- The ultimate electric SUV comparison - from someone who has driven and tested all three! The Tesla Model Y versus Hyundai's IONIQ 5 versus Kia's EV6. In this comparison, I cover 42 categories and share with you what is the best in class for range, specs, fit, finish, handling and more.
SUPPORT
I'm taking the Victorian Government to the High Court of Australia to challenge them on the Electric Car tax! Dubbed the world's worst tax it is not only a disincentive for new buyers of EVs, but also delays our progression to cleaner/greener forms of transportation.

Model y motor RWD coming out of Shanghai from Jan 22 is actually the 3D7 motor and not the 3D6 which was listed in the Australian ADR submission. You are quoting the older SR stats which used the 3D6 and aren’t being built any more. The 3D7 motor is 194kW and 340Nm. It is a newer generation of motor and has less power but is built using hairpin coil design for better efficiency, hence the slower 0-100 time.
Thanks for the info. I've pinned your comment so that everyone is aware.
Superb comparison review Chris! Thanks for the time & effort to do a detailed review of all three all alongside each other. 👍⚡🔋
What a great and detailed comparison Chris. The VtL is important for me. VtG is even more important and none offer it. I wonder why?
RWD model Y has a slower charging rate at 170 kw compared to performance at 250 kw.
Depends on what you can afford Chris, I can't afford any of these Ev's so will be sticking with my Atto 3 if it ever arrives in Australia.
Difficult to compare these as very subjective and depends what you are looking for. A lot of the categories are very best in terms of SUV which the Y is going to do well in, look at them from a CUV or slightly raised hatchback/estate viewpoint and the other 2 do better. I do think there are a few categories the EV6 is hard done by - for me it is by far the best looking of the 3, very aggressive stance, big haunches, great lights and the steering is a bit more direct and sporty than the Ioniq, with the suspension the best tuned of the 3 (Y is way too hard and bumpy, Ioniq is too soft and floaty). Performance-wise you have to add in the EV6 GT and upcoming Ioniq 5 N which will be much more directly comparable to the Y Performance, but the normal AWD models match the LR pretty well (and are much more similar in price). All 3 are great cars and will fit different people.
I'm awaiting the delivery of my model Y. However, I was open to looking at all available EVs. The problem is they are just not available yet.
Nice review Chris, re the audio systems I feel the one thing Tesla has done is move away from incorporating other branded systems, as such I believe Tesla acquired a couple of Bang & Olufsen audio engineers to aid in the design of the OEM system. I’ve heard all 3 also, I think the Kia and Hyundai have nice badges on the grilles 😁
Bose speakers are well known as No High No Low by audiophiles. Funnily I like the sound of Bose speakers LOL.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 use cells from SK On. Hyundai uses LG in the Ioniq and Kona. The Genesis GV60 will also use SK On cells.
Great review. I've been very taken in by the upscaled Genesis brand linked to Hyundai - the GV60. It seems to blend all 3 of these cars into one car (bar the range), whilst upping the luxury feel. Of course, it costs a bit more as it comes from the Genesis range, but it looks amazing. Are you going to do a review on that one soon?
Haven't tried yet, but will reach out to them. On the horizon are reviews with Tesla Model Y performance, Mazda MX 30, Volvo XC40, and Savic Motorbikes. I've bee trying to get reviews with BMW and Merceds, so I'll add Genesis to my list.
I’m not sure Bluetooth is identical. Can’t have two phones connected simultaneously (eg passenger’s and driver’s) on the Tesla can you? Certainly not on older models
Re colour costs, on the gv60, all colours are free, EXCEPT the Matt finishes, which are $2000 extra. There is a Matt dark grey and a Matt white, both of which are very cool
On another note how exciting is Finlands 🇫🇮 new sand battery . Amazing technology. Could it work in Australia???
You forgot to mention the car apps. Tesla allows you control car features such as heating and cooling, very convenient on hot days prior to getting to your car at the shops.
Tesla GPS navigates to superchargers as needed on long trips.
Good points! I did in my massive table (42 areas) but forgot to include ... or was I thinking it was too long so didn't bother. But completely agree about the app - the others don't offer it in Australia (but weirdly do in Europe). Also, the others includ navigation to chargers along journeys if you go too far without one. Just don't have Google smarts working for them.
Model Y does not have a sun shade for the glass roof. Will be hot in Aussie summers.
