While the Ioniq 5 is blocky and vaguely retro (it's loosely inspired by the 1970s Hyundai Pony hatchback), the EV6 has a sleeker, more modern look. The ground clearance of the Model Y is 167mm compared to the Ioniq 5’s 160mm. At the same time, it also has slightly more ground clearance although not by much.
Ioniq 5 vs model y software#
Ioniq 5 is criticized for many software bugs in Germany, showing errors and having to be soft rebooted over and over. From the back, the Model Y also appears bigger, with the top bottom of the rear window visibly higher. Granted, Ioniq 5 is more 'premium tech' feel than Model Y. The Kia EV6 also uses the E-GMP platform, but with some very different styling choices. If Ariya can corner the 'premium' feel cabin in the non-luxury segment, that might be a better fit for me than the Ioniq 5s 'tech' cabin. The automaker has also said the E-GMP platform will feature 800-volt charging hardware, and will be capable of bi-directional charging, allowing them to discharge electricity to power devices or tools. Of course, the Model Y has a performance variant that can hit. The Long Range and Performance offer 330 and 303. The Ioniq 5s AWD platform can go the same task in just 5.2 seconds, which is on par with Tesla.

That should help support Hyundai's previous claim of a 10% to 80% charge in 18 minutes for the United States-spec Ioniq 5. While both of these EVs offer great range, the Model Y is the clear winner here, with as much as 279 miles of range with the base model. Yes, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV is cheaper, but it's also a size smaller. Edmunds says that its build quality, ride comfort, and approachable tech makes the Hyundai the new king of the mountain. It places individual battery cells in direct contact with a cooling plate, allowing for very rapid cooling during fast charging, Miller said. At 40,925 to start, the Ioniq 5 undercuts the Model 3, Mach-E, and ID4 while being more than 20,000 cheaper than a Model Y. At 58,990, the base Model Y is more expensive than even the top trim Ioniq 5. That's partly down to the new cooling-system design of the Hyundai E-GMP modular EV platform. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs 2023 Tesla Model Y: Has Tesla Finally Met Its Match After dominating the EV space for the last few years.
