TESLA MODEL 3 VS HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 REVIEW – A NEW EV CHAMPION?

EV Channels Review

The What Car? review pits the Hyundai Ioniq 5 against the Tesla Model 3, seeking a new EV champion. While the Ioniq 5 impresses with its striking retro-futuristic design, comfortable ride, and practical, spacious interior, it falls short in material quality and infotainment usability compared to the Model 3. The Model 3, despite its minimalist interior and lack of a driver display, offers superior infotainment, better interior quality, and a more engaging driving experience with sharper handling. Although the Ioniq 5 boasts faster theoretical charging speeds, the scarcity of 350kW chargers in the UK limits this advantage. In real-world efficiency tests, the Model 3 proved more economical. Ultimately, the Tesla Model 3 is declared the winner due to its superior driving dynamics, performance, and overall refinement, though the Ioniq 5 remains a strong contender, particularly for those prioritizing style and comfort.
