Debating between R2 and IONIQ 5
Now, based on the subreddit, I think I can guess how this will go. But as someone who loves Rivian and really wants to get the R2, I struggle to justify the $10,000 extra for my ideal R2 Premium config over the IONIQ 5 Limited AWD.
I’m curious what people think about these two vehicles and I’ll bullet off a few of my thoughts in the comparison. And to be clear, I like the R2 more. I just don’t know if I like it 10 grand more.
Rivian R2 Advantages
- Design (though I don’t dislike the IONIQ’s styling)
- Cargo Storage
- UI (Hyundai is set to adopt CarPlay Ultra for future models so likely to not be a factor long term)
- LiDAR + RAP1 on future models
- Car Camping Experience
Hyundai IONIQ 5 Advantages
- Roadtripping/Charging
- Cost
I don’t particularly care for or against the rear drop window to be honest. I’m not sure how much I would actually end up using it.
Again, I’m really trying to figure out how to justify the $10k gap and I’m struggling to close it. Thanks.
