Yes back of the Porsche side of a cla or e class coupe upside down banana boat design. Front looks fairly generic and inoffensive bit mazda 6 from the front and the old hyundai coupe I suppose
I honestly think Hyundai really have a home run with that car. At the very least no one can complain it looks like every other car. I'm really happy they are pushing the enveloppe .
Kia employee: Hey, boss, I've got another batch of cars that might catch fire. Do you want me to ship them over to those stupid Americans like we did the last ones? Boss: Sure: We don't care about America as long as they send their money to us in Korea. They love a bargain. Employee and Boss: Ha Ha Ha!
It’s just too expensive compared to Tesla 3 imo. Tesla went for the throat with their pricing in the USA and the tax credits from the govt - gonna be hard for Hyundai to compete.
@@justskot I tend to agree but at least here in California I'm getting real tired of seeing Tesla's all over the place. It might just be worth the extra money to be different.
I love what Hyundai are doing. And I love the design. I don’t really understand why you would choose something as bland as a Tesla model 3 over this. Bravo.
I'll give you one reason. The model 3 is available to buy, without any price gouging by the dealerships. I'll take Hyundai seriously when they build enough of the damn things. As recently as December 2022, the Ioniq 5 was still hard to find. Anyways, the Ioniq 6 looks like a nice car though
@@ThrottleBodyf you want, and you can't buy it, for any reason... It's called a wish 😁 If you're prepared to pay several thousand over MSRP, it's called being a sucker. You do you.
@@strangerdanger8462 I think we can leave the price gouging to Tesla itself. They have been gouging customers in the last couple of years which is evident from the recent price drops.
@@Yubuzka3774 agree with you, and I'll take it further. All EV producers selling in the Western hemisphere are price gouging. The cars are too expensive. The Chinese manufacturers have shown that EVs can be delivered at reasonable prices. Now Tesla has dropped prices. I don't see anyone else doing that. Even this car at over 40k is overpriced. I own a Model S, and a Mini Copper Electric. I still think I paid way too much for them, but it is what it is. I love both cars, so it doesn't matter. Cheers
Thanks Rory. Not seen your channel before, but must say your review is quality. A chap who knows how to deliver a lot of info easily without recourse to gimmicks or misplaced humour. I’m an I5 owner with my name down for the 6, so I watched with interest. I think I’ve done the right thing. Thanks again 😌
I would like to see some EV sedan sell better than the Tesla Model 3. I don't know if this is sporty enough to but hopefully an N version of this will be available sometime soon. I liked the rant about the Hyundai name. As always, just a brilliant review.
Go to China. Almost 50% of all BEVs on the road are in China, most manufacturing of BEVs is in China, so most models of BEV are in China. Some of these may make it to the EU countries but there is a political fight going on right now that keeps Chinese company BEVs from going into the EU and the US and probably Canada as well. I think more of these get into AU though.
@@MrLense yeah these are the majority, but there is this few that prefer tesla unique interior design, there charging infrastructure and tech. That's the only thing that gives me an interest in tesla really.
I own a 2022 Model 3 (bought prior to musk’s descent into madness) primarily for the Supercharging network, which I never use because I charge at home. I’ve never had a problem with the car but the interior ergonomics (no wiper stalk, no physical buttons) are maddening. I look forward to getting another EV in a couple of years. If I was buying a car now, I’d get the Ioniq 6.
You’ve got to ask yourself why the Model 3 sells so well, even when there are cheaper options out there when it comes to BEVs. Heck, it’s also outselling many of its ICE vehicle competitors. Nonetheless, I hope to see more compelling BEV options that are actually produced in high volumes like the Model 3 is. So far, we are only seeing that in China from Chinese EV makers.
