Can’t decide between a Henry Moore sculpture and transportation? The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is art you can drive. The Streamliner design is one of the most aerodynamics silhouettes on the road, as low as .22 Cd. Look past the curves and arcs and you’ll see squares within squares. And since it’s built on the E-GMP platform with its 800V architecture, it juices quickly at DC fast charge station. With E.P.A. rated range as high as 361 miles, you might not need to very often. Tom Voelk travels to the Phoenix, Arizona press event for a first look at an AWD Limited model with AWD in Transmission Blue.
Special thanks to drive partner Robber Duffer for spending time to drive so I can get running footage.

As a current ioniq5 owner, I am pleasantly surprised at how nice the ioniq6 is having seen one close up and sat in. It will do well! Kudos to the Ioniq design team for pushing the design boundaries.
i envy you
I doubt a sedan is going to do well when the nicer, bigger 5 exists
Just got mine and love it!
"Bionic Dolphin Design"..... Tom wins the internet today!
another great, balanced review. I love how you always cut through the 'headline' reactions people have sometimes and speak to the pragmatic reality of the different aspects of the vehicle. well done. keep it up.
Spot on. This is one of the many reasons why I go back to Tom for the sanity check on new cars.
Have had mine for a month now, and loving it, still enjoying the looks I get when on the roads.
Definitely would recommend this EV to anyone who likes style, luxury, and comfort.
It's really growing on me. If I get one I shall name it Ecco the Dolphin.
Another great honest sensible review 😊. The car is so beautiful and I love the interior accents of the components. Korean autos, with their continuous improvements soon will be the ones to beat.
Man... oh man... i remember the Hyundai of the 80s and 90s ..... what a difference... good job hyundai
Glad to watch your review Tom! Happy you noticed many of our design teams efforts :-)… best wishes from Seoul!
Pretty cool stuff Simon, keep up the excellent work. Too much stuff to stuff into one video. It's actually on my list for when I make the jump to all-electric.
Thanks for your entertaining and informative reviews!
My pleasure. And thanks!
I saw this car when I travelled to Korea last month and it does look beautiful in person. I initially dismissed this car when I saw pictures. It's a bold statement from Hyundai and you really have to see it in person to appreciate the design
Like I said...
Thanks Tom, for a very useful review.
I like the styling of the Ionic 6 - both inside and out, and I think Hyundai will sell every single one that they can produce.
great review; very compelling
Excellent as always!!!!!!
An excellent review of a very impressive car.
Thanks Tom, for a very useful review. You have given me a good sense of what it is like to see the exterior and interior and to actually drive. Much better than 2 other reviews i have watched. A very interesting car! I cant help but compare it to my BMW i4. there are some real similarities and some differences. I cant wait for EA to get their act together OR Tesla to widely open the Supercharger network to non Teslas!
I'll take a polarizing design like this any day. Another great review, Tom. And hope you enjoyed your stay here in Arizona ... brush with the authorities and all. We'll put in a good word for you on your next trip down.
Your police are very pleasant and understanding. At least to me...
Tom, If the Ioniq 6 is art, it is Dadaism. 😉
Dada rejects reason and embraces randomness. This is pretty intentional.
@@DrivenCarReviews 😁
@@DrivenCarReviews i think it's in the avant-garde-ism range of art nouveau...
Great review and nice car too! For me the Model Y LR is a clear winner at this price point. I’m glad you mentioned dealer markups which is encouraged by the very low production numbers for Hyundai EVs 😞
Yea right now it's hard to beat the Y. For the price of the I6 I don't want a sedan with limited cargo space. If Hyundai used 400v architecture maybe they could keep their prices down to be competitive.
Tesla? How boring
@@TheAdventureAuto If any of German makes introduce the SAME IONIQ5 AND IONIQ6 under their badge, their pricing could be way higher than those of Hyundai even though there are on 400V charing architecture. I personally believe that since Hyundai and its family makes unbeatable EVs at a bargain price, rest of makes even dare to think of cherishing the sweet taste of rip-off from the ICE era.
Gorgeous design 👌 😍 ❤
I think I like this colour the best!
Another great review, Tom. I love the Ioniq 5. This one...well if going by looks alone and only having to choose between this and a Pontiac Aztec, I'd pick the Aztec. Ya, like you said, not my cup of tea. Ironic how the rep said they didn't want to make cars that look like other cars. Even you mention this looks like a CLS, also mention the resemblance to a 911 and I think it looks like a CLA. All that aside, I have to say it's still an amazing car.
Super Thanks!
Thank you too!
Looks fantastic
Thanks!
Sorry I missed this, but thanks a bunch. Much appreciated!
"Robot Flipper". Oh Geez, now I can't unsee that!
