The fineness ratios should be compared.
The rooflines should be compared.

I'm unsure which IONIQ you're referring to. I can't seem to keep up.
It may be that Hyundai/KIA/Genesis doesn't want to risk patent or copyright infringement with Tesla, so they've settled for a little higher drag.

If you'll do additional heat-shielding, exhaust wrap, or both, heat shouldn't be an issue. ICBM missile silos use nothing but concentric rings of sheet metal shells with dead air spaces in between to insulate them.
Kenny Lyon's BMW exhaust system was completely-wrapped on his Cd 0.11 streamliner motorcycle. And he was 'inside' the body at all times, with the exhaust!
If you keep the car long enough, the mods will easily pay for themselves.
I’m already above 110k miles and don’t plan on keeping the car for more than another 3-4 years so the heat shielding is already jacking up the price. Maybe on my next car I’ll go crazy off the dealership lot with all of that

And Hyundai made 3 ioniqs that look the same in 2017/2018. Hybrid. Plug in hybrid. And full ev

Not talking about the Ioniq 5. Just Google 2019 Ioniq ev and you’ll see it’s the same body style as my Ioniq, just a fully smooth front grill, and smooth under body.
