To date, sibling brands Hyundai Kia have chosen to focus their attention on building platforms capable of supporting hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery electric drivetrains.

The results, while competent and enjoyable, had their downsides.

Now both companies are producing their first electric vehicles based on the e-GMP platform. It’s a new platform designed exclusively for electric vehicles.

The Kia EV6 is Kia’s offering – but today, we’re driving the Hyundai IONIQ 5.

Here’s what we thought form our quick spin – and why we think it has the potential to be a game changer.
