Had my 6 for a few weeks now in Australia. Still watching all these videos around the world because I love the accents/perspectives and differences in the various markets with logo, trim levels/naming etc.
@@NevoEVReviewIreland thank you for asking! I don't think you mentioned the heads up display (HUD) much - it is actually one of my favourite features, especially when navigating unfamiliar roads etc. Note it doesn't work with CarPlay/Android Auto so I rely on the built-in navigation, which is fine enough. You can adjust the brightness and positioning of the HUD. Also not sure if your seat has it, but powered seats for vertical adjustment too for those wanting a better view of the road/car.
I’ve had mine since last week - still figuring out settings but love how it drives- totally different to my Enyaq. Also a lot more efficient - getting near their claimed 420 km range, even at this time of year. It’s showing up averaging around 14 kw/100 km. Admittedly there’s hardly any motorway driving in that I have the Signature trim and though it’s well equipped for a base version it does have a few things missing that should really be on it - no electro chrome rear view mirror , nor Ambient lighting of any sort. Interior is very dark at night , not even footwell lights. It does have heat pump and a heated seats and steering wheel though which Skoda charge lots for. And you get a granny cable thrown in too. I have a black one and love the silver cladding. Most comments are very positive Just like you Derek I’ve been caught out by having forgetting the stop button when I get out. Lots of great tech though.
Congrats Micheal. Great to hear from an owner! It's so efficient. I never mentioned that heat pump comes as standard across the range which is a nice addition that others charge for like you say.
Thanks for this informative video. I'm an I5 AWD owner in Iceland which is a great vehicle for that country - I6 looks a bit low for rough roads and snow, I feel. Certainly sleek and eye-catching, but then again, the I5 was/is eye-catching in its own individual way. Don't think I'll be changing - at least not yet. I will get the chance to try one in June when they finally come to this country.
Hi what I really wanted to know was the driving comfort / suspension. I drive Ioniq 5 and I don’t like the suspension. Feel all the bumps on Dublin roads. When you said the 6 is even more firm, I was surprised. I was seriously thinking of swapping to the 6 before I knew that
I'm impressed. Excellent review. Length of review suggests you wanted to get everything across because it is such a good car. Colour makes a difference to looks surprisingly. Like the red. But looks are subjective so if others don't like it I understand. Will have to see it in the flesh to make final decision but it is ahead of ionic 5 imo. Pity not a hatchback. Do the rear seat fold down? This car could impact other brands seriously. Thanks. Des (ireland)
Thanks Des, wanted to get everything across and still missed the following Head-Up Display Heat Pump as standard across the range Rear folding seats in 60/40 split with pull levers at the boot hinges to lower from the boot opening.
When Hyundai entered the US market, their advertising campaign included educating on the proper pronunciation of Hyundai as "Hun-day" similar to Sunday.
There is a video on UA-cam in which a Korean lady explains the correct pronunciation of Hyundai. It is easy. It is pronounced like we say Sunday (Hunday) it the USA.
Definitely wouldn’t be apologising for the pronunciation regardless of what the ‘brand’ want themselves now to be called. Phone thing is hilarious. Skoda have that nailed years ago and the fact others don’t provide it is a bit of a joke in 2023. Beautiful car. Be very interesting given the prices they are looking for.
I have an Ioniq 6 and i like the button placement but take a moment to pity a family that has a 5 and 6 where the drivers regularly change which vehicle they drive.
I'm 50/50 on it, I think it works well in some colours but lighter grey, silver, white it doesn't look good at all. The black one has grey cladding which I think is a miss as the Prophecy concept 😥 was all black. I think the concept vs production designs were a bit too far apart on this which annoyed quite a few people. Overall I do like that it's not another crossover or SUV, so they get big points for that.
Jaysus.........€70k for a Hyundai. Please leave the grant out of the pricing information. Business users don't get a grant. These EV's are on average working out between €20k to €30k dearer than what we would have payed for a nice, well specc'd, medium sized car with a 2.0ltr Daysel ( Superb, Passat, Mondeo) Very informative video ......as usual.
imo the Ioniq 6 has all the good ingredients for the kind of car I'd love. Put it on more of a diet, fix the boot and style it like a Citroën DS, GS, BX or XM.
Hey Derek. Looks are obviously objective, and i really like the styling of the ioniq 5 but this ioniq 6’s design is a horrendous mess in my eyes. All in the name of efficiency though I guess.
@@MrGMawson2438 Not really Tesla Model 3 LR is now €51k some €17k cheaper than this car, you would have a long range dual motor Tesla for the starting price of this car

