I've been in a tesla 3 and even in a model s. I sat in this ionic 6 the other day in the show room and it was like a space ship. So impressive in and out. Styling is far superior.
The design is unique, I would not compare it to anything. Regarding the head room in the rear, most families carry kids around not adults bar from a few occasions. It is a great car by Hyundai.
Our AWD Ioniq 6 with 18" wheels gets 14 - 14.5 kWh/100km highway summer driving here in mountainous BC, Canada. I have driven the Tesla Model 3 (2021) and the Ioniq drives better, smoother, quieter and I like the console better. That being said, the Tesla seems quicker and the software and the charging network are better. The Ioniq 6 drives better and has very good efficiency.
"highway summer driving" something smells fishy here. Are you picking Summer because that gives the best figures? Surely including a season in car data sounds odd to you, it's like saying the noise of my computer at home is 37 dB in Spring. You'd rightly ask why I included the season.
@@sentryion3106 Got that right. We had -25c the other day and the range does get a big hit but for our "usual" winter driving, my range is around 3.4 miles/kWh.
@@AutomotiveWoman "Summer" meaning from roughly April, when we brought the car, to early November when the temps dived. Our "winter" driving efficiency is about 3.4 miles/kWh. The biggest range hit is local driving, short trips. I imagine if the car was in a heated garage those trips would be more efficient.
Smooth and easy to drive.. I agree, this was my driving experience. However very difficult to find any engagement. I had the same issue with the driving position, the speed was always a bit covered by the wheel, and the central display home button is also quite far to get to (you can notice this in the video as well).
Nah efficiency is extremely disappointing. These EV's don't look like they getting any better. The old ioniq had great efficiency at between 5-7 miles and this thing only does 3. Sorry that is very poor
@@stevebeever2442 3? I get 3ish in Winter but 4.5 in the warmer months (April to October). The old Ioniq were nice cars but my summer range is 350 miles highway/city driving.
Borrowed my friend's Model 3 for 3 weeks and decided to purchase the Ioniq 6. My main reasons is the Ioniq 6 has buttons and knobs exactly where a normal car would have them (except for the shifter on the steering wheel instead of the middle console) because trying to get my father, father in law and non-tech savy sister in law to feel comfortable with the Model 3 was too much of a hassle and not having access to Android Auto/Apple Carplay made it more annoying to use the tablet to get things done. Also having the Hyundai dealership offer the $7500 fed rebate up front for leasing (Tesla sales person tried to steer me to buying the Model 3 and file my taxes and hope I make enough to qualify for the $7500 fed rebate) and letting me know about the $7500 CA EV rebate plus $2500 Loyalty cash for being a current Hyundai owner made my purchase price (will buy out the vehicles once the lease is up) $41.5k out the door and $34k after my CA EV rebate is approved. The cherry on top is also having 2 years of free charging (unfortunately at Electrify America) so I theoretically can use as many miles as I want with the car and buy it out in the end and not pay for "fuel" for the first 2 years and then use the additional $2k charge card from the CA EV rebate (this is a new incentive on top of the $7500) for the 3rd year. Edit: If I charge at night on a 350kWh charger I actually get the advertised 18 minute charge from 10-80% but if you're looking for an EV you're going to suffer from long waits and downed stations if you try to charge during the day.
As a tesla owner, It would be super awesome if I could just see reviews for other EVs that stop comparing them to Tesla. I've been looking to get an EV6 GT or ETron, I'm on the fence about both, but all anyone wants to talk about is how different they are from what I already have, WAY more discussion is taking place about what's better than Tesla rather than what they offer as an independent car that stands on its own merit. If somebody (like me) isn't in the market for a Tesla, 3/4 of the sales pitch is wasted air. Non-Tesla EV review videos that thumbnail Tesla as a comparison are the real world embodiment of that guy showing everyone the new girl he's dating now hoping his ex will see her and get jealous.
Folks compare to Tesla because it's the benchmark 🧐 Saying that have you tried an "ev6 Vs etron" or "ioniq 5 Vs ev6" search; the results may surprise you 🤨🤨
That doesn't make sense. All cars a have limited set of features and specs. That's why you are seeing all the same things compared like range, and efficiency. There's not too much that is totally different so it is about comparing. And what are you going to compare to other than the number one seller?
