Hyundai Motor's Ioniq 5 beat the Mercedes-Benz EQB in an electric vehicle (EV) evaluation by Auto Bild, a German automobile magazine. 
 
Auto Bild compared the two EVs in a total of seven categories: Body, driving comfort, powertrain, driving dynamic, connected car, environment and cost.
 
The Ioniq 5 received 582 points out of a possible 800, while the EQB got 562.  
 
By category, Auto Bild gave the Ioniq 5 higher scores in five of the seven categories, excluding driving comfort and connected car.
 
In terms of charging capability, the Ioniq 5 far outpaced the EQB with nine out of 15 as opposed to five.
 
"It is very inspiring that Ioniq 5 is being highly recognized in Germany, which is considered the homeland for premium auto brands," said a spokesperson for Hyundai Motor. "Hyundai Motor will constantly lead the EV market with our own competitiveness."
