For months now I’ve been torn between buying a Model Y and buying one of Hyundai’s Ioniq models. Today I pulled the trigger and bought my first EV, an Ioniq 6 SEL. Overall I just felt like I was getting more car for the same price. I’m absolutely blown away at how much Hyundai has turned their brand around compared to 5 years ago. The 5 year 60k mile bumper to bumper and the 10/100k battery with two years free charging and 3 years free maintenance is what ultimately sold me. But dang if those Tesla seats aren’t the most comfortable things in the world.
Yeah, it’s a tough call. Comes down to your priorities. For me, the non-liftback design is a deal breaker. I’d rather sacrifice range, especially when the Ioniq brand has amazing charging speeds.
The Ioniq 5 has a large and wide liftback door, with a larger cargo area than a similar shaped body such as VW Golf. There’s also a small storage space when you lift the cargo floor too.
