I driven both. I felt like I’d be sold half a car when I sat in the Tesla. I want a couple of dials so I don’t need to be pressing screens all day. I’ve grown out of fart noises.
I tried both and bought the Ioniq 5 which is now in my hands. Have to disagree on a couple of points. I personally much prefer the interior of the Ioniq 5 and also much prefer having the screen in front of me showing speed, regen, safety features etc. It is no at all blocked by the steering wheel. This review didnt even show things like the blind spot cameras that show up when you indicate. The display that shows all the cars around you when driving on the motorway so you know exactly where the other cars are, all on a convenient display in front of your face!
I totally agree, I also ordered the Ioniq 5 and loved the interior way better than the model 3 (which felt like a bit of a toy to me) I love the 2 displays in the Ioniq and prefer the display IN FRONT of me (more natural and safer to me)
@@JesusisKing2000 cheap interior and bad software on the Ioniq 5? Have you ever been in one? The interior is much better than the Tesla and the software is great. I didnt buy a car so it had built in fart noises or to play the witcher, i want to be able to see the speedo and safety displays in front of my face
The Ionic 5 is a larger, higher car than model 3 should rate the difference of Model Y and Ionic 5 as these are the real competitors. Model 3 and Iconic are two different cars
Yeah ionic 5 even sightly cheaper than model 3 hands down win. He should compare more driving experience to model y, not to a sedan model 3. Model y then is way pricier so ionic 5 wins in my opinion
@@scottlee4664 there are motorcycles in that price range too, doesn't mean they should be compared. It would make more sense to compare like-featured vehicle, compact SUVs, or crossovers against each other, i.e. Model Y vs Ioniq 5
The Ioniq 5 is actually in between the M3 and MY, since the latter is even bigger. I cross shopped between the three. Would have preferred the MY, but here in the NL it costs >€70k (with trailer hitch and advanced Autopilot). Full spec Ioniq 5 was €58k (RWD, including tow hitch and panoramic roof, glass coating, extra rubber mats, etc). Model 3 LR was even more expensive than that, and the sedan style boot just wouldn't work for us. But I think as an EV maker, Tesla are far superior, especially with efficiency, software and charging infrastructure. Plus they are ramping up capacity so quickly it will leave the others in the dust.
@@bilgyno1 But Tesla also has a huge problem with quality control. I know two people with teslas and both owners had their new cars in for problems within the first few months. Hyundai has one of the best warranties in the business.
Think you're one of the very few people that said the interior materials and displays are not as good. Tesla looks super cheap and feels it. Ioniq 5 looks so much more premium
only on the outside. ioniq's interior honestly has to be the worst looking interior of any EV so far which is sad to say because its exterior is one of the best looking and most refreshing of any car currently available
Currently driving m550 xdrive (don’t get the 20 in rims, 4 blow s tires in 14 months from crappy Texas roads) and wife cayenne s, got a 3 lr 3 weeks ago. Minimalism but not cheap. Boosted for 2 k and now almost as quick as the 5.
Test drove the Ioniq 5 premium yesterday and in my mind it's a far better/nicer car than the Tesla. The 3 is looking dated now let's be honest, they are the new BMW so I'll be getting the Hyundai.
I'm not sure why you bothered to do this video. The presenter did almost nothing to hide his preference for the Tesla from the outset, so the choice was already made. I would go for the Hyundai, only because I need to carry longer items and have seen nothing to suggest the Tesla could do this (almost no-one measures the length behind the front seats in reviews, it's all about volume, which most ordinary people don't think about about, only car reviewers).
I really like the design language of the Ioniq 5, the flexible interior and the head-up display. The efficiency is not the best and the infotainment is lacking a little bit. But Because the look and feel of the Ioniq is so refreshing and, to me, very attractive, i chose to order the Ultimate trim RWD back in may. Picking it up today and I have never been more excited about an object. All in all, i think Hyundai deserves alot of credit for doing something different.
@@powderkings1411 I still wouldn't have bought a Tesla. I've been hugely disappointed with their quality control and service. I've known 4 people who have bought either a M 3 or a M Y and all of them have needed to go in for service within a few months of buying them. That's unacceptable for a car in their price range. I'm still waiting for my Ioniq 5. Placed reservation in May. However, I won't pay more than 2K over MSRP. I'd rather keep waiting or buy something like an ID4, but I'm not in a hurry either.
Does anyone think the Tesla's are becoming overpriced here in the UK? I've had a face-lifted Model 3 for the last 6 months, but it has a very hard and non-compliant ride which wasn't so apparent during my test drive. I guess I was blown away by the fiercest acceleration I'd ever experienced! Common sense, and my bruised and battered bottom, has now prevailed so I've ordered a replacement - the Ioniq 5. Guess I'm just getting older but I know I'll prefer the softer and more comfortable ride.
Top trim/fully loaded EV6 awd costs just about 60K euros here. Base Model Y costs 64 K, while one equipped with color, nicer wheels and enhanced autopilot costs well over 70 grand. Clrearly a premium brand price.
I don´t agree. The car suspension of Teslas are tested so bad, you are hopping along on bad roads. The drive of the Ionic 5 is relaxed, more comfortable and the quality of the interieur is much better and more ecological. Been an older person (I drove the both cars) I had no back pain getting out of an Ionic 5, but a very bad night after crawling out of the Model 3......lol
I get the impression the reviewer has spend more time in TM3s than in the I5. I own an I5P45, but did drive TM3s on several occasions. To me the build quality and material use are still better in the I5. The panels he touches while stating that there are hard plastics in the Hyundai, are actually all soft touch materials. And although the TM3 may have a bigger booth according to whatever standard, it ultimately still is a sedan/saloon that lacks the practicality of the I5. Something to keep in mind when you have a young family, or need to move around larger objects.
Yeah I wonder which trim he tested the materials in, the top spec Ioniq feels great. The feeling in the Ioniq with white interior is amazing in my view and I think the Tesla is the one lagging behind the Hyundai in that department.
I think the boot comparison is a bit flawed. Yes, the Tesla has a surprisingly large boot. But in the Ioniq 5 you can roll up the cover (or take it out) and keep stacking. Plus you can slide the rear seats a bit forward for even more space.
I would choose the Hiundai over the Tesla, the Tesla is a nice car, but now they all look the same, and not a fan of having an I-pad in the centre console, far too minimalist, it might have the speed compared to the Hyundai, but how often are you going to to that speed ?
@UCHOdMtZjIkpnpAAemecux0A I'm not saying it's a bad car, in fact, if it wasn't for tesla, we wouldn't have so many choices right now, it's just that it's not on my list, I have on order a Kia EV6
I disagree with the boot space comparison, if you are to look at the practicality, the seats in the Ioniq can be moved quite far forward and still leave lots of leg-room for passangers in the back. which would leave more space for luggage. Not to mention the more practical boot opening. Bjørn Nyland does his "banana box" tests. In which the model 3 could hold only 6 banana boxes in the boot, that's including the underfloor compartment, which would be 7 with the frunk. The Ioniq 5 could hold 11 in comparison. (which makes sense since the Ioniq has the bigger boot. The same test shows that with the seats folded, the model 3 holds 17 boxes (16 in boot/backseat +1 in frunk), while the Ioniq 5 could hold 25 boxes with the seats folded (which is not far from the amount the tesla model X (28boxes) could hold in the same test). The Ioniq5 wins that battle hands down.