Hmmm. But it's more of a porpoise than a dolphin, isn't it?
👏👏👏 TEAM DRIVEN.......HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE
I sincerely hope these things still exist when I'm ready to get an EV
It looks like something Saab would make if they were still around, which I mean as a complement. I always liked Saab turbos. I think it looks great!
Good review.
The European and Australian cars get heated rear seats and cameras for mirrors on the top model.
Can only buy online ( sight unseen )in Australia though and not through dealers.
Model names are different in different countries. Why?
Very interesting car.
I've been following the rollout of this car for months, and so far I've not seen a single photo or video of the front end with a North American sized license plate affixed. If someone has a link to such a photo, please post it in reply to this comment. I'm wondering where it attaches so that it doesn't affect either the forward-facing sensors or the air intake louvers. Thanks!
I'm not in the US, but the HUD is a game changer - so much that I don't even use CarPlay/Android Auto, as the directions are just projected onto the windscreen/road in front of me. I like your 'six-y' joke too Tom.
I really love the styling on this. Looks very sleek and aerodynamic. I do wish the interior would come in darker colors than what I saw here and that it was a hatchback for better versatility.
I have black interior in my 6. It is pretty
love the exterior. hate the giant screen. at least it's not a crossover!!!
Charging speed second to Lucid and Porsche? That's third isn't it?! 🤔😉😘 Love the work as always Tom.
I didn't say that, and won't say that. It depends on so many factors that I would say, in the real world, they're all about the same.
Very interesting, the Ioniq 6 is a standout like the Hudson was in the 1940-1950's.
It does look like a dolphin; can't un-see it! I like it, though.
They did that on porpoise 😅
@@tristanpaniak1 i see what u did there.
I feel like Hyundai is super fast about getting their products out, this is already available for purchase at my car dealer
Yes, I saw one in the wild when I was at the Toyota Prius Prime event in San Diego a few days after I was at the Hyundai event.
Kudos on bionic dolphin design comment… said what i couldn’t articulate
Is a evolution of Porsche 😮😯😀
Slick looking car! Very “sixy” 😂. I love how it looks. Part aero generic and part Saab vibes, but I think it’s the best look ev sedan out there.
I see a lot of Hyundai Tiburon in the exterior design, it's the first thing I tought at the reveal
Tom, you're not in Kansas, er Seattle, anymore!
The lack of a hatch sacrifices some usability, but it makes for a quieter vehicle. Good compromise for some of us.
@ 12:28 What is the title of the music in the background? This is the second review I've seen in this vehicle; it looks pretty sweet. Before I decide we'll wait to see Tom's review on the Kia EV9 and the Ioniq 7 Tom, Good review. 👍👍
It's production music and it's off my drives so sorry, can't answer that.
Great review Tom. Hyundai is making some great EV’s. The 5 won awards worldwide. The 6 is a beautiful design and very fast changing. However challenges for them will be no rebates and lack of supply. You cannot get a 5 today up to 2yr waiting time and if you find one the dealer markups and fees are a turn off. With such good cars why is there so low production?
There are still supply chain issues. Simple as that. And yes, the ADMs are a turn off, but we live in a free market economy, for better or for worse.
@@DrivenCarReviews Why do you feel there production is so low?
My understanding is they are not profitable yet, so they limit production to limit losses. Seems like all of the legacy automakers are facing the same issue 😞
Hopefully automakers can start selling direct at some point like Tesla does. We can dream anyway 😊
@@Woodcote Not true. The Hyundai group says it's very happy with profits from E-GMP cars.
Great that Hyundai is not charging subscription fees for stuff that came with the car. And the 361 mile range for a rwd model is impressive. I’m hoping that with the change to electric that Hyundai has none of the reliability issues that occurred with their ICE vehicles. That whale tail in the rear, though: that really looks goofy. I’m thinking it must be there for the excellent aerodynamics. And Hyundai continues to excel at interiors.
So Tom, what became of Part 2 of the Lucid Air report?
The tail is definitely for aero. Looks fine to me in person. The Lucid PT 2 will be awhile, since I have too much new stuff to pump out. But it's coming.
I hear this car will straighten out if driven in the wet Pacific Northwest hmm 🤷🏻♂️
Tom,I liked your dolphin reference 👏🏼👌🏼
Apparently there still is a market for stand-out EVs. Some buyers seem to appreciate that the underlying tech looks different.
Having just attended the NY Intl Auto Show, I can attest that VW ID.4 and Mustang Mach-E have higher quality-feeling interiors. Nissan Ariya is outstanding. BUT ... 800 volt charging and other conveniences make this car still to be seriously considered. Lastly, the Ioniq 5 would be, for me, a more sensible choice.
That's a matter of uh...taste. id4 higher quality...really? Hmm...I know your baseline....
