Say goodbye to fuel stops and gas-powered vehicles and get behind the wheel of an electric model. EVs are powered by electric motors rather than the usual gasoline engines of your previous vehicles.
So, how do these electric vehicles perform? Well, the 2023 Chevy Bolt has an output of 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft on the base model. This power packs quite a punch, especially when you compare it to the output of the Hyundai IONIQ.
The IONIQ’s standard output is just 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. While impressive, it lacks the same responsiveness of the Bolt EV.
One thing you may be curious about is how electric vehicles are charged. Both the Chevy Bolt EV and the Hyundai IONIQ have multiple charging options. For instance, you can do Level 1 charging or Level 2 charging at home with the Chevy Bolt.
With DC Fast Charging, you could even add up to 100 miles of range in just 30 minutes. You’ll find similar charging options with the Hyundai IONIQ.
Inside the Chevy Bolt and the Hyundai IONIQ, you’ll find even more next-level technology and comfort. Your life will take you on all sorts of journeys, from short commutes and grocery runs to longer road trips and vacations, so it’s important to have both comfort and entertainment.
To start off, both electric vehicles have automatic climate control systems, more than 50 cubic feet of cargo room each, and infotainment systems that make your life easier. However, you’ll find that only the Chevy Bolt EV gets rid of the hassle of cords.
The Bolt comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. While the IONIQ has these smartphone integration features, they aren’t wireless.
We’ve already mentioned that both models have more than 50 cubic feet of cargo volume, but what about passenger space? While the Chevy Bolt takes your comfort into account with 40.1 inches of headroom and 44.3 inches of legroom in the front row, the Hyundai IONIQ offers less room to get comfortable.
The IONIQ has just 39.8 inches of headroom and just 41.7 inches of legroom for those front-row passengers.
Of course, electrifying vehicles like the Chevy Bolt EV and the Hyundai IONIQ deserve stunning exteriors that match the energy they put out. When it comes to exterior design, it’s important to find the perfect middle ground between style and agility.
Starting out with the things you can see, the Chevy Bolt has heated outside mirrors, LED taillamps, and solar-absorbing glass. While the IONIQ also has these features, it doesn’t offer the same quality tires as the Chevy Bolt.
The Chevy Bolt comes with standard Michelin® Energy™ Saver tires that help maximize range. Plus, with Selfseal® technology, the tires will self-seal and maintain pressure if punctured by a nail or another piece of debris.
Considering that the Chevy Bolt EV has more room for your front-row passengers, you may be surprised to find out that it’s actually easier to maneuver due to its smaller exterior dimensions.
Check out how the two models compare:
|
Chevy Bolt EV
|
Hyundai IONIQ
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Length | 163.2 inches | 182.5 inches |
| Width | 69.5 inches | 74.4 inches |
| Height | 63.4 inches | 63 inches |
With almost 20 extra inches of length, the Hyundai IONIQ will be harder to turn down narrow streets and parallel park.
