2022 Hyundai Ioniq5 Vs. Ford Mustang Mach E – Which Brand Did A Better Electric SUV?

For a long time, if you were looking to buy a premium long-range all-

electric

vehicle and wanted to spend less than fifty thousand dollars, your only option was really the Tesla Model Three; However, in today's competitive market we live in a world full of There are many options and today I am standing next to two of the newest all-

electric

vehicles you can buy. To my right is the new

2022

hyundai

ioniq 5. It can go up to 303 miles on a full charge and offers around 320 horsepower. My left is the new Ford Mustang Mach E, this one can also go over 300 miles of range and the GT version can offer almost 500 horsepower, so if you are looking for a long range all electric vehicle and don't want a tesla, Which of these two new entries is actually the

better

buy, stay tuned to find out, so technically this isn't a fair comparison because Hyundai doesn't offer a full performance version of the Ionic 5, at least for the moment.

I will have to wait until I get a kia ev6 gt to do a proper comparison because this, as you know, is a vehicle that my partner and I have, technically it is a high performance 2021

mustang

mach

i gt. Compare it favorably to its platform mate, the EV6 GT,

which

will also have over 500 horsepower, but since this is what I have, let's go ahead and compare these two. I'm going to talk about this car primarily from a premium extended long range all-wheel drive. model that compares very favorably of course to the ionic five now that I have the two vehicles side by side let's go ahead and talk about the styling differences between these two cars and obviously they couldn't be more different because obviously because Ford Obviously with the name Mustang on this vehicle I had to give this vehicle a look that looked like a Mustang and that is precisely what they have done here.

Let's start, of course, with the maki. The gt version has its own unique front with this grille that has something like this textured look with a glossy gray on the inside with the illuminated pony logo

which

is a really unique styling element that only comes on the GT versions, making it which I love. They also have these very nice Mustang-inspired headlights. Also, you have the sequential LEDs, these are full LED headlights with LED turn signals, and on the rest of the front, you can see that it has its own unique front fascia with the front splitter painted black, this unique air intake down here, What Ford says.

It's functional and overall, let me know in the comments section below. I think the

mustang

in this gt performance looks great even though this car has been on sale for a little over two years it still draws a lot of attention especially in this grabber blue. exterior color that you can now get on all mustangs for

2022

. in contrast, let's talk about the ionic 5 style because this car looks much smaller in the pictures compared to when you see it in person, surprisingly, we'll talk about the dimensions when we go. And look at the rest of the profile, you can see that the Hyundai has a unique front end.

The company actually said that for the rest of their vehicles in the future they will design a unique style on each vehicle instead of making them look like smaller versions of all the other cars. You can see that the Hyundai has very unique square front design themes. Here you can see this silver portion. Here you actually have these illuminated vertical LED strips that look really interesting at night. The headlights also have this really beautiful thing. Rectangular square look with pixel-inspired LED daytime running lights. You have full LED headlights. You can see that the turn signals are not sequential like the Mustangs, but they definitely look very distinctive.

However, the only thing I don't particularly like is this large area of ​​black plastic. on the front where this grille was supposed to be, I wonder what it will look like after a few years, when the rocks start hitting it, when the bugs start invading it, but again, you could probably say the same about the mustang, but this is just a very square area that will probably be hit with things you can see the Hyundai logo here it's huge there's a nice camera here for the front camera system uh with the full 360 camera and you can see that Hyundai design definitely It's a little less sporty but still very futuristic.

Hyundai said they used the pony, their original car from the 1980s, as inspiration for the design of this vehicle. It definitely has a pretty cool modern retro design theme, kind of like what Ford did with the Mustang. in 2005. So this will attract a lot of stairs when you look at it on the road. The only thing you'll also notice right away about this car is that the hood is significantly shorter, more on that later. in the front space because it's a much smaller front, but you can see here, let's look at the profile of the

hyundai

, the wheels, these are 20-inch wheels that you get on the limited models that are standard, they're actually wrapped in larger tires. wide compared to the maki, these are 255 45 series, they are 20 inch wheels, you can see you have michelin all season tires.