You're in the minority. Tesla is still king at least in name recognition and sales, so new offerings will compare to the Tesla to show where they stand. Nothing wrong with that.
I have a different problem. I've never owned an EV but I'd like to get into one next. My 2010 Audi A6 has given me many good years. So my problem is that I get wow'd by all the great crossover and SUV options like the EV9 or Mach-e, not taking a minute to realize that during my 31 years of driving I've only ever bought sedans because I probably like them best. LOL. The Ioniq 6 has come onto the scene at just the right time!
How can you compare the MODEL 3 that rides hard, is harsh and loud when traveling, has No easy buttons for quick operations no drivers display and reliability issues?
Totally agree, just having an iPad in the middle of the dashboard, to me, is really stupid. No easy access buttons, having to go through menus for the simplest things - even to open your glovebox!!
@@darrenbarson3828No need to do that, glove box can be operated by a button on the steering wheel. Curious, what other things do you think need constant need to touch? This is a genuine question as I suspect you've never used one?
Shocked it only returned 3mi/kWh, have you ran another test in a different car? I’ve never seen efficiency as low as 3mi/kWh in my Ioniq 5 which I’ve had since Jan ‘22 and done 18.5k miles.
ya something seems wrong. I have the sel (less efficient wheels) and I just did 4.1 driving mostly highway (65mph). drove from 100% to 5% and got 301 miles, 286 with 15 miles remaining estimate. but my miles per kwh also has gone up since I understood the car better. my drive to work when I first got the car was 3.1, the max i hit now is 4.2. so i think he's just got the settings wrong.
"if you find a charger powerful enough" That is the killing (not killer) comment in a nutshell. It doesn't matter what the aspirations are, when it comes down to it, to become effortlessly useable, it has to be consistent in use. No point crowing about 220kWh charge rate when the matching chargers aren't ubiquitous.
Excellent detail I enjoyed your review thanks and just to note reviews don’t seem to notice how intrusive these “bongs” actually are in these new EV’s. I bought one of these cars six months ago and the bongs never stop…it constantly bongs if you put on/off the cruise control, open the door while charging, one km over the speed limit, move into a different speed limit zone, also you have to keep moving the steering wheel or it constantly warns you to put your hands back on the steering wheel by “bonging”. On most trips it warns you to “take a break” if the car wheels go near the roads studs! There appears to be an oppression with bongs!
With the price that you can buy the Model 3 I don't think Ioniq 6 has any change to beat Tesla. In my contry the Model 3 starts at 31.000 EUR and the Ioniq 6 at 48.000
Not true in the U.S. version and Fremont Factory is just 50 miles away whilst I-6 came from S Korea. Mine goes not 361 but 371 miles not kilometers on ECO setting on Level 3 Regen braking post 80% ccs charge balance of L-2 charger topping off to 3 7 2 Miles availability ! LR FWD one motor and one person drive.
The question that has to be answered with any EV review --- Is this a better option than the MG (fill in blank) or Tesla (fill in blank) in terms of price, warranty, range or supercharger network. The answer is always no
I am always surprised at how and even why car makers don’t nail down the obvious things. The need to fit two normal build six foot plus adults in the back comfortably should be a given in a full size saloon.
It's surprising that you had the 20" wheels with a lower trim, in most market they are only available on the top trim. Efficiency is better with the 18"
Typical mistake of testing the entry version and comparison it to a Tesla. The higher versions feel much better and easily beat at Tesla. Any Tesla feels cheap compared to the higher level versions of the Ioniq 6 (or 5).
Maybe, but these factors are still somewhat subjective. What's not subjective is that the still competitive base Model 3 is then astronomically cheaper them these top end Hyundais.
@@vasil7410 But that is not a fair comparison. You need to compare Model 3 Performance with enhanced autopilot and various options to the AWD version of the Ioniq 6!
