- Review of the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 with the ultimate package. It has a gorgeous design, smooth handling and a lot more. But how does it compare to the Tesla Model 3 and is it worth the watt? Make sure to subscribe for more videos like this.

I’ve just replaced my model 3 (SR+) with an Ioniq 6 and I’m delighted with the difference the build quality is night and day better and the smoothness of the ride is amazing. The key fob is a little cheap but just keep it in your pocket!
NIce! I've been thinking of swapping out my model 3 dual motor just to have a smoother ride. That's the one thing I hate about my model 3 its just not smooth at all.
Does it have apple car play or maybe Hyundai's own connectivity?
This is the car I am going to get when I go fully electric. Nice review Matt. Loving the channel so far
Congratulations on launching your new car channel! 🚗🎉 I really enjoyed this review, and I can't wait to see more content from your channel. Keep up the great work!.
Thank you! More to come
I'm picking up my new Ioniq 6 Limited next week. Thanks for making me feel good about it!
Haha no problem! Let me know how you like it when you get it in
What do you guys think of the IONIQ 6? Also, make sure to subscribe and like the video. Lots more car reviews to come.
Good to see you here
Love it!
Hey matt! Been a subscriber on your tech channel ever since. I was looking for Ionic 6 here in Philippines and saw your new channel. Congrats and nice review as always!
That's awesome! I appreciate the support and welcome to the new channel = ) Did you end up getting an Ioniq 6?
I've had the Ioniq 6 for a month. Really enjoying the car. The two changes I would love to see are (1) a better feeling key fob and (2) extra cup holders on the doors. You basically have two in the front and two in the back, but if you have three people in the back there are no functioning cup holders. Again, overall I'm thrilled with the car.
Ya more cup holders would be nice for sure! Have you had any battery charging issues? Apparently there's a lawsuit going on
@@Worththewatt I haven’t had any battery issues at all. Got it all the way up to 100% twice, but generally just going to 80%. I’ve used level 1 and 2 charging so far.
I get the key fob - there's also something about the buttons in both this and the Ionic 5 - they look a bit 80's radio-ish cheap buttons compared to premium buttons. But the do feel pretty good when using.
Cup holders I don't care about - I pay almost the price of a house for my car so ain't nobody gonna throw coffe and slushice around in my car - no siree
@@Kurkess Cup holders, blah. It's not Starbucks.
@@jakebreathes2387I think it might be the car is supposed to AC charge at 11kw can only muster about 7-8kw...
This car is absolute dream to drive and has exceptional looks! This car far exceeds my Bolt lease return. 👍👍
Couldn't agree more!
Looking forward to more EV reviews! Was wondering if you're going to review the Ioniq 6 when I saw it in your phone reviews. Maybe review Mustang Mach E next?
We will be reviewing the Mach-e and the Ioniq 5 soon too, thank you for your support.
I really wish this was available in the Philippines 😭
Love the tech channel and im looking forward to this car channel too! Congrats!!
Thanks Dennis!!
Great video, subbed. :)
I love the Ioniq 6, I got the 5 for my first EV simply because I needed the bigger trunk/boot for my sons wheelchair (no regrets though as I love the 80s styling of the car) but can't go wrong with either, I wouldn't ever consider a Tesla over either of these.
Being able to change the regen on the fly with the paddles is just fantastic, I wondered if it would be a gimmick, but I do it constantly. also having a HUD is a game changer for me. (as is having an indicator stalk, bad form Tesla)
Thanks !! I appreciate it. Welcome to the channel : ) I know the Ioniq 6 made me regret buying my model 3 lol. I’d lean towards the Ioniq 5 as well for the trunk. How many years have you been driving yours?
One thing I really like on this car is the fact the door handle are mechanical, no need for the 12v batterie to enter or exit, the trunk and frunk are not spacious at all and the lack of button on the front doors are annoying.
such a nice car. Butter. For me it checks a lot of boxes. I can't justify buying a third car, or I would that one. Fun, sporty, and nimble. Great review. Just found the channel & subscribed. Sweet content.
Thanks for subscribing! I really appreciate it and welcome to the channel. I hear you after driving it I wanted to buy a third car too lol. What two cars are you driving now?