I'm just going to annoy Hyundai then...HY-Un-dai! ;) This sucks somehow I got unsubscribed from your channel, wondered why I hadn't seen anything from you for some time in my recommended. Found your channel and weirdly didn't say subscribed anymore. Very odd.
@@NevoEVReviewIreland Are you sure those are USB-A ports in the rear? They look like USB-C ports to me. I thought this may beat it's grandparent the classic Ioniq the world's most efficient EV, as tested and proven by Bjorn multiple times, and I own one and definitely can say it has better efficiency to the I6. The interior is nice being a lighter colour. Think you know where I'm at in Tasmania Australia. :) (sorry watched this in parts)

@@HuyTranimal You are correct, I didn't mention he Head-up Display at all and I should have! It is very good and very clear.
It's a cool looking car. I'm looking forward to seeing one in the metal.
nice,,, hows the ride,,, on the firm side ?
Thanks for this. Has been very helpful to get me more familiar with my Ioniq6. Love it!! Thunder Bay Ontario Canada.
Hello to Canada! Thanks for the comment
Excellent video again. Watching from Bulgaria
Thanks for the comment and I was on holidays in Sunny Beach last September. Beautiful country
Great review mate
Thank you kindly
Cracking content this week D 👍
Saw a black one today in stepaside, looked gorgeous
More content to come, a busy few weeks!
Superb in-depth video 👏 👏
30 mins is an investment 🤣 flask of tea required
Another great review, thank you Derek!
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment Max

Thanks Neal. I know that all dealers have test drive models in stock so best to go for a spin and see. Please let me know when you do.
@@NevoEVReviewIreland it will be good to compare with the new VW ID7
I'm impressed. Excellent review.

Head-Up Display
Heat Pump as standard across the range
Rear folding seats in 60/40 split with pull levers at the boot hinges to lower from the boot opening.
Great detailed review. On pronunciation- vw is easier to say!
😂😂😂 Thanks PG
Can't wait to see this go head to head with the id7.
The market is heating up. The market for executive sedan motorway eating EVs - 7 years after Tesla Model 3
Now there will be a match but I think the VW will be more expensive
@@toyotaprius79 yeah but tesla are the apple of evs and nobody smart likes apple

I wonder will we get the same lessons in Ireland

Thanks for the comment.
It's an unusual looking car inside. Very reminiscent of the early 90s along with the driving position.
Thanks for the comment Pato. I found it very comfortable for that drive to Tullamore
Looks like an old Citroen DS made love aggressively to a Mercedes CLS. I like it
Thanks for comment. "Aggressively" 🤣🤣

glove box only slides Downward alike most States cubbies, inside lighting too.
Thanks for the comment Dave

Bugatti vibe from the styling. if I were a younger man this would be my choice. Not anymore but at least it makes me smile wistfully.
Getting a lot of attention for sure

Agreed. I wasn't a fan at first, but it's growing on me.
It's a grower for sure and we'll be well used to it on the road by this time next year.

Oh, I ike that idea. I wonder can we get a designer to mock it up
@@NevoEVReviewIreland or maybe skip Ioniq 2, 3 and 4 and get straight to making the electric i10/ Picanto
I like it
Me too
In the US we say "Hunday" to rhyme with "Sunday".
Trying to change how I say it
I like my eC4 but I think I definitely prefer Ionic 6. Weren't available when I was ordering though.
Co Down.
Thanks David. the eC4 is a fine car. Maybe the IONIQ 6 for the next one.
Hi Derek. Very comprehensive review. Superb car. Defo a contender for me.
Thanks for the comment Fergus and glad you enjoyed it
seems kool :))
Agree
They're not that concerned with aerodynamics, because if they were they'd build a smaller car. Just saying 😁
Very stylish tho.
Ah, people still want rear passenger space but yes, a smaller lighter car will go further for sure
Hey Derek. Looks are obviously objective, and i really like the styling of the ioniq 5 but this ioniq 6’s design is a horrendous mess in my eyes. All in the name of efficiency though I guess.
Tesla Model 3 Long range 72kw 465kms range is now €51,000 had to justify paying up to €68,000 for an ioniq 6 awd
Definitely a tough decision
I dont think the top spec will sell well, €9k-ish extra for the digital door mirrors 20" and a sunroof
Some people really want AWD and a sunroof....
A streamlined aerodynamic design is aesthetically pleasing. This is a real contender.
I really like it too
Tesla needs to watch the space!
sure does
It's getting hot in here!

USB C is correct
Not keen on the rear end styling, a little pretentious. No doubt a steller efficient platform for folks who prefer low saloon format.
Won't be for everyone for sure Noel but it's a grower and SO SO SO efficient,
Hyundai is the name 😂
Correct!
Not sure about the design.
It's a car that is causing some discussion for sure. Have you seen it in person yet?
No yet.
Have to say it’s an ugly car. Hugely disappointed with Hyundai, Kia are way ahead.
Thanks for the comment Mark. The looks are divisive for sure
Looks awful 😖
Ah Trevor, won't be for everyone. Are you Team IONIQ 5 or EV6?
