Thoughts on 2023 ioniq 5 vs 2023 xc40 recharge?
I'm debating getting one of these two and could use some driver experience to guide me.
i5 is $27k with 30k miles, SEL Awd trim.
xc40 is $25k with 50k miles, plus trim awd.
styling wise I do like the i5 a teeny bit better and it has better range and charging speed. though I would mostly use it for commuting short distances so that isnt as important for me as it is for some. but I'm also aware of the iccu issue and have read plenty frustrating experiences with the Hyundai dealers in getting those fixed.
the Volvo doesn't seem to have any glaring defect like that. the main negative for the volvo besides range seems to be the staggered wheel size which can be expensive to change, on top of volvo parts being generally more expensive than Hyundai. I guess some volvos vibrate at certain speeds as well?
also xc40 has a minor accident on carfax that presumably got fixed but I would get it dealer inspected first of course.
do you guys think spending the extra few thousand is worth it for the i5?