My local dealer let me have a 2 hour test drive last week in the dual motor version and I think it's a superb car. Excellent to drive and it was showing 345 miles range when I picked it up. In the photos I wasn't sure about the sloped rear but in the flesh it has so much style and presence, it just works. When I came out of Sainsbury's there was a group of 6 people standing around it, amazed at it's looks. One guy even asked if his 7 year old boy could sit in it! How many new £50k cars can attract that much attention? A model Y performance is obviously quicker but Tesla's are just too common and look boring compared to the 6.
HYUNDAI is low key dominating the EV market. I think they may get a lot of conquest sales from people dumping their Teslas. Hyundai is give you a reasonably priced EV with the familiarity of a regular car - which most people like and are comfortable with.
@@TheSteinbitt Most people I know are willing to pay extra for better quality. A friend of mine who’s dad has the Model X p100d ludicrous has some ridiculous issues with the car. Issues that a 20k car should have and not what you pay for the p100d..
@@TheSteinbitt True - but the Ioniq 6 is a real car from a real car company. I dread the day my 2022 Model 3 needs service. There’s no way I’ll keep past the warranty expiration date. I’m delighted Tesla is getting some real competition.
Drove both Ioniq 5 and 6. They are both smooth, quiet, comfortable, and easy to drive. Choice will depend on individual's lifestyle and fashion. My mother who is 80 years old and aunt who is 90 appreciate Ioniq 6 but it would be great to have heated backseats. I am learning alot from your experience and expertise. Thank you.
I still prefer the exterior look of the Ioniq 5. It is more iconic and distinguishable. Like Rory said, on the 6, it is hard to determine what era the design language comes from, and that puts me off. For every other part of it, it seems like a very lovely car.
The Hyundai Ionic 6 is brilliant! It looks so lovely and it's brilliant that we have some saloons and estates coming soon electric!!!! I hope there are some cheaper versions or used Ionic 6 cars, that's considering electric cars don't break down as quickly which they're shown to be less reliable, because I'd love to buy one!
I currently drive a 2014 Tesla S and this might very likely be my next car. Its got a bit of an old Porsche and old Saab Turbo had a baby vibe, and I totally dig it. The range in the RWD is outstanding as well!
Somebody finally gets what I want. I want an old-style beetle with EV, low maintenance cost, and reasonable performance. Many people will appreciate this, and I am sure this will help value. Good job Hyundai.
Genuinely really like the style and technology, especially for that price point. I only have one small issue with the car. If you're going to drop the roofline in the back that dramatically over the rear wheels, why oh why did you not just make it a hatchback?! Just move the trunk hinge up a little, it's not that hard!
Having the window buttons in the center is freaking great. I’m so stoked that Hyundai is bringing that back. Cannot believe that you thought that was a draw back. Old BMW and Range Rovers used to do that. It just makes sense
The Fiat Panda I used to drive also had them in the center console and I rather liked that, if only because there was no chance of water getting into the switches when you open the doors during heavy rain fall.
Great video! Love the car. Actually, mine is due in April. Curretly driving with an Ioniq 5 dual motor. Anyhow, I don't think the Ioniq 5 is a "bigger brother" to Ioniq 6. They are just different approaches to the theme. They share the same platform and the wheelbase is identical (ok, the Ioniq 5 has got 5 mm longer, but plays no role). The Ioniq 6 is longer from front to back, the Ioniq 5 is naturally taller as it is a crossover. The weight difference is minimal, around 50 kg. I'd say, the only difference is that one is a crossover, the other a "sedan".
Enjoyable review. Interesting that you pick up on the window switches. BMW used to position them in the centre console. Reduces the switch count which I think is good.
I love mine so much! It's a wonderful car and very fun to drive. For me it's the best compromise between a sedan and a sporty car. It's comfy and you can have much fun bcs of its low center of weight and its shape. The tech is awesome, the efficiency is remarkable and you can drive it fast without thinking about the consumption. Enough space for us too. Everytime I can drive it is a pleasure 😁
I bought an i20 N last year (well 2021...but waiting times) and if they make a N version of this I'd be happy to trade up! Until then I'll hang onto this until petrol prices force me out of it.
