The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E are two such electric SUVs that deliver plenty of range, comfort and utility without sacrificing the driving experience. The vehicle experts take a closer look at these two top-rated SUVs to see which is the better buy.
PERFORMANCE
An all-electric SUV was the last thing we would have expected to wear the galloping horse badge, but the Ford Mustang Mach-E definitely lives up to the Mustang name. Available with a single electric motor for rear-wheel drive or dual motors for all-wheel drive, the Mach-E starts with 266 horsepower and can be turned all the way up to 480 horsepower with the hard-charging GT Performance trim. Whichever Mach-E variant you choose, you’ll get an electric car that’s eager to accelerate and feels nimble and engaging for an SUV.
The Ioniq 5 isn’t far behind. The base Ioniq 5 starts off with a single motor and rear-wheel drive for 168 horsepower and tops out with 320 horsepower with dual motors and all-wheel drive. There’s no performance version yet but we expect one to debut for the 2024 model year and have more than 500 horsepower. A dual-motor Ioniq 5 was a bit quicker than a comparable Mach-E, getting to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds compared to 5.2 seconds for the Mach-E.
Winner: Ioniq 5