These wheels surprise me how wide they are, you can see they have this really interesting thing. They have a geometric texture that is imitated along the side profile. You can see that there are no breaks in performance on this car because again, this is not a performance-oriented trim. You also have these really interesting textured fenders on this vehicle that are painted silver instead of Like it's black again, this is supposed to be a crossover so Hyundai is trying to give it a little cladding to make it feel a little more like a crossover. Now, looking at the rest of the vehicle from this angle, appearances are deceiving because, as I maintain it, vehicle, I'm five foot seven, this vehicle has a wheelbase that is technically longer than a Hyundai Palisade with 118 .1 inches long.

This wheelbase is about half an inch longer compared to the simulated ease it deceives. The total length is 182.4 inches long, which is about 4.2. inches shorter than the maquis, it is about the same length as a hyundai elantra, so it is a compact car in terms of length, its height of about 63 inches is also about half an inch shorter than the maki, but technically this one is the widest vehicle. about half an inch and Hyundai says it has 6.1 inches of ground clearance, so this is a crossover, but it's certainly not an SUV. You won't be using this vehicle off-road like you would with some SUVs that you can now see here.

The roof has this really cool panoramic glass roof that doesn't open but lets in a lot of light. There's also a blind here that closes if you don't want to deal with the sun and then the door handles on this vehicle. I can see them coming out so when the vehicle is locked the door handles retract and then as you approach the vehicle they come out. This is the same design on the kia ev6. I think it looks great, but I appreciate the look. on the door handles on the mustang a little bit more and then let's take a look at the rear of this vehicle, the pixelated tail lights where it also says ionic 5 and goes on to create this kind of extensive light bar, there's even an LED light.

The strip that connects the two lights looks very futuristic and very modern. I love this design theme here, it will certainly attract a lot of attention. There's the same kind of silver trim here along the taillights and at the bottom rear of the On the bumper you can see there's the reversing camera system and then obviously down here there's no more aggressive diffuser because remember this is not a performance oriented trim, there is a little H-shaped badge to let people know this is all-wheel drive. version, but again, there is no performance oriented model of this vehicle yet, now opening up the cargo area, I want to show you what the space is like back here, you can see it has that traditional rear cargo cover and this is a two version .

Row vehicle, it is supposedly an SUV but it offers around 29 cubic feet of space if you fold the seats it offers around 59 cubic feet of space which is actually a little less compared to the mono maybe like one or two cubic feet, so it's not much. Below here is a small storage compartment, although surprisingly there is this sort of raised area here where it takes up space. I think it's the subwoofer for the premium stereo system so keep that in mind and then here I want to show you the charging port real quick because it's a power operated door that opens and closes here and this vehicle, like I said before, comes standard with 800 volt charging, which means it can charge up to 350 kilowatts, you can fast charge it with DC. vehicle that is standard on all models from 10 to 80 in about 18 minutes, which is two and a half times faster than the model e, so when it comes time to charge the model e, the charging port door is on the front driver side which is Completely opposite of what Hyundai does for the ioniq five the door is also not electrically operated like on the Hyundai and the Ford also charges much slower but has DC fast charging capability and accepts up to 150 kilowatts.

You can see the DC fast charging port is right there, it has that ccx combo connector. This vehicle will charge from 10 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes, compared to 18 minutes, of course, for the ionic 5. So this vehicle here if you guys plan on taking it. many road trips are not the most ideal option. Ford definitely has to get its act together and increase the charging speed of this vehicle, for which they would have to completely redesign the battery, which technically cannot be done with an excess. Aerial update now let's talk a little about the side profile of the maki gt versions.

