A fully comparison test of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, including range, efficiency, interior space and features, and value.
R. The power distribution meter in the instrument panel even lets you see what your backside is feeling: that the rear motor carries a greater burden when powering out of a corner. You get a bit of this sensation with the Mustang, but not to the same extent. We scored the two EVs’ steering equally, but appreciated the Ioniq’s sharp turn-in and appropriate increase of effort when Sport mode is selected.
Yet, the Ioniq 5 also has clear, big-time advantages. There’s so much space between rows that the back seat can be slid all the way forward to expand cargo capacity, yet still have usable legroom behind a 6-foot-tall driver. When all the way back, however, there's indeed more space between rows than in the Mach-E . You also sit a bit higher off the ground , and benefit from air vents in the B pillar, two USB ports, sunshades and bigger, boxier windows that make it feel notably airier.
The real ace up Hyundai’s sleeve is charging. Every Ioniq 5 features 800-volt electric architecture, which allows it to charge at a maximum of 250 kW and therefore utilize the increasing number of 350-kW fast charging stations. It can recharge from 10-80% at that max speed in 18 minutes. At a station with the more common 150-kW max charging rate, it can recoup the same amount in 25 minutes. That makes the Ioniq 5 one of the fastest-charging EVs, regardless of price.
In the end, the Ioniq 5 is in theory the smarter choice … if you actually had the ability to purchase either one at something akin to MSRP ... and could find one in every state. Perhaps the answer to which is best is actually,"the one you can find at the right price."
