It is seriously crazy that the Q4 e-tron and BMW i4 don’t have adaptive cruise standard given the price points and it being 2022.

Finally a real seat test. Always hire the right guy for the right job! I am glad I bought a Ioniq 5. I love the comfort and the room for the passengers.

I love the way the Ioniq-5 looks, it looks the most like what an 80's or 90's "concept car of the future" would look like, it's futuristic but has just enough retro elements to make it feel familiar in a way.

Your timing is perfect! A lot of car buying decisions are made from late August to September. Regardless of brand preference, the more information available online the better the buying decision. The car market has become a strategy challenge and Out of Spec Reviews is an excellent info source. Thank you.

This video is fantastic, just shared with four family members who are in the market, everything I have been telling them in fragments for months in one neatly packed video! Thanks Kyle and team!!!!

This video actually cleared up a lot of my questions about different cars. Thank you for putting it all in one place

Texas, US experience. I purchased an Ioniq 5 simply for the looks and space. Went with awd for extra power. After driving in normal mode with a somewhat heavy foot, I experienced EPA rated range. I have recently switch over to Eco Mode, and 80% of my driving has been around 40mph, around town. I get around 320 miles with this change. I dont road trip often but my experience has been ok, better than expected at EA network. It can be improved. Overall I am very happy with the car, serves its purpose as a daily driver hauling around my family very well. Did consider the model Y and would have purchased one in 2021. I would not at the current price. The charging infrastructure is the single best feature of the Model Y but it does not apply that much for me. It is still hard to consider now with all the options of evs in the 40k-60k range. Too much of a premium for the Model Y, even considering standard range(potentially 60k)

I've had the Q4 over in the UK for about 9 months now and the connected tech is shockingly bad. We're all still waiting on a software update to enable OTA updates which is probably not going to happen anytime soon. I love the Q4, it's a beautiful, solid, car and drives great but just be prepared to feel a little left behind with the advancements in technology.

As a 6'3" tall guy - THANK YOU SO MUCH for getting your dad to review the size of the interiors. it is SO hard to find that info!

My Wife and I we choose the EV 6 AWD over the Ioniq 5 because of the Seats. You could find a lower position, wich i like and we could both find a postion we like. In the Ioniq my Wife (1,58m) do not find a good position. I like the fast charging. and the Look. Also for roadtrips in germany heating up the Battery for good charging is no big problem. For roadtrips you will uses the Autobahn and when the Battery goes empty just speed up to the next charger. With 100 mph (160km/h) or more the Battery will be warm enought to charge fast.

Kyle, I don't know if you're using a script or what but you have such smooth delivery and consistent specs + feedback between vehicles. Very much appreciated :)

Mach-E is the only one of these cars that truly looks like a luxury sports car, and is designed to be just that. Its the best looking inside and out, fast as hell, and affordable. Makes for a great first EV, just wanna get one and ride into the sunset lol

Thanks for braving 100 degrees to present this side by side comparison. Really interesting and informative. 👍

I just completed a 5,531 mile US road trip in my 2021 Model 3 SR+. Over 13 days of driving (July 10 through July 31, 2022, with family time in Kentucky) from Sacramento CA to Louisville KY and back (with numerous side trips), I drove nearly half what I drive in a year. Shortest daily distance ~300 miles. Longest drive in a day: 650+ miles. Average daily drive ~425 miles. The final analysis: Wow. This is definitely a road warrior vehicle, despite so-called “conventional wisdom,” regarding range. I used 57 charging stops. In all those stops, I only had ONE 5 minute wait to plug in, at Glenwood Springs, CO. One. For 5 minutes. I’ve waited longer in a grocery store line. And that was a small charging station on a major interstate. I drove through and charged in major cities (LA, Amarillo, OK City, Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City) and many small towns and wide spots in the road. 72 kW to 250 kW. Typically, I was either the only one there or one of two Teslas. My typical stop was 20-25 minutes. Enough time to have a short walk about, use the bathroom, grab a bottle of water and snack, text family, and then get back on the road (these timely breaks, and the awesome auto pilot, assured I’d be rested and relaxed, even after many hours of travel). I charged on weekdays, weekends, rush hour, nighttime, huge supercharger (50+) or small (4), on the interstate or off some small blue highway… I drove and charged through them all. No cherry picking. (Consider also the local catastrophic climate issues in Kentucky and St. Louis during my trip home, July 26-31.) 57 superchargers. 5,531 miles. 13 days of driving. In July, 2022. One wait. 5 minutes. Starbucks line? Bank lines? Costco gas lines? Holding on the phone? 5 minutes is a piece of cake!! And it was once, out of 57 charging stations. And 5,531 miles of supercharging cost me $522.00. More than charging at home. But far less than the ICE equivalent (2021 330i, RWD BMW), of $900+ at ~33 hwy mpg, premium gas. With no maintenance cost other than wear/tear on tires. I can’t speak for others. But I would say that’s a complete success in my book. Brilliant!

Kyle, I appreciate your reviews and the comparison of the various similar cars. We are on our second EV. First was an i3 as a second car, and then after we bought ebikes and discovered that we really did not need two cars anymore we sold both the EV and ICE car and bought an XC40 P8. One aspect of EV ownership that no one seems to touch on in reviews is the apps that link to the car. One reason we decided it was time to ditch the i3 was the onboard cell phone for connectivity was 3G and there was no practical upgrade path from BMW. One thing I miss with the Volvo app vs the BMW is the ability re see charge history.

Great video, lots of good info. Kind of surprised you did not mention the paddle regeneration controls on the Ioniq 5

Really looking forward/hoping you do a review of the 2023 ID.4, see what differences there are in the US build model (with, I believe, the 3.1 software version). In particular, am interested seeing the charging curve with the 175 kW max charging speed.

Fantastic video! Thank you for your hard work on this! I'm thinking about reserving the id4, or the bolt euv. The ioniq5 looks good but it's hard to find a base model. Anywhoo you gave us a great information, can't wait until you get the bolt euv.

In late June thru early July 2022, we drove my wife’s 2021 VW ID.4 PRO from Sacramento CA to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon without issue or problem. From there, we drove to Zion National Park. Same: no issue. And from Zion, back to Sac - in one day. EA worked flawlessly. The VW worked flawlessly, even in the very remote areas of northern Arizona and southern Utah. (We did use a ChargePoint in Kanab UT, as there were no EA stations around there.) 1,500 miles all together, in some very remote, off the beaten path roads and byways. In an ID.4 PRO. Two adults, a teenage boy and two dogs. And gear. I’d say that’s pretty impressive.
