Electric SUV Shootout: 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs. 2021 Tesla Model Y | Edmunds
The all-electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 enters the growing EV market with a splash. Does it deserve a place on your shopping list? We matched it against a Tesla Model Y Performance to see which electric SUV comes out on top.

I think the issue that would be ran in to with comparing the price is that the Hyundai Ioniq is vulnerable to either sizable dealer markups or dealerships not selling the Ioniq at all. Historically Hyundai has sold less than 16k total EVs in the US. The lack of supply will create an artificial demand that allows the dealerships to pretty much charge as much as they want for the vehicle.
On the other hand Tesla's high price is actually due to too much demand even though they already sell hundreds of thousands of EVs each year in the US. They have been constantly raising the price of all their models to curb demand so they can reduce the wait time for their vehicles.
That being said. I don't see how you have the Ioniq 5 as a better vehicle by a considerable margin after reading all your comments. You had several areas where the model Y had the edge in the comparison.
Lots of disappointed Ioniq5 buyers in Europe: Charging speed in winter no faster 50kW, software full of bugs. No calculation of SOC at destinatiob, no power on outlet while car is charging. Poor bulid quality
I have a ioniq5 but I haven't noticed any bugs or poor building quality at all. I'm from Sweden and life in a colder area but haven't used a supercharger yet. But a lot of disappointed owners and poor building quality surprise me as it has in a lot of test better building quality then id4 and as you can see above tesla y. I can confirm this as a owner.
Yes some things can bother people for example the lack of a rear whiper and totally useless cameras when the weather is snowy but it has nothing to do with the building quality.
What I don't understand is the bootspace. In this test they write it is smaller then the mach E But how can 451 liters mach e vs ioniq5 527 liters be bigger? Sounds odd to me.

Could be like you mention a bit above price quality comparisons. For the money you get a better car with the ioniq 5.
I'm a ioniq5 owner and I could have think about a tesla y if the suspension wasn't spine breaking and if they should have a normal cockpit not this ridiculous iPad in the middle.
But in the longer run and on the second hand market I think you earn that probably back when buying the Tesla.
Edmunds made sure to point out 0-60 times and quarter mile speed. This focus on tenths of a second makes no difference to the real experience of the drive. Every EV is quicker away from the light than every gas car. People who do spend weekends racing at their local drag strip or who make constant cross continent trips, they aren't buying this type of car anyway.
The Tesla and Hyundai are both good cars. The Tesla, however, comes with the unwanted association to the many strident Tesla proselytizers who are easily offended and do get a bit rant-y. You can find them wherever Tesla are mentioned online.
I have Model S now, Ioniq- would be high on my list if changing.
Tesla has issue with build quality that should have been addressed by now, I'm sure the first Ioniqs and EV5 will also.
Warranty isn't mentioned and out of warranty Tesla's don't do well with the range of common faults and recalls. The number of reports of issues on delivery (including our experience) is disappointing.
I hope all the manufacturers all start to move beyond even the 7 year warranty Kia offers- to be true green cars they should all be committing to 10 years.
Electrification is only one part of being green- a car that eats windscreens, CV's heater and other parts repeatedly and at low mileags is not particularly green
Off hobby horse to pay my $10k repair bill on a 5 year/ 27k mile Tesla now
I'm super confused. I'm looking at Tesla's website right now (one day after publication of this article, and no price changes since yesterday announced), and it shows the purchase price of the Model Y Long Range at $58,990 and the Model Y Performance at $63,990. What am I missing here?
Model Y Long Range: 75-kWh battery pack; dual-motor AWD; 350 hp (Edmunds estimate)
Ioniq 5 AWD: 270 mi
Model Y Long Range: 317 mi"
The Tesla gets 17% more range on a battery that's 3% smaller. That's pretty impressive! At least Hyundai's efficiency isn't bad like Volvo's right now. Hopefully they all start doing better; more competition in this area will be great for the consumers!
The only price difference you'll see finally is the federal tax credit that you'll be getting, there is no other comparable price difference between Model Y & Ioniq.
Also there is no comparison between the tech features on Tesla vs Ioniq. Tesla has a much better Auto-pilot feature along with ability to change lanes.
Most of hi-tech features on Ioniq are available only in top trim of Ioniq. Tesla has heated front/rear seats & heated steering wheel. Auto folding mirrors. Rain sensing wipers, Sentry mode, AWD, switch to fold rear seats, etc & the list of features is huge. This is one big reason for me to not go with a Ioniq, Lexus Rx350 or BMW X3/X5.. Most of the cars don't match all this at the similar price point.. & especially not at the mid trims.. you get all these features when you go with top trim on most of these cars - Ioniq, Lexus, BMW..
This review is so BIASED that in the name of tech the only thing mentioned is the screen. there is no mention of safety features or Auto-pilot or anything else for that matter. Every line is starting with a positive spin for ioniq like their range is better than EPA estimate & where they're showing range for all other cars that have range lower than Ioniq but won't show Tesla's range in the same place..
I went to take a test drive on palisade & thought of trying Ioniq but it was out of juice & sales guy felt I might not buy today so he did not even offered me if I can wait for another car. I took 2 test drives on Tesla already of 30 Minutes each & I was still not sure. So I went to take 3rd & 4th drive with my wife. We test drove Model Y & there was a bit of wait in Tesla Model 3 test drive. i was getting a bit antsy, so the sales guy asked me to test drive a Model Y since they drive similar. But I declined & came back but at least I was being treated with respect. I like Tesla sales process much better..
