YouTube influencer Zygrene has compared the Tesla Model Y with the Polestar 2, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the past. Just a few weeks ago, after spending more time with the Ioniq 5, he put out a video claiming that it's nearly the perfect EV. Needless to say, when Zygrene followed up that video with a comparison of the Ioniq 5's driving dynamics to the Model Y's, it got our attention.
Zygrene says he aims to show us precisely how the Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD "stacks up against the gold-standard Tesla Model Y Long Range in driving dynamics." He's fortunate to spend a good deal of time driving both crossovers, which gives him a solid idea of how they compare. The best part is that he filmed multiple drives on the same roads and in the same conditions so that we can see how the cars perform.