@@ManfredvonHolstein Not really. All the performance Model 3 does is add more speed and some more range. Everything else about the car is the same. Enhanced autopilot and FSD are options available in any Telsa model and variant and, in any case, Hyandai don't yet have any cars that can replicate the capabilities that come with these Telsa options.
@@vasil7410 Indeed, Hyundai hasn't ripped off its customers to test some immature self-driving software. In fact Hyundai provides the equivalent of enhanced auto-pilot for free. And yes you are also right that every Tesla has the same basic trim which looks and feels really cheap!
@@ManfredvonHolstein Hyandai's have features like auto-summon? Are you sure? Well, I guess you are entitled to your opinions about which cars feels like better quality and is better value. What I can say as a matter of fact, is not many people agree with you, if EV sales figures and car reviewers are anything to go by.
I have an Ioniq 6 Ultimate RWD and the range I get is around 345 miles depending on how I drive and the weather conditions, as with all Evs they get fewer miles in the cold.
I love driving my new Ioniq 5. Great safety features, amazing pickup, plenty of passenger room, room for 2 golf bags and advertised range was comparable with other EVs on the market. When I first got the car I was getting about 3.6 miles/kwh. However, had I known then what I know now about the car, I wouldn't have leased it (thankfully I didn't buy it). What I know now is that Hyundai recommends that it be charged to 80% of full charge to minimize degradation of battery. The dealer also recommended that the battery charge not fall below 20%. What this means is that you only use 60% of the battery's capacity therefore only getting 60% of the advertised range or about 130 miles!! If I wanted to drive my Ioniq 5 from my home in NJ to my home in Florida, I'd have to recharge 10 times adding 5 hours to the travel time best case (assuming charging station was immediately available (which is never the case.) To compound the problem is that the mileage recently dropped from 3.6 miles/kwh to between 1.6 - 2.1 miles/kwh (temperature is now in the 35-45 degree range now.) Now my maximum range is about 78 miles if I keep within to 20%-80% charging suggestion. Keep this information in mind when thinking about purchasing any EV.
It’s a very good attempt by Hyundai,Tesla model 3 is still more efficient,brand new Tesla model 3 is coming very soon which is supposedly to be mind blowing,great video Doug 👍😉💪
Seems like a car that Colin the sales guy will buy. 95% of the time he will be the only person in the car, rendering the extra doors and mass mostly pointless.
Sorry, but you were clearly stretching when testing the headroom, as soon as you started talking normally again, there was plenty of room. Also it does NOT come with wireless Apple car play or Android Auto - they are wired only, no matter what trim level.
'Fuel' effficiency / range estimates are such chaos for electric cars. At one point this video is saying "we carefully measured the efficiency at 3.0 miles / kwh" which equates to 222 miles to EMPTY on a 74 kwh FULL charge and immediately then continues talking about the great range as if it's really 300 miles plus. Electric cars have maybe a half or a third the range of gas cars, I get it, it's ok, but this constant obscuring of any sensible comparison between cars just says the industry is a bit of a scam.
This. It's driving me nuts! A year on from your comment and it's still no better... Suppose the WLTP is all you can go on, then take a quarter off maybe?
A huge missed opportunity here to make a true Model 3 or Polestar 2 rival but they just went too far with the styling and ended up with a compromised marmite car. Not great efficiency maybe partly down to excessive weight compared to the 3 and poorer thermal management. Probably won't sell that well the smart money going on the Ioniq 5 or new Kona EVs
Owned this car for 5 weeks approx. Good points - excellent range, very smooth drive, fast charging, future proof. Bad points - turning circle terrible, has the worst seating position of any car I have ever owned, incessant beeping (yes you cna turn it off but you have to do it every time you restart the car) its god awful. No wireless apple car play. Ended up going back to mercedes diesel... each to their own.
Looking for that Tesla you were drooling over... The full line up of winners is: World Car of the Year - Hyundai Ioniq 6 World Electric Vehicle - Hyundai Ioniq 6 World Luxury Car- Lucid Air World Performance Car- Kia EV6 GT World Urban Car- Citroen C3 World Car Design- Hyundai Ioniq 6 The Person of the Year - SangYup Lee, Head of Hyundai and Genesis Global Design Center.
