@chad My partner and I have both a Tesla 3 and an Ioniq 5. I like them both, for different reasons. The Ioniq is more practical, but the 3 is more maneuverable and responsive. The Tesla software is mostly better, esp the self-driving features. But I like the dedicated instrument panel and many other features of the Ioniq 5. You should test drive both. 12 comments
@chad No, sorry, no tow hitches. I don't own a trailer. I would guess the Ioniq is far better for towing than our single-motor 3, but maybe a dual motor Y would be comparable?  @brent Thanks. Dollar to dollar, comparing the two vehicles as equipped, I think we're going with the Ioniq 5. @chad Question is whether you can find the one you want, or have to wait a long time. I got lucky and local dealer had the exact colour/package I wanted on the lot. Some people have to wait a year. @brent there's an Ioniq 5 that fits the bill at a dealer I am willing to do business with. (ie, not part of Auto Canada or Go Auto) @chad Also, the Ioniq still uses a fob. The tesla phone key is so much better. Transparent locking and unlocking of the car. Also sentry mode. @brent I'm not so concerned about access. I'm more concerned about if it can do what we need it to. Specifically if we can town a tent trailer 200-300km. We also need that hitch to be able to bring our bikes with us when we vacation. Critically when we got to Victoria in February. @chad For that kind of stuff the Ioniq 5 is clearly superior. Much better for long distance driving, as long as you have chargers en route. We drove the 3 from Niagara to Sault Ste. Marie and back, charging was no problem, but I think the Ioniq would have been more comfy. |

@brent thanks. Have you towed with either? We have a 1200lb tent trailer that we need to make sure we can still bring along.
