Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 than in the Volkswagen ID.4. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Volkswagen ID.4.

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 is somewhat more expensive than the Volkswagen ID.4.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai IONIQ 5 is much wider than the Volkswagen ID.4, 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 Volkswagen ID.4.

Handling
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Volkswagen ID.4, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 will do just as well as the Volkswagen ID.4, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen ID.4.

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 Volkswagen ID.4.

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 Volkswagen ID.4. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 has less cargo space than the Volkswagen ID.4, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
