Why do most of these EVs have a congested grill design like an ordinary car? Tesla, Lucid and Ionic seem to be the only ones that minimize that regular car and clumsy and unnecessary grill face look. I am an Industrial Designer. If I’m designing these cars, I’d try to add a unique identity reflecting the unique electric engineering of the car.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

It is seriously crazy that the Q4 e-tron and BMW i4 don’t have adaptive cruise standard given the price points and it being 2022.

[@zibizz1]

Because old automakers have a lot of extra things, which can double the cost of the car. Talking about base price versus Tesla without considering what they don't have is reality skew. For VW, BMW and Audi you need to tick every thing in configurator that other cars already have in standard. As they say better a fully equipped Toyota than a bare Lexus

[@ericcarabetta1161]

I love the way the Ioniq-5 looks, it looks the most like what an 80's or 90's "concept car of the future" would look like, it's futuristic but has just enough retro elements to make it feel familiar in a way.

I've had the Q4 over in the UK for about 9 months now and the connected tech is shockingly bad. We're all still waiting on a software update to enable OTA updates which is probably not going to happen anytime soon. I love the Q4, it's a beautiful, solid, car and drives great but just be prepared to feel a little left behind with the advancements in technology.

Texas, US experience. I purchased an Ioniq 5 simply for the looks and space. Went with awd for extra power. After driving in normal mode with a somewhat heavy foot, I experienced EPA rated range. I have recently switch over to Eco Mode, and 80% of my driving has been around 40mph, around town. I get around 320 miles with this change. I dont road trip often but my experience has been ok, better than expected at EA network. It can be improved. Overall I am very happy with the car, serves its purpose as a daily driver hauling around my family very well. Did consider the model Y and would have purchased one in 2021. I would not at the current price. The charging infrastructure is the single best feature of the Model Y but it does not apply that much for me. It is still hard to consider now with all the options of evs in the 40k-60k range. Too much of a premium for the Model Y, even considering standard range(potentially 60k)

[@WhatIsTheMeta]

Good review. As a Classic Models S Owner who doesn't want to pay a premium for its sister SUV, the X, the Iqonic 5 would be the way to go via your review and the video.

[@RickLeBeau]

I bought an Ioniq 5 in May of 2022. Loved it, and knew I wanted to get an EV for my son and his growing family. I had a chance to test the 2021 ID 4 that summer (don't ask me why a dealer wouldn't have a current model available to test drive), and was a bit disappointed. In the fall, I was able to test the 2022 version of the ID 4, which was much improved, but the I-5 was still superior, especially for the price tag at the time. So I ended up getting the I-5 for my son in November of 2022. Prices have actually gone down significantly since then for Hyundai EVs, as supply has caught up to demand. I don't know about the VW EV pricing.

[@billwolff6582]

This video actually cleared up a lot of my questions about different cars. Thank you for putting it all in one place

[@DR-zk2do]

Great review. I appreciate the effort you make to understand the technical aspects of each car and you communicate it so well. IMO buying an electric car compared to an ICE car you are also buying into the charging infrastructure as well as the tech interface as these are part of the everyday experience with an EV. More range is better if it’s due to efficiency and not more heavy batteries. How many ICE car owners even know how many gallons of fuel their tank holds?

Really looking forward/hoping you do a review of the 2023 ID.4, see what differences there are in the US build model (with, I believe, the 3.1 software version). In particular, am interested seeing the charging curve with the 175 kW max charging speed.

[@cordkretzschmar5693]

My Wife and I we choose the EV 6 AWD over the Ioniq 5 because of the Seats. You could find a lower position, wich i like and we could both find a postion we like. In the Ioniq my Wife (1,58m) do not find a good position. I like the fast charging. and the Look. Also for roadtrips in germany heating up the Battery for good charging is no big problem. For roadtrips you will uses the Autobahn and when the Battery goes empty just speed up to the next charger. With 100 mph (160km/h) or more the Battery will be warm enought to charge fast.

