Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, with comparable 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 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Handling
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 greatly out-muscles the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250.

Utility
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has less seating than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, making the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250 the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has less cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz EQB 250, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
