We drive two of the Hyundai Motor Group's EVs – both based on its new bespoke E-GMP platform
look totally unique, but both share lots of technology underneath. Staggering R&D costs mean the EV industry is dominated by platforms – not marques – and it’s these white-label ‘skateboards’ that become the badged EV buyers will choose from. Pretty much every manufacturer has developed a platform to pin their grand EV plans on; from Volkswagen to Polestar – but Featuring no ties to ICE at all, it’s a bespoke platform that can be stretched, shrunk and boosted to whatever Kia, Hyundai – and .
Pure science fiction on the outside, the Kia EV6 hides its size with design that’ll get a second look anywhere. From its rather aggressive stance and matte paint to its meat tenderiser indicators, the EV6 is an incredible piece of design. And it continues inside, too. force you to recalibrate your brain, because the interior to exterior space simple doesn’t match up.
Thankfully you don’t have to do everything via touch, as both Kia and Hyundai have decided to include physical buttons for things such as the A/C – or persistent switchable displays in the case of the Kia – so you’ll spend less time swiping and more timing changing the parameters you want. Plushness aside, both are kitted out with all the safety tech you’d expect; adaptive cruise, lane-keeping and cross-traffic warnings are all here.Step out of the Ioniq for a minute, and you’d be mistaken for thinking it’s the more premium car. Looks are subjective, but I find the Hyundai’s retro-modern style makes it even more eye-catching than the Kia. Clean, but etched with sharp lines it’s certainly bold – while its front and rear lights fuse the charm of the 80s with the tech of 2022.
In practice, the Hyundai is the looser of the two, something that helps around town. Despite its size, the Ioniq 5’s quick rack makes it easy to slot into spare bays at Morrisons – or slip into a multi storey. The Kia EV6 isn’t cumbersome by any means, but it’s less about ease and more about overall performance.
