I picked up my Ioniq 5 ( premium wad vision pack) this Monday and drove it 1100 km in lovely Norwegian winter weather 😅 I’m 194cm and about 90 kg, and this is the first car I’ve ever felt like “wow, this was made for tall people”. And it’s sooooooo spacious inside.
I've had a 2WD Ioniq 5 since March 2022 and done 8500 miles over which the car tells me it has averaged exactly 4.0 miles per kwh. I dont do many motorway journeys but even when I do I am amazed at how efficient the car is. Normally I get a little over 300 miles from a full charge in summer and about 250 in winter and I don't even have the eco pack! Loving it!
A bit off topic, but you cannot pick wrong when you choose the Ioniq5. I've had the privilege of "owning" the ioniq5 AWD for three months now and it's truly awesome in almost all aspects. Range on the highway is not exceptional, though, even at 115 kmh and in eco mode. But it charges so incredibly fast that it's not a big deal. The other minor issue I have is the intrusive "feedback" when you change lanes or go through a corner. Otherwise, I have never enjoyed an automobile as much as this one.
turn off the lane assist if you're talking about physical feedback. I turned if off in my ioniq 6 & it is so much better to drive. if you're talking about the warning alarms, you can also turn those off in settings but i generally find those more helpful than a problem. i think you can adjust their volume though.
I average 17.1 kWh/100km with 70% motorway driving and 30% city driving in a RWD Ioniq 5 after 3000km. Efficiency wise it's fantastic. Plus, it drives exceptionally well and you can easily 'play' with the tail when ascending a mountain :) ....and it looks stunning. Ioniq 5 all the way....
@@germancomment2244 Congrats for the choice! I'm pretty sure you'll love it, it's a fantastic vehicle. Efficiency-wise, I would suggest you avoid i-Pedal and stick to Auto Regen at its lowest setting. This way the car keeps regeneration to a minimum when not needed (e.g. highway) and automatically adjusts to higher regen levels when it detects slowing traffic in front of you or steep downhills! On the highway, if you want to stay as much efficient as you can keep the speeds below 110km/h (it's a bit hard with this car :) ) and prefer closed windows with A/C in air cabin circulation mode instead of opening windows at high speeds. The A/C consumption is lower than the aerodynamic penalty under these conditions. In city and country road driving, the car is super efficient without much effort, I have seen consumptions as low as 11 or 12 kWh/100km resulitng in 600km+ range. Again, congrats for the choice and remember to find a twisty mountain road and exit curves with a bit more acceleration. Smiles guaranteed :)
Great comparison. I ordered the Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago. Mostly because exterior design. But Nissan's(in my case Infiniti's) bad history with software updates etc. had also a big impact on the decision.
@Sharath Sunil dude you are delusional. After the French took over Nissan 20 years ago, it has been getting worse and worse, while Hyundai kept on getting better and better.
@@JohnLee-db9zt Dude you are the delusional one here. French never took over Nissan. Both companies have some stock papers of each other. If you are referring to the strategic partnership between Renault and Nissan, Mitsubishi is also a part of it, and it is neither a merger nor an acquisition. Renault is still French, and Nissan and Mitsubishi are pure Japanese. What 20 years are you talking about, btw? In the last 20 years, Nissan came up with the first SUV concept (Qashqai), and almost every car company and their grandmothers followed in their footsteps. Or maybe you are talking about the first EV (Leaf) mass-manufactured by Nissan even before Tesla? Or maybe you are talking about the Nissan GT-R, which can hands-down beat Ferraris and Lamborghinis, as you can see in countless videos here on RUclips. When I look at the last 20 years of Nissan, I see nothing but innovation and inventions, Hyundai, on the other hand, is just meh.
Ariya: less head space for tall drivers and backseat passengers, worse steering that being artificial feeling, and much slower but i5: no wireless car play, no open sunroof, and not as quiet inside.
I was part of a study that compared these two (and several other) EVs. The Ionic 5 was clearly better in terms of space. The Ariya was better for some of the interior materials but it felt cramped, front and rear, especially compared to the Ionic 5. It was more in line with the Ford Mach E as far as space goes, but the Ford's interior was junk compared to the Nissan.
I’ve owned an Ioniq 5 for 2.5 years now and IT IS PHENOMENAL!!! But… Boot shape is a massive flaw for me as is the driving position. I always seem to have a lump in my back even with the lumbar support recessed fully. Add to that the fact that the armrest in the door is at a completely different height to the central armrest and driving can be strained long distance. But… these are minor flaws for an otherwise sensational family car!!! Ps the load cover can slide behind the back seats.

Just letting you know based on my experience with the ioniq 6, you dont need to heat up the battery for fast charging unless its really cold. i've been getting 10-80% in 18-19 mins without any preconditioning at temps above 60F (15C)
Im 20k mile in with the Ariya its a nice car apart from ride quality is harsh and wheelspin when its cold and or wet due to FWD. I think both look great.
you should test the efficiency on city driving where most ev shine over ICE. In my Ioniq5 RWD, I constantly get around mid 13kw/100km, 50/50 city/highway up to 80kmh, key is the regen and using eco mode.