[@ezpoppy55]

In late June thru early July 2022, we drove my wife’s 2021 VW ID.4 PRO from Sacramento CA to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon without issue or problem. From there, we drove to Zion National Park. Same: no issue. And from Zion, back to Sac - in one day. EA worked flawlessly. The VW worked flawlessly, even in the very remote areas of northern Arizona and southern Utah. (We did use a ChargePoint in Kanab UT, as there were no EA stations around there.) 1,500 miles all together, in some very remote, off the beaten path roads and byways. In an ID.4 PRO. Two adults, a teenage boy and two dogs. And gear. I’d say that’s pretty impressive.

[@Antiguan_Dart]

Thanks for braving 100 degrees to present this side by side comparison. Really interesting and informative. 👍

[@ezpoppy55]

I just completed a 5,531 mile US road trip in my 2021 Model 3 SR+. Over 13 days of driving (July 10 through July 31, 2022, with family time in Kentucky) from Sacramento CA to Louisville KY and back (with numerous side trips), I drove nearly half what I drive in a year. Shortest daily distance ~300 miles. Longest drive in a day: 650+ miles. Average daily drive ~425 miles. The final analysis: Wow. This is definitely a road warrior vehicle, despite so-called “conventional wisdom,” regarding range. I used 57 charging stops. In all those stops, I only had ONE 5 minute wait to plug in, at Glenwood Springs, CO. One. For 5 minutes. I’ve waited longer in a grocery store line. And that was a small charging station on a major interstate. I drove through and charged in major cities (LA, Amarillo, OK City, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City) and many small towns and wide spots in the road. 72 kW to 250 kW. Typically, I was either the only one there or one of two Teslas. My typical stop was 20-25 minutes. Enough time to have a short walk about, use the bathroom, grab a bottle of water and snack, text family, and then get back on the road (these timely breaks, and the awesome auto pilot, assured I’d be rested and relaxed, even after many hours of travel). I charged on weekdays, weekends, rush hour, nighttime, huge supercharger (50+) or small (4), on the interstate or off some small blue highway… I drove and charged through them all. No cherry picking. (Consider also the local catastrophic climate issues in Kentucky and St. Louis during my trip home, July 26-31.) 57 superchargers. 5,531 miles. 13 days of driving. In July, 2022. One wait. 5 minutes. Starbucks line? Bank lines? Costco gas lines? Holding on the phone? 5 minutes is a piece of cake!! And it was once, out of 57 charging stations. And 5,531 miles of supercharging cost me $522.00. More than charging at home. But far less than the ICE equivalent (2021 330i, RWD BMW), of $900+ at ~33 hwy mpg, premium gas. With no maintenance cost other than wear/tear on tires. I can’t speak for others. But I would say that’s a complete success in my book. Brilliant!

[@RT-rv5be]

57 stops for 20 minutes is 1140 minutes. That's 19 hrs of charging time.

[@ezpoppy55]

@@RT-rv5be Spread over 13 days and 5,500 miles. It wasn’t all at once, Dude. 🤗

[@RT-rv5be]

@@ezpoppy55 That's the issue at hand. 19 hrs of charging over only 13 days. Almost an entire day not moving. At 60 mph average, that's 1140 miles or almost 23 percent of your total trip mileage.

[@ezpoppy55]

@@RT-rv5be Again it was over 13 days. The facts are the facts. All I do is present them. Mind you, I’m driving the poor man’s (or in my case, the retired teacher’s) Tesla. It has the least amount of range. If you’re into cannonball style cross country driving, this may not work for you. But on any given day of this trip, an ICE driver would probably beat me by maybe 30-45 minutes to a set destination each day, if they took bio breaks. If they took no breaks, and had the range to drive 425 miles without stopping (which to me sounds absolutely miserable!!), then they’d beat me by 80 minutes. Remember that the purpose of the trip wasn’t to set a land speed record - it was to see and experience our nation. But, you do you. No one, least of all me, is forcing you to do otherwise. I’m just presenting facts. Not the hyperbole and bs that EVs can’t be driven across the country. They most certainly can! BTW, in my 50 years of driving, I’ve never arrived at any destination - even when I drove like a bat outta hell - to find a gorgeous bikini-clad model, holding a trophy, roses, and one of those super-sized checks, just waiting to plant a big wet kiss on me, “the winner.” Nope. The drive I made was a total blast, and I have a ton of great memories, not the least because of the stops I made to charge. But if others just want to see a blur, tell the family to “hold it!” and get there “first,” well, I’m not stopping them.

