I have test driven both the Ioniq 5 and the EV6, as well as a couple of Skoda Enyaqs in the last few days, and think I'll be going for the Ioniq 5 with AWD. I didn't try a Model Y, as I have some reservations about the reliability, pricing, and reliance on touch screen controls. I have to admit the storage space is impressive though. The Ioniq, as it is sold here in Norway, just comes across as the most technologically advanced car. It is sold with lots of features as standard, such as super fast charging, heating and cooling for all seats, 360 degree cameras and HUD. When I turn on the signals, the display automatically brings up a video feed showing the side of my car. I have never seen that before. Even with all this equipment, the car is still more affordable and able to be delivered earlier than the others I looked at. They are all great cars, and I'm sure I would be happy with either one, but the Ioniq seems to be the slightly better choice.

The EV6 gives an intelligent nod to people who love cars as we have known them for the past few decades. They (we) need to be drawn into the EV market and a Tesla with the look and feel of some of its exterior and most of its interior (and high price) just won't do it.

As it turns out the Y would have been to expensive and we have no regrets.

Viewing it as competition is a mistake. Tesla's mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable energy. This is why they have open sourced all their patents. Rapid innovation and the output of a quality product is one area where Tesla continues to differentiates itself. Unfortunately, for other automakers, they are too far ahead and have reached economies of scale. 2021-2023 will be this last gasp for a lot of automakers, as the gov steps in and attempts to help them thrive. But they just won't be able to make money. In fact, ford and others are losing about 10,000 per EV sale right now, while Tesla boasts a ridiculous gross margin.

It will make them much more competitive in general and able to focus on more important things. Tesla's appeal is rapidly decreasing as they lose their monopoly in the ev market. Not to mention that they still look like they where launched 2008. Which i guess they technically where. But i do agree with you in a sense.

My priorities were met by the I5 and I bought one. The ride quality, interior layout, price, standard equipment, V2L HUD, and looks put the Y a distant third for me. I owned a used S previously and it spent half its life away from my drive so reliability and warranty were also important. Something overlooked but important to me. The charging network is no problem with the Ionity tie up with a 25p/kWh rate and faster to charge than the Tesla. Again not mentioned…. Range anxiety isn’t an issue in any of these when your look at average number of charges away from home for the majority of owners.

[@sokoo1978]

You can have a cheaper EV6, but in fact if you look at the trims, you don't really want. I'm hesitating between the two and with the configuration I like (GT line full extra) the price difference is dimnishing while Tesla has still many advantages against it like the better efficiency, the much, I mean MUCH bigger trunk and frunk (the 4wd EV6 frunks size is a joke), the light years better software and the SC network. There are few points towards EV6, like for me it looks way better and cooler, and the insurance is much cheaper. But in the other hand KIA requires ridiculous service intervals, while Tesla does not requires any, and it also holds it's value very well. So the total cost of ownership on long term might be even better for Tesla.

Absolutely great review comparing three different cars with 3 different opinions. Brilliant as you English like to say. The I5 looks to me like another car slashed its front doors and creased it terribly and I can't get past that. I would have to take it to a body shop and redo the doors. I have heard the EV6 is a longer vehicle and it does look awfully big and quite a bit harder to get in to and out of. The Tesla looks better in person but just needs to warm up it appearance as it just looks cold and calculated both inside and out. It just turns me off. Most everyone Is upset that car makers are doing away with all knobs and buttons in favor a one touch screen - better for over air updates just not user friendly. Rivian has gone that way for the most part too and is a definite negative for me. Would like to see a 3 door hot hatch version soon.

[@danielvilliers612]

Exactly, and for the review 18 to 29 minutes charging speed is not massive, that is more than 50%. But should be disappointed by less than 10% range 287 to 315, while we all know the Tesla range are always very optimistic.

@@danielvilliers612 the range in the model y is not optimistic. It's very close to real range. This is my number 3 tesla and it's the first where the numbers in paper and in display match real life. So you are right about the past,but for model y its not optimistic.

the reviewers forgot to mention that the RWD, 19 inch EV6 gets further than the Y, charges faster and rides better. But people tend to always gloss over bad points in Teslas.