I did cross shop these two cars and test drove both within three days of each other, I went for the Tesla as it had the bigger battery, was quicker and NZ$10,000 cheaper than the Hyundai IQ5. More than happy with my Tesla M3 RWD, good charging speed and 400+km of range.
I tested the Kia eNiro, Ioniq 5, ID.3 and the Model 3 in Summer and settled on the Model 3 SR+. The Ioniq 5 was also OK, but felt a bit cumbersome in town and the 58KWh version (which I would have been able to afford) just had too high consumption..so despite it's fast charging it just has to charge too often. Also, the really cool features on the Ioniq all require the top level trim, while Tesla offers most of the as standard. One issue with the Tesla though, is that the Software isn't well suited for Europe/Germany yet with many features either not working or not working wel at the moment. I am hoping that will change next year though...
Ioniq 5 is a fantastic car, fantastic the only issue is the lack of rear wiper on the screen this isnthe only dissatisfied think! Nothing else, amazing car!
Test drove the model 3 performance recently, and it’s 0-60 was SO fast. But i don’t think i could ever justify the price tag. I’ve still to test drive the Ionic. I love the colour scheme in the video of the ionic, and that it’s a hatchback, with more interior space. I think I’d be more likely to go for the ionic….
Test drive both, and both were excellent. Something about the Ioniq 5 just really grabbed me. Probably a combination of styling, features and interior space. Also, the car park at work is full Model 3’s.
I also test drove both cars recently. There are things about both cars that I like and dislike. At this point, it does come down to personal preference. Outside of Ioniq 5 really grabbed me. But I still liked the inside feel of M3. I was surprised that the single middle screen on the side of M3 didn't bother me at all (which was one of the biggest concerns I had about not having the traditional gauge cluster, but 1 hour of test drive and I didn't miss it). I liked the 2nd row seating in I5, but found the moving center part in front a bit odd. Also, some of the buttons (including gear stock) felt bit out of place.
This is the wrong comparison. Should have been with the Model "Y" which starts at £55K Not a fan of Tesla's crashy ride. Nor its absence of physical buttons which is potentially a safety issue.
For me, the TESLA is no match for the Ioniq 5 looks inside an out, build quality, warranty, practicability, you want power, the EV6 GT with 575hp, will fit the bill.
I drove the Ioniq 5 and it was practical, comfortable and good. I drove the Model 3 Performance and it made me smile. The compromise was the Model 3 LR. Sod the kids.
Wast majority of buyers of this kind of cars are mostly interested in comfort and practicality of a car, not how fast they accelerate and how the front end feels on twisty roads. For me the Ioniq is the clear winner with it's hatchback tail, more spaceious interior, longer range and fast charging. Buy a sportscar or motorcycle if you want fun. However, if you tested the model Y, then it would be a different story I guess. BR from Sweden
Well I don't really think you are right. I have swapped my BMW for a Model 3, mainly because of how it drives and how sporty it feels - it really does drive amazing
@@biker_marinator5696 I think you’re underestimating the amount of people who enjoy driving. I don’t love the styling of the Tesla but I’d probably choose it for the handling and the superchargers.
@@biker_marinator5696 No they might not care, but I think more than you initially think really enjoy it. I have seen people go from VWs, Qashqais and other snoozing cars, to just plain love their Tesla for the speed and way it drives
@@peakproofuk The supercharger network is superior and could be a reason for me to buy an Tesla. But from the practical point of view there are other brands and models that are better. I have owned at least 20 different BMW and 5-6 Porsche’s, then I discovered that motorcycles are much more fun. Now I drive VW Golf to get around.
my main reason for not chosing the M3 is the sedan type. Can not put a dog or stuff with any height in the boot. It might take many liters but its hard to use. Would like the quality of the Ionic and the warrenty.
Ordered the Ioniq 5, way more car, way more space, love the displays, love the interior... Once I saw the sad little trunk hole of the M3... it was over and out for the Tesla. I'm spending my money on a gorgeous practical car !
Great video! I know at least three people who really wanted the Ioniq 5 and ultimately ended up placing an order for the Model 3 due to the lack of proper charging infrastructure in the US and UK. I cannot believe how car manufacturers still haven't figured out that charging infrastructure needs to be the #1 priority to sell these vehicles. Consumers need to be able to reliably charge the car as easily as they can fuel up at gas stations. It doesn't matter how much cooler, faster, or better the actual vehicle is over the Model 3 unless you're able to conveniently charge it. It feels like auto manufacturers in both the US and Europe are just waiting for their governments to install public charging facilities to push EV sales and piggyback on that. But nothing's happening on that front (even with the new bills that passed). Almost all Chargepoint public charging stations in the US are either really slow or out of order half the time, making them extremely unreliable. Until the charging infrastructure for EVs dramatically improves, Tesla will continue dominating the market because of their widespread and highly reliable Supercharger network.
you forgot the fact they don’t really want to sell EVs ^^ it would not be very good for business if suddenly the EV equivalent were more useful than the ice cars… IVe only heard about Rivian, Polestar and Nissan creating their automaker charging network for the moment (ionity doesn’t count imo because VW was obliged to install it after the diesel gate and they didn’t give a sh*t about it. Even Dies said it was bad)
Dude, you're wrong on a number of issues. First, the ioniq 5 hasn't been officially released in the US. We don't even have official pricing yet. Second, different parts of the US have much better charging infrastructure like in California. Third, a federal bill was recently passed to install 100,000 chargers nationwide and they won't be the slow versions either. Fourth, Tesla announced a few months ago that they are opening their charging network to non-Tesla vehicles.
I find it annoying that Hyundai don't offer the full glass roof like the Tesla. I know that glass roof is available for Ionic 5s in Korea and the states so why not in the uk?
Honestly, the interior is streets ahead in the Ioniq 5, plus having smartphone connectivity. The minimalist approach of the Tesla, plus not being able to run my own phone apps? Total deal breaker.
Do you think Tesla doesn't have smartphone connectivity? What planet are you living on? And how are those two 12" displays with massive bezels "streets ahead"?
I'm surprised the TM3 came out on top. A head scratcher for me is that the world is moving to Crossovers and the Ioniq5 is much more in that styling dynamic with a higher seating position and more usable cargo space. And let's not forget that Hyundai build quality and design are now world class and have been for some time. Tesla quality ratings are consistently poor but I do understand the attraction and cool factor of the Tesla. Unfortunately EV's and their price points are still "lifestyle" vehicles. The regular working stiff can't afford many of these which is a shame.
Depends on if you're buying or leasing. Leasing an electric is pretty affordable: I'm picking up an Ioniq 5 in April. I'm not dirt poor but neither am I particularly wealthy.
Test drove the Ioniq 5 two weeks ago, the steering wheel will not come towards me (nowhere near enough) it needed another 4 inches at least of movement, so it was a dealbreaker. I am 6,3, will be ok for shorter people...........it prevented me from being able to rest my right arm on the door armrest while driving as my arm was completely straight out holding the wheel.
