Hey everyone,

I want to buy a Hyundai Ioniq but torn between the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 models. Can anyone provide insights or comparisons between the two? What are the key differences in terms of performance, features, and overall driving experience? I’m looking for a reliable electric vehicle that balances style, efficiency, and technology. Any personal experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi!

When it comes to price, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 are neck and neck.

The base model of both cars is around $41,500, and the top-of-the-line Limited trim starts at $52,600.

As for reliability, we don’t have a predicted score for either car yet.

But Hyundai does offer a longer-than-average five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty and an excellent 10-year, 100,000-mile battery/electric drivetrain components warranty for both models.

Both the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 can seat up to five passengers comfortably.

They come with cloth upholstery, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and heated front seats.

If you want a bit more luxury, you can opt for ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and synthetic leather.

The Ioniq 5 has a bright and spacious cabin with a minimalist design. It offers more headroom than the Ioniq 6, but less legroom.

So if you’re tall or have long legs, you might find the Ioniq 5 more comfortable.

In terms of design, the Ioniq 5 has a sharp, modern look that packs in luxury and features for its price.

The Ioniq 6, on the other hand, has a unique style that’s great for aerodynamics, but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

I hope this helps!

entirely different kinds of cars. Ioniq 6 feels much more constrained; tiny trunk, etc. Choose the Ioniq 6 if you are by yourself, don’t mind trunk space, and range is crucial. Conversely, the Ioniq5 is an SUV. Large passenger and trunk space. Much greater sense of openness within. But a little less range because of the increased wind resistance, at least on highways.