[@Hans-gb4mv]

@@larss3903 That would be a change because Tesla wants its cars to report the range promised on paper when fully charged even if it is too optimistic to then drop the range faster than you are actually driving to make you not notice. Let's also not forget that most EU model Y owners have only been driving in warm or mild weather conditions and still have to go through their first winter. Most manufacturers these days are putting more average range estimates on their car instead of ideal figures to prevent backlash from customers falling short. My car has an official WLTP range of just over 200km, I think it's 208, but last summer I was consistenly hitting close to 300km on a full charge but I know that in a few weeks, when it starts to freeze, I won't even be hitting that 200.

You did me really want to try out the other 2 although I currently own a 3 2020. All in all - well done, will check out your other reviews and head-2-heads. Thanks !

[@MrFatknacker]

Saw my first EV6 on the road earlier this week - definitely good looking. The legacy manufacturers are starting to close the gap on Tesla, but there is still a long way to go - and of course then there is the Tesla Supercharger network which is still a bit of a trump card. I was thinking about holding off switching car from my BMW i3 until the Model Y became available in the UK, but in the end I needed more space urgently and so chose one of those Germanic EV SUV thingies hastily developed off a compromising ICE platform. Actually I am glad I did cos day-to-day it is a really competent and well built car and I do find the Tesla styling somewhat bland - price of aerodynamic efficiency I guess. Also being an old person I like my creature comforts and also real buttons. As for range, well it has lot longer range than I do these days 🙄

[@hungryboy424]

Great comparison video! Love it~ On the range part. Kia and Hyundai’s numbers are more accurate or under reported (might be due to Korea’s more strict regulations?) While the Tesla’s estimated range is usually above what you can actually get.

[@rickcastellione2267]

Not surprised given who owns tesla

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Before stating that, be aware that several reviewers have noted lack of efficiency from the Hyundai. There's also an "road trip" review you should watch on the "lemon-tea leaf" channel. A bit disjointed but there's something very odd about the battery module pairing, temperatures in those two blocks, and the heating and cooling, which caused issues with charge ramp at both low and high capacity. I predict either issues, or hardware/ software mods in the next few months.

[@ronlaverdiere]

@@rogerstarkey5390 Yes, there are a few different reviews that have shown battery management issues with the I5. We can hope that Hyundai is continuing to monitor and improve their system. It is a new platform for them, so it should only get better. Which, if you think about it in that respect, means that it has a lot of promise for the next couple years.

I agree with your point and Tesla has many advantages over the other two, but I would pick Ioniq 5 anyway mainly because of ventilated seats. I got used to it in my 1st gen Ioniq and want it in my next car too.

[@rashidclark]

A great feature which the I5 and EV6 have but I don't think Tesla does is a 360 overhead camera view when parking. This is an amazing tool for bad parkers like myself. Despite the good features of all of these cars, for me it feels like choosing which drawbacks am I willing to live with. What I'm gathering from various reviews some of the drawbacks are: Tesla: Poor quality control. Lots of owners finding trimming peeling off, pieces not quite aligned right, etc. Plus I'm not a fan of its design inside and out. I5: The rear window has no visibility during bad weather. Its shape prevents dirt and rain from being blown off. EV6: Also has the rear visibility issue though I'm guessing less so than the I5 (I haven't found many reviewers' takes on it). It also is very dark inside - I'd prefer to spend hours of driving in surroundings which lift my mood.

[@MrKlawUK]

I bought a model 3 SR+ as we don’t travel long distances often, the supercharger network helps for stopping a little more often, and the £8k premium for the LR wasn’t something I could justify. Same for the Y but in a more competitive space. Superchargers are still a big factor but hopefully Gridserve/others are improving constantly (Cornwall still a bit of a black hole). The price differences here really make you stop and think how often you really need a charge on a long trip. On the base cars you’re looking at £10-15k difference and at that point they’re really in different classes. But option up the EV6/I5 to a reasonable level and its maybe more like £5-10k. Still a big jump and those cars will get you 300 miles of range which will help you bridge gaps in the charger network. If I was in the market for a more CUV/SUV I don’t think Tesla would be my first choice but would still be on my shortlist. And the supercharger network would be the only thing putting it there right now.

[@darrenaitcheson795]

It's a very fair review, and a fair conclusion. However, I'll still be buying either the EV6 or the Ioniq 5, since at least Kia and Hyundai made an effort to make their cars look interesting; Tesla obviously just couldn't be bothered. That's one of the most dull-looking expensive cars I've ever seen...

