Electric Vehicle Performance

Both the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6 are fully electric vehicles that use electric motors to power the vehicle and are charged up via electrical charging stations either in public or if you've installed one in your home with the help of an electrician. Each vehicle comes with rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options, while the Hyundai IONIQ 5 just edges out the Kia EV6 in rear-wheel drive horsepower with 168 horsepower to its 167 horsepower. Both offer 225-horsepower engine options as well as rear-wheel drive choices depending on the model you pick. The same goes for the all-wheel drive options which give you 320 horsepower.

Electric Driving Range and Charging Time

You can find standard and long-range batteries on the IONIQ 5 and EV6, ranging from 58-kWh to 77.4-kWh. With a 240-volt connection, each will take around six hours to charge from 10 percent to 100 percent, while DC fast charging options can go from 10 to 80 percent in an estimated 18 minutes in some cases.

The IONIQ 5 standard range battery gets 220 miles while it rises up to 303 miles with the extended range option on rear-wheel-drive choices. All-wheel drive versions get around 266 miles of charge. The Kia EV6 manages slightly better numbers, but, we're confident that the Hyundai IONIQ 5 makes up for it in other areas.

Interior and Cargo Space

The Hyundai IONIQ 5 holds an advantage with its interior. It's simple yet comfortable and offers features like a movable center console that slides 5.5 inches forward and backward so you can get more space where you need it. One feature that we know everyone will love is the Relaxation Mode. When the vehicle is stopped, or you are at a charging station, the front driver's seat can recline all the way back and even has a footrest come out from under the seat to give you the ultimate comfort.

In terms of overall size, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is nearly four inches longer than the Kia EV6 by wheelbase, which gives the front driver and passenger seats more room to spread out. The IONIQ 5 also has more headroom and shoulder room, while offering 27 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 59 cubic feet of space when those rear seats are folded down, which is more than the Kia EV6.

Technology and Safety

Both vehicles offer a similar lineup of technology and safety features. You can find touch display options, a digital instrument cluster, smartphone integration, Wi-Fi options as well as many driver alerts and safety features for a confident drive.
