Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the Hyundai IONIQ 5, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Hyundai Tucson.

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 5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Tucson, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a little wider than the Hyundai Tucson, 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 5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Tucson.

Handling
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has the same turning radius as the Hyundai Tucson, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
With the Hyundai IONIQ 5, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Hyundai Tucson. When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 greatly out-muscles the Hyundai Tucson.

Powertrain
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has much lower torque than the Hyundai Tucson, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Hyundai Tucson. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Hyundai Tucson.
