Hyundai Ioniq 5…
Hyundai Ioniq 5 unfortunately was too low to the ground and definitely didn't have the same winter traction as my 2023 Subaru Solterra (had a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek, before the Solterra), has all the benefits of the Crosstrek with a Cheaper efficiency of the Solterra EV. I must admit at between -51°C to -45°C, I was worried about range, but it didn't let me down; used a lot more power (<11%> = 19% per 47KM), versus summer at 8% per 47KM, the new 2028 Toyota batteries will charge faster and the range on this year beta testing is sitting at 2100km per charge opposed to my current 400km for my current battery assembly. Toyota EV technology and Subaru All-Wheel Traction, is a winning combination, and the new batteries in 2028 will be second to none; they even used the 2023 Solterra platform to test this higher density battery assembly; it's just unfortunate we have to wait for them to scale up the production for the intricacies of this solid state assembly is quite involved. My wife's 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy has all the bells and whistles, Hyundai is an awesome Vehicle, if only we could combine the two; markedly, heads-up display , rotary dials and knobs Calligraphy) : versus : touchscreen and screen hidden behind the steering wheel (Solterra), however Subaru has better 360° illumination with superior backup cameras, and let's not forget the electronic engine braking to acceleration to just the almost nonexistent maintenance costs. Give it a moment, and that EV environmental system is actually faster than a conventional gas powered motor block heater assembly in winter, but alas is what draws that extra electricity; almost cannot wait four years to 2028, but the battery advancement is proven and worth the wait, and lastly $2.71 worth of power is cheaper than $25 worth of Gasoline for the same 47km distance, I imagine the Ioniq is better but it just cannot meet with the winter demands from heavy deep snow to the subsequent superior Traction my 2023 Subaru Solterra, has given me.
