Hyundai Ioniq 6

614 km rated range reduces charging stops on road trips
313 hp and 605 Nm provide easy passing and relaxed cruising
Seats five with a 401 L trunk for family-compact duties
Around 44,000 offers good value in its segment for a 77.4 kWh EV
401 L trunk is modest for cargo-heavy use or bulky gear
FWD only; no AWD option in this variant
0–100 km/h in 7.4 s is capable but not performance-focused
No efficiency figure provided here, making cost-per-km comparisons harder

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan

422 hp and 5.5 s 0–100 km/h for confident passing and on-ramps.
Roomy 540 L trunk and five seats suit growing families and road trips.
7.9 L/100 km combined is efficient for its class given the performance.
$45,000 pricing delivers good value in its segment for this output.
Front-wheel drive may not satisfy buyers seeking AWD traction or rear-drive dynamics.
Sedan body limits cargo flexibility for bulky items despite the large boot.
Petrol-only powertrain with no hybrid or EV option.
Still priced in premium territory versus mainstream family sedans.
