For months now I’ve been torn between buying a Model Y and buying one of Hyundai’s Ioniq models. Today I pulled the trigger and bought my first EV, an Ioniq 6 SEL. Overall I just felt like I was getting more car for the same price. I’m absolutely blown away at how much Hyundai has turned their brand around compared to 5 years ago. The 5 year 60k mile bumper to bumper and the 10/100k battery with two years free charging and 3 years free maintenance is what ultimately sold me. But dang if those Tesla seats aren’t the most comfortable things in the world.
How do you like the trunk? We had been considering the Ionic 6, but after seeing video of the trunk, and especially the small pass-through opening we ended up deciding against it. But I really wanted that efficiency of the Ionic 6…
Yeah, it’s a tough call. Comes down to your priorities. For me, the non-liftback design is a deal breaker. I’d rather sacrifice range, especially when the Ioniq brand has amazing charging speeds.
The Ioniq 5 has a large and wide liftback door, with a larger cargo area than a similar shaped body such as VW Golf. There’s also a small storage space when you lift the cargo floor too.
It baffles me they didn’t make it a liftback like BMW did with the i4. The liftback is just a more useful design.