I currently have a 2-year-old top trim Hyundai Kona EV and it is a great car with good efficiency and performance, though a little on the small side. Prior to purchase, EV offerings were limited. Tesla Model 3 had just been released in the UK. At the time, I felt the Model 3 was technically a better car compared to the Kona EV for many of the reasons you mention in your video, but Tesla had QA issues, and the closest service centre was a 30-mile drive. Whereas my Hyundai dealer is a 2-minute walk. I intend to replace my Kona next year. The Hyundai Ionic 5 Ultimate AWD and Tesla model Y Long Range are on my short list, but it is a difficult choice. I still feel Tesla's are technically better than Hyundai's, especially with regards software and charging infrastructure, but Tesla prices have risen significantly, plus I am concerned about Model Y's ride. Hyundai rushed the release of Ioniq 5, so it ended up with a smaller large battery compared with the Kia EV6, its efficiency is poor compared with the Kona, plus its performance can drop significantly after rapid charging until the battery cools. The latter sounds like poor battery management software. So, still undecided, or wait for the Ionic 5 2023 model!
i honestly dont think that the model 3 is a rival. the inside of the Tesla is so boring and limited, where as the I5s tech is just outstanding. also the customer service and build quality of the Teslas are still 2nd rate.
Have you driven a Tesla yourself? I wouldn't call the interior "boring", I'd call it minimalist. You don't need a hundred displays and dials in your face when the car is making most of the decisions for you. It mentally offloads a lot of the trivial decision-making and lets you focus on driving without needing to constantly know random info about the vehicle. Agreed on the service issues and build quality problems though, Teslas are notoriously bad for this.
@@BackfallGenius I've driven 13 electric Cars, and I love Tesla's tech, but I find their interiors shallow and bare. Too much focus on the tablet, and not enough ease of use. I've driven a BMW 640D gran coupe for 4 years, Heads up display and the full package, so I never need to take my view off driving to check what speeds I'm doing. We are at a point now where Tesla's ain't the industry standards as before. Others have caught up, and some have surpassed Tesla. My next drive will be the BMW I4, and the new iX next week. I've driven 3 Tesla's, 3,S and X.
Why are channels on youtube comparing these two cars.. Comparing a saloon with an SUV?? It's like saying "Mini E vs Jaguar I Pace" You should be comparing it to the Model Y. Oh wait, the Model Y is £15-20k more expensive, for a similar offer to the Ioniq 5
Hi, you SAY that the model 3 has a bigger boot but the text displayed at the same time shows that the Hyundai has a considerably bigger boot. Which one is correct?
I saw the Hyundai at the supermarket..it was parked next to my BMW X1 and it was the same size or maybe even bigger! Surprised to learn that the boot is quite small for a car that size...
@@mmjose76 you can technically put more stuff in the ioniq than in the Model 3 but it will impede your view through the back window. Personally I prefer the shape of the ioniq as it's much easier to put big stuff in if you need to fold the seats down (you won't be able to fit a bicycle in one piece in the Tesla but you could in the ioniq). The bootsize could've indeed been much bigger though if they decided to not put in a false floor but then you'd end up with quite a big load lip in a taller car which to most people is not really ideal.
I can't seem to match your TESLA price from their website. Blue is 1,000 extra, white interior is 1,000 extra, fsd 10,000, plus if you read their FAQ---you can activate the heated steering wheel and backseat--but it's extra. It would have been nice to list the breakdowns for each car. The IONIC 5 top-of-the-line comes out less than this Tesla----63,000 for the car you show.
1 thing I would like to know is repair costs and times. with tesla depending on the damage it could be months before getting a new car whereas with the ionic we'll just have to wait and see. visually the ionic looks futuristic while the model 3 looks sleek
I drive a kona repair was good. The battery set had to be replaced after 3 years factory error. Hyundai has 5 year guarantee. The upside was they had spare car instantly free of charge no hassle
Prefer the look of the Ioniq I would not have a Tesla as a present for two other reasons. A friend of mine has had nothing but trouble with his Tesla. Hyundai have a far bette reputation for reliability also that 'cinemascope' screen inn the Tesla is obscene! I really don't need a tv size screen in any car I own.
If you are a typical buyer who keeps the car 1-3 years full autopilot isn't future proofing as it won't be available in that time frame in the UK . I'm countries with more sensible , clearly marked and maintained roads maybe but not the UK
Not a mad comparison, as I had both cars on my list. Surprised at the tesla boot coming out as more practical. In the real world you're not going to lug just carry-on cases. It's not a starter for dogs, and would have problems with large boxes. I love the look of the Ioniq 5, and the fact it has a hatch, and the size inside. The disappointing thing is that it's just so darn big. This video is the first where you can see them side by side. This means that it's harder to park and/or closer to other cars.... which on a £40k+ car is a worry... is someone gonna bash your car. The size also affects efficiency. Here the Tesla is the clear winner, and combined with the supercharger network makes it a winner for longer trips. If you can fill up at home and/or have known places where you can charge, then charging is not an issue, but efficiency will affect your total bills. I plumped for a Model 3 LFP, as the Mrs went for a Corsa e to carry the dogs. If I want to nip to the supermarket then I'll take the corsa, cos even the Tesla's a bit bigger to park than the Corsa. Both cars put a big smile on your face when driving. The Corsa / Peugeuot e 208 seems to be good value compared to many new EVs. It can be got for nearly half the £ of either of these cars, and even though it's marginally less efficient, it will take a looong time to get the difference back. Also of note on the Corsa are the matrix headlights, and the sound quality of the Media system. Okay it's only wired Apple Carplay / Android Auto, but that probably is a bit-rate improvement (i.e. SQ improvement) compared to wireless. The SQ is better so far than it is on the model 3, but that has been only via bluetooth so far. If Hyundi / Kia made something that looks like an Ioniq 5, but was a similar size to a Golf... then that would have been the Mrs car. If the Ioniq 5 had vehicle to grid then I might have taken that instead. Every current EV is a compromise. Get the one that works for 90% of your journeys. Like someone said maybe hire a van for the long trips. Whatever you get, you'll love it. And you won't be going back to ICE.
The Model 3 is looking quite dated now and the face-lift changes are frankly pathetic. The design is bland both inside and out. The battery efficiency, superior acceleration and charging network are what keep it ahead of the competition. They could do with employing some decent stylists.
You forgot to mention the really bad build quality of Teslas. Even with great build quality, i'd still pick up the Ioniq though, overall a better EV definitely, the TM3 is way too empty inside.
Would it not be greener and more economical to insist the world just drives 1.0 petrol cars? That’s got to be easier and cheaper than creating the electric infrastructure? I’d love to know that answer?
All the camerawork looks a bit more vibrate-ey in the Tesla, and there's more audible thunks. Love Tesla but the Model 3 should get a complete NVH overhaul.
Tesla model 3 looks dated and is not eye catching simply old . It might be technically advanced but I prefer the looks of Ioniq5 instead of the froggy looking Tesla model 3 besides Tesla is a saloon not a crossover 🤦
where i'm from all trim levels of the Ioniq 5 have leather/soft touch door panels from the armrest upwards. looks like in the UK some trim levels come with plastic ones. nevermind if the leather is real or from recycled material - but it's nice and soft to the touch.
The Model 3 doesn't have the FSD either. 🤡 By virtue of just being a hatchback, the Ioniq 5 already wins. Love the frunk of the 3, but you're just more likely to use it because of difficulty getting stuff into the trunk.
Why did you compare the base trim vs. the SR+? The SEL Ioniq 5 is the fair comparison based on pricing. The one area Hyundai could do better is making the panoramic roof standard on the SEL instead of only offering it on the top Limited model.
