Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Toyota RAV4. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota RAV4.

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 Toyota RAV4, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a little wider than the Toyota RAV4, 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 Toyota RAV4.

Handling
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has a larger turning radius than the Toyota RAV4, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is clearly the choice over the Toyota RAV4 for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 greatly out-muscles the Toyota RAV4.

Powertrain
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has much lower torque than the Toyota RAV4, 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 Toyota RAV4. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has less cargo space than the Toyota RAV4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