I rented both for a week. Ended up going with the Ariya used. Right now top level trims are selling for less than a base higher mileage IONIQ 5. But even despite that, I preferred the base Ariya over the base IONIQ 5. The longer I drove the IONIQ 5 the more it bothered me. HDA, the lane centering feature, would reliably slowly ping pong from the left to right side of the lane and back. Bothered me too much to use. IONIQ 5 has a one pedal driving mode which the Ariya does not. It is very irritating. Again a manufacturer not committing to EVs or feeling apologetic. The one pedal driving mode needs to be turned on every time you put it in drive. When you pull into a parking lot and go into reverse to park, suddenly one pedal driving is off. Very disconcerting as if the brakes failed. And when it is on, moving from a stop is abrupt unlike a Tesla which is seamlessly smooth. So I didn’t use that either. The UI also had wonky irritating behavior. Overall handling was similar to Ariya. Neither is anywhere near as good as a Tesla model 3. They’re both big tall SUV’s that handle good for their size but no sports car. I will grant that charging the IONIQ 5 is amazing. Changed the whole approach to charging on roadtrips. It is so fast that you can reasonably just wait in the car long a long fill up. No need to hit the bathroom and get something to eat to pass the time. The Ariya is not bothersome. Lane centering works well without ping pong. The steering wheel is capacitive so a touch is all that’s needed unlike the IONIQ 5 that requires you to constantly try to drive it off the road to sense that you’re there. Upper level trims of the Ariya have moonroof and opening sunroof. Is a quieter car. Propilot 2 leets you go completely hands free on mapped roads. All trims have a heads up display. Charging is slower but not much worse than the base model 3. 32 minutes for us from 10-80% vs 18 for the IONIQ 5.
What trims of the Ariya and Ioniq5 are you comparing? In the US, comparing similar range Ariya Evolve+ FWD and Ioniq5 SEL RWD, the Ariya Evolve+ FWD is more expensive at $50200 than the Ioniq5 SEL at $47500. However, the Ariya Evolve+ has power sunroof and shade, HUD, rear view & 360 camera, blindspot detection, power passenger seat, ... which are more expensive for the Ioniq5 SEL to upgrade - About $5000 more to get the Ioniq5 Limited RWD at $52600 to have similar features of the Ariya Evolve+ at $50200.
Danke, Thomas! Ioniq 5 would be my choice. V2L? Big screen smart TV to watch Autogefühl in full screen, of course! 👍🏼 My wife’s cousin purchased the Ariya (Canada) - not sure if she’s taken delivery. AWD version I believe.
The more I learn about the different EVs on the market, the more confused I get. It seems like there isn’t anything that properly stands out, they all have their good and bad and I don’t seem to be able to find the one that suits me without too many compromises. That said, I’ve had my eye on the Ioniq 5 for a while and it appears to be the closest to what I want, but I don’t know… it’s a thorny problem for sure
Ioniq 5 paint is crap. I live in the the PNW (US). My VW Passat Wagon 2008 paint looked better after 14 years. BUT, the Ioniq 5 is way more fun to drive. EV FTW. I may need to add a wrap.
Thanks for the review. I like the Ionia exterior but the interior looks cheap, the Ariya appears to have a much higher quality look and feel. I guess I will need to test drive both to decide.
Ariya misses so much EV features. no full one pedal driving, no frunk, no V2l etc. Ioniq felt far nice to drive for me as well. I do think the Ariya looks stunning inside though. I have my Ioniq 5 coming this week.
Thank you for the brillant comparison, Thomas. My favourite: The Ionic 5 with the colours of the Ariya. Don't like the colour range of the Ionic at all..😢. Nissan has a fantastic dark green, for example... But all the rest: Ionic....
Sadly, the Ariya was supplied in soul crushing primer grey. If I were world president for a day, I would outlaw any car being painted in it ever again.
actually the Ioniq 5 is the more efficient car here. by WLTP the Ioniq5 58 kWh//77,4 kWh RWD is rated at 16,7 kWh/100 km//17 kWh/100 km. the Nissan Ayria 63 kWh//87 kWh FWD 17,6 kWh/100 km//18,5 kWh/100 km probably your test conditions which you didn't specify had a couple of errors
Great review as always. I test drove both and agree they're both excellent EVs. However, I found the Ariya's suspension a bit unsettling, especially for rear passengers. It caused some motion sickness during my ride, Ariya wobbles and wobbles...The Ioniq 5, on the other hand, offered superior ride comfort, a great car all around. Would you consider reviewing 2025 Ioniq 5 (other than the N line)?
Now if I could find a 24-month lease for $199/month and $0 down on the Ioniq 5, then I might consider it. I just leased the much less expensive (in terms of the lease) Ariya and enjoy it very much.
The Ioniq battery is not modular, meaning if you damage it by hitting road debris you will have to replace the whole battery. This is a $50,000 dollar charge, not to mention the car being “totaled” by insurance and the resulting increase in your insurance premiums. Hyundai is doing their best to deflect when presented with this issue.
Ariya was penalized for it's 10% higher price but in your X3 vs CX60 a 25% more expensive BMW's price was just written off and won. May be apple to oranges but a curious difference in treatment. Ariya looks more interesting to me as a holistic design. I do see why many prefer Ioniq 5. I actually like Genysis GV60 better than Ioniq 5. But that's even more expensive (25% more than Ioniq)
Sure. The Ariya was the worse vehicle (not by far though) but is still more expensive. The Mazda CX60 is by far the worse vehicle than the X3, in so many respects. If I cant afford the extra price i d rather get a used X3 than a new CX60. Thats why the verdict. If you like the Ariya better that’s fine!