I had a look at this car in a showroom yesterday. Bad quality plastic everywhere combined with very tight headroom in the rear seats make it a NO GO for me
Who has the better warranty, and how long is the battery protected. That's the difference for me. Tesla batteries have proven themselves and Hyundai is better than other ICE automakers for EVs in my opinion. But back to the question, which warranty is the best and for how long. Reason for asking is ONLY Tesla or only Hyundai can service their own made cars. We don't have enough EV techs and each automaker has the monopoly.
I agree with your comments but the Tesla is as common as muck even though it’s a good car and yes it maybe cheaper but that amount of cars in the market place has to effect the resale values
You can't say the Ioniq 6 has "fantastic electric range" Your real world test in this video gives the Ioniq 6 a 231 mile real world range against Hyundai's claimed 338 miles. The Model 3 will have 240 miles range in the same test despite having an almost 20% smaller battery.
Look the iqonic has the potential to be a good car but with all the issues hyundai has and lack of interest because they can’t deliver many, the iqonic is just dead in the water.
Why would you prefer to see… grotesquely boring and ugly Model 3’s everywhere or some cars that have actually been designed, rather than melted into a shape. After all these years, Teslas are still as ugly and unappealing, so to have funky, quirky cars from the Koreans is a welcome sight.
This is an odd one. I'm a huge fan of the Ioniq5, but this is an awkward design The front looks unfinished, and the rear resembles an early 00's Infiniti J30. Not good. The Model 3 is a much smarter, more coherent and clean design. And the Ioniq5 is cooler.
It would be of interest if WHICH could do a deep dive into how a ship with ev end up destroyed by i doubt you want to find out because it might hurt ev sales.😂😂😡😡.....why is tesla a start-up kicking the butts of ford,bmw,vw,volvo etc !!!
Laughable that people are still using that "tesla killer" line about a car that's STILL the benchmark, 6 years down the line, as nobody has built anything that can actually beat it yet.
Boot 400lt , range 450km( probably with limited a/c and hifi use) , charging time 18min with .....220kw , NOPE !!! Electrical technology is immature , maybe 10 years later , because I respect the money I earn !!
The car needs the Saab Neve Emily GT system as that give you more range and more space in car . This car should been a true Coupe then the seats in back will make more sense and acceptable. Also Until other manufacturers(Ford and GM have got it and have done a deal with Tesla so they can use Tesla charging points but sadly only for US at the moment . Yes Tesla is Slowly very slowly opening it to other cars but the diff between that and Ford GM deal is that they able plug in to All and without using adaptors if buy new cars from next year.)in there heads why Tesla will always be number 1 even if there cars are better is Tesla charging infer-structure. The other Important thing you must know is that Exxon/Mobile (Esso) are Heavily invested into Hydrogen and plans to put into there stations in place of few normal fuel pumps . Hopefully they will do world wide not just US.
yet to be convinced about Hydrogen being green, and if the petrochemical industry is investing in it, which they are, then its production is NOT green, but YES zero emissions with Hydrogen is very good.
Never ever a tesla, the way mister tesla behaves only makes me want to buy another car. But now he is facing opposition in Scandinavia, take that mister tesla
The most important thing is the battery so let’s start with that and end with that. My iPhone is 3 years old and it has degraded to 81% so what’s the degradation for this car’s battery? How much is a new battery? How many miles do you get if you are driving in the winter? How far will you get with a family of 4 towing a caravan from Nottingham to Cornwall? Will my week’s holiday be over before I get there it will I have to make do with Skegness? It took me 4 minutes to fill my car from entering the service station with an empty tank to leaving it what makes politicians think I want to hang around for hours or is that the point if it all that we give up & stop travelling? What is the impact on the environment for these things for their lifetime? What happens to all the old batteries? I know you know, the world knows we won’t see these cars being driven when they are ten years old, the people that would want to buy them couldn’t afford the batteries 😉
@@sa34w I can tell you the batteries degrade just as fast as a mobile phone battery they hardly get down the road before they need recharging if you tow a caravan or heavy trailers with your tools or anything else that is heavier than cotton wool
@@Thorpeman Actually , they don't - different technology. do Apple give an 8 year warranty on their batteries? No because they degrade so much after only a couple of years, but electric car manufacturers give 8 years+ warranties.
