2022 EV SHOWDOWN: KIA EV6 VS HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 VS TESLA MODEL S VS BMW I4

EV Channels Review

This video presents a compelling comparison of four high-profile electric vehicles: the Tesla Model S, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and BMW i4. The reviewer highlights the Model S as the ultimate performance and range leader, though at a significantly higher price point, noting its spacious cargo, advanced software, and the controversial yoke steering. The Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, built on the same platform, are praised for their fast charging capabilities and unique styling, with the EV6 offering a sportier design and the Ioniq 5 a more retro, spacious interior. Both are noted for their value proposition, especially when considering the 7,500 tax credit. The BMW i4 is positioned as a sportier, coupe-like EV that shares much with the 4 Series, offering a familiar BMW interior with the latest iDrive 8 system and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, though its front trunk is notably absent. The reviewer concludes that while the Model S reigns supreme in performance, the Ioniq 5 offers the best overall value, with the EV6 as a close second, and the i4 appealing to those seeking a more traditional luxury EV experience.