Ariya is a more attractive car both outside and inside, the Ioniq is dull and looks like something made by Lego. The technical differences are minimal except rapid charging but an extra 18 minutes isn't going be an issue on a long journey. Pride of ownership is the Ariya by a country mile.
not clear - if the efficiency of the Nissan is better and the battery is way larger - the overall distance possible with Nissan should have been way longer... as an example assuming bot consume 22KW/100Km - and nissan is 84KW battery - that should allow 381Km while IONIQ5 350Km. if the Nissan is only 5% more efficient ( say 21KW/100Km ) that should allow it to go 400Km instead of 381 - and though the diff between the Ioniq5 and Nissan will be way more visible 400 vs 350 ....
lol, that’s funny. We have both cars. 😂 we don’t have a favourite though. Both cars have their pros and cons. The Ariya have better range and more features but the IONIQ 5 looks better, have V2L and charges faster. They are both amazing cars and we love them. 😍
@@ShingKwantsai I first tested the fwd Ariya, and i dident like it (Winter road/and a little slow). But the awd Ariya was so mutch better, its the 87kwt Evolve E-4orce, with 19 wheels, not leather seats but 22kw ac charging. Had to chose those spec, since its already on a boath from Japan.
Thanks. Even if a car is slower or test a shorter range, it doesn't mean it's worse for the buyer. A tester and buyer are different. Many RUclips testers will compare everything to Tesla specs. There is also the question of reliability, and general feeling when driving. I also like the AWD Ariya.
@@ShingKwantsai Yes you feel relaxed, even on long trips. And it has power enough, when you need it. In Northern Norway its so nice with a good awd, the Nissan cars are also reliable even in cold weather. But i can see the point with an fwd, with longer range. If you live in a warm contry, with good roads and infrastucture.
I have an Nissan Ariya. Much wider . A real 5 person car. Ioniq 5 i have also tryed. Design of Ionig5 is very diquitable. After 4 ys its got old. Not in the night! But in the day- hyunday ponny... back in the , 80's. sorry just my opinion.
Can u please tell if I buy ariya, is it possible , that Germans will compare me with their previous ancestry's lineage? The name is very similar to *Arya*
Didn't drive them bit sat in both at the auto show. Thought the Ariya felt more premium inside. Both are nice enough. Ioniq a bit too gray for me. Back seat space is fine but EVs have to do something about the low seat and make it higher. Great, thorough review as always.
I tested both i prefer the nissan specially with 8 years unlimited miles warranty on the battery and with 3 to 4 years waiting list for ionic it's no doubt nissan is a winner
A faster charge does not necessarily mean it is better. Some manufacturers limit the charging speed due to its effect on battery health and life in the long term. Nissan has way more experience than Hyundai on EVs. Aesthetically, Ariya has a futuristic and sporty, sleek exterior and interior design, while Ionic looks more like a modified golf rather than an SUV. In my past experience with combustible Hyundai cars, the interior plastics and parts always start making buzzing and creaky sounds after 1-2 years, which drives me crazy. I hope they have improved the overall montage quality for EVs. I would pick Ariya any day over Ionic. However, Ariya's price is a downside. It is within the price range of Model Y, which is proven to be in the premiere league in terms of software and hardware.
no. Faster charge is better. Fast Charge work from 10% to 80%. Because within that range, it's ok. Especially with high nickel NCM battery, it's ok. What you are talking about is LFP. With LFP, it degradate very fast in conditions above 1 C rate to 2 C rate. This is why fast charge must be avoided in LFP battery EV. In EV, Hyundai is way superior than Nissan in technologies. Nissan does not have enough level EV tech that can compete against Hyundai's E-gmp platform. Nissan is not riped yet in terms of BMS, motor control. Nissan is not even compatible to Chinese BYD to be honest. So choosing Aryia over ioniq 5 is very bad choice.
Ioniq has nicer exterior, Ariya nicer interior. Maybe not the touch controls (needs haptics) but the design is very nice. If only cars could make babies. Ioniq size, exterior and drive train with the Ariya interior.
I test drove both and the Ariya is incredibly superior in material quality and interior design and slightly better when it comes to driving. However, the ioniq 5 is still a great car and the blind spot cameras are really useful.
@@andyliu4685Seems easy to understand to me. I'd agree with him. I've ordered the Ariya based on a far more pleasant interior with better equipment. Very refined also. A class act. I love the Ioniq 5s looks more though.
Lack of wireless Apple Carplay is a very big miss for the Ioniq 5. This is something I use every day and that alone could make the difference in favor of the Ariya!