In Germany, we get HUD and heated rear seats, but no digital keys.
Please you can review a Mitsubishi Outlander phev.
rear of the ioniq 6 is giving me saab 900 vibes
True. Hadn't thought about that.
Thanks for this calm and helpful review. I am guessing a collapsible wheelchair might well NOT fit in the boot?
Probably not but I suggest trying.
I drove a Ioniq 6 today. The Android Auto feature was wireless.
I am waiting to replace my wife’s Tucson. Hoping there is an SUV version of the Ioniq (taller than Ioniq 5) coming.
I can’t convince her to get the Ioniq 5.
Many people focus on range but don’t like what it takes to get that 300+ miles of range. I prefer the utility of our Ioniq 5 which has plenty of range for our needs. The Ioniq 6 looks well suited for the frequent road tripper.
The Ioniq 5 is more practical for a family and the Ioniq 6 looks better for anyone that doesn't need the extra space.
I rather choose the Sienna van over this
Ionic 5 or 6 is completely different in the would exterior and interior I think hp and torque are the same this 5 or6 I would say 6 looks more beautiful and upscale than 5 however ionic 5 chauffeur seat is very congested legs touch the shifter gauge i saw the video and also back head touch on the roof
Everything behind the rear passenger doors looks weird. Should have been a hatch like the stinger. The need to condense down the choices for trims.
*The video is unwatchable because of the background music* I don't mind a short music-supported intro, but then it should have ended at around 0:16.
No hatch is a dealbreaker for me. I hate "hatch tease" cars like the Honda Clarity that should be hatches, but are not on further inspection
It's better looking than the boring cookie cutter Teslas.
Just as with the movie biz, look what a vibrant open society does in Korea compared to China.
I like that it exists and I’m not 100% sure about the styling outside but the efficiency is very attractive. The trunk is the dealbreaker for me .
It's interesting to watch the auto industry try sell $50-$60,000+ vehicles to the public as mainstream. I understand that you'll save $1,000 a year in fuel and a few hundred dollars in maintenance, and there's an intrinsic value to saving the environment (even though I once read an unbiased report that said that total lifetime emissions of the "average" electric vehicles are only about 30-40% better than that of the lifetime emissions of an "average" ICE vehicle). However, ultimately, there's no getting around the fact that you can buy two mainstream ICE vehicles for about the cost of one electric vehicle. I really wonder if we're still in the early adopter phase and as the economies of scale ramp-up we see prices drop, or if they really are preparing us to spend this much money for so little car.
There seems to be no problems selling these at 50-60K. Technology has always started high and become more affordable. There's always Chevy Bolt.
@@DrivenCarReviews I considered a Chevy Bolt, but I live in upstate NY. With no heat pump, I wasn't willing to take the huge hit in range during the late fall-early spring. At the end of the day, 99.8% of us all have a budget when we buy a car, and this really is just a Sonata hybrid with an electric rather than a hybrid powertrain; it's extraordinarily hard to justify paying $20,000 more to save $500 a year in fuel. Not to mention, we could build a heck of a lot more hybrids with the same amount of lithium and have a far greater impact on total emissions going that route. I guess I'm just bitter that we're trying to run before we can walk.
@@brianthomas2839 Too bad Bolt doesn't work for you, it's a great affordable EV. Ioniq 6 is not "just a Sonata with an electric motor". It really is a completely different animal. I'll argue EVs are not just about saving fuel and lowering emissions. There's added refinement and performance (and convenience if you charge at home). So, for some, that extra money is worth paying. Better features and design nearly always cost more as you move up the ladder. A Frank Lloyd Wright home will always go for more than a Toll Brothers.
Tesla Model 3 is about 35k with tax credit and some are go below 30k with state and local incentives
@@Woodcote Rebates will be gone in April and anyone who lives in an area that experiences four seasons wouldn't want the model that goes for that price.
Did they say why they dropped heads-up?
Didn't get to ask.
I love the presenter stating that Hyundai doesn't want to produce cars that look the same. But it's clear that they are happy to make them look like others - like a MBZ C Class.
Nice to have but realistically, wish could have the more affordable BYD EVs instead
Dealer markup is a serious problem. I have a tesla 3. When I was shopping for a 2nd EV, I wanted something other than tesla. The dealer markup from kia, Hyundai and Ford killed the deal and drove me back to tesla
Right. Where Elon raised prices dramatically. Just like the dealerships. Only directly.
@@DrivenCarReviews Did he? I thought Tesla dropped prices a month or two ago up to 20% off. Also, there is something with people not minding high MSRP, but balking at paying markup to a dealer.
Will it be insurable?
