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.

[@david-holmes]

Thanks for the awesome review!

[@ahmadsiddiqui13]

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.

[@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.

[@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]

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 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.

[@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

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?

Thanks for your videos and perspective, I really appreciate it. One factor about pricing, the Tesla may have the most expensive starting price BUT you pay the advertised price whereas the others may have a lower starting MSRP but in the current market dealers are asking for premiums well above MSRP for e.g. buyers of Hyundai Ionic 5 are paying $5K, $10K or even $15K above MSRP here in California due to the demand and lack of inventory.

[@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.

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.

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.

My Brother-in-law. Showed me his Hyundai Ionic EV which he purchased 2 days before. He plans on charging it using his solar panels as he currently has quite a bit of excess electricity. The local electric company in California pays him for it but not at the rate they normally bill for. He says it is practically free as a result. He will be using some of that excess electricity in the future to water his grapes (his well is dug but not plumbed yet) but even then it will be less than feeding his car gasoline. He says that if they need to travel farther than the range, they will use their Prevost motorhome as they did the last time they visited us.

The Model Y RWD just came into the configurator, priced around 50K euro. At that price with that range and features, it must be the best value of all these cars.

[@FluffyGoat91515]

Love the video. Would love to see a range test on the Model Y and Mach-E, in varying weather conditions, elevation, and driving style (for efficiency reasons). I'd also want to know how the Model Y compares to the Mach-E on the CCS networks via an adapter (Model S Plaid too perhaps?).

[@dethpuck]

Awesome comparison. I own a 2022 id4. Software 3.1 is pretty good responsive haven’t noticed any major bugs so far in almost a month of ownership.

[@alexanthony5642]

My Model Y Performance gets about 280 at 100%, but it’s rated at 300 miles. I also have a heavy foot and leave Sentry mode on, run AC a lot. Also check how much tires are to replace! Lol!

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)...

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.

[@vxnova1]

Tesla today is 50k then with 7500 rebate makes them much more competitive, Essentially 43k plus destination tax etc,

[@dannyed42]

I think it’s important not to use MSRP Price. Most of these cars you can’t even get. Then dealers are marking them up and if you follow the market they are all creeping up in price. At this point it is virtually impossible to get a EV under $50,000. I had a Mach E that I got for a Steal but I’m trading it for a Tesla. Although Tesla is more expensive it’s still the best EV on the road. And if you look online all those cars are 50k and up none are selling at MSRP

[@Cakebattered]

I live in New England. ID.4 and Ioniq 5 can be had for under $50k, and for MSRP. The EV6 and Mach-e are in the lowest supply here and most likely to have dealer markups. Along the Boston - DC corridor, the Tesla Supercharger Network offers no real advantage over CCS.

[@dwightpalmer9730]

For me the best value is the best quality. I've looked at all these cars and ordered a Model Y. Best charging network, best software, best updates, and best overall quality. Worth the difference as peace of mind is priceless.

[@michaelwozniak1951]

Just an FYI, the ioniq 5 has a preconditioning system that has to be above 20 percent and you have to use the built in maps system to navigate to the charging station to start the preconditioning

[@sergiosaukka]

I've tested several eCars but after drinking the Ionic 5 I've got failed in love 💕. It's more than a car it's a spaceship 🚀 AND very environment friendly 🌱 as many others that I drove, second place I would choose the Tesla model Y and model S. All the others like Audi Q4, VW ID 4 und Skoda Eniak I would say they belong in the second level.

[@eeee3202]

I'm 6'1" and long legged compared to torso similar to the gentlemen in the video. I sat in a Ioniq 5 and found that horrific in comfort. I did sit in a co workers Mach-E select AWD and that was pretty comfortable. I haven't sat in a GT, but out of all of those, the Mach-E GT would be the winner for me. I like the styling, performance. Although that said co worker, had problems with range at launch. They had to do updates a few times to figure out why the car wouldn't go over 100 miles.

[@christoffermartinsen2124]

[@stevedowler2366]

Hey wait a minute! I like the looks of the Tesla because it doesn't look like it's trying to be an ICE car with a big grill when the low and wide scoop is sufficient. Yes, there are so many of them on the road that my friend is right to call them "the people's car" (like Volks Wagen) and he wants his car to stand out from the crowd. But I want my car to be so common that there is almost no town in America where you can't get a tire rotation or a charge (eventually). But I get your point about range, most people only need enough to get to work and back and they even charge at work. Us retired bums go from home to a bunch of National Parks or to our friends in Ashland Oregon from the SF Bay Area (387mi, 6 1/2 hrs, 2 charge stops) all the time and like the longer range of the Model Y. I'd be happy with the Ioniq 5 in the work environment so I do like your lean toward it. Cheers and drive safely.

[@SirDiesAlot89]

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.

Now that Tesla RWD is $44K ($60K CAD) and hopefully the software issues have been fixed for ID4 and others, could you do another run through please?

[@georgev5766]

I’ve been looking to buy an EV for the past 3 months. Looked at the Ioniq 5, the Kia ev6, the mustang and the Tesla model 3. Although the ford and Hyundai products “start” at $40k, it’s almost impossible to get one at MSRP and if they have it at all. The Hyundai dealer near me didn’t even let me to test drive it and marked it up by $10k. Went to the Tesla service center near me and the salesperson let me test drive the model 3 (even though the website said no test drives) and was super helpful. Even let me play around with a model s plaid. So… guess what I ordered… you got it! Tesla model 3. No weirdness. Plus the charging infrastructure and resale value.

[@Byjhbkbhjk]

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…

[@doublejackmcleod9931]

What a great comparison of same-segment EV's. Super helpful. Thanks!

Great Video. Just an update on the new ID.4 2022 with the 3.1 update. It gets to a peak of 174kw, actually till 23%. And around 150 till 45% Then comes down. I have seen 105 till 60%. You should do a test.

[@WayApp]

Thank you for the comprehensive comparison and clear explanations.👍

[@jmucbear]

This video is such a fantastic resource but feels like it needs a quick written update in the description now that a Y and ID.4 cost the same.

[@trex1448]

Ioniq 5. Best design in and out. Super comfortable and tons of space. Charges super fast. I plug in to EA charger and leave in 15 minutes to 80% while the mustsng, vw, bmw are plugged in forever.

I used to do the same thing with the armrest in the ID.4 I had before selling it for my EV6. I hated the armrests... I think the 2023 model is a big improvement there.

[@lets.go.places2gether]

I have the Tesla Model 3 LR and love every moment of driving it. My biggest factor why I chose a Tesla over the other EV was simply the easy and fast Tesla Supercharger availabilities while traveling (although I dont travel a whole lot, I do 2-3 times a year and that simply sold me). Wouldnt trade for any other EV (but the Kia EV6 looks quite exquisite and that would be my second choice).

[@gregp.7148]

Great comparison review, thanks! I’m in the market for one of these EVs.

[@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 :)

[@joevwgti.]

I'm only 5'11", and I'd agree, the Tesla model y seat doesn't go low enough for me. Suppose I could always replace the rails(stilts) it's on, just odd.

Only in the US could a Model Y be called a small SUV. Barely fits in an average UK parking space.

When I got my Model 3 in 2018, not a single one of these vehicles was available, including the XC40, or the Bolt EUV. It's fantastic. Now we need the people working on charging to hit the accelerator, both numbers and reliability (yes I watched your video on the subject).

[@godofdun]

IIRC the ID.4 is getting faster charging at 170kw for the 2023 model year, it might beat the Mach E now if the charging curve is as gently sloped as before.