14:25 you can easily open it. Hinge is probably so weak and child could break it. The everything touch design in this car is doomed to fail. Everybody hates this. How are car manufacturers still that ignorant and stupid
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: ruclips.net/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/видео.html New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/S1aNZeoatmE/видео.html Another interesting article is here: www.collectivefashionjustice.org/articles/is-vegetable-tanned-leather-sustainable-lets-do-some-leather-myth-busting#:~:text=Often%20listed%20as%20a%20'pro,the%20method%20of%20tanning%20used. Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ruclips.net/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/видео.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
? Even manufacturers themselves show the figures. Maybe you havent seen this link: www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en%29
These cars cost as much money as pretty good sports cars used to. If you want to sell something like this you need atleast have character. Hyundai understood that. The nissan looks boring and bland. Why would anybody pay that amount for this
What I think: I'm glad I don't have to pick either one. I think the efficiency rating is horrible and presumed new EV designs would be closer to 4.0mph/kwh not 2.8mph/kwh. IMO, 2.8 is a WTF figure. Infotainment: What is with these complicated and often laggy systems being offered in these cars. I fail to understand why this is not a #1 priority in a new design. Referring to the Ariya infotainment as having a 90's feel is a pretty damning statement. New EV designs this expensive and large should have comfortable seating......absolute must and anything less is a Do Not Buy. Frankly, both cars seem to be works in progress and I'm not impressed! Once I set a temp in my 3, seat warming, circulation, are all automatic and change as conditions demand. I just assumed all new cars acted that way.....but apparently not. I'm not even sure what Apple Car Play is and I discontinued using Apple's overpriced products when they slowed my laptop down. Forced me to get a new computer.......never again will I buy Apple products. I get in my car, select my playlist from Tidal and that's it. What else do you need? I already have the best navigation system so I don't need access to Google maps. Anyway, nice report Thomas, as always, and greetings from Mountain View California.
A quick note from an Ioniq 5 driver: it is an actual struggle to get it under 3.4 miles per KWh even in the worst conditions, in my use. Easily hitting 4 miles per KWh now the weather is warming up - indeed I see 5 miles per KWh on occasion so it CAN be a very efficient car. Just not quite Tesla levels in winter.
@@timaustin2000 Well that's better than the review. What's your opinion on the infotainment system which has taken multiple hits from reviewers? Can you just put HVAC on auto and have it work properly? What is your opinion of the ride against other cars you've owned? I'm finding Tesla's apparent battery technology lead kind of baffling. Hard to fathom all these companies not figuring this out and at least matching Tesla in efficiency. I'm certainly not changing rides but I like to keep up.
I've been looking at EVs for a while now, and have looked at various reviews. The Ariya is my favourite styling wise now, I find the Ioniq a really ugly looking car, so for me it's a no on the Ioniq.
If the electric is so swell, why does the government pay people to buy them? People regret electric purchases because of the rate and cost of charging as well the prohibitive cost of repair.

I picked up my Ioniq 5 ( premium wad vision pack) this Monday and drove it 1100 km in lovely Norwegian winter weather 😅 I’m 194cm and about 90 kg, and this is the first car I’ve ever felt like “wow, this was made for tall people”. And it’s sooooooo spacious inside.
So what is the average range in winter?
I've had a 2WD Ioniq 5 since March 2022 and done 8500 miles over which the car tells me it has averaged exactly 4.0 miles per kwh. I dont do many motorway journeys but even when I do I am amazed at how efficient the car is. Normally I get a little over 300 miles from a full charge in summer and about 250 in winter and I don't even have the eco pack! Loving it!
sounds great !
A bit off topic, but you cannot pick wrong when you choose the Ioniq5. I've had the privilege of "owning" the ioniq5 AWD for three months now and it's truly awesome in almost all aspects. Range on the highway is not exceptional, though, even at 115 kmh and in eco mode. But it charges so incredibly fast that it's not a big deal. The other minor issue I have is the intrusive "feedback" when you change lanes or go through a corner. Otherwise, I have never enjoyed an automobile as much as this one.
turn off the lane assist if you're talking about physical feedback. I turned if off in my ioniq 6 & it is so much better to drive.
if you're talking about the warning alarms, you can also turn those off in settings but i generally find those more helpful than a problem. i think you can adjust their volume though.
I average 17.1 kWh/100km with 70% motorway driving and 30% city driving in a RWD Ioniq 5 after 3000km. Efficiency wise it's fantastic. Plus, it drives exceptionally well and you can easily 'play' with the tail when ascending a mountain :) ....and it looks stunning. Ioniq 5 all the way....
Any efficiency tips? I'll get my ioniq 5 next week. 😀
@@germancomment2244 Congrats for the choice! I'm pretty sure you'll love it, it's a fantastic vehicle. Efficiency-wise, I would suggest you avoid i-Pedal and stick to Auto Regen at its lowest setting. This way the car keeps regeneration to a minimum when not needed (e.g. highway) and automatically adjusts to higher regen levels when it detects slowing traffic in front of you or steep downhills! On the highway, if you want to stay as much efficient as you can keep the speeds below 110km/h (it's a bit hard with this car :) ) and prefer closed windows with A/C in air cabin circulation mode instead of opening windows at high speeds. The A/C consumption is lower than the aerodynamic penalty under these conditions. In city and country road driving, the car is super efficient without much effort, I have seen consumptions as low as 11 or 12 kWh/100km resulitng in 600km+ range. Again, congrats for the choice and remember to find a twisty mountain road and exit curves with a bit more acceleration. Smiles guaranteed :)
Great comparison. I ordered the Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago. Mostly because exterior design. But Nissan's(in my case Infiniti's) bad history with software updates etc. had also a big impact on the decision.
Cheers 👍
@Sharath Sunil dude you are delusional. After the French took over Nissan 20 years ago, it has been getting worse and worse, while Hyundai kept on getting better and better.