Just a point that you make a mistake on Chris. Map and infotainment updates on EV6 and presume Ioniq5 is done via USB at home and updated manually by the driver. Plus OTA updates are being released soon. Plus two key things firstly Tesla have being developing this for ages and the Koreans are catching up. Plus for performance the EV6 GT is out now to order in Europe and 0-60 time and top end quicker than MY performance for much less money. 585bhp. But great review albeit many things subjective such as looks, handling etc, etc and hence why and I personally went for the EV6 GT line. But thats great and why we love all these different EV’s. Keep up the great reviews and good luck with your battle with the State of Victoria👍👍.
Model y for me. MY has the most cabin space, the most cargo space, most fruink space by 6 times, is the most efficient, gets the most range, has the best software, the best software QTA update network process, the fastest, and in the USA right now is the cheapest.
EV6 wait time is killing their chance of dominating.
I have one on order, but I've had to order a Model Y as well as a backup option.
How long do you have to wait for the EV6?
@@tasamphol9794 indeterminate, but anywhere between 18 months and 3 years. And I ordered just before the major hype hit.
Meanwhile I've already had a price increase!
@@cleefy92 wow. I guess I could relate to that. I waited three and a half years for my model 3 since the reservation back in 2016.
@@tasamphol9794 my issue isn't so much the wait. It's the potential for further price increases along with no real fixed estimate of delivery window.
@@cleefy92 back then we didn't know the price until it was introduced here. So if your backup plan is the Y, I guess you should be okay. It can't be more expensive than a Y, can it?
Remember that turbine style wheels can only work aerodynamically on one side…..the left hand driver’s side.
19:30 Why did you give the Ioniq and the EV6 a point when the Tesla hands down has the better charging ports?!
The tesla has two 12 volt ports, four 15 watt type C ports, and a 25 watt usb 3.1 Type A port.
The other two cars just have some crappy usb 2.0 type A ports...
Type-C ports are 10 times better than the antiquated type A port.
Everything else seemed pretty fair, but this was downright crazy.
The speakers are best in the model Y hands down
Thanks
Love your work. Hope the car makers watch this & make some improvements!
Sorry to contradict you, but Australian EV6 models DO NOT get a heat pump system. I cannot speak about Hyundai, but they mirror Kia in the Kona/Niro so may also not have a heat pump. Model Y, yes, it does.
RE EV6 heat pump - it's not detailed on the Australian website, but I checked with my Kia Media Rep who confirms they do indeed have one. More info here: www.hyundaimotorgroup.com/story/CONT0000000000002995
We get a crappy 7 year/160,000 km warranty on the EV6 battery in NZ
Weird that there's a difference!? I wonder why Kia does that.
Tesla is the best. 😁
Tesla obviously
You missed one big thing. Battery lifespan, which is also why the Tesla has lower top charging speeds, ultra fast DC charging degrades the batteries much more and in general you can expect under 10% loss over 300,000km with a tesla battery compared to 40% loss for other brands according to 3rd party data sources.
From all data I've been able to find, the Hyundai and Kia batteries are doing better than Tesla's.
Nice approach but the 3 is closer than the y in most aspects, the y is a size up
NOPE
Tesla doesn’t stack up to either one of those…
And the winner is………gv60
This "long time" Tesla user claimed he objectively compared his pricy, UNRELIABLE and DANGEROUS Tesla againsts its south korean's EV competitors... Of course he is very objective... [rolling my eyes...] It's easy to know how objective this guy is when he started comparing the audio system. He was literally won over by his Tesla umph-teen speaker installed audio system, because that many speakers, to him, equals to totally immersive audio experience. I guess this is the same guy who thinks the best audio system is the one having the most speakers installed in a 12 to 15 square meter of space... What a joke... BTW, it is remain unclear who actually oem'ed Tesla audio system. Some says it was licensed from Bang Olufsen, and others even mentioned it had been oem'ed by a company that is now a Samsung's subsidiary... Go figure... As the guy said the gazillion speakers installed inside his Tesla definitely sound better than the 7+1 audio system installed by one of the most respectable maker of audio system, Bose, in Ionic 5... Talking about objectivity... ;)
Might want to rewatch that bit please. I did say that my sound taste is subjective, that they all sounded good, and that its really hard to be objective when you don't have all three side by side at the same time. In the video, my vote went to the Kia EV6 with its Meridian 13 speaker + 1 subwoofer system - not Tesla. What I didn't say is that Bose is actually owned by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and from memory some of their engineers (and/or parts?) were adopted by Tesla. One more thing I didn't say in the video but worthy of note is that its not uncommon for car makers to use the cheapest versions of premium brand speakers. They typically have low power and efficiency , and don't perform anywhere near as well as their home/commercial offereings. In fact you could do better with say Sony or Pioneer, but then the snob factor comes in so car makers avoid them. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.
