The Hyundai IONIQ 5
Aside from its incredible electric powertrain, the most important thing to know about the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is that it's an SUV. This means that it has the elevated ground clearance and sporty design that drivers love, with enough space for five passengers in two rows. As an SUV, it also has a greater cargo capacity than other vehicles, including the Hyundai IONIQ 6. Here is a by-the-numbers breakdown that looks closer at this vehicle:
- Ground clearance - 6.1 inches.
- Cargo storage - 27.2 cubic feet of cargo storage in the rear of this SUV.
- Electric driving range - there are three available, depending on your preference and which trim configuration you choose: entry-level models can go up to 220 miles, while rear-wheel drive models with the more-powerful electric motor can go up to 303 miles. However, if you opt for all-wheel drive, you can expect 260 miles of range.
- Charging time - the IONIQ 5 takes around 8.5 hours to fully charge.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6
Like the IONIQ 5, the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 offers the state-of-the-art electric performance that our customers love. The biggest difference here is that this model is a sleek and eye-catching sedan. If you love the classic, traditional style of a four-door car, this may be the EV for you. Here's how it breaks down by the numbers:
- Ground clearance - 5.6 inches.
- Cargo storage - 11.7 cubic feet.
- Electric driving range - like the IONIQ 5, this model also has a variety of EV ranges depending on the version you choose, with entry-level options starting at 361 miles in rear-wheel drive or 316 miles with all-wheel drive.
- Chargin time - fully charging the IONIQ 6 takes 7.5 hours.
