The three EVs in question promise at least 400km of real-world range with a premium set of features

Hyundai Ioniq 5, Volvo XC40 Recharge, Kia EV6

Hyundai just unveiled its much anticipated electric offering in India, the Ioniq 5. It shares its underpinnings with the Kia EV6 since it is based on the same E-GMP EV platform. It becomes the newest entrant to a list of premium and long-range EVs that are not from a luxury brand, and here’s how it sizes up against its rivals on paper.

Dimensions

Hyundai Ioniq 5

	Hyundai Ioniq 5	Volvo XC40 Recharge	Kia EV6
Length	4,635mm	4,440mm	4,695mm
Width	1,890mm	1,863mm	1,890mm
Height	1,625mm	1,652mm	1,570mm
Wheelbase	3,000mm	2,702mm	2,900mm

The Ioniq 5 has the longest wheelbase here but the EV6 has a longer body with sportier styling. Both EVs are equally wide so neither has the advantage in navigating tight spaces.
The Volvo is the shortest, narrowest and tallest of the three.

Powertrain & Performance

	Hyundai Ioniq 5	Volvo XC40 Recharge	Kia EV6
Powertrain Details	Single Motor, RWD	Dual Motor, AWD	Single Motor, RWD	Dual Motor, AWD
Battery Capacity	72.6kWh	78kWh	77.4kWh	77.4kWh
Power	217PS	408PS	229PS	325PS
Torque	350Nm	660Nm	350Nm	605Nm
Claimed Range	631km (ARAI)	418 (WLTP)	Up to 708km (ARAI)
Charging Time	6 hours 55 minutes (11kW)	8-10 hours (11kW)	7 hours 20 minutes (7.2kW)
50kW Charging	57 minutes	120 minutes	73 minutes

Unlike its global specification, the Ioniq 5 is offered in a single battery and RWD powertrain option. It offers the least performance of these three EVs.
The Kia EV6 is the only one here offered with both RWD and AWD options with varied levels of performance.
The Volvo XC40 Recharge is only offered with a dual-motor AWD setup and it has the highest performance rating here.
Hyundai’s EV has the smallest battery capacity here but still claims over 600km of range. Meanwhile, Kia EV6, with a slightly bigger battery and slipperier shape than the other two, has the highest claimed range of 708km.
Despite having the biggest battery pack, the XC40 Recharge has the lowest claimed range. Even under the same WLTP tests, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 promise figures of up to 480km and 528km, respectively.
A smaller battery means that the Ioniq 5 has the fastest charging times among the other two, with the XC40 taking the longest to charge.

All three EVs are well equipped with fully loaded trims on offer.
Each EV takes a different design approach to the cabin, with the Korean EVs having a slight edge over the XC40 Recharge in creature comforts.
Safety wise, all these entry-level premium electric offerings offer ADAS tech, though the Kia EV6 gets eight airbags.
The Korean cousins also get the V2L (vehicle-to-load) feature to meet all your supplementary power requirements, turning the EV into a bit of a power bank.
