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

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.

[@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)

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.

I agree. If you don't _really_ need AWD the RWD gives better range, is lighter, and less expensive. Driving both the VW ID.4 and Mach E RWD models I found off the line performance and responsiveness to be better than similar type gas cars. If you don't drag race or live in a snowy Minnesota small town I would go for a single motor.

[@raymondwong2521]

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.

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)

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).

[@punjab1captain]

If you would have compared to the long range model Y it would have been much better since you seem to care a lot about range and comfort and price. Also Tesla has improved a lot since the model shown on this video so it’s kind of unfair to compare a 2 year old car to a brand new car from factory.

Today was the first time I save an Ioniq 5 on the road and I did not know what it was. I caught up, and was impressed with the overall shape of the car, and the dash screens really caught my eye. If Hyundai can do away with the "dealership games" that have made buying a car on the second worst experience to a root canal, they can really make hay here. So far the EVs that I've had from traditional manufactures have all been tainted from the sales, and service that we all have come to dislike about them.

Great review. I currently have both cars, I'm selling the Tesla and keeping the Ioniq5. I did't intent to have both cars, I just got tired or waiting for the Tesla Y which took 7 months to get here! In the meantime, I looked for a light Ioniq5 with a light interior. When my local dealer called to say they had one coming in I grabbed it. Keeping the Ioniq5 based on cost, how quiet it is to drive, and better visibility. Tesla Y has some blind spots, and the glass roof makes it hot in the summer.

[@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

[@vmfan96]

I’m a huge Tesla Fan and love what they have done for the industry… but the styling of the Y just couldn’t sway me and now with massive price increases (due to more demand than supply) and competitive options like this Ionic 5, it is much harder to go for Tesla. Instead I would go with the Ionic 5 and would buy Telsa stock with the money saved. The Ionic styling, build quality, features (heads up, user interfaces, V2L) and positive reviews really help the decision.

Very fair comments. But for a $20,000 price difference and an additional $10,000 for the Autopilot, the Tesla falls short on value and important features like cooled seats, heads-up display, reclining back seats, the cool roof and many more. The Ioniq 5 may be slower by a few seconds on 0-60mph. But what's the ruch? All the other features make you want to spend a few additional seconds in the car.

Model Y Performance owner here: I was initially concerned about the sun coming through the glass roof. It is absolutely perfectly tinted. On a sunny day, you can’t tell. Yet it’s light enough to get good over head light and visibility when looking above. -I have no creaking issues like you mentioned you had. Maybe quality control improved. -regarding the wireless charging platform on the Model Y… I’m sick of other car companies acting like everyone doesn’t need a dedicated place for our phones these days. The model Y is the first to do it so perfectly. I do wish my car had the surrounding camera options like the Ionic. That 3D view is awesome. And the birds eye view should be standard on Tesla by now. Thanks for the video. Excited to see improvements through competition.

[@mjhowson2389]

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.

[@t1328]

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.

I also own a 2020 Model Y. Phantom braking and rattling noises are real. I also don't like the fact that I don't get AM radio which was not mentioned in this video.

I love being able to avoid gas stations and the convenience of the supercharger network, but Tesla has left the door open for EV competitors.

Teslas are fantastic cars - in my opinion they are the best cars on the road. You are welcome to disagree and buy something else. But Tesla raised the bar pretty high for what's expected in a car today, so whether or not you buy a Tesla, the car you end up with is probably going to be pretty good, and you can thank Elon for lighting a fire under the car industry's ass for that.

I have the same. 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.

Ioniq 5 is same or more than the Model Y in both the SEL and Limited AWD trims. They are adding at a minimum 5k adjustment. Just test drove both today and definitely liked the Y over the Ioniq 5. Range and Charging Infrastructure is better with Tesla until Electrify America catches up (another 3-5 years probably). Build quality definitely better in the ioniq 5 but when i test drove the y today it wasn't a huge drop off as it was in the past.

[@fredrikfjeld1575]

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....

@@RDKZbin54 I bought my Tesla because first off they have been making EV’s the longest and when you drive one you can tell it’s a much smoother ride, especially with the regenerative brakes. Second Tesla has by far the biggest and best supercharging network, so I never have to worry about range on a long trip. 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. Even though my Verizon phone didn’t even have service. Tesla is the only company that will send a service guy to my house for service, they will do service in my garage. There’s so many reasons to go Tesla I could go on forever, I trust Tesla battery packs not to spontaneously combust and I can’t say that about their competitors like Kia/Hyundai. Also my car is only a year old, I bought it for 55k and I could sell it for 70k right now if I wanted to. Unfortunately I don’t want to sell my car. Also the tax credit you mentioned is honestly BS because Tesla actually gives set in stone pricing, which means you’re not paying more or less than MSRP. If you try to buy any other brand EV right now they are all charging $5,000 or more above MSRP sticker price. So those savings you mentioned don’t exist. 😂

@@lagunamusic7686 so if Tesla isn't marking up their cars then how can you sell your 55k car for 70k. Why wouldn't someone just buy a new one. As far as service goes I don't know where you live but I've heard many people complain about service from their Tesla dealership. Not to mention, if you only had your car a year then what was the service guy doing at your house? As far as pricing goes I don't know what you got for 55k but everything I price is well over 60k, plus there are dealerships that don't charge over sticker,, you just have to find them. You are correct on one thing, Tesla has definitely been doing it the longest. And they are the most expensive, so with those 2 you would think you wouldn't have any build quality problems and you damn sure shouldn't be hearing any rattling noises. As far as charging goes, you're right. Tesla has to have the biggest network. As far as you're not having signal story goes, I'm sorry I don't believe it. How can your cell phone not have service but somehow the Tesla does? I highly doubt Tesla has a bigger network than a cell phone company.

