The inside cabin felt way bigger in the ioniq because it was built from the ground up as an EV, while the Kona had the same layout as the gas model.
Without need to have space for the transmission there no need for that channel along the floor so the center console can be shaped differently and more floor space.
Interesting I always felt it was smaller by just a few inches but I guess it was really the other way around.
I like how our Kona looks more than how the newer konas are but the ioniq looks like it belongs in the nice areas of Night City in cyberpunk 2077.

Not 100% sure I have the exact right cars, but it would seem the Ioniq 5 is actually bigger. More incentive to keep the Kona!