@@ThorpemanThat's less about weight than aerodynamics. I agree that a caravan would be a poor experience right now, I wouldn't bother. On the other hand, utterly loving driving our EV down through France and Switzerland. 😂 Please don't diss Skeggy though, we're heading that way later in August, already done Cornwall back in April. Apparently, none of this is possible in an EV and we're supposed to just stick to going to the local ASDA? I didn't get that memo unfortunately.😊
The iqonic is over priced, never in stock because they don’t make many, and still doesn’t hold a candle to the very popular model 3 and model Y as well as the very popular BYD range, iqonic doesn even make the top 10 evs in Australia, it makes poor sales and very few people want it. So just buy a tesla or ByD.
I had it for a week as a rental in Croatia. I managed 300-305 (480-490 km) miles on a full charge.
Most people I think don’t care how quick it gets to 60mph, I care a lot more how quickly it gets from 10-80% charge…. WAY more important
I completely agree! Because who has time to wait 6-8hrs to fully charge an EV!
@@Monarq-qDon't you sleep at night?
Why is this so important? For 99% of use cases, EVs will charge at home whilst you are sleeping.
In your opinion
I do care what's the 0 60, I really don't care how much it takes on a domestic outlet to charge if I can charge it overnight

Mine goes not 361 but 371 miles not kilometers on ECO setting on Level 3 Regen braking post 80% ccs charge balance of L-2 charger topping off to 3 7 2 Miles availability ! LR FWD one motor and one person drive.
RWD a bit twitchy in the corners?
The question that has to be answered with any EV review --- Is this a better option than the MG (fill in blank) or Tesla (fill in blank) in terms of price, warranty, range or supercharger network. The answer is always no
I am always surprised at how and even why car makers don’t nail down the obvious things. The need to fit two normal build six foot plus adults in the back comfortably should be a given in a full size saloon.
People that are 6’ tall are too heavy and effect performance and range they want anorexic dwarfs so they don’t impact on range
Interesting, helpful video of a compromised, expensive car, the same length and width as an SUV, but less space- what a great idea?
Not everyone likes SUVs though...
You definitely did something wrong with that efficiency test. I have the less efficient version of that car and my average is 4.1 with the sel.
It's surprising that you had the 20" wheels with a lower trim, in most market they are only available on the top trim.
Efficiency is better with the 18"
This car should have a sliding rear seat. Why have so much legroom and so little headroom? Other than that this car is great.
It's nice but for price standard model 3 just wins hands down anytime
Typical mistake of testing the entry version and comparison it to a Tesla. The higher versions feel much better and easily beat at Tesla. Any Tesla feels cheap compared to the higher level versions of the Ioniq 6 (or 5).
Maybe, but these factors are still somewhat subjective. What's not subjective is that the still competitive base Model 3 is then astronomically cheaper them these top end Hyundais.
@@vasil7410 But that is not a fair comparison. You need to compare Model 3 Performance with enhanced autopilot and various options to the AWD version of the Ioniq 6!
@@ManfredvonHolstein Not really. All the performance Model 3 does is add more speed and some more range. Everything else about the car is the same. Enhanced autopilot and FSD are options available in any Telsa model and variant and, in any case, Hyandai don't yet have any cars that can replicate the capabilities that come with these Telsa options.
@@vasil7410 Indeed, Hyundai hasn't ripped off its customers to test some immature self-driving software. In fact Hyundai provides the equivalent of enhanced auto-pilot for free. And yes you are also right that every Tesla has the same basic trim which looks and feels really cheap!
@@ManfredvonHolstein Hyandai's have features like auto-summon? Are you sure? Well, I guess you are entitled to your opinions about which cars feels like better quality and is better value. What I can say as a matter of fact, is not many people agree with you, if EV sales figures and car reviewers are anything to go by.
Funny how these reviewers never talk about the absolute poor build quality of Teslas.
The same reviewers who never like to talk about the mess that Ford is in throughout Europe.