It's actually a nice looking car. Just don't see why Hyundai and all other automakers insist on putting large range killing wheels on EVs when they put so much work into maximizing range in every other aspect.
I really like Hyundai, I've got a 'classic' Ioniq 28. I really wanted to like the Ioniq 6 but being pleased to get 3mi/kWh is aiming low. It's not that hard to get 5mi/kWh in my car in this weather. Starting at £45,000? That's a shame since they are clearly aiming at the Model 3 market and that starts at £43k and is more efficient. I look forward to seeing the Ioniq 6 coming with smaller wheels and a smaller battery pack. Pitched at sub £40k and managing more than 4mi/kWh and it would be fantastic.
I have an older Ioniq electric that reaches lease end around christmas. Kia, Ioniq 5, and this one are the main contenders to replace it -- and this one looks better all the time. thanks for your review!
I have used this car now for around 5 months. I absolutely adore it. So quiet, smooth and relaxed. If you are thinking of owning one i would suggest having it detailed and a ceramic protective coat put on the paintwork.
Very beautiful car. It reminds me a bit of the old Citroen DS, which both were a horrible car and a design icon in one and the same time. This Hyundai would not be a horrible car, but maybe controversial. I have one gripe with it though: I wish they had made it a hatchback or fastback instead! It is not very practical at all, with a small boot and a narrow opening.
Awaiting the Ioniq 6 to come to the US. Been awaiting an EV that isn't a Tesla or an SUV. The sedan version of the Ioniq 5 sounds perfect. Let's hope it's not overpriced and there are enough to go around. I have owned four Honda Accords in a row.
Back around the early noughties, Hyundai UK were a customer of mine and I remember them running a campaign, with various supporting customer materials, trying to encourage people to say He-yoon-day instead of Hi-yun-die. Nobody took any notice and they quietly dropped the crusade, so hopefully they’ll reach the same conclusion with this latest effort! 😊
Awesome review of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, my favorite car style is sedan, so I prefer the Ioniq 6 to the Crossover Ioniq 5. I like the I 6 design, and I like the dashboard design and buttons for climate control. I like the heated back seats and I like the USB C connection. Some people say the back design looks like a Porsche 911 and the Mercedes EV EQS prototype with the longest range. The Ioniq 6 is good competition for Tesla Model 3,
Lol it’s a Korean company so the British or American pronunciation is technically incorrect. Glad they’re finally letting people know that there is a correct prononciation in Korean. Very informative video!
I personally love it and be keen for one after a test drive. But I've got a feeling most consumers would still rather the Ioniq 5 for that SUV styling.
The more I look at this car the more I like it. It grows on you. It's unique and it looks different at different angles. There's absolutely nothing like it on the road and the gravity gold matte colour looks gorgeous.
I would love to trade in my current Ioniq for this. I feel like I’ve been waiting so long for this car, but alas I don’t currently have the monthly budget 😢
I always pronounced your first name as ‘Raa-re”, but now I’ve been ‘advised’ that is wrong. But screw it, just going to continue to say it my way regardless even though I’ve been told the correct way to pronounce it….
When it comes to pronunciation of foreign brand names, I think it’s a story similar to borrowed words. I don’t think you’d pronounce the word “genre” as “JEN-ner” or “GEN-ree” or whatever sounds better in English, because this wasn’t English in the first place. Brands like Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton etc all have a “correct” pronunciation in their own language. Of course you can always say it the English way, but it just sounds weird and funny. I think we should all respect the “correct” pronunciation of foreign brand names, despite being difficult to say or sounding a bit strange. After all, it’s not English, right? To assist with learning, many languages have some phonetic systems that happen to use English alphabets so foreigners can learn the language with relative ease, but of course there are also certain pronunciation rules that don’t apply in English. So you can always pronounce “Hyundai” your own way, but know that it’s actually a Korean word meaning “modernity”, so in Korean it sounds more like “h-YON-day” [with the /h/ (as in “he”) blending subtly with the /y/ to make it sound like one single consonant], not “HAI-YON-die”.
