Hyundai IONIQ 5 GL 2WD Standard Range (2026) vs Zeekr 7X RWD Long Range (2025)

Hyundai IONIQ 5 GL 2WD Standard Range (2026) vs Zeekr 7X RWD Long Range (2025): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer weighing price against performance, the Zeekr 7X RWD Long Range edges out the Hyundai IONIQ 5 GL 2WD Standard Range despite a slightly lower price tag of ₱2,750,000 versus ₱2,840,000. The Zeekr delivers a substantially higher max power of 416 PS and a torque boost to 440 Nm, giving it a clear advantage for spirited driving and overtaking on highways, while the IONIQ 5 offers 168 PS and 350 Nm, sufficient for city commuting but less engaging on longer trips. Both models share a 5‑door, 2+3 seating layout and unibody construction, but the Zeekr is larger—4,787 mm long, 1,930 mm wide and 1,650 mm high—providing a roomier cabin and potentially more cargo space, which benefits families or those needing extra room. Warranty coverage differs: Hyundai grants a longer mileage limit (200,000 km) under its 5‑year warranty, whereas Zeekr limits it to 100,000 km, a factor for high‑kilometre drivers. Both are RWD electric SUVs with automatic transmissions, and both are currently available. If you prioritize lower upfront cost, higher power, and a more spacious interior, the Zeekr 7X is the better pick. If you value a longer warranty mileage and are content with modest power for urban use, the IONIQ 5 remains a solid choice.
