Two sides of the same coin
Both use Hyundai's 800V E-GMP platform, the same 77.4 kWh battery and charge at up to 350 kW. The real differences are styling, driving character and price.
Design
The IONIQ 5 is retro-futuristic and boxy with a flat floor and sliding seats. The EV6 is a sleek fastback that feels lower and sportier.
Driving
The IONIQ 5 prioritizes ride comfort; the EV6 is firmer and more engaging, especially in GT-Line trim.
Verdict
Choose the IONIQ 5 for comfort, space and quirkiness. Choose the EV6 if you want sportier looks and handling.