Well to start with EV’s are priced way above what they should be. But there is a reason for that. Anyhow the Hyundai for the money is a much better investment than the Tesla. So I will purchase the Hyundai when it comes to the U.S. key word when. Also this comparison looked to be one sided from the start. Next video don’t make it so obvious.
Definitely the Ioniq 5. More interior space, an instrument panel, and standout styling. I see far too many older professionals driving a Tesla ---- getting an image like Mercedes or Opel.
Putting aside price, for me the Hyundai wins on exterior styling, the Tesla on pretty much everything else - though a hatchback would have been preferable!
The Ioniq 5 interior is better, more flexible, and there is more space. The rear seating position of the Tesla is ridiculous compared to the Tesla. Just look at the guys leg position in the Tesla. Half of his thigh is not even touching the seat.
ioniq 5, all day everyday ... you can say one car does some things better than the other all day ... but in the end, the 5 is the best all around package and hits where it counts ... sorry, tesla fan boys, you guys think you're 5 years ahead, you're not. Credit to tesla for breaking down the wall for EV's but they've been caught and, in some areas, surpassed ... and I'm glad alternatives have finally arrived ... you can keep your fart noises.
I have to agree. the only thing that ages in teslas is the exterior design, interior is timeless. they need bar lights for the head and rear i think that's what they're missing
Of these 2 cars my choice is the Ioniq 5. Tesla does everything better but I want the additional room, want the faster charge speed as these charging stations will start appearing. I am only interested in RWD 77.4kwh coming to Canada. Design is hand down way more appealing to me. I just won't do a Tesla, the Model 3 is just too common but I agree it's a great EV but too minimalist inside and the screen is not for me but tech wise and efficiency wise it's better. However in the 1000km challenge by BN the Ioniq 5 placed well. Soon as I saw it when it was first shown I said that's what I am buying. I hope the test drive lives up to what I am wanting otherwise it will be dual motor Polestar 2 for me w Performance Pack
My Previous car costed £22k new, my wage only increased around 10% in the last 3 years, it makes no sense to waste £46k on a Car even if it was running on Wind power only 💨 To add insult to Injury my Current car has more Space, More Ground clearance and has 800 miles range which means spending 2.5 Months without thinking about range or forced to do unnecessary Stops
I want to be able to drive a car in which I can safely concentrate on driving and have dials and switches that I can see and feel without taking my eyes off the road. I don’t want to be distracted with an out of line of sight touch screen or voice commands if I am listening to the radio or having a conversation with a passenger. Definitely not a Tesla with that its ghastly interior. Ioniq5 is much better especially with a head up display, and happy to sacrifice 4wd for extra range. [ If I want an iPad and talk to Siri or Alexa I’ll buy them and watch car reviews and turn lights on and off (or whatever) from the comfort of my armchair at home. ]
When I’ve seen other reviewers put the Ioniq5 up against its sister car the Kia EV6…..the KIA comes out on top. So maybe interesting to see the Kia go up against the Tesla Model 3.
I have heard from so many that screen showing features in Ioniq 5 is blocked by steering wheel. Is that true? It is visible at 3:15 and i doubt it is not true..... Any personal experience here to give a correct view on it.
I driven both. I felt like I’d be sold half a car when I sat in the Tesla. I want a couple of dials so I don’t need to be pressing screens all day. I’ve grown out of fart noises.
Hello how you doing
I tried both and bought the Ioniq 5 which is now in my hands. Have to disagree on a couple of points. I personally much prefer the interior of the Ioniq 5 and also much prefer having the screen in front of me showing speed, regen, safety features etc. It is no at all blocked by the steering wheel.
This review didnt even show things like the blind spot cameras that show up when you indicate. The display that shows all the cars around you when driving on the motorway so you know exactly where the other cars are, all on a convenient display in front of your face!
Unfortunate the display feels like something from 20 years ago… it’s so outdated and cluttered. But it does look great on the outside :)
So you prefer a cheap interior? And bad software?
And he doesn't mention the movable center console.
I totally agree, I also ordered the Ioniq 5 and loved the interior way better than the model 3 (which felt like a bit of a toy to me) I love the 2 displays in the Ioniq and prefer the display IN FRONT of me (more natural and safer to me)
@@JesusisKing2000 cheap interior and bad software on the Ioniq 5? Have you ever been in one? The interior is much better than the Tesla and the software is great.

The Ionic 5 is a larger, higher car than model 3 should rate the difference of Model Y and Ionic 5 as these are the real competitors. Model 3 and Iconic are two different cars
They are in the same price range. Model y is more expensive.
Yeah ionic 5 even sightly cheaper than model 3 hands down win. He should compare more driving experience to model y, not to a sedan model 3. Model y then is way pricier so ionic 5 wins in my opinion
@@scottlee4664 there are motorcycles in that price range too, doesn't mean they should be compared. It would make more sense to compare like-featured vehicle, compact SUVs, or crossovers against each other, i.e. Model Y vs Ioniq 5
The Ioniq 5 is actually in between the M3 and MY, since the latter is even bigger. I cross shopped between the three. Would have preferred the MY, but here in the NL it costs >€70k (with trailer hitch and advanced Autopilot). Full spec Ioniq 5 was €58k (RWD, including tow hitch and panoramic roof, glass coating, extra rubber mats, etc). Model 3 LR was even more expensive than that, and the sedan style boot just wouldn't work for us.
But I think as an EV maker, Tesla are far superior, especially with efficiency, software and charging infrastructure. Plus they are ramping up capacity so quickly it will leave the others in the dust.
@@bilgyno1 But Tesla also has a huge problem with quality control. I know two people with teslas and both owners had their new cars in for problems within the first few months. Hyundai has one of the best warranties in the business.
Think you're one of the very few people that said the interior materials and displays are not as good. Tesla looks super cheap and feels it. Ioniq 5 looks so much more premium
only on the outside. ioniq's interior honestly has to be the worst looking interior of any EV so far which is sad to say because its exterior is one of the best looking and most refreshing of any car currently available
Currently driving m550 xdrive (don’t get the 20 in rims, 4 blow s tires in 14 months from crappy Texas roads) and wife cayenne s, got a 3 lr 3 weeks ago. Minimalism but not cheap.
Boosted for 2 k and now almost as quick as the 5.
Been in the Ioniq, it feels incredibly cheap
There's no way you said that. Tesla's interiors look very premium and feel it. The Ioniq 5 looms cheap and clunky with all the buttons
@@a-don13 not sure if just a large screen in the middle is a stellar look if your saying the tesla interior is nicer
Test drove the Ioniq 5 premium yesterday and in my mind it's a far better/nicer car than the Tesla. The 3 is looking dated now let's be honest, they are the new BMW so I'll be getting the Hyundai.
I'm not sure why you bothered to do this video. The presenter did almost nothing to hide his preference for the Tesla from the outset, so the choice was already made. I would go for the Hyundai, only because I need to carry longer items and have seen nothing to suggest the Tesla could do this (almost no-one measures the length behind the front seats in reviews, it's all about volume, which most ordinary people don't think about about, only car reviewers).
Get a model Y then.
I really like the design language of the Ioniq 5, the flexible interior and the head-up display. The efficiency is not the best and the infotainment is lacking a little bit. But Because the look and feel of the Ioniq is so refreshing and, to me, very attractive, i chose to order the Ultimate trim RWD back in may. Picking it up today and I have never been more excited about an object. All in all, i think Hyundai deserves alot of credit for doing something different.