[@CyAn-S]

Also Tesla is like 10+ grand more expensive (euro) in some cases even reaching 20K more. MY LR + color + Wheels + Enhanced AP = 70 grand. Top EV6 with color? just under 60. Yet the Y is noisier, has a worse ride, and charges way slower. And if you get the RWD 19 inch EV6, you pay even less and you get more range than the Y. How does the Y win here? If they were the same price, sure, but they clearly aren't.

[@presterjohn71]

When you put all three together the Y just looks like a jelly mold and really shows that Tesla is very much a software and battery company rather than a car company (even though they make shed loads of cars) I would only consider a Tesla these days if I was doing loads and loads of motorway miles and needed the charging infrastructure. If My car was to spend 80% of its time within 100 miles of home then it would have to be one of the Korean cars for me. Both look so much more impressive and both push my buttons to the point I am not even sure which one I like best.

[@stephen-boddy]

@@jonpriston8784 Few problems with that. 1. The brands will have to pay to play (or the owner will have to pay much higher kWh rates). Not great to help your competitor like that, although some already are with the emissions credits, so not impossible. 2. It is not a great look for the brand, having to rely on your competitors to adequately support the owners. Implies a follower, not a leader. 3. If the brand owner gets talking with Tesla owners at the Superchargers, there is a lot of scope for evangelism, and the owner might be convinced to switch, damaging future sales. This assumes that Tesla keep their edge. Based on the low R&D spend of major auto groups vs Tesla, I think it will be very hard to catch them, especially in the driver assist systems.

@@stephen-boddy Not sure the average Joe gives a monkeys about followers vs leaders or who's brand of charging station they are using at the time (Tesla owners use other brands when convenient of course).

I am picking up my RWD GT Line EV6 on Thursday, and at £44.5k in white it is over £10k cheaper than the Tesla! And has a 7 year warranty which wasn't even mentioned in the video! Yes I know mine is RWD but do you really need AWD? The Tesla starts @ £55k !! With 3 years less warranty. It's undeniable the Tesla has a massive boot and if that's your priority go ahead but for most of us parting with our hard earned cash we would lose a bit of boot space, ditch the AWD and pocket over £10k. No mention in the review that rear passengers in the Tesla have to ask the driver to change the settings of the heated seat for the rear passengers, sorry but that is just ridiculous in a £55k car.

Also the build quality wasn't great for a car that costs more. Large panel gaps, scratchy plastics, it just felt cheap in the backseats. Not what I had expected from a £70k car. How does the Model Y compare?

[@Soh90]

The S,X, and 3 were built during the infancy of Tesla and some (not all) had issues with panel gaps. My Model Y (2021 model) was flawless when it was delivered. And I heard that most 2021 and beyond vehicles have been vastly improved. As far as interior goes, I have zero complaints. There are soft touch materials even in the 3rd row and everything is put together nicely. Some of the classic Tesla gripes are still there (like the rear head restraints squeaking when raised) but I haven’t had any other issues. A quick note on exterior panel gaps. Aside from the uber luxurious brands of the world, no car has perfect build quality, and you will find vehicles with panel gaps inconsistencies in every brand from Acura to Volvo. Don’t buy a car based off what you read online from haters or fanboys. Test it yourself. I hated Tesla right up to the moment my wife forced me to test drive one. And then I ended up liking it so much that I agreed to buy one.

[@munkymind]

I appreciate this comparison. All three seem to be very good cars but with a different combination of pros and cons for each. Much depends on a variety of factors, where one lives, the intended uses, the style of driving one prefers, the ambience inside, etc. I've gone round and round. The Ioniq 5 has the least appeal of the 3 for me. I like the appearance of the EV6, but the lower seating position doesn't appeal. I will be coming from a larger car, the RX450h, so the size of the Tesla Y is preferable. It's fun to drive. And after I got more familiar with the computer and touchscreen, I am impressed by its capabilities. It's a little intimidating until one get's used to it and you discover it is very practical. The seats and seating position are very comfortable. And, as stated, it's the most efficient, the quickest, has the most range, has the most room, and then there's the supercharger network. I settled on the Model Y and reserved one. PS, in the USA the price difference between the more comparably equipped models of each is not as great. I'm willing to pay for the car I want most. I will say I was not so fond of the front end of the Models 3 and Y at first, but they seem to have grown on me. I was very attracted to the appearance of the EV6. I guess the Ioniq 5 is just not my style.