I love how the fenders here are body color. All other maki will have this type of area painted black. The wheels are also unique on this gt performance. You can see that these are a really nice multi-spoke design, which is a little tricky to clean, but they look great compared to the Flower Power wheels you find on the regular GT. You can see that the brakes are also painted Brembo red. calipers because this is gt performance we technically replaced the pirelli p0 tires with these michelin pilot sport all four tires in the off season which definitely improved the ride quality and made the vehicle usable in cold weather but will probably reduce the performance actually.

Dry weather testing, but this model here of course is the high performance version which Hyundai again doesn't offer anything like that. Now that I'm along the side profile of the monkey, this vehicle is about 186.7 inches long, so compared to the ionic 5 it's about 4.2 inches. longer, like I said, its wheelbase is 117.5 inches long, so about a half inch smaller compared to the ionic five, the mustang is also about 63 and a half inches tall, so with a half inch Higher up you also have this panoramic glass roof on the mustang which also doesn't open but you can see it gives them an all black painted roof effect.

Technically, Ford made an all-black roof standard on all GT versions for 2022 and then you can see the mustang's door handles here. You're already familiar with this, they're powered by power, so you have this little handle here if you push the door open and if you want to try to close it, there's a little safety protocol that won't actually allow the door to close unless you pull it out. the door, you can see that it has the typical keyless entry keypad that Ford uses and they have redesigned it to be digital on the pillar and you can see that on the back it also has the same design here, where there is a Here's a little pad that allows you to open the door, which is a really cool design.

Everyone who sees the Mustang's side profile loves that there is no visible door handle, so I think Ford did it right there. You can also notice that the fenders are a little bit more swollen, they have a little bit wider shoulders in terms of the side profile of the vehicle, which gives the mustang maki more of that muscle car look because remember it now has the name mustang looking at the back of the maki. I can see it has the traditional three-bar taillights with sequential LEDs. I like how Ford also has amber lighting for the LEDs.

There's a GT badge here because this is the GT model and then you can see here on the rear diffuser. it's a little bit more aggressive design on the gts, you have the reverse lights down here along with the same black painted plastic, the cargo capacity of the mustang is also a little bit higher compared to the ionic five because this vehicle is technically a little higher you get about 29 and a half cubic feet ofspace if you fold the seats. Ford says you get a little more than 60 cubic feet, so technically it's not much more, but it does give you a little more if you're looking.

Below you can see that Ford gives them a little more underfloor storage compared to the ionic five, although technically, if you are comparing both vehicles to a Tesla, they offer even more underfloor space in their cargo compartments. . Now, since these are all electric vehicles, when you lift both hoods, you'll find an interesting new storage area called a frunk. Yes, it's true, Tesla technically pioneered that word a few years ago, but Ford is clearly the winner here. Your Frunk Space Ford says the Maki Mustang offers 4.7 cubic feet of total space. You can see there's actually a drain plug there.

There are also some cup holders. You can use it as a refrigerator. The Mustang has a much larger front end because if you look at the hood of this vehicle it's significantly longer because remember it's named after Mustang, so Ford wanted to give it styling proportions to go with that Mustang styling language, in contrast , the ionic 5 has a longer style. The car-like front end is much shorter, you also don't have much room under here for the front end because when you lift this up, Hyundai says you only get 0.85 cubic feet of space, which is correct, 0.85 compared to almost five cubic feet in the Ford really has enough room for the level one mobile charger here, the reason is, again, like I said, the hood area is much more short, the all-wheel drive ionic five also includes a heat pump, so it takes a little time. a little more space, but remember this is the dual motor version, just like the

mach

ine, this model here has a slightly smaller front compared to a long range rear drive model that does not have the front motor , but since we're under the hood, let's talk about The powertrain specs let me start, of course, with the Hyundai while we're here.

