Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs Kia EV6 vs Tesla Model Y |
Let’s say you’re looking to get into a nice new EV… you want plenty of space, good range, fast charging and you have a decent budget. Well, we reckon that this trio should definitely be on your shopping list.
Today, we’re taking a look at three exceptional SUVs. Two of them are coming out of Korea…the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6. Although both share a huge amount of DNA, especially under the skin, there are some differences between them. But there’s plenty of competition in the market and the Tesla Model Y is establishing itself as a real favourite. So we’re gonna dive into the details and see how these EVs compare. Stick around for the details
So what really separates these three fantastic cars, and why would you buy one over the other? Oh man, we’re going to have to sit on the fence here, because all three cars are just so good!
Price is not a major factor as all three are so close, a mere £2,000 or so separating them. Although you can sacrifice some performance and get the cheaper Single Motor variants of the Hyundai and Kia, that actually have slightly improved range also. The Kia and Hyundai probably have the more premium feel inside, and many will respond to knowing a brand much better than the relatively new Tesla. The ride is also more comfortable, with the Tesla feeling the bumps and ramps more.
For many, the efficiency of the Tesla, coupled with the incredible Supercharger network wins out. Especially if you regularly drive long distances, there really isn’t a better road tripper. The integration of the app with the car is also superb.
For some people, space and practicality will be more important. In that case, the Tesla is much bigger, with a huge frunk also.