[@lagunamusic7686]

@@RDKZbin54 it’s 70k on the used market because there is over a year waiting list for a brand new Tesla, so people are willing to pay more than it costs for a brand new Tesla to buy a used one at any dealership that sells used cars and has them in stock. Supply and demand genius. Service was at my house because I had a scuff on one of my speaker panels, so they replaced it for free. You’ve heard people complain about their service? Cool sounds like you’re a real expert. I speak from personal experience, you speak out of your ass. You honestly don’t know Jack about anything you’re saying.

The model Y feels slower? I have owned a ioniq 5 and now own a model Y. I couldn’t disagree with you more. The ioniq ultimately got bought back from Hyundai. Things I hated about the ioniq 5 2022. 1. Suspension is so soft, go around a corner and it is sloppy. 2. Lane assist was horrible, never would stay in the center. Always hugged one side or the other. Tesla is amazing with this. 3. Try and get an ioniq serviced. Hope you are good with a couple weeks. 4. Keyless entry. Not even comparable to tesla. 5. Still have to plug your phone in for car play. I know Tesla doesn’t have apple car play but I have not missed it a bit. Tesla’s system goes head to head and in a lot a ways much better. 6 sound system is amazing. Technology is completely on another level. 7. Performance is on another level. My Y would crush my ioniq in any speed range and it definitely feels it. Things I liked better on my ioniq. 1. Quieter. 2. Uniq look. Got a lot of complements. 3. Rear seat had more room. Tesla y still has a lot. 4. Ride is softer but I’f you get on it feels like a boat going around corners. Bobs a lot. I’m blown away this review would pick the ioniq. Trust me drive them both for yourself. Now that you can pick them up for the same price or less pending on trim.

My Model 3 LR has none of those issues. He even discounts speed and braking advantages in the Tesla by saying it doesn't "feel" something when clearly the advantages are stark in favor of the Tesla. A year from now the Tesla will continue to receive updates for capabilities over the air while the Hyundai will just be a year older.

I have 20/20 vision with my glasses on but that doesn't mean my eyes will instantly focus on a font that small when I shift my vision from looking at the road to looking at that screen. It's ridiculously small. I'd have to do everything either by memory or by guessing. I've driven a Tesla Model 3 and I'd say it's a decent EV. But that screen is one of a variety of factors that eliminates the Tesla from any consideration from me. I saw one of the first Ioniq 5s sold in the US in December. The owner was nice enough to show me the car. Very nice car.

It isn't a Tesla so different experience. The nav database does tell you where chargers are, but the nav system on my SEL trim package doesn't do trip/recharge calculations. You'd have to use an external smartphone app to get that functionality.

There's no difference between glancing at a heads up display and glancing at a centre console screen. You still take your eyes off the road for a moment, and the distance your eyes move is about the same when you measure the trajectory of the eyeballs from glancing down vs glancing to the right from the location of your head. This is just someone criticizing change after habitual behaviour for decades driving a gas car with a heads up display. It takes about one or two drives to get used to glancing at the centre console. The access to the vehicle battery power for external power use is so amazing on the Ioniq -- I wish Tesla would offer that.

Ryan's review was very well done, and felt quite balanced. I also appreciated his polished speaking style - no umms, ahhhs, like, etc. That takes a good deal of practice, so thanks for that. If you had asked me 6 months ago, I would have said that I've been waiting to buy a Model Y since it was announced. Today, I'm taken aback by Tesla's ever rising price on their Y, as well as the continual increases on the work-in-progress self driving features. I've been keeping a close eye on the Ioniq 5 since the previews, and these reviews have me leaning far more toward Hyundai now - something I never would have predicted. I look forward to seeing this at a dealership. With a kid in college, I need to get a hands-on feel for the storage space. Lugging all those clothes, books, and electronics chews up a lot of space! The videos are great, but some things can only be properly judge in person. The biggest concern has to be the charging network. Tesla has spent a lot of time and money building out their proprietary network. I even have a dozen superchargers within a mile of my home in suburbia! Electrify America? Not so much - not even en route to my kid's college. That could be the real deal breaker. The charging stations are a critical part of an EV's ecosystem! Wondering if anyone has any real world feedback about the charing network and recharging time on the road in the NY, NJ, CT, PA region?

I was excited for the Ioniq 5 when they announced pricing, but the AR HUD is locked in to the loaded up model and I'm still poor. I really wish it had the seat mounted USBC ports and coat hanger from the EV6 though.

Great News! I think the best upgrade options yoke steering wheel+titanum lugnuts. Let me know if you're interested in adding any of these accessories to your own amazing Tesla!
