Another main difference between 5 & 6: IONIQ5 needs "Low Conductivity Coolant" replacement every 35,000 miles or 4 years which is costing $700 - $1000 and IONIQ6 does not need that. This is a deal breaker for so many IONIQ 5 buyers!

I had the 5 and sold it for the 6. Great decision! The 6 is soooo much more efficient and rly comfortable but dynamic as well. The best of a really comfy sedan and a sportscar in one car combined. Space is still enough for our needs. We have passengers very often and they love it. My friend is 1,85m and can sit like a king in the font. I transported my bike in the trunk of the 6 and it worked out very good. I love it. The 5 did a great job as well so for families it's the better choice all in all

@lutz_utz-utz really? I’m currently doing the opposite. I LOVE my Limited 6, it’s a great car but I have no cargo space. Looks like I’d lose 10 miles of range going to the 5. I’m hearing the 5 is a bouncier ride. Do you still have an opinion now owning both?

I'm currently leasing a 2020 Ioniq. Very restrictive on range. I do a lot of road trips, so I'm looking forward to trying the Ioniq 6 when my lease is up next year. The 20" wheels come with a big range hit, so I understand switching them out for the 18" Loved your comparison review!

I picked mine specifically because the interior color 🙂

Ioniq 5 was the first E-GMP car designed, I've heard that initially it was planned to have separate oil cooling that is the reason for the remnant of separate cooling loop that needs scheduled maintenance. Can't speak on which is a better design, but given that the next iterations got rid of the second loop and that on Ioniq 5 the scheduled maintenance on it is quite costly - it might not be the better of the two designs after all.

You could be right. Though I do like the idea of not having to use already hot coolant to then cool down the motor, or battery. However, I prefer the simplicity of the i6

Great comparison as always Ed. The Ioniq 6 (with the 18" wheels) either AWD or the RWD is VERY efficient. We are tooling around Southern BC (mostly on #3) and getting low 14's efficiency in the AWD. Easily getting 315-330 miles on the highway. We haven't taken the Coquihalla yet . . . hopefully very soon. I finally saw an Ioniq 5 on the highway the other day and it's a little MEH, at least overtaking from the back. The I6 is not MEH. Yes, the I5 has the storage space, etc., but the I6 has plenty of interior room if needed. Now if ONLY HYUNDAI BROUGHT MORE IONIQS INTO CANADA!!!! There are mega waiting lists almost everywhere for the I5.

You don't. The pattern that it plays back is interior only and it just does it on its own when you shut the car off. Nothing happens on the outside. That's only on South Korean models

The range is the most important feature for me since I do a lot of highway driving. I am also curious about the range in subzero temperatures. (I do own a newer Palisade so I don’t need the extra size of the 5.) I will be replacing our other car in 2 or 3 years, so hopefully the infrastructure for charging improves by then.

Currently have a year left on my 2021 Hyundai Ioniq EV Limited. Great car for commuting and lease payment is super cheap and I have a back-up ICE Volvo for trips. For me the Ioniq 6 would be the choice if the lease works out in the Fall of 2024. I also preordered a 2025 Volvo EX30 as well. It's $15k less than the Ioniq 6 Limited for a lot of the the same features that my 2021 Hyundai Ioniq Limited has. I'm thinking Volvo though if the efficiency is decent, but it is an SUV.

Sure the m3 performance has better performance capabilities, but that's pretty much it. The m3 didn't win world car of the year, world EV of the year and world design of the year like both the i5 AND the i6. The build quality of the i6 is miles ahead of the m3 , sorry, but that's fact. Plus, -800v architecture means way way faster charging -actual leg from in the back (the i6 is significantly larger) the m3 backseat is tiny. -lots of easily accessible physical buttons -a head up display AND an instrument cluster -a forward facing camera to add to the surround view monitor -a sunroof that opens and has a power shade -a quick disconnect for the high voltage system that can be simply reconnected so you don't have to buy a new harness like in the m3 -let's not even discuss the price difference 😆 If it wasn't the better car, then pretty much every reviewer wouldn't be agreeing that it is.
