Kia EV6 vs ioniq 5

[jason61c]

I'm thinking one of these will be my first proper EV that i'll have to live with for 3 years.

I can't work out which one. The kia looks to have a little bit more range, while also possibly a little 'nicer' inside.

Is there a side by side anywhere?

This is about the best I've seen



All going to come down to which you prefer the style of both inside and out I'd have thought? Very different approaches, which makes sense as broadens the appeal.

I like the look of the 5, with the interior of the ev6. should be easy for them to offer that combo?!

I think i'm going to wait for the ev6. Just looks like it'll feel a nicer place for the driver.

Gt-s, with the eco pack(heat pump).

Certainly a more traditional setup than the Ioniq inside.

AWD or RWD? I expect the RWD will have a decent amount of additional range?

AWD I think. the battery is a little larger than the Ioniq

How have you ordered the GT? There’s no pricing yet as far as I can see - only for the GT Line-S

Have I missed something?

you can pre-order, circa £58k.

I see lease prices are starting to come in for the EV6.

Current top of the range.

yeah, I think they're too expensive at the min. To say the car cost about £2k more than the ioniq 5, its a big difference in lease cost.

They showed me the factory order they had 4 sold 2 today. It’s the first batch after the dealer demos. Light interior I’m not a fan but it’ll be ok for 2/3 years. I’m assured the packs and 2 years free charging are included.
Error it’s not 2 years free charging it’s 2 years ionity membership.
It still gets the solar roof, remote control parking which I wanted and the heat pump pack.
I’m genuinely excited to get it, confirmed September.

is it just the solar roof thats missing from speccing up a normal one?

[jason61c]

I think i'd prefer the ev6, however the ioniq 5 is quite cheap on lease at the minute for a top spec car, the EV6 is quite a bit more, i'm sure it'll drop but I wouldn't want to loose the offer price on the 5.

Just need to work out if 6000 miles of £0.45pmm vs 4ppm stacks up when doing the maths as a company car.

its a shame AWD orders wouldn't come through till May or later.
