Hyundai with the Ioniq 5 has created one of the best EVs. for sale. But according to Reid, the Kia EV6 could be better than the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
It should be noted that this is not an apples-to-apples comparison between the KIA EV6 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This is because the Ioniq 5 model tested is an entry-level model with a 170 hp electric motor and a 58 kWh battery pack. While the KIA EV6 model tested is the GT-Line model and has a larger 77.4 kWh battery pack. This makes the KIA EV6 tested which means it has a range of almost 100 miles further than the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
From the interior, the Ioniq 5 unlike other Hyundai models, has innovative features such as a sliding center console and glove image, rather than the usual glove box.
