2023 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 VS. 2023 TESLA MODEL 3: ELECTRIC SEDAN COMPARISON TEST: PRICE, RANGE & MORE!

EV Channels Review

The Edmunds comparison test pits the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 against the long-reigning Tesla Model 3, finding the Ioniq 6 to be a compelling new challenger. The Ioniq 6 impresses with its superior driving dynamics, offering a more comfortable and engaging experience than the Model 3, with better ride quality and planted handling. Its retro-futuristic styling is a definite head-turner, though it comes at the expense of cargo space compared to the Model 3. Inside, the Ioniq 6 offers a more traditional layout with physical controls and smartphone mirroring, which some may prefer over the Model 3's minimalist, screen-centric approach. While the Model 3 boasts better range and access to the Supercharger network, the Ioniq 6 provides a more refined and enjoyable driving experience, along with Hyundai's strong warranty and free charging. Ultimately, the Ioniq 6 edges out the Model 3 in the Edmunds rating, scoring 8.2 to the Model 3's 8.0, making it a worthy alternative in the premium electric sedan segment.