Let us know how it is,waiting for mine .
Enjoy it! It looks just fantastic
Congrats. Still waiting in the USA. We don't even have official pricing yet.
Waited months for mine. When it showed up they tried to charge me $10k more. Bought a Model 3.
@@powderkings1411 I still wouldn't have bought a Tesla. I've been hugely disappointed with their quality control and service. I've known 4 people who have bought either a M 3 or a M Y and all of them have needed to go in for service within a few months of buying them. That's unacceptable for a car in their price range.
I'm still waiting for my Ioniq 5. Placed reservation in May. However, I won't pay more than 2K over MSRP. I'd rather keep waiting or buy something like an ID4, but I'm not in a hurry either.
Does anyone think the Tesla's are becoming overpriced here in the UK? I've had a face-lifted Model 3 for the last 6 months, but it has a very hard and non-compliant ride which wasn't so apparent during my test drive. I guess I was blown away by the fiercest acceleration I'd ever experienced! Common sense, and my bruised and battered bottom, has now prevailed so I've ordered a replacement - the Ioniq 5. Guess I'm just getting older but I know I'll prefer the softer and more comfortable ride.
Top trim/fully loaded EV6 awd costs just about 60K euros here. Base Model Y costs 64 K, while one equipped with color, nicer wheels and enhanced autopilot costs well over 70 grand. Clrearly a premium brand price.
They are very expensive here in UK,maybe they will get cheaper when they start making them Germany but for now it’s just too much.
Tesla interior is so freaking ugly, Outside is just meh/basic. Ioniq 5 inside is awesome, and outside is just so awesome.
Yes. So it is.
I don´t agree. The car suspension of Teslas are tested so bad, you are hopping along on bad roads. The drive of the Ionic 5 is relaxed, more comfortable and the quality of the interieur is much better and more ecological. Been an older person (I drove the both cars) I had no back pain getting out of an Ionic 5, but a very bad night after crawling out of the Model 3......lol
I get the impression the reviewer has spend more time in TM3s than in the I5. I own an I5P45, but did drive TM3s on several occasions. To me the build quality and material use are still better in the I5. The panels he touches while stating that there are hard plastics in the Hyundai, are actually all soft touch materials. And although the TM3 may have a bigger booth according to whatever standard, it ultimately still is a sedan/saloon that lacks the practicality of the I5. Something to keep in mind when you have a young family, or need to move around larger objects.
Exactly. The boot storage on the I5 is flexible because you can move the rear seats forward and you can remove the cover to stack items higher.
Yeah I wonder which trim he tested the materials in, the top spec Ioniq feels great. The feeling in the Ioniq with white interior is amazing in my view and I think the Tesla is the one lagging behind the Hyundai in that department.
And yet, overall the M3 ist still the better EV. 🤷♂️
Bro,if you move large items you rent a van
What are you even attempting to say? The Tesla still has more space and he gave the specs
He is a liar. Material quality is higher than M3!
I think the boot comparison is a bit flawed. Yes, the Tesla has a surprisingly large boot. But in the Ioniq 5 you can roll up the cover (or take it out) and keep stacking. Plus you can slide the rear seats a bit forward for even more space.
yes, as usual biased reporting.
Yeah, I totally agree on that one. Didn't get that part.
I might be the only one but the Model 3 looks better than the Ioniq 5. To be fair, these are not competitors.
Why are you comparing it to the Model 3 and not the Model Y?
Ikr.model3 is sedan while i5 is compact suv.smh
Price. Model Y is significantly more expensive
I would choose the Hiundai over the Tesla, the Tesla is a nice car, but now they all look the same, and not a fan of having an I-pad in the centre console, far too minimalist, it might have the speed compared to the Hyundai, but how often are you going to to that speed ?
@UCHOdMtZjIkpnpAAemecux0A I'm not saying it's a bad car, in fact, if it wasn't for tesla, we wouldn't have so many choices right now, it's just that it's not on my list, I have on order a Kia EV6
Dumb comparison. Tesla model 3 is a sedan and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a cross over SUV. Why not compare it with the Model Y?
The hyundai is clearly the winner here by a green mile.The hyundai looks fresh coupled with legendary reliability.A clear winner
I disagree with the boot space comparison, if you are to look at the practicality, the seats in the Ioniq can be moved quite far forward and still leave lots of leg-room for passangers in the back. which would leave more space for luggage. Not to mention the more practical boot opening. Bjørn Nyland does his "banana box" tests. In which the model 3 could hold only 6 banana boxes in the boot, that's including the underfloor compartment, which would be 7 with the frunk. The Ioniq 5 could hold 11 in comparison. (which makes sense since the Ioniq has the bigger boot. The same test shows that with the seats folded, the model 3 holds 17 boxes (16 in boot/backseat +1 in frunk), while the Ioniq 5 could hold 25 boxes with the seats folded (which is not far from the amount the tesla model X (28boxes) could hold in the same test). The Ioniq5 wins that battle hands down.
Hello how are you doing
I did cross shop these two cars and test drove both within three days of each other, I went for the Tesla as it had the bigger battery, was quicker and NZ$10,000 cheaper than the Hyundai IQ5. More than happy with my Tesla M3 RWD, good charging speed and 400+km of range.
I tested the Kia eNiro, Ioniq 5, ID.3 and the Model 3 in Summer and settled on the Model 3 SR+. The Ioniq 5 was also OK, but felt a bit cumbersome in town and the 58KWh version (which I would have been able to afford) just had too high consumption..so despite it's fast charging it just has to charge too often. Also, the really cool features on the Ioniq all require the top level trim, while Tesla offers most of the as standard.
One issue with the Tesla though, is that the Software isn't well suited for Europe/Germany yet with many features either not working or not working wel at the moment. I am hoping that will change next year though...
For me the hyundai got the win.
Imo the Ioniq is totally crushing the M3
Ioniq 5 is a fantastic car, fantastic the only issue is the lack of rear wiper on the screen this isnthe only dissatisfied think! Nothing else, amazing car!
I think the ev6 has that rear wiper. Though it's not as cool looking.
Test drove the model 3 performance recently, and it’s 0-60 was SO fast. But i don’t think i could ever justify the price tag. I’ve still to test drive the Ionic. I love the colour scheme in the video of the ionic, and that it’s a hatchback, with more interior space. I think I’d be more likely to go for the ionic….
Same here,test drive it last week but the price is just too much.
The LR really is the pick of the range, fast, premium but far better value.
Why the performance? can't you get a cheaper version? Maybe even the Model Y LR
@@williamhuang2780 it’s the whole Tesla price tag,it’s too much even through salary sacrifice it’s still a lot .
@@williamhuang2780 Y LR is about £54k in the UK. I need to test drive the other options and see what works best for me, at the right price
I need my physical knobs for temperature! Thanks Hyundai.
Hello how you doing
Test drive both, and both were excellent. Something about the Ioniq 5 just really grabbed me. Probably a combination of styling, features and interior space. Also, the car park at work is full Model 3’s.