This model is the fastest and most performance-oriented Ionic 5 you can buy. It has two electric motors for a total of 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque. Hyundai says you'll get about 256 miles on a full charge. You'll get power from a 77.6 kilowatt-hour battery pack, which is smaller than the Ford. This is the largest battery pack. It comes standard on the all-wheel drive model. There is one. -speed reduction gear transmission, of course, it is all-wheel drive. Hyundai says you'll get to 60 in about 5.1 seconds. We'll test it and see if that claim is accurate. And of course, this one runs on the 800 volt architecture. meaning it has the ability to perform DC fast charging from 10 to 80 in just 18 minutes.

If you can find that 350 kilowatt Level 3 charger that technically only electrifies the United States, offers that kind of speed right now, this car will also tow a maximum of 1650 pounds. and weighs just over 4,600 pounds making it the lighter of the two, in contrast the mach e also has dual electric motors, technically you guys know this doesn't compare favorably to the ionic five because hyundai doesn't offer a version complete. In the final version, I'll have to wait until I get a Kia EV6 GT to do a proper comparison, but the Maki GT also has dual electric motors rated at 460 horsepower and 634 pound-feet of torque, those are pretty impressive numbers, so it has more than 140 more compared to the hyundai.

Ford says this will go from zero to 60 in about 3.5 seconds. In our testing we got around 3.7 seconds, so it's not as quick as Ford claims. This car will go about 260 miles on a full charge, so technically it's even. Although the Ford has much more power, it actually goes further on a full charge compared to the ionic 5. When you just compare the EPA numbers, the Ford gets its power from a 91 kilowatt hour battery pack, technically it is a 2021 that will consume. its power from 88 kilowatt hours onwards to really increase the usable capacity for 2022 it also has a single speed reduction gear transmission here's the kicker: towing the maki is not actually recommended, so if you really have to tow things, you go a I want to buy the ionic five and the mustang is also significantly heavier because it's four and a half inches longer almost this one weighs just under 5000 pounds so let's quickly get behind the wheel of the hyundai ioniq 5 because this is the newest option.

I mean, we've been waiting for a dedicated all-electric vehicle from Hyundai and Kia for quite some time and I hope to redo this test when I have an ev6 gt to compare it to the simulated performance of the e gt, obviously I'm going. to keep that in mind and try to channel what i remember from driving alex in autosus maki which is the most equivalent competitor to this particular car, but regardless of hitting the road with the dual ioniq 5 motor with the Greater reach, this one gives you all the right first impressions. It feels solid. It feels well planted.

It feels heavy. It feels very safe on the road thanks to that skateboard deck. And it also feels like you're driving a car-like hatch instead of a crossover. Yes, this vehicle technically has half an inch more ground clearance compared to the e model, which is strange, but I feel like I'm sitting lower in this car, so if you prefer a more car-like experience, You will prefer this vehicle here now. turn off the traction control here, we're just going to break the torque and I'm going to hit the floor oh, the front lifts up like the machi does and uh, I'm not going to do a 0-60 test, although I have this, don't hesitate Click the link in the description below to see my full test on the ionic 5 alone.

I got 4.6 seconds on my fastest zero-to-60 run, with a 98 charge on the battery. It's 96, so it's not much lower. 4.6 seconds is a bit quicker compared to what I tested when I first drove this vehicle in Southern California with Hyundai in December, so it's very impressive, technically faster than Hyundai's claim of 5. 1 seconds, now Alex said. that on its maki the fastest it got was 4.9 seconds, which is basically correct, it's actually a bit slower than the 4.8 seconds Ford claims for its premium extended-range maki all-wheel drive, so clearly The Hyundai is faster and it shows immediately. On the line you also notice that this vehicle is about 200 pounds lighter, now 200 pounds lighter, you know, lighter, but it's still a 4,600 pound car, but compared to the maki and sport mode here, I noticed that The steering definitely responds quickly.

