2022 Volkswagen ID.4 vs 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 – San Antonio TX
2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Overview
Small crossover SUVs are among the most popular vehicles in North America, and this is an exciting time for drivers who prefer crossovers but want to transition to an electric vehicle. Two of the most exciting options are the ID.4 from Volkswagen and the IONIQ 5 from Hyundai. The initial ID.4 generation was introduced for the 2021 model year, and Volkswagen follows it up for 2022 with some notable updates, including refined standard features, a more convenient charging experience and three years of free 30-minute charging sessions. The IONIQ 5 is all-new for the 2022 model year and notable in that it is the first electric vehicle from Hyundai built on a dedicated EV platform. With that in mind, join the team at Ancira Volkswagen of San Antonio as we compare the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 vs 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5.

Both the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 and 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 are similar in terms of the form factor. The ID.4 measures 180.5 inches—a tad more than 15 feet—and has a ground clearance of 6.0 inches. The IONIQ 5, on the other hand, measures 182.5 inches—about 15.2 feet—and has a ground clearance of 6.1 inches. Perhaps the most notable difference is that the Volkswagen has a 108.9-inch wheelbase whereas the Hyundai has a 118.1-inch wheelbase. While there are advantages and disadvantages to longer and shorter wheelbases that are beyond the scope of this comparison, it is widely agreed that the Volkswagen setup is nimbler and therefore better suited for urban environments.
Interior – 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 in San Antonio TX
A longer wheelbase sometimes allows for more interior space, but that generally isn’t the case with EVs and certainly not the case when comparing the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 vs 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5. Both vehicles have two rows and seat up to five. Headroom in the ID.4 ranges from 40.6 inches up front to 37.9 inches in the rear.

The ID.4 offers 41.1 inches of front legroom and 37.6 inches of rear legroom, and the IONIQ 5 affords 41.7 inches of front legroom and 39.4 inches of rear legroom.

Both vehicles come with state-of-the-art infotainment systems with large high-definition touchscreens and integrated navigation. We like that Volkswagen provides wireless versions of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay whereas Hyundai includes only the wired implementations. The standard driver-assistance suites are comparable with features like adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane keeping. Volkswagen does include front and rear parking sensors with the base package. Hyundai includes them with the up-level trims.
Trim Levels – 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 dealer
The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 is available in two core trim levels: Pro and Pro S. Both models are the same in terms of the electric powertrain and offer the same mechanical options, which we’ll explore in greater detail later in the comparison. The ID.4 Pro S simply has more conveniences, such as a power liftgate, simulated leather upholstery and massaging front seats. The 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is offered in three core trim levels: SE, SEL and Limited. The base SE comes standard in what Hyundai calls its “Standard Range” configuration. The “Long Range” configuration is optional with the base model and included with both of the upper trim levels.
