With the Ioniq 5, Hyundai seeks to carve its first slice of the large electric car market. We’re finding out if it can get the better of Tesla and Volkswagen
Out of the shadows

NEW

Hyundai Ioniq 5 7

3kWh RWD Premium

List price £41,945

Target Price £41,945

Hyundai moves into a new era of electric cars with this large hatchback, which promises an official range of close to 300 miles in the form tested here, plus super-fast charging

Volkswagen ID.4

77kWh Pro

Performance Life

List price £42,040

Target Price £40,987

As a large SUV, the ID.4 should have practicality and a high seating position in its favour. It also promises the longest range of our contenders, at up to 324 miles

Tesla Model 3

Standard Range Plus

List price £40,990

Target Price £40,990

Our favorite large electric car is the one to beat for around £40,000 when it comes to performance and technology, although this entry-level model has the shortest official range

Ioniq 5. If you’re thinking that sounds like an Elon Musk invention – the fifth space rocket to come out of his SpaceX program, perhaps – it isn’t. It’s a Hyundai.