So, according to your figures, the Ioniq 6 has a maximum range of 230 miles?
I have an Ioniq 6 Ultimate RWD and the range I get is around 345 miles depending on how I drive and the weather conditions, as with all Evs they get fewer miles in the cold.
I love driving my new Ioniq 5. Great safety features, amazing pickup, plenty of passenger room, room for 2 golf bags and advertised range was comparable with other EVs on the market. When I first got the car I was getting about 3.6 miles/kwh. However, had I known then what I know now about the car, I wouldn't have leased it (thankfully I didn't buy it). What I know now is that Hyundai recommends that it be charged to 80% of full charge to minimize degradation of battery. The dealer also recommended that the battery charge not fall below 20%. What this means is that you only use 60% of the battery's capacity therefore only getting 60% of the advertised range or about 130 miles!! If I wanted to drive my Ioniq 5 from my home in NJ to my home in Florida, I'd have to recharge 10 times adding 5 hours to the travel time best case (assuming charging station was immediately available (which is never the case.) To compound the problem is that the mileage recently dropped from 3.6 miles/kwh to between 1.6 - 2.1 miles/kwh (temperature is now in the 35-45 degree range now.) Now my maximum range is about 78 miles if I keep within to 20%-80% charging suggestion.
Keep this information in mind when thinking about purchasing any EV.
It’s a very good attempt by Hyundai,Tesla model 3 is still more efficient,brand new Tesla model 3 is coming very soon which is supposedly to be mind blowing,great video Doug 👍😉💪
Seems like a car that Colin the sales guy will buy. 95% of the time he will be the only person in the car, rendering the extra doors and mass mostly pointless.
Sorry, but you were clearly stretching when testing the headroom, as soon as you started talking normally again, there was plenty of room. Also it does NOT come with wireless Apple car play or Android Auto - they are wired only, no matter what trim level.
I'm 6'1" and sat in one. There isn't room as far as my head is concerned.
Their a bit late to review it!most over reviewers did it about 6months ago.
Love the styling of this car, put a hybrid engine in it and I'm sold
5:51 what is your exact height?
77kWh battery?
I love the looks from the front but not from the rear
'Fuel' effficiency / range estimates are such chaos for electric cars. At one point this video is saying "we carefully measured the efficiency at 3.0 miles / kwh" which equates to 222 miles to EMPTY on a 74 kwh FULL charge and immediately then continues talking about the great range as if it's really 300 miles plus. Electric cars have maybe a half or a third the range of gas cars, I get it, it's ok, but this constant obscuring of any sensible comparison between cars just says the industry is a bit of a scam.
This. It's driving me nuts! A year on from your comment and it's still no better... Suppose the WLTP is all you can go on, then take a quarter off maybe?
Great conclusion
I'd buy one if I could afford it 😅😅😅😅 47K Sterling, no thanks 😅😅😅😅😅
Hey! The steering wheel is on the wrong side!
9:20 lost me at light unengaging steering wheel
what an absolute pity on an ev finally with a body contour like this.. 🤦🏻♀️
A huge missed opportunity here to make a true Model 3 or Polestar 2 rival but they just went too far with the styling and ended up with a compromised marmite car. Not great efficiency maybe partly down to excessive weight compared to the 3 and poorer thermal management. Probably won't sell that well the smart money going on the Ioniq 5 or new Kona EVs
Love the roofline.
All too expensive for the majority of people who are working a normal job which in uk is between 18k to 30 k per annum on top
If Tesla lead the pack now, think how much further ahead they will be when the new model is released in a couple of months.
Looks much better than a Tesla
God yes
Got to agree 110% with you it looks alot more like an futuristic electric car than an Tesla
Owned this car for 5 weeks approx. Good points - excellent range, very smooth drive, fast charging, future proof. Bad points - turning circle terrible, has the worst seating position of any car I have ever owned, incessant beeping (yes you cna turn it off but you have to do it every time you restart the car) its god awful. No wireless apple car play. Ended up going back to mercedes diesel... each to their own.
Looking for that Tesla you were drooling over...