@@WorththewattCadillac LYRIQ & Volvo XC40 Recharge. Wife don't let me drive her LYRIQ much. Just to and from the car wash mostly.
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!
Really enjoying mine. Getting 4.3 mi/kwh. I prefer having buttons and two screens to Tesla's situation. Totally quiet. Totally smooth. SEL AWD.
It's a great car!
Don't understand why the rear drive US version doesn't get a bigger frunk like in other markets.
I have the 6. Is anyone having issues with the backup camera at night when stepping on the brake in reverse. My camera view turns to a brown shade. The brake lights are interfering with the camera’s optic’s. If so Report it to your dealer.
Would you review the BMW i4 M50? Im interested in hearing what you think.
Yup! Working on trying to get one in
Just reviewed the i4 xdrive40, the video will be out Friday
@@akertes who likes it more? 🤔
Where are you located? I've never seen that arm rest warmer in the rear.
Canada
Should have taken that lease deal on an SE RWD LR for $300/mo last month
❤❤❤
the best part about the Ionic is that the regenerative braking is not forced on you. drive it in normal mode and its a fast car that drives like ice
Ioniq *. Not Ionic.
Its not really forced on you with any EV. They all have the option to turn it off completely. - Matt
I’m trying to make the decision between the ioniq 5 and ioniq 6 and possibly a couple other EVs. The 6 looks a bit sportier but the 5 has a bit more room and cargo space.
I personally like the 5 better. But they are both pretty similar. We will have a review on the 5 soon
EV’s are not my thing (yet) but this one is quite pretty.
I love this car. The only annoying thing is that you have to jump through hoops to get the tax credits. It also may not have as much room as you need in the trunk, but it definitely fits our needs.
Jump through hoops? There's a single page form you fill out when filing Federal taxes to get the $7500 credit. I've taken advantage of that credit twice in previous EV purchases.
So the IONIQ 6 does qualify for the $7,500 tax credit?
@@homrun02 since it is built in Korea and the battery is made in Korea I don't believe so. Ask your tax professional.
This car and the Ioniq 5 don’t qualify for the tax credit
Drove this EV for 1,000 miles. It was better than I thought. I think Ioniq 5,6 are better than Tesla: Better made and more comfortable. Whenever reviewers compare IONIQS with Tesla, they tend to talk about the size of the frunk. Who really uses Trunk or Frunk. It is the power and longevity that is going to make or break the brand. R and D will also propel the brand forward.
One thing I don't understand is "why have wireless charging when you have to plug the phone in anyway to use CarPlay or Android Auto?" I "think" I saw a Korean video the other day that showed CarPlay being used "without" being plugged in (i.e. wireless). That version also had a heads up display (which they have in Canada, as well). I understand that the "video" side mirrors are not approved in the US, but heads-up and wireless CarPlay have no such rules.
I agree with you it makes no sense but from my understanding and experience the reason why most companies are still only offering WIRED carplay/android auto is because when its wireless it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't whereas wired its much more consistent.
@@Worththewatt not my experience with a Mach-e. Iffy in2021 but has worked perfectly for most of its life after that.
Nice! I’m glad it’s working out for you. How are you liking the Mach-e ? We are getting one in to review soon and have only heard good things about it
@@Worththewatt I have no complaints about my Mach-E. It has been fun, dependable, and economical. 95%+ of charging happens at home while I'm asleep. I have solar panels that produce about 4 times as much as my car uses (averaging 1,150 miles/mo over 8 years of EV driving). So once the fixed cost of the panels is absorbed, the car really runs for nothing !! Passing gas stations is great...I've completely lost track of gas prices (except when I do my monthly spreadsheet).
I’m 6ft and couldn’t sit comfortably in the back. Otherwise I would have bought it on the spot. My 14 year old is 5’10 and growing fast so it wouldn’t work for us in the future. Too bad. Beautiful car.
Ya the back seat is a tough one for taller people. It's too bad because the leg space is awesome but the height sucks. What did you end up going with ?
@@Worththewatt still on the hunt. Might go with the Model 3.
