Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Sonata than the Hyundai IONIQ 6, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Hyundai IONIQ 6 and the Hyundai Sonata in the front seats.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Hyundai IONIQ 6 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Sonata, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is a little wider than the Hyundai Sonata, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Sonata.

Handling
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Sonata, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 has a much more powerful engine than the Hyundai Sonata. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 has much less torque than the Hyundai Sonata, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Hyundai IONIQ 6 and the Hyundai Sonata.