@@JohnLee-db9zt Dude you are the delusional one here. French never took over Nissan. Both companies have some stock papers of each other. If you are referring to the strategic partnership between Renault and Nissan, Mitsubishi is also a part of it, and it is neither a merger nor an acquisition. Renault is still French, and Nissan and Mitsubishi are pure Japanese. What 20 years are you talking about, btw? In the last 20 years, Nissan came up with the first SUV concept (Qashqai), and almost every car company and their grandmothers followed in their footsteps. Or maybe you are talking about the first EV (Leaf) mass-manufactured by Nissan even before Tesla? Or maybe you are talking about the Nissan GT-R, which can hands-down beat Ferraris and Lamborghinis, as you can see in countless videos here on RUclips. When I look at the last 20 years of Nissan, I see nothing but innovation and inventions, Hyundai, on the other hand, is just meh.
Great that you included the charging test!!
👍
Clear Win for Ioniq 5: better space, better charging and recuperation, better price, better exterior design
Selapan boss
On the other hand worse seating position, worse road feel, huge turning circle and weird looking dashboard.
@@mart_en I love the dash.
Ariya: less head space for tall drivers and backseat passengers, worse steering that being artificial feeling, and much slower but i5: no wireless car play, no open sunroof, and not as quiet inside.
I was part of a study that compared these two (and several other) EVs. The Ionic 5 was clearly better in terms of space. The Ariya was better for some of the interior materials but it felt cramped, front and rear, especially compared to the Ionic 5. It was more in line with the Ford Mach E as far as space goes, but the Ford's interior was junk compared to the Nissan.
I’ve owned an Ioniq 5 for 2.5 years now and IT IS PHENOMENAL!!! But… Boot shape is a massive flaw for me as is the driving position. I always seem to have a lump in my back even with the lumbar support recessed fully. Add to that the fact that the armrest in the door is at a completely different height to the central armrest and driving can be strained long distance. But… these are minor flaws for an otherwise sensational family car!!! Ps the load cover can slide behind the back seats.
Thanks for the feedback!
Ariya has the same lumbar bulge when lumbar set to minimum.

Both are good cars, but the Ioniq 5 win easily. The Ariya is even more expensive than a Model Y in AWD which is very surprising.
the silence and luxury and feeling .. Ariya looks like in another class ..best in test..
Always a pleasure watch one of your videos. Very professional job once again 👍
Highly appreciated!
Just letting you know based on my experience with the ioniq 6, you dont need to heat up the battery for fast charging unless its really cold. i've been getting 10-80% in 18-19 mins without any preconditioning at temps above 60F (15C)
Awesome
So far i Love the Ariya look!! Especially the new copper color black top!!! 😍❤
As a result we choose KIA EV 6:)
이게 정답이에요. 실제로 한국 사람들은 아이오닉5 보다 기아 EV6를 훨씬 더 많이 구입하고 있어요.
Ariya for me. No doubt.
Nissan Ariya
Nissan hasn’t faced any major battery issues since the first-generation Leaf. That’s pretty impressive.
Im 20k mile in with the Ariya its a nice car apart from ride quality is harsh and wheelspin when its cold and or wet due to FWD. I think both look great.
Hey! What miles are you at on your Ariya now? Just got the awd Ariya !
@@ben_gurin well its 7deg c so a full charge is indicating 290 mile
Lol 😂🤣😂 the hairdryer was funny Thomas
you should test the efficiency on city driving where most ev shine over ICE. In my Ioniq5 RWD, I constantly get around mid 13kw/100km, 50/50 city/highway up to 80kmh, key is the regen and using eco mode.
I rented both for a week. Ended up going with the Ariya used.
Right now top level trims are selling for less than a base higher mileage IONIQ 5.
But even despite that, I preferred the base Ariya over the base IONIQ 5.
The longer I drove the IONIQ 5 the more it bothered me. HDA, the lane centering feature, would reliably slowly ping pong from the left to right side of the lane and back. Bothered me too much to use.
IONIQ 5 has a one pedal driving mode which the Ariya does not. It is very irritating. Again a manufacturer not committing to EVs or feeling apologetic. The one pedal driving mode needs to be turned on every time you put it in drive. When you pull into a parking lot and go into reverse to park, suddenly one pedal driving is off. Very disconcerting as if the brakes failed. And when it is on, moving from a stop is abrupt unlike a Tesla which is seamlessly smooth. So I didn’t use that either.
The UI also had wonky irritating behavior.
Overall handling was similar to Ariya. Neither is anywhere near as good as a Tesla model 3. They’re both big tall SUV’s that handle good for their size but no sports car.
I will grant that charging the IONIQ 5 is amazing. Changed the whole approach to charging on roadtrips. It is so fast that you can reasonably just wait in the car long a long fill up. No need to hit the bathroom and get something to eat to pass the time.
The Ariya is not bothersome. Lane centering works well without ping pong. The steering wheel is capacitive so a touch is all that’s needed unlike the IONIQ 5 that requires you to constantly try to drive it off the road to sense that you’re there.
Upper level trims of the Ariya have moonroof and opening sunroof. Is a quieter car. Propilot 2 leets you go completely hands free on mapped roads. All trims have a heads up display. Charging is slower but not much worse than the base model 3. 32 minutes for us from 10-80% vs 18 for the IONIQ 5.
thanks for the detailed report!
What trims of the Ariya and Ioniq5 are you comparing?
