Safety Winner: Hyundai IONIQ 5

Both models receive top safety ratings for their rearview cameras, rear parking sensors, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. However, the IONIQ 5 takes the lead with additional features like driver-drowsiness monitoring, vehicle exit warning, and a rear-seat reminder. It’s important to remember as well that certain Tesla models do feature Autopilot technology, but there may still be some natural driver hesitancy regarding the safety of said feature.

Performance: IONIQ 5

When it comes to acceleration and range, the Tesla Model Y comes in first place. However, ride and handling is more enhanced in the IONIQ 5. The Tesla Model Y’s upgraded powertrain hits 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and has a maximum range of up to 330 miles. Meanwhile, the IONIQ 5 can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 5.1 seconds and has a maximum range of 303 miles. The Model Y accelerates faster and goes further on a full charge, but the IONIQ 5 offers a low, sleek, agile design with great cornering abilities. If handling is more your thing, opt for the IONIQ 5.

Cabin Design and Quality Winner: IONIQ 5

The Model Y features upscale materials, but its inconsistent build quality could be considered as falling short of Hyundai’s standards. While the IONIQ 5 may not be seen as a luxury vehicle, it offers solid build quality in the form of minimalist styling with attention to detail and a range of standard features like a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch touch-screen infotainment display. The Model Y, while offering a panoramic glass roof and a 15-inch touch screen, lacks support for basic features like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