[@slee4110]

Thanks for your detailed account of your wonderful trip. I never used cruise control on any previous car and was suspicious of using Autopilot on my MY, but I’ve been extraordinarily pleasantly surprised to find how much less tired I’ve been using it on my initial road trips. Also our pit stops have not been longer than trips in an ICE car: in an ICE car, we parked, used the restroom, got food, then gassed up, no shorter than 30 minutes in total. In the Tesla, park and plug in, and take care of business while charging.

[@david-holmes]

Thanks for the awesome review!

[@65Corvair]

Kyle, I appreciate your reviews and the comparison of the various similar cars. We are on our second EV. First was an i3 as a second car, and then after we bought ebikes and discovered that we really did not need two cars anymore we sold both the EV and ICE car and bought an XC40 P8. One aspect of EV ownership that no one seems to touch on in reviews is the apps that link to the car. One reason we decided it was time to ditch the i3 was the onboard cell phone for connectivity was 3G and there was no practical upgrade path from BMW. One thing I miss with the Volvo app vs the BMW is the ability re see charge history.

[@howardschoenberger3526]

Great video, lots of good info. Kind of surprised you did not mention the paddle regeneration controls on the Ioniq 5

[@anonjones5717]

Hey Kyle. You are absolutely correct that range is not an issue. I've owned a 2022 Polestar 2 dual motor for a month and a half now and took it on a thousand mile road trip from San Francisco to LA and back. The car did excellent. It got slightly better than the stated range of 250 miles because we drove on the pacific coast highway (speeds between 50 and 60 MPH, but I did drive stretches of higher speeds on highway 101). Charged up at EA every 150 miles or so and longest stretch was about 180 miles. The charge speed (if I precondition) hit 153 KW and I was able to charge about 50 KWH in about 30 minutes for the most part (some more and some less). The 30 minutes went by really fast with a bathroom break and a cup of coffee at starbucks. :) It was really fun doing a EV road trip. i wouldn't want to do a ICE road trip unless I need to be somewhere in a hurry and if that were the case, I would fly. Just sharing my first EV experience. FYI, I was going to buy a plug-in Mazda (soon to debut CX70) for my wife, but I am convinced now that we don't need a PHEV. We just don't have range anxiety anymore. I think we will buy her the Honda/Acura BEV when they come out in 2024.

[@1ronEntertainment]

The model y performance has a stiffer suspension than the long range. I believe sometime in 2021 Tesla softened the suspension of the model y and model 3 significantly. This is why the suspension on the 2020 model y shown in the video was incredibly stiff

Thanks for your videos and perspective, I really appreciate it.

I suggest to create a matrix of different categories for car evaluation similar to what you have done for the driver assistance challenge that I have seen in some of your videos. I think people really need to get a sense of what’s like to live with one of these, day to day basic stuff. To me doing a demo of the apps is important, basic infotainment functions demo as well, charging speed actual times from 10-80% maybe, trunk and frunk volume, etc. In other words, demostrare if the specs on paper are accurate or they are not the real thing.

[@bearralofun6223]

I've been fighting my wife's bias against half the brands for an EV. We've had an i4 on order, but with the tax updates, I'm wondering if she can get over our past experience with a VW dealer and the whole "diesalgate" or at least accept the Hyundai has been starting to up the quality and is worth the asking amount of the Ioniq 5. Glad to see the praise for the ID.4, I've been leaning towards that as an option if we don't stick with our BMW plan. Really glad to see the overall comparisons so I can rate what matters to me most in each car.

[@DPsmdg]

I would agree with your wife about "dieselgate." I wouldn't trust a company like Volkswagen that only a few years ago lied to its customers and multiple governments at the expense of everyone's health and the environment. Their true NOx emissions were 40 times worse than their faked emissions testing let on. A brand's history matters almost as much as the spec sheet of its current products.