I am between the two cars and finding it difficult to choose
I hear you. I ordered the awd ioniq 5. I can’t wait, but it’s going to take a while, since it’s a factory order
It’s full of m3’s for a reason… :-)
I also test drove both cars recently. There are things about both cars that I like and dislike. At this point, it does come down to personal preference. Outside of Ioniq 5 really grabbed me. But I still liked the inside feel of M3. I was surprised that the single middle screen on the side of M3 didn't bother me at all (which was one of the biggest concerns I had about not having the traditional gauge cluster, but 1 hour of test drive and I didn't miss it). I liked the 2nd row seating in I5, but found the moving center part in front a bit odd. Also, some of the buttons (including gear stock) felt bit out of place.
The 3 series for the 2020s. Yawningly everywhere as its dynamically the best.
This is the wrong comparison. Should have been with the Model "Y" which starts at £55K
Not a fan of Tesla's crashy ride. Nor its absence of physical buttons which is potentially a safety issue.
Hello how are you doing
@@bensonthomas2339 Good. How's the herpes?
@@powderkings1411 I'm Jenny tinna by name were are you from
In this market (Canada) the price differential is much wider. The M3 is not a viable proposition for median income families where the Ioniq 5 is.
Hello how you doing
Ioniq 5 is better package
I think the Tesla is starting to look dated now, or it might be because it’s beside the other car?
Hello how you doing
I like the looks of the Ioniq 5 and that's the one I'd prefer.
For me, the TESLA is no match for the Ioniq 5 looks inside an out, build quality, warranty, practicability, you want power, the EV6 GT with 575hp, will fit the bill.
Have you been inside an Ioniq5? The quality of the buttons, handles etc is quite bad
And there will be a Ioniq 5 N high performance model released next year.
I drove the Ioniq 5 and it was practical, comfortable and good. I drove the Model 3 Performance and it made me smile. The compromise was the Model 3 LR. Sod the kids.
Wast majority of buyers of this kind of cars are mostly interested in comfort and practicality of a car, not how fast they accelerate and how the front end feels on twisty roads. For me the Ioniq is the clear winner with it's hatchback tail, more spaceious interior, longer range and fast charging.
Buy a sportscar or motorcycle if you want fun.
However, if you tested the model Y, then it would be a different story I guess.
BR from Sweden
Well I don't really think you are right. I have swapped my BMW for a Model 3, mainly because of how it drives and how sporty it feels - it really does drive amazing
@@DeeKay1911 BMW and Porsche and probably AUDI owners are an exception.
Do you honestly think that Toyota, VW, Nissan, Ford, Skoda etc. owners care?
@@biker_marinator5696 I think you’re underestimating the amount of people who enjoy driving. I don’t love the styling of the Tesla but I’d probably choose it for the handling and the superchargers.
@@biker_marinator5696 No they might not care, but I think more than you initially think really enjoy it. I have seen people go from VWs, Qashqais and other snoozing cars, to just plain love their Tesla for the speed and way it drives
@@peakproofuk The supercharger network is superior and could be a reason for me to buy an Tesla. But from the practical point of view there are other brands and models that are better.
I have owned at least 20 different BMW and 5-6 Porsche’s, then I discovered that motorcycles are much more fun. Now I drive VW Golf to get around.
my main reason for not chosing the M3 is the sedan type. Can not put a dog or stuff with any height in the boot. It might take many liters but its hard to use. Would like the quality of the Ionic and the warrenty.
Ordered the Ioniq 5, way more car, way more space, love the displays, love the interior... Once I saw the sad little trunk hole of the M3... it was over and out for the Tesla. I'm spending my money on a gorgeous practical car !
Hyundai has a winner on it's hand. With the Ioniq 3 and 7 coming out in the next few years Tesla may be in for a bumpy ride.
That's just the stiff suspension. But yea. LOL
Great video! I know at least three people who really wanted the Ioniq 5 and ultimately ended up placing an order for the Model 3 due to the lack of proper charging infrastructure in the US and UK.
I cannot believe how car manufacturers still haven't figured out that charging infrastructure needs to be the #1 priority to sell these vehicles. Consumers need to be able to reliably charge the car as easily as they can fuel up at gas stations. It doesn't matter how much cooler, faster, or better the actual vehicle is over the Model 3 unless you're able to conveniently charge it. It feels like auto manufacturers in both the US and Europe are just waiting for their governments to install public charging facilities to push EV sales and piggyback on that. But nothing's happening on that front (even with the new bills that passed). Almost all Chargepoint public charging stations in the US are either really slow or out of order half the time, making them extremely unreliable. Until the charging infrastructure for EVs dramatically improves, Tesla will continue dominating the market because of their widespread and highly reliable Supercharger network.
you forgot the fact they don’t really want to sell EVs ^^ it would not be very good for business if suddenly the EV equivalent were more useful than the ice cars… IVe only heard about Rivian, Polestar and Nissan creating their automaker charging network for the moment (ionity doesn’t count imo because VW was obliged to install it after the diesel gate and they didn’t give a sh*t about it. Even Dies said it was bad)
Tesla is opening the supercharger network to other EVs.
Should be less of an issue once that's implemented in your area.
Dude, you're wrong on a number of issues. First, the ioniq 5 hasn't been officially released in the US. We don't even have official pricing yet. Second, different parts of the US have much better charging infrastructure like in California. Third, a federal bill was recently passed to install 100,000 chargers nationwide and they won't be the slow versions either. Fourth, Tesla announced a few months ago that they are opening their charging network to non-Tesla vehicles.
I find it annoying that Hyundai don't offer the full glass roof like the Tesla. I know that glass roof is available for Ionic 5s in Korea and the states so why not in the uk?
Honestly, the interior is streets ahead in the Ioniq 5, plus having smartphone connectivity. The minimalist approach of the Tesla, plus not being able to run my own phone apps? Total deal breaker.
Do you think Tesla doesn't have smartphone connectivity? What planet are you living on? And how are those two 12" displays with massive bezels "streets ahead"?
I'm surprised the TM3 came out on top. A head scratcher for me is that the world is moving to Crossovers and the Ioniq5 is much more in that styling dynamic with a higher seating position and more usable cargo space. And let's not forget that Hyundai build quality and design are now world class and have been for some time. Tesla quality ratings are consistently poor but I do understand the attraction and cool factor of the Tesla. Unfortunately EV's and their price points are still "lifestyle" vehicles. The regular working stiff can't afford many of these which is a shame.
Cars are luxury,"the working class" dont need them
@@UnipornFrumm the working class need to increase the value of their labour. That’s up to them how they do it.
Depends on if you're buying or leasing. Leasing an electric is pretty affordable: I'm picking up an Ioniq 5 in April. I'm not dirt poor but neither am I particularly wealthy.

@@UnipornFrumm "Cars are a luxury, "the working class" doesn't need them." I guess you live in the city.
A Tesla Model White, just like everybody else or the cool EV that turns heads and makes a decent pot of tea? I'll take the cool EV and the tea kettle.
Test drove the Ioniq 5 two weeks ago, the steering wheel will not come towards me (nowhere near enough) it needed another 4 inches at least of movement, so it was a dealbreaker. I am 6,3, will be ok for shorter people...........it prevented me from being able to rest my right arm on the door armrest while driving as my arm was completely straight out holding the wheel.
