While the Tesla Model Y takes the lead in acceleration and range, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers superior handling when cornering around St Charles. The Model Y powertrain allows it to achieve 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and travel up to 330 miles on a single charge. On the other hand, the Hyundai offers a capable 0-60 mph speed in just 5.1 seconds and has a maximum IONIQ 5 range of 303 miles. That’s more than enough charge to reach Naperville, IL or Louisville KY on a single charge! In addition, IONIQ 5 also stands out with sleek curves and a sharp silhouette for sharp cornering and winding roads around St. Louis.
Safety is highlighted in both vehicles with excellent safety ratings for various features such as rearview cameras, rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The Tesla features a larger, 15-inch touchscreen compared to the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display of the Hyundai. However, the Model Y lacks basic features such as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, which seamlessly keeps you connected to your life. Comparing the Hyundai EV vs. Tesla EV, the IONIQ 5 takes the lead with additional features such as a driver-drowsiness monitoring system, vehicle exit warning, and a rear-seat reminder.
