Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs. Ioniq 6: Which Electric Hyundai Fits Your Lifestyle?

The electric vehicle (EV) market is evolving fast, and Hyundai is leading the way with two impressive models: the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. Whether you need a spacious, SUV-style EV or a sleek, aerodynamic sedan, Mountain View Hyundai has you covered.

Here’s how these two models compare.

Hyundai Ioniq 5: A Bold and Versatile Electric SUV

The Ioniq 5 blends futuristic styling with practical utility. Its bold, angular design is inspired by retro hatchbacks, while its spacious interior and advanced features make it one of the most innovative EVs on the road.

Performance & Range

The Ioniq 5 is available with two battery options: a 58.0 kWh Standard Range and a 77.4 kWh Long Range. The Long Range model delivers an EPA-estimated 303 miles per charge in RWD form. Opt for AWD, and you’ll get 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque, reaching 0-60 mph in about 5.1 seconds.

The Ioniq 5 can tow up to 2,000 pounds and supports 80% fast charging in just about 18 minutes with a 350 kW DC fast charger.

Interior & Tech

The open, airy cabin features a sliding center console, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. Standard tech includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Hyundai’s BlueLink app.

Another standout feature is its V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) capability, which lets the Ioniq 5 power small appliances, charge devices, and even run power tools.

With 27 cubic feet of cargo space, it’s an excellent choice for those who need extra storage.

Hyundai Ioniq 6: The Sleek and Efficient Electric Sedan

For drivers prioritizing aerodynamics and efficiency, the Ioniq 6 delivers a longer range, sportier feel, and premium interior.

Performance & Range

Equipped with the 77.4 kWh battery, the RWD SE Long Range model offers an EPA-estimated 361 miles per charge, making it one of the most efficient EVs on the market. The AWD version delivers 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque, matching the Ioniq 5’s 0-60 mph time of 5.1 seconds.

Like its SUV sibling, the Ioniq 6 also supports ultra-fast charging, reaching from 10% to 80% in around 18 minutes.

The cockpit-style dashboard, wraparound ambient lighting, and curved digital display create a futuristic, high-tech feel.
