $89,000 and the ioniq is about $120,000 that's a big difference

@@JohnLee-db9zt The issue originates from the integrated charging control unit (ICCU). Hyundai first noticed a pattern in warranty returns relating to the part in October 2022 and commenced an investigation into heat damage on the low-voltage converter field effect transistors. In April 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) started its own investigation into the matter after receiving reports of vehicles experiencing a loss of motive power while on the road.

Both are awesome EVs but I'll take the Tesla all day long since I don't need the larger heavier Ionic 5. The Model 3 is more of a sports car with batter visibility and a nicer interior. The Model 3 has so many more features than the 5N that the video didn't even talk about, then with the tax rebate the M3P is over $17,000 cheaper since it qualifies for the tax rebate. The M3P has significantly more range, and is made in the USA. Also, some of the latest testing is showing the Tesla is putting out over 615 HP continuously and not just under a 6 second boost. So even though the Hyundai has an 800V system, they are saying the Tesla also charges faster, a button to close the charge port door would be nice to have on the Tesla.

I 1000% prefer the physical controls and traditional gauge cluster. It’s a much less distracting driving experience for me. Hyundai 100% needs to offer lighter interior options. The white seats in the 3 look really good. The interior is more premium. The trim doesn’t line up correctly and the lights aren’t the same 🤣. The software in the Teslas is pretty comprehensive. Sofyan should’ve sat behind the passenger seat in the 3. Your chiropractor’s grandchildren will thank you for that rear seat entertainment screen. The customization in the 5 is awesome.
