Hey, great review and well balanced. I actually don't like Marmite but I do like the Ioniq 6 and have owned one for over a year now. Yes, the styling is different and some of the angles are better than others; the side view is swooping for example while the rear is meh. But I have followed a few I6's around, including my own, and they look pretty nice from the back. The HDA (highway assist) is good with excellent lane centering and it follows the road well. It is a smooth cruising machine and eats up the miles. It also gets pretty good efficiency, giving most of the models at least a 300 mile range. In spring-fall I can do 300 miles on the highway and almost 350 if I am doing a lot of town driving.
0:36 I see what you mean but this is kinda wrong - the car was designed with aerodynamics in mind but wind tunnel testing was only used at the very end to get that coefficient of drag number even lower. The shape it has was already proven to be aerodynamic and they designed like a smooth pebble in a river.
I don’t need to know if you like how it looks I can make my own mind up. I want to know how it runs how its interior works. Etc review the car not my thoughts
when Hyundai originally showed the Prophecy concept i loved it and was ready to hand over my cash. but when they released the production version i closed up my wallet. They really have a poorly done design language right now at Hyundai which is a shame because Kia keeps hitting it out of the park. If they do a mid model refresh and remove some of the tasteless bits and make it more like the concept id be interested again.
Funny how there's no accounting for taste - I love the 6 & most of Hyundai's designs , yet I don't like Kia"s . Took delivery of mine a month ago & have to say it's THE best car I've ever driven ( & there have been a lot ) Stealing designers & engineers from Audi & BMW seems to have worked, as they are streets ahead of their Asian rivals just now .
CarPlay 2 should have been implemented here. It’s got the perfect screen for it.

Make your own review and post it. I'm actually interested in his thoughts of it's styling