This American agrees with you, Rory. I’m always amused by these discussions. After all, we don’t say Pa-REE for Paris. I don’t see an obligation to pronounce a word as it’s pronounced in its original language. That’s why I will never buy a Por-sha.
No thanks, awful car full of carcinogenic plastic. Just my opinion. Going to add, why should I buy an overpriced ev when the government offer no incentive and have just green lighted a coal mine in Cumbria, a gas mine in Mozambique , devastated hectares of countryside building HS2 and Sunak uses a private jet?
Excellent & balanced review Rory. Over here in San Diego I'm seriously tempted by the "retro weird" design. Btw NEVER back down on the pronunciation point! (I still haven't forgiven the yanks for turning Marathon bars into Snickers in 1990 lol).
A proper pronunciation goes a long way Rory. That is why. It can and it does make a difference. There is no British or US way, there is only a wrong way. If there is a company, or soccer player, or cricket player you do highly respect then you should learn their name and put a small effort into learning to try to pronounce their name properly. Should you not? In an era I've grown up football presenters were keen having foreign footballer's name said as they would say it in their native language. It was important for them so the people watching the game can also learn. I think it is not right to think because we have pronounced something in the wrong way we must stick to it because you know this is the way it is, get on with it. I think this is the wrong approach Rory. Do you want your name pronounced rurea? I guess not. If you do respect a person, a brand, a country (and the list goes on) you should learn how it is pronounced. As an influencer you should see the opportunity to bring others to make aware of how to pronounce Hyundai properly, but you just dropped the mic with a smug face and walked off stage. It is ignorance and not funny at all. Their adverts in the UK has been produced in the UK in the last 37 years and to my understanding the advertising company have made the mistake and not the company itself. (Miscommunication?) Can you imagine your name being constantly mispronounced for 30+ years? Would you take some effort to correct this when you have finally a few products to challenge every single EV car makers? Hell yes, I would. Wouldn't you?
Brits don't help their global image by going full-on Little Britain when it comes to foreign languages. Jo-ze Mourinho (d͡ʒoze), Mitch-elin tyres, thats just dumb. Guess what, most ppl on this planet are not British and yet, they can more-less speak English. So why not make a little effort the other way?
Great review and very nice car! We have a 2023 Kona EV and are expecting delivery of our Kia EV6 this summer. I Like this Ioniq6 Hyundai have done a great job on their EV's....love our Kona and hope the EV6 lives up to what we have heard. Not sure when the Ioniq6 will go on sale in Canada but I think it will be a great seller! Have a great day. Mike 🇨🇦
I would like to see a bit more headroom in the back. You are 5’11’’ and your head was almost touching the roof. More space would probably require a longer wheelbase, different profile with a higher drop from the roof to the trunk or moving the back seats slightly forward. I think i am ok with all these options at the expense of increasing the price or loosing knee room which seemed to have extra room.
Great review. Hyundai once had an ad campaign in the US telling us to pronounce it "Hunday", as you mentioned. I don't understand why they've encouraged people to say it differently in various locations, or why they would ask Britons to change now. Anyway, I love my Ioniq 1 EV, and the 6 could be a replacement some day.
I think it looks good! Hyundai is taking brave and solid steps in the design front, kudos to that. Its very refreshing to look at in my honest opinion.
i like this neo retro style. it reminds me a lot of the late 90' and early 00' Hyundai production like the Hyundai Coupé 2.0i FX CVVT (2004) for example. The front is almost identical. Very funny. It's a mix of early 2000 with some futuristic design language. Why not. The result is not bad at all. The rear looks very much like a modern Porsche 911 but it's different enough to stay away from plagiarism. Only thing, maybe those front lights are a little bit too big.
I have seen one on the street just in front of me. It really looks like an old Porsche, and I write this with good feelings. It is a different car than all the others around. The one, that I have seen has had the cameras instead of mirrors. It is a head turner for sure.