I just bought a 6 and it is insured under my current insurer. Got quotes from all the main insurance companies
What a beautiful car. Wish it qualified for the tax credit though.
Not too sure about the rear tho
The rear is the best part about the design!
The dashboard with two blanks, nah.
Shocked there is no HUD in this model.
Nice but the cargo space doesn't work for anyone with more than a spouse riding along. Who will be the first to offer an EV wagon?
I use the back seat to haul things all the time. No problems there, especially if it's just you and the Mrs.
@Driven Car Reviews With Tom Voelk sorry, I could have been more clear or personal - we have the two of us, two boys and a medium sized dog. Surprisingly, the Tesla 3 works for us but I would kill to have another ten liters in the Volvo format. Neither of us can stand SUVs.
I agree this would look so much better as a wagon along with improved utility 😢
I have the 6. I clean houses for a living for 20 years. With drivers seat down, I carry: large vac, stick vac, cleaning supplies mop a foldable cart and extra supplies in it. Lol
Only 20% of the Supercharger network is opening to all cars.
👏👏👏👏👏
How's the P2 treating you? Pretty cool car...
@@DrivenCarReviews Honestly, I didn't expect to love it this much! It is just so well built. I wish I had the faster charging, real wheel bias, and longer range of the upcoming '24 update, but still, so happy! Can't wait to get rid of our old Mk1 TT when some kind of sporty EV coupe comes along... whenever that may be...
How about an ice version that costs half as much?
Try the refreshed Sonata.
Half price? ICE car are expensive these days too then add maintenance 😅. There are a number of good videos comparing 5 year cost to own between an EV and a cheaper ICE car and the EVs always come out better in the long run
That’s an exact description of what the Hyundai Sonata is.
I don't know why everybody all of a sudden want everything to be a hatch-back... That's what they got the ionic 5 for...
The hatch design is simply easier when loading things, it makes the Polestar 2 a more practical vehicle. I'll assume a big hatch interfered with design or structure.
As Art You Can Drive will this car fit in at Burning Man?
Sorry Tom, every time you do an electric car review, I keep wondering about the elephant in the room.
I get the cops called on me all the time while making videos.
I would like an Ioniq 5 AWD review.
Here ya go- th-cam.com/video/_Qh1Xzg85b8/w-d-xo.html
I thought AZ is sand, cactuses, big spiders, vultures waiting for you to die, and now just by random a place where an electric car is being tested at.
Were you arrested?
I wonder if there is a cool Tom Voelk mugshot.
I had a very nice chat with the officer, who was cool, but pretty firm I leave.
I’m a PR professional, which may be why I’m so turned off to manufacturer rep BS. I’m sticking with Steve, Doug and Alex. Bye now.
See ya!
At first, I thought someone put a movie of my dog wiping her arse on the lawn. Nope. Maybe KIИA will do it better like they did with the EV6. They are better with exterior design...except for stupid logos.
It makes no sense that you americans dosen't use pound watts and pound watt hours
Great review as always but no this is not art it's just a trendy looking electric car that is slightly tacky that will look very dated in a few years. I'll stick to my Ioniq 5 thank you.
I have to disagree with you on the styling. I think it's a rare miss for Hyundai. It just will not age well and it doesn't look that great now. There's no cohesiveness to its proportions and/or details no matter how many 'pixels' it has. The Ionic 5 however, is still my favorite EV on the market right now. Looks cool from all angles. But like most EVs, they are all so expensive with but a few exceptions. As for affordable models, the Bolt CUV is likely the best choice for those looking for a reasonably priced EV option... and it looks great.
Good art is provocative.
not everyone has good taste.
hopefully the economy collapses later this year so that these insane prices on Evs come down
Seems like things are getting better. You might check around.
$57k sounds pretty good when you consider Tesla etc. I predict this becomes the car of celeb LA as the Prius did many years ago
Neat but certainly not original. The main line down the car side view is lifted from the Merc CLS. Hyundai likes to lift a lot from European cars.
Very nice interior, but my god it's ugly. A Merkur sedan.
Electric cars are boring for boring people.
Overpriced.....
Why did they make it ugly though? And it sucks on range. And it sucks on ergonomics.
Too wimpy looking.
Hyundai: a car that will catch on fire and/or be stolen. Sorry this brand is amongst the worst and they've treated their existing customers horribly.
Neither is true for their EVs, and the dealerships are not part of Hyundai.
@@lanceareadbhar The dealership experience is its own tragedy. I am talking about Hyundai corporate and their self made immobilizer fiasco. We have no idea what problems their EVs will have down the line but I have no faith/trust that they will be handled competently.
@@Gabriel-ci7db I have seen just two (2) Ioniq 5 in one year. Will I see any Ioniq 6 at all?
Keep the production down and the prices up - new std.