In the US, comparing similar range Ariya Evolve+ FWD and Ioniq5 SEL RWD, the Ariya Evolve+ FWD is more expensive at $50200 than the Ioniq5 SEL at $47500. However, the Ariya Evolve+ has power sunroof and shade, HUD, rear view & 360 camera, blindspot detection, power passenger seat, ... which are more expensive for the Ioniq5 SEL to upgrade - About $5000 more to get the Ioniq5 Limited RWD at $52600 to have similar features of the Ariya Evolve+ at $50200.
This is the WAY !
Danke, Thomas!
Ioniq 5 would be my choice.
V2L? Big screen smart TV to watch Autogefühl in full screen, of course! 👍🏼
My wife’s cousin purchased the Ariya (Canada) - not sure if she’s taken delivery. AWD version I believe.
It's a good idea to put some numbers of the dimensions etc because we can watch the video even without the sound 😁
One thing most people seem to forget about when choosing is the brands customer service, as a lot of EV's seem to have a lot of teething problems.
The more I learn about the different EVs on the market, the more confused I get. It seems like there isn’t anything that properly stands out, they all have their good and bad and I don’t seem to be able to find the one that suits me without too many compromises. That said, I’ve had my eye on the Ioniq 5 for a while and it appears to be the closest to what I want, but I don’t know… it’s a thorny problem for sure
I will suggest the ariya for you since Nissan is not new in the game
@@adjeiparksonfrederick4780 Thanks, I'll take a look into that
Nice to see a comparison of the important charging 👏
Ariya 22kw ac charging. Ioniq 5 is only 11kw
Well, though Ariya's Nissan's homerun for EV, I'd take Ioniq5 over Ariya.
Ioniq 5 paint is crap. I live in the the PNW (US). My VW Passat Wagon 2008 paint looked better after 14 years. BUT, the Ioniq 5 is way more fun to drive. EV FTW. I may need to add a wrap.

@@zoltronr6 I love it! In in puget sound area, 2 hours north of seattle

oh god, Thomas' innuendos and wink always gets me
Ionic 5 best 👌 👍 😍
thomas is the kind of guy who'll show up in a 15yo beat up hyundai and still pull women.
😄💪
Hate that the US doesn't allow the sequential lights on the Ariya
This is the way
Thanks for the review. I like the Ionia exterior but the interior looks cheap, the Ariya appears to have a much higher quality look and feel. I guess I will need to test drive both to decide.
Ariya misses so much EV features. no full one pedal driving, no frunk, no V2l etc. Ioniq felt far nice to drive for me as well. I do think the Ariya looks stunning inside though. I have my Ioniq 5 coming this week.
Which did you get?
@@XpR74 I bought the ARIYA, I have had it 5 months and it is fabulous. Fully loaded and a great drive, no regrets.
@@glynmatthews2156 I know it’s a great car I love it slot
Great comparison I love them both
🙏🙏
Thank you for the brillant comparison, Thomas. My favourite: The Ionic 5 with the colours of the Ariya. Don't like the colour range of the Ionic at all..😢. Nissan has a fantastic dark green, for example... But all the rest: Ionic....
Thanks Alex!
Sadly, the Ariya was supplied in soul crushing primer grey. If I were world president for a day, I would outlaw any car being painted in it ever again.
And aryia hat confort....
actually the Ioniq 5 is the more efficient car here. by WLTP the Ioniq5 58 kWh//77,4 kWh RWD is rated at 16,7 kWh/100 km//17 kWh/100 km. the Nissan Ayria 63 kWh//87 kWh FWD 17,6 kWh/100 km//18,5 kWh/100 km
probably your test conditions which you didn't specify had a couple of errors
I did a lot of different test drives in different conditions and the Ariya was more efficient. Official driving cycle doesn’t mean real conditions
In fact, Ariya is more efficient,Norwegian EV RUclips Bjorn did long road trip for both EVs Ariya is more efficient.
Great review as always. I test drove both and agree they're both excellent EVs. However, I found the Ariya's suspension a bit unsettling, especially for rear passengers. It caused some motion sickness during my ride, Ariya wobbles and wobbles...The Ioniq 5, on the other hand, offered superior ride comfort, a great car all around.
Would you consider reviewing 2025 Ioniq 5 (other than the N line)?
Thanks for the feedback! Lets see what we can do. Soon we ll do the updated EV6
You can adjust the sensitivity of those dash buttons in the Ariya.
How so?
Nissan looks nice
Good morning Thomas can you a comparison between Audi q4 etron and Nissan ayria ?
I like both EV"s very good comparison video review Thomas!! But I'll wait for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N which will be a more powerful beast around 600HP.
With 300km of range like the kia ev6
Cheers m8!
Now if I could find a 24-month lease for $199/month and $0 down on the Ioniq 5, then I might consider it. I just leased the much less expensive (in terms of the lease) Ariya and enjoy it very much.
The Nissan Ariya is the best choice for me. The Ioniq 5 has a lot of problems with the charging port, 12v battery and ICCU.
The Ioniq battery is not modular, meaning if you damage it by hitting road debris you will have to replace the whole battery. This is a $50,000 dollar charge, not to mention the car being “totaled” by insurance and the resulting increase in your insurance premiums. Hyundai is doing their best to deflect when presented with this issue.
it's modular.
Easy win for the Ioniq 5...
There was definitely a bias towards the Ionic 5 from the start
Not at all. Personally I enjoyed the Ariya more and took it more often, just the facts speak for the Ioniq.