I really like Hyundai, I've got a 'classic' Ioniq 28. I really wanted to like the Ioniq 6 but being pleased to get 3mi/kWh is aiming low. It's not that hard to get 5mi/kWh in my car in this weather. Starting at £45,000? That's a shame since they are clearly aiming at the Model 3 market and that starts at £43k and is more efficient.
I look forward to seeing the Ioniq 6 coming with smaller wheels and a smaller battery pack. Pitched at sub £40k and managing more than 4mi/kWh and it would be fantastic.
I think people want luxury but regardless we will see EVs like this slowly trickle down to sub 30k usd range which will be great.
I have an older Ioniq electric that reaches lease end around christmas. Kia, Ioniq 5, and this one are the main contenders to replace it -- and this one looks better all the time. thanks for your review!
Once again, Rory provides us with an Insightful, fun, and balanced review. Oh, the Ioniq 6 is nice. I'm shortlisting it.
My problem is I’m so prejudiced against Elon musk that I can’t determine if whether I love these cars or hate anything Tesla.
Can’t wait to see it in person. Nice review of a lovely car! Thanks Rory!
I have used this car now for around 5 months. I absolutely adore it. So quiet, smooth and relaxed. If you are thinking of owning one i would suggest having it detailed and a ceramic protective coat put on the paintwork.
Side profile looks like a CLS/TT and the headlight look like the ones from the gr86
Thanks for this review. It was very informative and articulately presented.
8:20 hahahaha this is the best. i'm American, but i'm gonna start saying Hai-unn-dye in solidarity with my British brothers ✊
In Norway we say Hunn-dai. Easy ;)
I love the look of this car. It grows on me
Very beautiful car. It reminds me a bit of the old Citroen DS, which both were a horrible car and a design icon in one and the same time. This Hyundai would not be a horrible car, but maybe controversial. I have one gripe with it though: I wish they had made it a hatchback or fastback instead! It is not very practical at all, with a small boot and a narrow opening.
Awaiting the Ioniq 6 to come to the US. Been awaiting an EV that isn't a Tesla or an SUV. The sedan version of the Ioniq 5 sounds perfect. Let's hope it's not overpriced and there are enough to go around. I have owned four Honda Accords in a row.
Back around the early noughties, Hyundai UK were a customer of mine and I remember them running a campaign, with various supporting customer materials, trying to encourage people to say He-yoon-day instead of Hi-yun-die. Nobody took any notice and they quietly dropped the crusade, so hopefully they’ll reach the same conclusion with this latest effort! 😊
0:11 side curves are form old CLA . In fact this car is the copy of different different parts of other cars .
Awesome review of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, my favorite car style is sedan, so I prefer the Ioniq 6 to the Crossover Ioniq 5. I like the I 6 design, and I like the dashboard design and buttons for climate control. I like the heated back seats and I like the USB C connection. Some people say the back design looks like a Porsche 911 and the Mercedes EV EQS prototype with the longest range. The Ioniq 6 is good competition for Tesla Model 3,
Lovely! Presentation, car, video time spent, just lovely.
Thank you, Rory.
Love the design
lol @ the rant about the name. Thanks for saying what so many were thinking
I can't wait for a Ioniq 6 N version👍
This 100%
You'll have to.
Lol it’s a Korean company so the British or American pronunciation is technically incorrect. Glad they’re finally letting people know that there is a correct prononciation in Korean. Very informative video!
I can't walk past the 400L boot. For a car this size, that's a joke. A fatal flaw. For example it's the same size as Cupra Born.
I personally love it and be keen for one after a test drive. But I've got a feeling most consumers would still rather the Ioniq 5 for that SUV styling.