Hey how you doing
That's weird. Other tall reviewers have never had that issue. Maybe you have abnormally short arms for a 6' 3" dude. 🙂
I currently have a 2-year-old top trim Hyundai Kona EV and it is a great car with good efficiency and performance, though a little on the small side. Prior to purchase, EV offerings were limited. Tesla Model 3 had just been released in the UK. At the time, I felt the Model 3 was technically a better car compared to the Kona EV for many of the reasons you mention in your video, but Tesla had QA issues, and the closest service centre was a 30-mile drive. Whereas my Hyundai dealer is a 2-minute walk. I intend to replace my Kona next year. The Hyundai Ionic 5 Ultimate AWD and Tesla model Y Long Range are on my short list, but it is a difficult choice. I still feel Tesla's are technically better than Hyundai's, especially with regards software and charging infrastructure, but Tesla prices have risen significantly, plus I am concerned about Model Y's ride. Hyundai rushed the release of Ioniq 5, so it ended up with a smaller large battery compared with the Kia EV6, its efficiency is poor compared with the Kona, plus its performance can drop significantly after rapid charging until the battery cools. The latter sounds like poor battery management software. So, still undecided, or wait for the Ionic 5 2023 model!
Hello how you doing
I would like to have the Ioniq5.. even though maybe 5 years later.. i think the design of this car will never get old..😍
The Tesla interior is terrible.
and it rattles in no time
i honestly dont think that the model 3 is a rival. the inside of the Tesla is so boring and limited, where as the I5s tech is just outstanding. also the customer service and build quality of the Teslas are still 2nd rate.
Have you driven a Tesla yourself? I wouldn't call the interior "boring", I'd call it minimalist. You don't need a hundred displays and dials in your face when the car is making most of the decisions for you. It mentally offloads a lot of the trivial decision-making and lets you focus on driving without needing to constantly know random info about the vehicle.
Agreed on the service issues and build quality problems though, Teslas are notoriously bad for this.
@@BackfallGenius I've driven 13 electric Cars, and I love Tesla's tech, but I find their interiors shallow and bare.
Too much focus on the tablet, and not enough ease of use.
I've driven a BMW 640D gran coupe for 4 years, Heads up display and the full package, so I never need to take my view off driving to check what speeds I'm doing.
We are at a point now where Tesla's ain't the industry standards as before. Others have caught up, and some have surpassed Tesla.
My next drive will be the BMW I4, and the new iX next week.
I've driven 3 Tesla's, 3,S and X.
Why are channels on youtube comparing these two cars.. Comparing a saloon with an SUV?? It's like saying "Mini E vs Jaguar I Pace"
You should be comparing it to the Model Y. Oh wait, the Model Y is £15-20k more expensive, for a similar offer to the Ioniq 5
Hello how you doing?
Much better ioniq5! Korean quality and guarantee!
Hello how are you doing ?
5 years here in Belgium ! Ioniq wins hands down !
It's the Ioniq 5 all the way, also your on your own when the interior is concerned, it makes the Tesla look tatty.
Hi, you SAY that the model 3 has a bigger boot but the text displayed at the same time shows that the Hyundai has a considerably bigger boot. Which one is correct?
Basically he showed the stats which fills the entire boot from floor to roof but he only seems to consider the bootspace as floor to shelf
@@stijnhs So, for all practical purposes, the model 3 has a bigger boot ...correct?
I saw the Hyundai at the supermarket..it was parked next to my BMW X1 and it was the same size or maybe even bigger! Surprised to learn that the boot is quite small for a car that size...
@@mmjose76 you can technically put more stuff in the ioniq than in the Model 3 but it will impede your view through the back window. Personally I prefer the shape of the ioniq as it's much easier to put big stuff in if you need to fold the seats down (you won't be able to fit a bicycle in one piece in the Tesla but you could in the ioniq). The bootsize could've indeed been much bigger though if they decided to not put in a false floor but then you'd end up with quite a big load lip in a taller car which to most people is not really ideal.
@@mmjose76 ...the backseats of the Ionic move forward to give you more boot space if you needed it. Plus it's a hatchback and hence higher !!!! !
I 5 as can't bear the dull as ditchwater scraping the ground blob shaped impractical non-hatch of a T3.
Hello how are you doing
I can't seem to match your TESLA price from their website. Blue is 1,000 extra, white interior is 1,000 extra, fsd 10,000, plus if you read their FAQ---you can activate the heated steering wheel and backseat--but it's extra. It would have been nice to list the breakdowns for each car. The IONIC 5 top-of-the-line comes out less than this Tesla----63,000 for the car you show.
Hello how are you doing
One of the biggest factor is charging, you can have a car with 1000 miles range but the closest changer station is 50 miles away!?
Well thank goodness Tesla is opening up it's supercharger network to other EVs
1 thing I would like to know is repair costs and times. with tesla depending on the damage it could be months before getting a new car whereas with the ionic we'll just have to wait and see. visually the ionic looks futuristic while the model 3 looks sleek
Hello how you doing
I drive a kona repair was good. The battery set had to be replaced after 3 years factory error. Hyundai has 5 year guarantee. The upside was they had spare car instantly free of charge no hassle
Prefer the look of the Ioniq I would not have a Tesla as a present for two other reasons. A friend of mine has had nothing but trouble with his Tesla.
Hyundai have a far bette reputation for reliability also that 'cinemascope' screen inn the Tesla is obscene! I really don't need a tv size screen in any car I own.
Hello how you doing
Exactly. With the Ioniq you'd be getting a car that is built to a higher standard than the Tesla, and also has a superior warranty should you need it.
If you are a typical buyer who keeps the car 1-3 years full autopilot isn't future proofing as it won't be available in that time frame in the UK . I'm countries with more sensible , clearly marked and maintained roads maybe but not the UK
Hello how are you doing
I’d have the Ionic 5 in a heartbeat over the Tesla
Not a mad comparison, as I had both cars on my list. Surprised at the tesla boot coming out as more practical. In the real world you're not going to lug just carry-on cases. It's not a starter for dogs, and would have problems with large boxes.
I love the look of the Ioniq 5, and the fact it has a hatch, and the size inside. The disappointing thing is that it's just so darn big. This video is the first where you can see them side by side. This means that it's harder to park and/or closer to other cars.... which on a £40k+ car is a worry... is someone gonna bash your car. The size also affects efficiency.
Here the Tesla is the clear winner, and combined with the supercharger network makes it a winner for longer trips. If you can fill up at home and/or have known places where you can charge, then charging is not an issue, but efficiency will affect your total bills.
I plumped for a Model 3 LFP, as the Mrs went for a Corsa e to carry the dogs. If I want to nip to the supermarket then I'll take the corsa, cos even the Tesla's a bit bigger to park than the Corsa. Both cars put a big smile on your face when driving. The Corsa / Peugeuot e 208 seems to be good value compared to many new EVs. It can be got for nearly half the £ of either of these cars, and even though it's marginally less efficient, it will take a looong time to get the difference back. Also of note on the Corsa are the matrix headlights, and the sound quality of the Media system. Okay it's only wired Apple Carplay / Android Auto, but that probably is a bit-rate improvement (i.e. SQ improvement) compared to wireless. The SQ is better so far than it is on the model 3, but that has been only via bluetooth so far.
If Hyundi / Kia made something that looks like an Ioniq 5, but was a similar size to a Golf... then that would have been the Mrs car.
If the Ioniq 5 had vehicle to grid then I might have taken that instead.
Every current EV is a compromise. Get the one that works for 90% of your journeys. Like someone said maybe hire a van for the long trips.
Whatever you get, you'll love it. And you won't be going back to ICE.