Put the key fob in your pocket and forget about it. The wireless phone connection supports data, it just won't do wireless Apple car play or Abdroid auto.
Ya you can totally just keep it in your pocket but just a weird decision since that's usually the first thing you get at the dealership before going to your car.
@@Worththewatt everybody talks about the weird look of the key, but it works very well, so l put it in my pocket and forget it
Not if you remote park your car.
Special thanks to the presenter for revealing his personal spex (height, etc), as this helps immeasurably in estimating how comfortable anyone considering this car would expect to be.
You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and your time
Spec*. Not spex.
Never seen it in white before, looks really good.
Ya I prefer the ioniq 6 in white then black too
@@Worththewatt Driving it in dark colour, but I prefered red.
Driving at night will show you the biggest difference between this and any Tesla.
Tesla is DARK with no lighting. Ionic 6 is beautiful with great lighting inside the cabin.
Dark is good less distractions. You don't want your interior lighting to be bright or it hinders your ability to see outside.
Frankly, I prefer the BYD Seal...It has a more luxurious feel and a more balanced exterior style. Less a spaceship, more a classic car design.
Looks like a SAAB from the side...
Lol you know what I kind of see that
A water drop or an aeroplane wing. You'd call it aerodynamics.
The pricing of Hyundai’s EV’s aren’t compelling for what you get against Tesla’s offerings.
Buddy not everything is about price, for some of us it is about style and build quality!
@@rogermartinez78This is the first time I hear build quality and Hyundai in the same sentence.
@@rogermartinez78"Buddy" style and Ioniq 6 should not be in the same sentence 😂 That car is hideous and it's more expensive than a Model 3. I'll hand it to Hyundai about build quality though. But who cares when the car is that ugly?
@@user-hr6pz5hf9q I am not hung up on price, get what you like, plus the Tesla minimalist interior is not for everyone and I am one of them.
@@rogermartinez78 I already did I drive a Model 3LR. People complain about build quality like parts are falling off the car as you drive it. Not at all. It does make a rattle here or there but that stuff is easy to fix. It's a sweet car with an amazing sound system, comfortable seats, plenty of room, an amazing software experience. Enjoy your Ioniq 6 👍
i personly think 1 pedal drive is dangerous; in an emergency you will not use the brake pedal in automatic motoric response if you do not use it by defauld. also,. this car also regenerates on the brake pedal. ( thank you for adressing different points of view)
Thanks for watching! Have you tried 1 pedal driving? It's definitely not dangerous. I've been living with it for two years and instinctively you know when you need to hit the brakes.
@@Worththewatt Yes, I tried 1PD. In my car I set it to the lowest setting for comfort and safety reasons. Good to hear you're a safe driver. keep it up ! maybe i am wrong,..i respect your opinion and choice, I'm not saying it should be ilegal. i like cars with the ability to use it on different settings and informtive car reviews that dont just say 1pd is possible or not.
Its nice... until you learn that the replacement battery cost is $ 60,000.
The Model 3 looks like a jellybean. This at least looks like a nice design. The interior of the Model 3 makes me feel depressed.
Jelly beans taste good though
OMG if you think that's not comfortable NEVER sit in a Bolt 🙂
Haha
Nonsense. I have a BoltEV and it is comfortable.
No wireless CarPlay or Android auto in 2023. Deal breaker for me.
Teslas sell pretty good without ANY support of CarPlay or Auto.
@@svengaefgen5909Tesla’s don’t use Korean software…
It's a car, not a play station.
Get a Carlinkit. Problem solved.
Smooth? Yes. Quiet? Yup.
Beautiful? NO! 🤮
The Ioniq 5 looks way better than this ugly “porsche” design.
lol I feel like the Ioniq 6 and even 5 are designs you either love or hate. I agree with you I personally like the look of the 5 better
I've had so many compliments on the Ioniq 6 Limited AWD from all different kinds of people. Frankly I didn't expect so much attention in a Hyundai, they love the look.
Thank you! I agree 100% This car is ugly in the extreme.
Tesla cars are trash all you get is a car and an ipad.
Lol 😂 That Hyundai is like a tragedy on wheels I've never seen a car so hideous 😂 And 700 pixels doesn't help 😂