The suspension is softer on this vehicle and that's what you notice when driving it and the back to back machi will give you that slightly

better

ride quality. I'm not going to comment on my tester's performance edition with him or my car. with the magno rheological shocks obviously, but I like the visibility in this vehicle, technically it has better visibility than the maki, the seats are definitely comfortable too, but could use a little softer padding. Very much oh god I didn't expect that with the traction control I didn't expect it to actually let the rear end out which is funny it's the same thing the kia ev6 will do and the maki too so I love the fact that this car reminds you that it is a rear wheel drive car and the other cool thing about this platform is that it gives you the ability to basically disconnect the front engine if you want when you have it in normal mode and in eco mode.

The vehicle will operate as a single engine rear wheel drive vehicle to again preserve the range of the car, but in sport mode it favors all-wheel drive, but when traction control is disabled it will allow you to let the tail out as much as possible. . You guys watched and they were also allowed to do a little dodgeball with the wheels, which is funny, oh that's so funny, that's so comical. I wasn't expecting that, but anyway let's talk a little about scope. I'm going to turn the traction control on. Turn it back on because, this car on a full charge showed about 235 miles, uh, in this cold weather it's 38 degrees outside, the car has a heat pump which is actually similar to what the maki will show you too the maki on similar conditions on a Full charge showed me about 235 miles and the Hyundai can be manipulated by changing drive modes by turning off the heater and climate control.

Mustangs don't do that when you change drive modes, which is interesting, but you can reset it completely. the computer in drive mode and when you restart it the mustang will show almost 250 miles on a full charge which is nice that you can do that but it constantly reminds you that this is a gypsum meter it won't be accurate obviously your real world. will vary in my week's testing of this car uh the real world range was around 250 miles on a full charge in these colder conditions that's pretty impressive considering the fact that this car is rated to get 256 in warmer conditions, that's going to Of course, this is due to the heat pump, which provides heat more efficiently and gives you better range in cold weather testing, but overall, as a daily driver, I don't I expected this car to be as good as it is, it's definitely better than the ID4 it's a lot better than that, it's on par with any tesla you can compare it to and it's on par with any maki, the mustang definitely holds its own, so now I want to do this interesting little test because I have both vehicles together.

In fact, I have my partner Keith running the drill right now. Remember this is a maki gt performance. Hyundai doesn't technically make a car that compares to the mock Mustang. However, I have a hunch because Ford puts pretty strict limits on maki. you can't do more than five seconds of full power off the system without the battery or computer cutting power and if this simulated load is below 70 it won't give you full power now in contrast I've been driving this ioniq . 5 for over a week now and I'm noticing quite a few things, one it definitely charges much better, two, the real world range in the cold has been around 250 miles which is impressive considering the fact that it's cold, uh, this car.

It's rated at 256 in ideal conditions so in normal weather I expect it to run much better and this car doesn't cut power like you can drive it all the way to an 18 battery, floor it and it still gives. You have all the power and the passing power on the highway is impressive. The maki is faster from 0 to 60 by about a second per second. I got 3.7 seconds in the maki 4.6 in this car, but I wouldn't be surprised if the simulacrum e and ioniq five were on. The highways are pretty similar when you're just looking to put your foot down, I'm at 71 percent charge, maki's at 98. okay, one, two, three, go, go, boo, now you guys saw the mop, and I got ahead. of the ionic five but after five seconds that car yeah the maki is even faster but I really want to try this again and see after five seconds what happens okay obviously you're going to get in front of me but let's move on Let's go ahead and do this. for demonstration purposes it's fine in green yes yes from a standstill the maki this is where the extra power from the extra twenty grand comes from there is also noticeable lag definitely faster yes too There is a noticeable delay in acceleration if I don't do this. control on this car, okay, ready, one, two, three, okay, let's see, it's been five seconds.

Come on, the ionic is still pulling, but that monkey is fine too, so the ayat doesn't catch it, good to know for Ford, that's very good. Well, I know Ford that was very enlightening, luckily the maki is still faster than the ionic 5 as we expected, but it shows you that Ford really needs to get rid of those prison bars with the five second limit and also. it gives us more power even when the battery is below 70, so almost five years ago Tesla really changed many people's perception of electric cars as more af

ford

able when they introduced the all-electric Model 3.

