Aito M5 AWD Max RS (2024) vs Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Standard Range (2026): which should you buy?
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 GLS 2WD Standard Range (₱3,068,000) is the better value for a Filipino buyer prioritizing electric range and future-proofing, while the Aito M5 AWD Max RS (₱2,957,000) offers superior off-road capability and torque for adventurous use. The IONIQ 5’s 168 PS and 350 Nm are significantly higher than the Aito’s 489 PS and 675 Nm, making it more efficient for daily commutes. Its AWD drivetrain is not available, but the IONIQ 5’s rear-wheel-drive layout keeps weight lower, enhancing agility. The Aito’s PHEV technology and 3-year warranty (vs. 5-year for IONIQ 5) are worth considering for long-term reliability in varied terrain. Choose the IONIQ 5 if you plan to use the vehicle daily or value low operating costs; opt for the Aito M5 if off-road performance and maximum power are your top priorities.
