Hyundai Ioniq 6 N vs Jaguar XF
Verdict
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is the harder-hitting car here: two motors, 601 hp, 740 Nm and 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds make the Jaguar XF’s 237 hp, 340 Nm and 7.5 seconds feel conservative. It also gets 487 km EV range and 350 kW DC charging, but costs RM25,360 more and road tax is RM1,440 a year versus RM380. The XF counters with a 540-litre boot, powered front seats with driver memory, navigation and a lower entry price.
Pick the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N if you want the quicker, AWD electric sedan with stronger driver-assist kit, 487 km range and 350 kW DC charging.
Pick the Jaguar XF if you prefer a petrol executive sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 540-litre boot, powered memory front seats and lower annual road tax.