*I hate to say it but Matt Watson from carwow did a better review*
I love this car, can't wait for N model to arrive in Canada
I can see this being used as Ubers, would definitely love to be picked up in this
I just came back from Korea, they’re being used as taxis in Seoul, very cool…
Ubers and Lyft are for Prius lol
The more I look at this car the more I like it. It grows on you. It's unique and it looks different at different angles. There's absolutely nothing like it on the road and the gravity gold matte colour looks gorgeous.
If they can manage to clean up the tail end for the next gen this will be a big hit
Or as a hatch?
As usual, an insightful and useful review. Fair, to the point, and, again, useful! Thanks.
Looks absolutely fabulous
I love it for the fact it’s different without being a crossover.
I've got an Ioniq 5, brilliant car. I'm sure this will be a brilliant car, and more efficient than mine. Really not sold on the looks though
The Ioniq 5 is beautiful, keep it forever please
I would love to trade in my current Ioniq for this. I feel like I’ve been waiting so long for this car, but alas I don’t currently have the monthly budget 😢
I always pronounced your first name as ‘Raa-re”, but now I’ve been ‘advised’ that is wrong. But screw it, just going to continue to say it my way regardless even though I’ve been told the correct way to pronounce it….
Great video as ever from Rory, love that he broke from the standard fit review format to have a rant about the pronunciation chance. Go on my son
When it comes to pronunciation of foreign brand names, I think it’s a story similar to borrowed words. I don’t think you’d pronounce the word “genre” as “JEN-ner” or “GEN-ree” or whatever sounds better in English, because this wasn’t English in the first place. Brands like Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton etc all have a “correct” pronunciation in their own language. Of course you can always say it the English way, but it just sounds weird and funny. I think we should all respect the “correct” pronunciation of foreign brand names, despite being difficult to say or sounding a bit strange. After all, it’s not English, right? To assist with learning, many languages have some phonetic systems that happen to use English alphabets so foreigners can learn the language with relative ease, but of course there are also certain pronunciation rules that don’t apply in English. So you can always pronounce “Hyundai” your own way, but know that it’s actually a Korean word meaning “modernity”, so in Korean it sounds more like “h-YON-day” [with the /h/ (as in “he”) blending subtly with the /y/ to make it sound like one single consonant], not “HAI-YON-die”.
I’ll pronounce it however they want if they tell Americans they have to pronounce it that way too.
This American agrees with you, Rory. I’m always amused by these discussions. After all, we don’t say Pa-REE for Paris. I don’t see an obligation to pronounce a word as it’s pronounced in its original language. That’s why I will never buy a Por-sha.
Exactly the same tech : features in my Ioniq 5 . Think I’ll keep my 5
Looks like the original Mercedes CLS
Great review, I really like your understandable demonstration. Ioniq 6 is the one that I might consider for my next car.
It looks like a turtle or a frog
Rear Citroen/Porsche, front is fine, the side view (especially 3/4) is interesting. I think it’s cool.
No thanks, awful car full of carcinogenic plastic. Just my opinion. Going to add, why should I buy an overpriced ev when the government offer no incentive and have just green lighted a coal mine in Cumbria, a gas mine in Mozambique , devastated hectares of countryside building HS2 and Sunak uses a private jet?
Excellent & balanced review Rory. Over here in San Diego I'm seriously tempted by the "retro weird" design. Btw NEVER back down on the pronunciation point! (I still haven't forgiven the yanks for turning Marathon bars into Snickers in 1990 lol).
A proper pronunciation goes a long way Rory. That is why. It can and it does make a difference. There is no British or US way, there is only a wrong way. If there is a company, or soccer player, or cricket player you do highly respect then you should learn their name and put a small effort into learning to try to pronounce their name properly. Should you not? In an era I've grown up football presenters were keen having foreign footballer's name said as they would say it in their native language. It was important for them so the people watching the game can also learn. I think it is not right to think because we have pronounced something in the wrong way we must stick to it because you know this is the way it is, get on with it. I think this is the wrong approach Rory. Do you want your name pronounced rurea? I guess not. If you do respect a person, a brand, a country (and the list goes on) you should learn how it is pronounced. As an influencer you should see the opportunity to bring others to make aware of how to pronounce Hyundai properly, but you just dropped the mic with a smug face and walked off stage. It is ignorance and not funny at all. Their adverts in the UK has been produced in the UK in the last 37 years and to my understanding the advertising company have made the mistake and not the company itself. (Miscommunication?) Can you imagine your name being constantly mispronounced for 30+ years? Would you take some effort to correct this when you have finally a few products to challenge every single EV car makers? Hell yes, I would. Wouldn't you?