The Model 3 is looking quite dated now and the face-lift changes are frankly pathetic. The design is bland both inside and out. The battery efficiency, superior acceleration and charging network are what keep it ahead of the competition. They could do with employing some decent stylists.
and some physical buttons :)
You forgot to mention the really bad build quality of Teslas. Even with great build quality, i'd still pick up the Ioniq though, overall a better EV definitely, the TM3 is way too empty inside.
Hello how you doing
Would it not be greener and more economical to insist the world just drives 1.0 petrol cars? That’s got to be easier and cheaper than creating the electric infrastructure? I’d love to know that answer?

Hello how are you doing
All the camerawork looks a bit more vibrate-ey in the Tesla, and there's more audible thunks. Love Tesla but the Model 3 should get a complete NVH overhaul.

Tesla model 3 looks dated and is not eye catching simply old .
It might be technically advanced but I prefer the looks of Ioniq5 instead of the froggy looking Tesla model 3 besides Tesla is a saloon not a crossover 🤦

where i'm from all trim levels of the Ioniq 5 have leather/soft touch door panels from the armrest upwards. looks like in the UK some trim levels come with plastic ones.
nevermind if the leather is real or from recycled material - but it's nice and soft to the touch.
wth no reviewers mention warranty, quality and longevity?

Ioniq 5: you can plug your toaster in the wild
Model 3: fart noises go brrrrpppo
The Model 3 doesn't have the FSD either. 🤡
By virtue of just being a hatchback, the Ioniq 5 already wins. Love the frunk of the 3, but you're just more likely to use it because of difficulty getting stuff into the trunk.
Hey how you doing
The Model 3 has autopilot as standard which works on highways only. I agree the Model Y would have been a better comparison.
I have sat in the ionic 5 for an hr. didn't notice any 'cheapness', infact the opposite my friend.
Why did you compare the base trim vs. the SR+? The SEL Ioniq 5 is the fair comparison based on pricing. The one area Hyundai could do better is making the panoramic roof standard on the SEL instead of only offering it on the top Limited model.
Well to start with EV’s are priced way above what they should be. But there is a reason for that. Anyhow the Hyundai for the money is a much better investment than the Tesla. So I will purchase the Hyundai when it comes to the U.S. key word when. Also this comparison looked to be one sided from the start. Next video don’t make it so obvious.
Definitely the Ioniq 5. More interior space, an instrument panel, and standout styling. I see far too many older professionals driving a Tesla ---- getting an image like Mercedes or Opel.
Hello how you doing
The Tesla looked dated next to the Ioniq 5.
I'd pick Ioniq 5... it looks taller and more like SUV/hatchback, Tesla looks shorter and sports-car/sedan...
Putting aside price, for me the Hyundai wins on exterior styling, the Tesla on pretty much everything else - though a hatchback would have been preferable!
I’d be interested in the Y but again price is the issue. They don’t even offer the 2WD version, unlike the Model 3
rapid charging? styling? V2L out of the bag? Decent range? ... Tesla is better on some things, the 5 is the better overall package.
@@hieroglyph321 note I did say "for me".....
this is the correct answer
The Ioniq 5 interior is better, more flexible, and there is more space. The rear seating position of the Tesla is ridiculous compared to the Tesla. Just look at the guys leg position in the Tesla. Half of his thigh is not even touching the seat.
Sedan v hatchback. This wouldn’t happen withe ICE car comparisons so why here ?
Testing a compact saloon Vs a compact crossover...... High quality car reviews!

ioniq 5, all day everyday ... you can say one car does some things better than the other all day ... but in the end, the 5 is the best all around package and hits where it counts ... sorry, tesla fan boys, you guys think you're 5 years ahead, you're not. Credit to tesla for breaking down the wall for EV's but they've been caught and, in some areas, surpassed ... and I'm glad alternatives have finally arrived ... you can keep your fart noises.
😂😁👍
Lmao.
Sure
I’ll have a Tesla that looks like the ionic5 please.
Hello how you doing ?
What colour is the Ioniq5 in this video?
For the Ioniq5 I love the retro styling but not the ultra-modern price
U need to take into consideration the govt incentives with the ioniq that the teslas aren't eligible for... at least In Canada
The Model 3 does look old by comparison. Still a great EV though.
I have to agree. the only thing that ages in teslas is the exterior design, interior is timeless. they need bar lights for the head and rear i think that's what they're missing
Of these 2 cars my choice is the Ioniq 5. Tesla does everything better but I want the additional room, want the faster charge speed as these charging stations will start appearing. I am only interested in RWD 77.4kwh coming to Canada. Design is hand down way more appealing to me. I just won't do a Tesla, the Model 3 is just too common but I agree it's a great EV but too minimalist inside and the screen is not for me but tech wise and efficiency wise it's better. However in the 1000km challenge by BN the Ioniq 5 placed well. Soon as I saw it when it was first shown I said that's what I am buying. I hope the test drive lives up to what I am wanting otherwise it will be dual motor Polestar 2 for me w Performance Pack
Hello how you doing
My Previous car costed £22k new, my wage only increased around 10% in the last 3 years, it makes no sense to waste £46k on a Car even if it was running on Wind power only 💨
To add insult to Injury my Current car has more Space, More Ground clearance and has 800 miles range which means spending 2.5 Months without thinking about range or forced to do unnecessary Stops
Hello how you doing
I want to be able to drive a car in which I can safely concentrate on driving and have dials and switches that I can see and feel without taking my eyes off the road. I don’t want to be distracted with an out of line of sight touch screen or voice commands if I am listening to the radio or having a conversation with a passenger.
Definitely not a Tesla with that its ghastly interior. Ioniq5 is much better especially with a head up display, and happy to sacrifice 4wd for extra range.
[ If I want an iPad and talk to Siri or Alexa I’ll buy them and watch car reviews and turn lights on and off (or whatever) from the comfort of my armchair at home. ]
Hello how are you doing
EV efficiency is an overrated Stat. People care about range for a given price.
Why compare a sedan against a CUV? are these similarily priced or featured trims?
Need a Yoke to see the driver display! My Model 3 is the only car I’ve driven where this isn’t a problem!
Hello how you doing
How come the Ionia with much bigger boot volume fits less cases?
Hello how are you doing
buying an Ioniq 5 . You didn't mention towing which rules out the model 3 for us.
Hyundai has come a long way to be a close second best to Tesla at this price point 👍
Hello how you doing
The ioniq 5 is better.
Looks like Doug / Whatcar is sponsored by Tesla...
I would go for the Tesla model 3 or a Y
When I’ve seen other reviewers put the Ioniq5 up against its sister car the Kia EV6…..the KIA comes out on top. So maybe interesting to see the Kia go up against the Tesla Model 3.
Hello how you doing
Drove both on Saturday. Every member of the family preferred the Ionic to the EV6. Ionic's by far the best family car.
@@scariedad interesting, we did a similar thing a few weeks back and we preferred the Kia!
Number one reason to go for the Ioniq: it's not a Tesla.
Reviewer has not noticed that Ioniq 5 is a hatchback so has far more luggage capacity and more flexibility than the Tesla 3. What a numpty!
I have heard from so many that screen showing features in Ioniq 5 is blocked by steering wheel. Is that true? It is visible at 3:15 and i doubt it is not true..... Any personal experience here to give a correct view on it.
Why is Tesla full self driving future proof? Because it will always be available in the future and never in the present. 😆
