Compare the2027 Audi e-tron GT VS 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N

The e-tron GT’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

The Audi e-tron GT has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer knee airbags.

The e-tron GT has a standard Secondary Collision Brake Assist, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the e-tron GT and the Ioniq 6 N have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors and rear cross-path warning.

The e-tron GT’s corrosion warranty is 5 years longer than the Ioniq 6 N’s (12 vs. 7 years).

Audi pays for scheduled maintenance on the e-tron GT for 3 years and 30,000 miles. Audi will pay for cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance (up to 3 visits). Hyundai doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the Ioniq 6 N.

The e-tron GT’s electric motors produces 271 more horsepower (912 vs. 641) and 169 lbs.-ft. more torque (737 vs. 568) than the Ioniq 6 N’s electric motors.

The RS e-tron GT performance can travel longer on a full charge than the Ioniq 6 N (278 miles vs. 245 miles).

For better stopping power the e-tron GT’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Ioniq 6 N:

	RS e-tron GT performance	RS e-tron GT performance CCB	Ioniq 6 N
Front Rotors	16.1 inches	16.5 inches	15.7 inches
Rear Rotors	14.4 inches	14.4 inches	14.2 inches

The e-tron GT offers optional heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

For better traction and acceleration, the e-tron GT has larger rear tires than the Ioniq 6 N (305/30R21 vs. 275/35R20).

The e-tron GT’s 305/30R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Ioniq 6 N’s standard 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the e-tron GT has standard 21-inch wheels. Only 20-inch wheels are available on the Ioniq 6 N.

The front and rear suspension of the e-tron GT uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the Ioniq 6 N, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The e-tron GT offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Hyundai doesn’t offer an active suspension on the Ioniq 6 N.

The e-tron GT has a standard automatic front and rear load leveling suspension to keep ride height level with a heavy load or when towing. The e-tron GT’s height leveling suspension allows the driver to raise ride height for better off-road clearance and then lower it again for easier entering and exiting and better on-road handling. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a load leveling suspension.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the e-tron GT is 1.4 inches wider in the front than on the Ioniq 6 N.

For better maneuverability, the e-tron GT’s turning circle is 2.3 feet tighter than the Ioniq 6 N’s (38.1 feet vs. 40.4 feet).

The design of the Audi e-tron GT amounts to more than styling. The e-tron GT has an aerodynamic coefficient of drag of .26 Cd. That is lower than the Ioniq 6 N (.276) and many sports cars. A more efficient exterior helps keep the interior quieter and helps the e-tron GT get better fuel mileage.

A standard locking glovebox (which can’t be accessed with the valet key) keeps your small valuables safer in the e-tron GT. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

A Service Interval Display is standard on the e-tron GT to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for vehicle inspections, vehicle inspection based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. Hyundai doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the Ioniq 6 N.

The e-tron GT has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

When two different drivers share the e-tron GT, the memory system makes it convenient for both. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position, steering wheel position and outside mirror angle. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a memory system.

The e-tron GT’s standard easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The e-tron GT Prestige/RS has a standard heads-up display that projects speed in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The e-tron GT’s front and rear power windows all open or close fully with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside the car. The Ioniq 6 N’s rear power window switches have to be held the entire time to open or close them fully.

The e-tron GT’s standard power window controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Ioniq 6 N’s available power window controls are spread out on the center console where they can’t be seen without the driver completely removing his eyes from the road.

If the windows are left open on the e-tron GT the driver can close all of them at the outside door handle or from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the Ioniq 6 N can only close the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

The e-tron GT’s standard Audi Advanced Key allows you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the car, all without removing the key from pocket or purse. Proximity Key standard on the Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear doors.

Laser headlights, standard on the e-tron GT Prestige/RS, produce their light by firing blue lasers through phosphorus, a process that uses one-half the power of the Ioniq 6 N’s LED headlights. Laser headlights can have double the range of LEDs with a much smaller surface area.

To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the e-tron GT Prestige/RS has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer cornering lights.

The e-tron GT’s power mirror controls are mounted on the armrest for easy access. The Ioniq 6 N’s power mirror controls are on the dash where they are possibly hidden by the steering wheel and are awkward to manipulate.

The e-tron GT’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Ioniq 6 N has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

Both the e-tron GT and the Ioniq 6 N have standard heated front seats. The e-tron GT also has standard heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the Ioniq 6 N.

The e-tron GT has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Ioniq 6 N.

The e-tron GT’s Park Assist Plus can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Park Assist will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Ioniq 6 N doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