The full line up of winners is:
World Car of the Year - Hyundai Ioniq 6
World Electric Vehicle - Hyundai Ioniq 6
World Luxury Car- Lucid Air
World Performance Car- Kia EV6 GT
World Urban Car- Citroen C3
World Car Design- Hyundai Ioniq 6
The Person of the Year - SangYup Lee, Head of Hyundai and Genesis Global Design Center.
I get close 5mi/kW on my base Model 3. Even much better if I drive like an old granny and don't use the AC or sentry mode.
Hi. I joined the IONIQ 6 on more than 20000 kms, sorry but the model 3 is worst EV Car, TESLA NEVER!
I bet it's got better build quality than a model 3 🤨🤨
That goes without saying.
There is no such thing as "eco-leather". It's called cheap imitation vinyl.
I prefer vinyl to dead animal skin
I always try and stay away from leather seats.
If they convert it to a hatchback. I will consider one
I had a look at this car in a showroom yesterday. Bad quality plastic everywhere combined with very tight headroom in the rear seats make it a NO GO for me
Model 3 remains unbeaten.
Who has the better warranty, and how long is the battery protected. That's the difference for me. Tesla batteries have proven themselves and Hyundai is better than other ICE automakers for EVs in my opinion. But back to the question, which warranty is the best and for how long. Reason for asking is ONLY Tesla or only Hyundai can service their own made cars. We don't have enough EV techs and each automaker has the monopoly.
I agree with your comments but the Tesla is as common as muck even though it’s a good car and yes it maybe cheaper but that amount of cars in the market place has to effect the resale values
Not necessarily. Prices are dictated by supply and demand. Much fewer Ionic 6 available for resale doesn't mean anybody will want to buy them.
I love my Ioniq 6. But boy does it trigger the owners of a Tesla. Not sure if they are jealous or intimidated.
The Ionic 6 would be a no-brainer if it had a tailgate. As it is, it's irrelevant to me. And probably a few million other car buyers.
Ça fait bizarre de voir le volant à droite au lieu de la gauche 😵💫
This car is an eyesore. There's a reason you never see one on the streets
Were they trying to copy the Citroen C6 with this? It looks dated and basic from the outside….what were they thinking?
Pick mine up in 2 weeks. I know it comes up short against the Model 3 but I'd rather take the hit and keep my money out of Elon's pocket
You can't say the Ioniq 6 has "fantastic electric range" Your real world test in this video gives the Ioniq 6 a 231 mile real world range against Hyundai's claimed 338 miles. The Model 3 will have 240 miles range in the same test despite having an almost 20% smaller battery.

Wired car play and wired android auto
There is a lot in this review he got wrong lol
It doesn’t do it for me. EV6 still gets my vote
Android auto and apple CarPlay are NOT wireless!
Nope. The shape is too odd or controversial to challenge the safer looks of Tesla especially the updated 2023 model 3 which looks much nicer.
Why does the ass-end of the ionic 6 look like it’s melting off?
Look the iqonic has the potential to be a good car but with all the issues hyundai has and lack of interest because they can’t deliver many, the iqonic is just dead in the water.
It resembles Porshe
Why would you prefer to see… grotesquely boring and ugly Model 3’s everywhere or some cars that have actually been designed, rather than melted into a shape. After all these years, Teslas are still as ugly and unappealing, so to have funky, quirky cars from the Koreans is a welcome sight.
This is an odd one. I'm a huge fan of the Ioniq5, but this is an awkward design The front looks unfinished, and the rear resembles an early 00's Infiniti J30. Not good. The Model 3 is a much smarter, more coherent and clean design. And the Ioniq5 is cooler.
to many trim levels and options, something tesla does away with. Legacy Manufacturers love selling options
It would be of interest if WHICH could do a deep dive into how a ship with ev end up destroyed by i doubt you want to find out because it might hurt ev sales.😂😂😡😡.....why is tesla a start-up kicking the butts of ford,bmw,vw,volvo etc !!!
Laughable that people are still using that "tesla killer" line about a car that's STILL the benchmark, 6 years down the line, as nobody has built anything that can actually beat it yet.
Anything but a Tesla.
