The Ioniq has more of a hooligan image because of the branding and design, but the hardware and engineering behind it is very serious. So much so that Hyundai is already testing the same setup in the Genesis G80 Magma EV that's apparently going into production in the near future as a direct M5 competitor.
If we're talking about just internal combustion, BMW is still king. But in the EV space, there's a lot of new threats and I worry that they aren't doing enough to stay at the top of their game.