[@robertkwalz]

I have an ID.4 RWD 2021. I find Kyle to be spot on with his review of the ID4. It just feels right. I drive up and down mountain roads and it chews them up better than an Outback. And it isn't even AWD. I haven't had any issues with the software but my AC condenser hose is currently blocked up and backing up into the cabin.

You talk about MSRP, but the elephant in the room are the additional dealer markups. Some cars are far easier to get at MSRP - others it is nearly impossible. At the end of the day, any one of these cars is pretty decent - it is more a question of what you can actually find without dealer markups and without ridiculous wait times.

I think 2 window switches are genius. I know that I am in the minority, but I never need to worry about inadvertently putting down the back window when I want the front window down. I can't tell you how many times I have put the back window down by accident when approaching a toll booth. So from my perspective, I say "Thank you, VW for the 2 window switches". Nice review. Thank you.

[@thebaysix]

Yes! Absolutely every reviewer criticizes this but you know what, they're always sitting in a parked car when they point it out! I often do that too while driving, and the two buttons only with switch would be a good fix for that.

[@TheCamper83]

You really do a great job! You've found your Niche👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dethpuck]

software 3.1 on ID4 is much better. Hasn't been an issue in the month I have had mine. I agree the cruise haptic button can be a safety concern.

[@optimistdk]

We have the e-tron for 1.5 year now .. its amazing car ! No regrets. I like seats and interiors better than any other car in category.

| Writing from FOCO here as well!! And commuting to laramie, 66 miles each way with ice roads, super wind, working for hours out side in laramie at -20 F easily. Only 2-3 days a week though. Wondering if 80% of their ranges (250 miles for more economic AwD at best) in rough winter weather will be enough, I suspect not. Thoughts on this?

[@christoffermartinsen2124]

would love to see a comparison of the entry level small ev´s

[@bigdi77]

I have the ev6 gt line and I love it but I am looking to trade up to the gt so I can go to the the drag strip to take down some of them old muscle cars

[@Preppygirlsaraxoxo]

Please do a comparison with the entry level models. I purchased a Kona just a few weeks prior to the IRA (as I wait for an ID4) and have been blown away with the range…

[@jwardell]

This is the video to share with normal people who are starting to consider electric SUVs. Just wish you had a graphic comparing OOS/InsideEVs real world range results. It’s still the first question everyone asks.

[@johnkray7352]

2023 ID4 does 170kwh charging, looking forward to seeing if it will actually hit that and for how long.

[@tommesob5099]

You can watch the actual ID5 GTX videos. It does that until around 30%. But sadly Rapidgate is a problem

[@erinmoore6463]

Does the xc40’s heat pump help with conditioning for charging?

[@ronolsberg1468]

I agree the Model Y is very expensive. For the other cars, can you actually get them out the door and into your driveway via the stealerships for the prices quoted in the video?

[@HydraliskX]

Don't downplay the lack of dash/HUD on the Model Y. HUDs are game changers. Owning both an Ioniq 5 and Model Y, it's night and day for the driver's experience. Highly recommend test driving and forming your own opinion.

[@bradh6185]

This is very informative. However, I would like to have heard more on the "utility" part of sport utility vehicle. And it would've been great to hear for sure where VW is at on their software.

[@slyguyaction]

Crazy how I disagree with everything said about the interior of the ID.4. Haha. I own one, all the UI and the mobile app works perfectly and it's wonderful. Haha. Thanks Kyle!

[@User.Joshua]

Yeah, I’ve had mine for two weeks now it’s absolutely perfect. Maybe it’s because I came into this thing with the latest software.

[@slyguyaction]

@@User.Joshua, Even with the software my 2021 shipped with, it’s a fantastic car. I love it

[@robb0995]

It’s a subjective thing, of course, but I gotta say that after my husband bought an ID.4, I completely ruled it out for myself due to its UX. I’m not limiting that just to the software either. The physical controls are awkward to me, from the much maligned 2 window buttons to the capacitive touch everywhere (sorry, Dad, not “haptic”) to the soft buttons right where you want to rest your wrist, etc. But he loves his car, and I couldn’t be happier about that or your fit with yours!