Sorry but downward rear end is ugly. I’ve only seen one on road this week. This wasn’t even consideration on my new EV car purchase.
Boot 400lt , range 450km( probably with limited a/c and hifi use) , charging time 18min with .....220kw , NOPE !!!
Electrical technology is immature , maybe 10 years later , because I respect the money I earn !!
The range can vary depending on various factors, including driving habits and climate control usage.
@@AutomotiveWoman I love to enjoy driving WITHOUT compromises !
what over 6' ers are going to sit on the back of ANY saloon\sedan for a longer time, NO ONE.
The car needs the Saab Neve Emily GT system as that give you more range and more space in car . This car should been a true Coupe then the seats in back will make more sense and acceptable. Also Until other manufacturers(Ford and GM have got it and have done a deal with Tesla so they can use Tesla charging points but sadly only for US at the moment . Yes Tesla is Slowly very slowly opening it to other cars but the diff between that and Ford GM deal is that they able plug in to All and without using adaptors if buy new cars from next year.)in there heads why Tesla will always be number 1 even if there cars are better is Tesla charging infer-structure. The other Important thing you must know is that Exxon/Mobile (Esso) are Heavily invested into Hydrogen and plans to put into there stations in place of few normal fuel pumps . Hopefully they will do world wide not just US.
yet to be convinced about Hydrogen being green, and if the petrochemical industry is investing in it, which they are, then its production is NOT green, but YES zero emissions with Hydrogen is very good.
Thank you Hyundai for making this car.
It stands out in a sea of bland and repetitive crossovers and SUVs.
As long as it’s a Hyundai it’ll never be as good as a 3 series in quality and performance. Ever.

Never ever a tesla, the way mister tesla behaves only makes me want to buy another car.
But now he is facing opposition in Scandinavia, take that mister tesla
The most important thing is the battery so let’s start with that and end with that. My iPhone is 3 years old and it has degraded to 81% so what’s the degradation for this car’s battery? How much is a new battery? How many miles do you get if you are driving in the winter? How far will you get with a family of 4 towing a caravan from Nottingham to Cornwall? Will my week’s holiday be over before I get there it will I have to make do with Skegness? It took me 4 minutes to fill my car from entering the service station with an empty tank to leaving it what makes politicians think I want to hang around for hours or is that the point if it all that we give up & stop travelling? What is the impact on the environment for these things for their lifetime? What happens to all the old batteries? I know you know, the world knows we won’t see these cars being driven when they are ten years old, the people that would want to buy them couldn’t afford the batteries 😉
I think electric cars are built different
@@sa34w I can tell you the batteries degrade just as fast as a mobile phone battery they hardly get down the road before they need recharging if you tow a caravan or heavy trailers with your tools or anything else that is heavier than cotton wool
@@Thorpeman Actually , they don't - different technology. do Apple give an 8 year warranty on their batteries? No because they degrade so much after only a couple of years, but electric car manufacturers give 8 years+ warranties.
@@ThorpemanThat's less about weight than aerodynamics.
I agree that a caravan would be a poor experience right now, I wouldn't bother.
On the other hand, utterly loving driving our EV down through France and Switzerland. 😂
Please don't diss Skeggy though, we're heading that way later in August, already done Cornwall back in April.
Apparently, none of this is possible in an EV and we're supposed to just stick to going to the local ASDA?
I didn't get that memo unfortunately.😊
@djtaylorutube I'm from Nottingham I know skeggy very well but it's not the most scenic place to take your caravan or motor home
This caw will be perfect if paired with Porsche 3.6l flat six engine, with 350bhp ......oh dreams.
Compared to the Tesla performance it seems a bit of a slouch.
The iqonic is over priced, never in stock because they don’t make many, and still doesn’t hold a candle to the very popular model 3 and model Y as well as the very popular BYD range, iqonic doesn even make the top 10 evs in Australia, it makes poor sales and very few people want it. So just buy a tesla or ByD.
Sadly, the BYD isn't available in the U.S.A.
@@seveglider8406 thats because the U.S.A are racist and hate chinese
It’s a great car but let’s be honest it’s fugly.