He always drive with some girl with animal free pants ;)
Ariya was penalized for it's 10% higher price but in your X3 vs CX60 a 25% more expensive BMW's price was just written off and won. May be apple to oranges but a curious difference in treatment. Ariya looks more interesting to me as a holistic design. I do see why many prefer Ioniq 5. I actually like Genysis GV60 better than Ioniq 5. But that's even more expensive (25% more than Ioniq)
Sure. The Ariya was the worse vehicle (not by far though) but is still more expensive. The Mazda CX60 is by far the worse vehicle than the X3, in so many respects. If I cant afford the extra price i d rather get a used X3 than a new CX60. Thats why the verdict. If you like the Ariya better that’s fine!
Ariya is a more attractive car both outside and inside, the Ioniq is dull and looks like something made by Lego. The technical differences are minimal except rapid charging but an extra 18 minutes isn't going be an issue on a long journey. Pride of ownership is the Ariya by a country mile.
not clear - if the efficiency of the Nissan is better and the battery is way larger - the overall distance possible with Nissan should have been way longer... as an example assuming bot consume 22KW/100Km - and nissan is 84KW battery - that should allow 381Km while IONIQ5 350Km. if the Nissan is only 5% more efficient ( say 21KW/100Km ) that should allow it to go 400Km instead of 381 - and though the diff between the Ioniq5 and Nissan will be way more visible 400 vs 350 ....
lol, that’s funny. We have both cars. 😂 we don’t have a favourite though. Both cars have their pros and cons. The Ariya have better range and more features but the IONIQ 5 looks better, have V2L and charges faster. They are both amazing cars and we love them. 😍
Hehe funny coincidence
@@autogefuehl indeed. RUclips recommended the video to me, they know me well I guess.
I reall love V2L. Greeat for camping and repair works and many electric uses for my cabin in isolated area.
It's not like comparing a model that is not comparable to Ioniq. ioniq winner
Ariya interior wins
My top 5 ev to chose from, are model y, polestar 2, volvo c40, ford mach-e and Ariya. I have tested them, and my choise were the Ariya.
Can you tell me your to reason for the Ariya? Which version did you buy?
@@ShingKwantsai I first tested the fwd Ariya, and i dident like it (Winter road/and a little slow). But the awd Ariya was so mutch better, its the 87kwt Evolve E-4orce, with 19 wheels, not leather seats but 22kw ac charging. Had to chose those spec, since its already on a boath from Japan.
Thanks. Even if a car is slower or test a shorter range, it doesn't mean it's worse for the buyer. A tester and buyer are different. Many RUclips testers will compare everything to Tesla specs. There is also the question of reliability, and general feeling when driving. I also like the AWD Ariya.
@@ShingKwantsai Yes you feel relaxed, even on long trips. And it has power enough, when you need it. In Northern Norway its so nice with a good awd, the Nissan cars are also reliable even in cold weather. But i can see the point with an fwd, with longer range. If you live in a warm contry, with good roads and infrastucture.
(IONIQ5)E-GMP 800V V2L👍
I have an Nissan Ariya. Much wider . A real 5 person car. Ioniq 5 i have also tryed. Design of Ionig5 is very diquitable. After 4 ys its got old. Not in the night! But in the day- hyunday ponny... back in the , 80's. sorry just my opinion.
Can u please tell if I buy ariya, is it possible , that Germans will compare me with their previous ancestry's lineage? The name is very similar to *Arya*
Hyundai Ioniq6 😍
Hyundai Ioniq Kia EV models is down under Nissan Ariya Volkswagen ID models not sure but Europe have all dose models .
ioniq5 has a cheaper interior than ariya. And the ride is hard and noisy. And because it is a huge car, it is difficult to handle in urban areas.
You get used to it. I have no problem on city streets.
I fit more comfortably in the Ariya.
But my first EV will be the Cadillac Lyriq AWD I preordered.
Didn't drive them bit sat in both at the auto show. Thought the Ariya felt more premium inside. Both are nice enough. Ioniq a bit too gray for me. Back seat space is fine but EVs have to do something about the low seat and make it higher. Great, thorough review as always.
While Hyundai nailed it with the design meanwhile the Nissan is a visual terror on the streets. What a hideous looking car.
What’s so bad about it if anything it’s one of the nicest looking cars on the road
Going for the Nissan because with the options I care about there is quite a serious difference in lease price 😂 even though the ionic is more awesome
I tested both i prefer the nissan specially with 8 years unlimited miles warranty on the battery and with 3 to 4 years waiting list for ionic it's no doubt nissan is a winner
Ioniq 5 is a really great car if you absolutely don't want a Tesla Model Y.
Love the design of the ariya
what win?
A faster charge does not necessarily mean it is better. Some manufacturers limit the charging speed due to its effect on battery health and life in the long term.
Nissan has way more experience than Hyundai on EVs. Aesthetically, Ariya has a futuristic and sporty, sleek exterior and interior design, while Ionic looks more like a modified golf rather than an SUV. In my past experience with combustible Hyundai cars, the interior plastics and parts always start making buzzing and creaky sounds after 1-2 years, which drives me crazy. I hope they have improved the overall montage quality for EVs. I would pick Ariya any day over Ionic. However, Ariya's price is a downside. It is within the price range of Model Y, which is proven to be in the premiere league in terms of software and hardware.
no. Faster charge is better. Fast Charge work from 10% to 80%. Because within that range, it's ok. Especially with high nickel NCM battery, it's ok. What you are talking about is LFP. With LFP, it degradate very fast in conditions above 1 C rate to 2 C rate. This is why fast charge must be avoided in LFP battery EV.