Use paragraphs
@@Undisputed_King ?
Brits don't help their global image by going full-on Little Britain when it comes to foreign languages. Jo-ze Mourinho (d͡ʒoze), Mitch-elin tyres, thats just dumb. Guess what, most ppl on this planet are not British and yet, they can more-less speak English. So why not make a little effort the other way?
Excellent presentation as always! The Sonata opened the door for it, but much advance on E-steroids!!!
This is a nasty, ugly, busy looking design. Once people get over the shock factor, they will realized it is disgusting, especially in the back.
One of the best reviewer car.. great great video Iam not fluent in English but still enjoy it...God bless you Rory and teams
First
You are doing an amazing job! Keep it up
I absolutely LOVED the way they removed the middle console in the IONIQ 5. Sadly they brought it back in the 6, what a bummer...
Looks like a SAAB 900 in the future. I love it.
Another great review from Rory. Car is cool....I want one 👍🏾
Rory.....To my mind....the very best car reviewer out there at present.
Great review and very nice car!
We have a 2023 Kona EV and are expecting delivery of our Kia EV6 this summer.
I Like this Ioniq6 Hyundai have done a great job on their EV's....love our Kona and hope the EV6 lives up to what we have heard.
Not sure when the Ioniq6 will go on sale in Canada but I think it will be a great seller!
Have a great day.
Mike 🇨🇦
I would like to see a bit more headroom in the back. You are 5’11’’ and your head was almost touching the roof. More space would probably require a longer wheelbase, different profile with a higher drop from the roof to the trunk or moving the back seats slightly forward. I think i am ok with all these options at the expense of increasing the price or loosing knee room which seemed to have extra room.
Why oh why is it not a proper fastback with a bigger boot opening! 🙄😕
Great review. Hyundai once had an ad campaign in the US telling us to pronounce it "Hunday", as you mentioned.
I don't understand why they've encouraged people to say it differently in various locations, or why they would ask Britons to change now.
Anyway, I love my Ioniq 1 EV, and the 6 could be a replacement some day.
They should just make it the Korean pronunciation, which is neither Hunday nor, Hyunday... It's Hyon-dé.
Another great episode. When I look at it, personally it reminds me of a 80’s Merkur xr4ti 🤔, from some angles.
To me it looks likeTatraPlan.
I think it looks good! Hyundai is taking brave and solid steps in the design front, kudos to that. Its very refreshing to look at in my honest opinion.
Love from Jamaica
This car comes straight out of Cyberpunk!
Thanks for your👆 love and support ♥️♥️💖
👆Text me on nicegram I have something special for you.......
Both futuristic and retro styling. Reminds me of Thunderbirds. I'm liking it.
i like this neo retro style. it reminds me a lot of the late 90' and early 00' Hyundai production like the Hyundai Coupé 2.0i FX CVVT (2004) for example. The front is almost identical. Very funny. It's a mix of early 2000 with some futuristic design language. Why not. The result is not bad at all. The rear looks very much like a modern Porsche 911 but it's different enough to stay away from plagiarism. Only thing, maybe those front lights are a little bit too big.
That pronunciation rant killed me! Keep up the great vids!
I have seen one on the street just in front of me. It really looks like an old Porsche, and I write this with good feelings.
It is a different car than all the others around. The one, that I have seen has had the cameras instead of mirrors.
It is a head turner for sure.