[@kryptorick5120]

The Q4 is remarkably agile. Shortest turning circle of all I believe (with the ID4). Good to maneuver. I think the MY got much improved suspensions late 2021. I wasn't shocked (pun intended) when I test drove it twice recently. The performance model gets much stiffer suspensions though and the car is dropped 2 inches lower to the ground. I would argue there's no reason to go for the performance over the long range. The LR gets plenty of performance already, keep your money :)

[@scottglennon9501]

I have a Tesla Model S 2022 and the range matters to me. I use the car to do road trips. Also, I get free charging when I go into the office, which I generally do once a week. So, the range really helps me.

[@joseluismendoza9916]

How do they compare on level 2? I understand emphasis on DC fast.

[@ourkaravan]

Thanks Kyle for this very valuable video. I enjoy hearing your impressions of each of these cars, particularly since you have back-to-back experience with all of them.

[@ColdSoda1]

Great video Kyle, thank you for the perspective. Fun fact, I took a shot of whisky every time your dad said how tall he is and I was totally drunk by the time he sat in the VW.

[@palusisko]

I love VW but yes there is time for upgrade, the first ID3 is coming with facelift and we can look forward for non-haptic buttons and i believe for 4 buttons for the windows :-) Btw what version of sw did the ID4 have?

You guys need more iX content

[@gtzgabriel98]

Great video! Would be nice though if you added some text on screen just reiterating prices and other stuff you talk about. I find myself rewinding a lot and just being able to read the information at a glance would improve the watch experience

[@cjonesplay1]

The Audi looks great. I drive a Tesla tho. Tesla has the longer History making EV’s. Great Video. Keep up the great work. I would love to see the cheap EV comparison video. Kia Niro, Volvo, and Bolt. It would be a good choice for young college students. They will be the future EV driver’s.

[@angelesperezliano7341]

Muchas gracias por el video. Un saludo

I seen another video on the ID 4 and they held down the rear button for a few seconds till It beeped and then all windows were controlled with one switch.

[@rkgsd]

I hope you'll get access to the 2023 ID4 with the new Pro S Plus trim level.

[@bradleyanderson4315]

The ID4 2023 with the larger battery has a peak 170 kW charging speed.

[@dathes]

I fast charged my 2023 ID.4 (USA) from 9% to 80% in 31 minutes the other day on a road trip with outside temperatures in the mid 40s. Max charge rate was 160kw

[@donnamcdonald5376]

How did you manage that?

[@heymike7037]

Ioniq 5 AWD owner here. I can confirm the AWD version CAN get the same range as the RWD-only version. I suspect the EPA test cycle is done in "normal" mode where the front motor stays connected which would explain the different official ranges. However, if you drive in "eco" mode then as you mentioned the front motor is removed from the drivetrain and the range improves significantly. I have a friend with the RWD version and we've compared notes, our ranges are extremely similar if we both drive in "eco" mode. I'm currently getting much better range than advertised on paper for my car (top of the line Ioniq 5, here in Canada it's the "Preferred AWD with Ultimate")

[@TimothyBaylosis]

what's your lifetime efficiency and how many miles so far? i've only got 500 miles on my AWD and currently sitting at 3.1 mi/kwh. 75% eco mode, 20% standard, and 5% spent at red lights LAUNCHINGGGG. anyways, i'm hoping i can creep it up closer to 3.5 mi/kwh... in order to get 303 mile range, i figure we'd need to get 4 mi/kwh (303 miles divided by 75 usable kwh)...

[@heymike7037]

[@toldroyd1]

EPA Mileage testing uses 55 MPH maximum speed which over states Range for electric powered cars which will usually be going 70-75 on the interstate. Here in Utah, if you are going 75 you WILL be passed. Often by someone giving you the finger. The situation at higher elevations should improve due to less dense air which gives you the effect of superior Areodynamics.
