  • I went from a Kona EV to an Ioniq 5 last fall (lease expired). I really liked the Kona, great city cruiser with the range for longer trips. The interior was a tad cramped but we made it work well enough. The main grievance was the limited charging rate was maxed at ~75kW, so a full fast charge took a minimum of 45 minutes.

    I like the I5, it’s a lot more spacious inside and the charging rate is so much better. We took a long trip recently and charging stops didn’t exceed 15 minutes. But in comparison to the Kona the I5 drives like a boat, albeit a fast one.





  • I leased a Kona EV for the last couple years and I really liked it. Great city car, albeit a little cramped on the interior. The range was great but the charge time was pretty ass, making long road trips quite tedious.

    I have the Ioniq 5 now and I like it almost as much. The range is a little better but the charge time is leagues ahead; more than twice as fast. It’s bigger and feels like a boat in comparison with the Kona but I just tend to prefer smaller vehicles. If you go with the Ioniq I’d recommend the AWD, it makes acceleration so much smoother.
