Comparison: Turning circle Hyundai IONIQ vs. competitors 2025

When it comes to nimbleness in the urban jungle, turning circle size matters, and the Hyundai IONIQ has played its cards well. But before we dive into comparisons with other vehicles, let's get to know the IONIQ's twist and turns a bit better. Born into the world when electric cars started becoming more mainstream, the IONIQ has always been about efficiency, not just in terms of emissions but also in maneuverability. Nothing says 'I can squeeze through tighter spots than you' quite like a car that can turn on a sixpence. Well, maybe not a sixpence, but you get the idea.

Hyundai IONIQ - How has the turning circle changed over the generations?

Over the relatively few generational changes, Hyundai has kept the IONIQ's turning circle constant at a respectable 10.60 meters. Whether you're piloting the first incarnation from 2016-2019 or the slightly tweaked 1st Generation (1. Facelift) 2019-2022 model, the turning prowess remains unchanged. This stability in turning radius showcases Hyundai's confidence in the IONIQ's original engineering. Worry not; your U-turns and parking maneuvers are as crisp as ever, across both versions of eco-friendliness on wheels.

The turning circle compared to other Hyundai models

In comparison with its siblings in the Hyundai family, the IONIQ fits snugly into the middle of the pack. It shares the same turning circle with the Kona, Kona N, and various i30 models, all at 10.60 meters. It looks up to the smaller i10's nimble 9.80 meters, secretly envying its ability to practically pirouette in place. Then, glancing at the heftier Hyundai models like the Tucson, Nexo, Santa Fe, and the behemoth IONIQ 6, our IONIQ can puff out its chest, knowing it turns tighter corners than its larger family members. It's not at the very top, but certainly not lagging in Hyundai's turning circle hierarchy.

How does the turning circle of the Hyundai IONIQ compare to it's nearest competitors?

Head outside the Hyundai family, the IONIQ still holds its head high. Against the compact titan Fiat Seicento with an 8.80m turning circle, well, let's just say size isn't everything. Venturing further, compared to rivals like the Nissan Micra at 9.20m and Renault Zoe at 10.60m, the IONIQ affirmatively nods, acknowledging its competitive edge or measured parity. The CUPRA Born, with its 10.20m radius, might give the IONIQ a run for its money in a tight turning contest. However, when you factor in length and wheelbase, the IONIQ's efficiency in design and maneuverability shines through, balancing space with agility, unlike the smaller, albeit more twirl-capable contenders.