In EV, Hyundai is way superior than Nissan in technologies. Nissan does not have enough level EV tech that can compete against Hyundai's E-gmp platform. Nissan is not riped yet in terms of BMS, motor control. Nissan is not even compatible to Chinese BYD to be honest. So choosing Aryia over ioniq 5 is very bad choice.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I just can't stand the Ioniq 5s "retro futurist" design.
No not just you. I dislike the dotted square headlights and tailights. Wheels are just as ugly along with the steering wheel/airbag.
A premium car in #Ariya 😎👍
Best test ❤ suport ..good.. Aria tot best too😅
cheers !
Whoever engineered the seat control buttons for Ioniq 5 doesn’t have kids. Otherwise they wouldn’t make these buttons so easily reachable
Kia EV6 bests them both
Defo a good pick: ruclips.net/video/1rpS311emAQ/видео.html
Ugly AF though 😂
Nice demonstration of V2L😂
hehe =)
Ioniq has nicer exterior, Ariya nicer interior. Maybe not the touch controls (needs haptics) but the design is very nice. If only cars could make babies. Ioniq size, exterior and drive train with the Ariya interior.
The buttons in the Ariya are indeed haptic
I test drove both and the Ariya is incredibly superior in material quality and interior design and slightly better when it comes to driving.
However, the ioniq 5 is still a great car and the blind spot cameras are really useful.
please explain
@@andyliu4685Seems easy to understand to me. I'd agree with him.
I've ordered the Ariya based on a far more pleasant interior with better equipment. Very refined also. A class act.

Lack of wireless Apple Carplay is a very big miss for the Ioniq 5. This is something I use every day and that alone could make the difference in favor of the Ariya!

Leather is always preferable to petro-chemical sheets.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: ruclips.net/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/видео.html
New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: ruclips.net/video/u94YXJ72UTA/видео.html
More and more natural materials are rising: ruclips.net/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/видео.html or ruclips.net/video/S1aNZeoatmE/видео.html
Another interesting article is here:
www.collectivefashionjustice.org/articles/is-vegetable-tanned-leather-sustainable-lets-do-some-leather-myth-busting#:~:text=Often%20listed%20as%20a%20'pro,the%20method%20of%20tanning%20used.
Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: ruclips.net/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/видео.html
For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ruclips.net/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/видео.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse?
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
Because, of course, no petrochemicals are used in the tanning and treatment of leather,... /s
Exactly like Tim says, animal skin leather production involves way more chemicals, energy and thus also petrol
With no data nor supporting evidence given. FANTASTIC argumentation. You want it only because you like it.
? Even manufacturers themselves show the figures.

These cars cost as much money as pretty good sports cars used to. If you want to sell something like this you need atleast have character. Hyundai understood that. The nissan looks boring and bland. Why would anybody pay that amount for this

You must meet my sister dude, you are bouth just thr same thing like these cars!

Ionic all the way!
What I think: I'm glad I don't have to pick either one.
I think the efficiency rating is horrible and presumed new EV designs would be closer to 4.0mph/kwh not 2.8mph/kwh. IMO, 2.8 is a WTF figure.
Infotainment: What is with these complicated and often laggy systems being offered in these cars. I fail to understand why this is not a #1 priority in a new design. Referring to the Ariya infotainment as having a 90's feel is a pretty damning statement.
New EV designs this expensive and large should have comfortable seating......absolute must and anything less is a Do Not Buy.
Frankly, both cars seem to be works in progress and I'm not impressed!
Once I set a temp in my 3, seat warming, circulation, are all automatic and change as conditions demand. I just assumed all new cars acted that way.....but apparently not.
I'm not even sure what Apple Car Play is and I discontinued using Apple's overpriced products when they slowed my laptop down. Forced me to get a new computer.......never again will I buy Apple products.
I get in my car, select my playlist from Tidal and that's it. What else do you need? I already have the best navigation system so I don't need access to Google maps.
Anyway, nice report Thomas, as always, and greetings from Mountain View California.
Best greetings!
A quick note from an Ioniq 5 driver: it is an actual struggle to get it under 3.4 miles per KWh even in the worst conditions, in my use. Easily hitting 4 miles per KWh now the weather is warming up - indeed I see 5 miles per KWh on occasion so it CAN be a very efficient car. Just not quite Tesla levels in winter.
@@timaustin2000 Well that's better than the review.
What's your opinion on the infotainment system which has taken multiple hits from reviewers?
Can you just put HVAC on auto and have it work properly?
What is your opinion of the ride against other cars you've owned?
I'm finding Tesla's apparent battery technology lead kind of baffling. Hard to fathom all these companies not figuring this out and at least matching Tesla in efficiency.
I'm certainly not changing rides but I like to keep up.

I've been looking at EVs for a while now, and have looked at various reviews. The Ariya is my favourite styling wise now, I find the Ioniq a really ugly looking car, so for me it's a no on the Ioniq.
thanks for tuning in !
If the electric is so swell, why does the government pay people to buy them?
People regret electric purchases because of the rate and cost of charging as well the prohibitive cost of repair.
acceleration, lol