When that car came out in 2017, it was super innovative because they finally gave us an electric vehicle that could go over 300 miles on a full charge, it didn't cost six figures like a Tesla model does today, of course, as time went on. time, there are more and more competitors and that is I will only continue to change as we go because electric is the future and I must say that after spending the day driving the newest models, the hyundai ioniq 5 and the

ford

mustang mach e, there are several reasons not to buy a tesla. in 2022, because these two vehicles are very good,Let me start, of course, with my overview of the ionic 5.

This is a very attractive electric vehicle because it is one of the fastest charging electric vehicles you can buy, it charges even faster. Compared to a Porsche Tycon or an Audi e-tron GT, those vehicles are easily two to three times the price, but this vehicle will charge as quickly as 18 minutes, which really isn't much more than a gasoline car. It will go from 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds with the all-wheel drive version, which is incredibly fast performance and the interior is filled with a ton of space filled with a ton of technology. Really my only complaint with the interior is the fact that Hyundai and Kia do it.

I don't do wireless Apple Carplay or Android Auto. I think you really need to add that that's really my only complaint and it might be a deal breaker for some of you, but the two 12 inch screens, the very comfortable seats, the spacious cabin, the good amount of trunk space in The rear end makes this a very attractive vehicle when you also consider the fact that it starts at around 43,650, that's before of course the 7,500 federal tax credit. Also note that Hyundai does not have the Smallest battery pack available yet. That will cost about four thousand dollars, yes, less, when it goes on sale in the spring.

Let's talk a little about the Mustang Mock E, of course, because this model here technically doesn't compare to the Ionic 5, but let's talk. about this car like it has a premium extended range battery with dual motor all-wheel drive that would be directly compared to the ionic 5 because they are similar in specs, the mustang also starts at around forty-three thousand eight hundred and fifty dollars so It's a bit more compared to the Ionic, but the Mustang definitely has a sportier and more aggressive look. I especially love the side profile here of course which will be similar on the premium version compared to the gt.

I love the fact that there are no door handles on this model. Here, of course, the GT is faster, but if you have extended-range premium all-wheel drive, they're about half a second slower than the Ionic 5. The Mustang will go 277 miles on a full charge, which is technically more than the ionic, but This vehicle also has a much larger battery pack, meaning it is not as efficient as the way it uses its energy. It also doesn't load that fast. It takes about 45 minutes, so it's two and a half times slower to charge quickly compared to the ionic now plus.

Many of you are going to be charging from home, so that won't really matter, but if you plan on taking road trips, there it is. where the Hyundai's advantage will come into play. The Mustang's interior is beautiful, of course, with those 15 and a half inches. screen has near gold wireless apple carplay, that's something the hyundai doesn't have, however the ionic 5 also has heated and ventilated seats and a head up display which is something you can't get in the mustang for any price so I hope ford I will eventually add that at some point I also want you to keep in mind that the price of this one is about 69,000 because it is the performance GT.

Now, if you can spend the extra money, I would still choose this one because it is the faster version. or the faster of the two models, it also looks better to my eyes, but that's subjective, but if you were comparing this as a premium extended range all-wheel drive, this car would cost around fifty-eight thousand dollars with a comparable to ionic. five would be about fifty five thousand dollars fully loaded, both still qualify for the 7500 federal tax credit and for me if I were comparing the two cars directly I would personally choose the hyundai ioniq 5 just for its faster charging, acceleration faster and Similar amounts of interior space and also a unique design that will continue to turn heads because Hyundai really nailed the modern retro design cues, but with all that said, I hope you enjoyed my full comparison test between the newest electric vehicles on the market. 2022 hyundai ioniq 5 and the ford mustang mockup e if you are also looking to see the latest cars i am testing be sure to follow me on instagram red line underline reviews like us on facebook and as always guys keep subscribing to reviews red line youtube channel for the latest reviews.
