The Tesla Model 3 may not be the brand’s biggest seller any more, but thanks to its remarkable efficiency and access to the amazing Tesla Supercharger network, it still makes a compelling option for drivers looking to go electric. Despite being a little long in the tooth these days (the design dates back to 2018), the Model 3 remains the default option for many.
But has Hyundai finally built a car that betters the Model 3? It may not have access to the Tesla charging network, but it comes with a promise of exceptional efficiency, amazing design and high kit levels. To find out, we pitched the two head-to-head. Join Ginny and Nicki as they compare the Model 3 and the new IONIQ 6, from interior space to efficiency.

Electric cars have really shifted expectations when a mid-sized sedan(ish) with a 0-60mph of 5 seconds is called "slower".
Agreed, I have the rwd version and even in eco mode I can just zip around cars. Reviewers need to stop acting like the 0-60 time really matters... I'd consider anything under 5sec 0 to 60 to be overkill and honestly dangerous in the hands of most drivers.
@@dakotapahel-short3192 True, for EVs range and efficiency should be key and not 0-60 time.
Isn’t the benefits with EVs and Teslas that you can have both?
@Harrythehun the biggest reasons to build in a slower acceleration curve are that it reduces your tire wear by a lot. Heavy car + instant speed = 10-20k mile tire life easily. & also you get waaaay better efficiency with a slower acceleration ramp.
All of this can be done with software. You could 100% keep your speeds in sport mode and have a much more conservative daily drive but the fact remains that there's no reason to push a daily driver like a sports car. It's not safe & it's wasteful.
@@dakotapahel-short3192 I understand, but for a me there is additional value with a high tech, great software, fast, safe and reliable electric car. There is slow low tech cars for those that want a transportation solution.
We got our first EV in May this year (2023) and it was the Ioniq 6. On the wrong side of 50, I have long since come to the conclusion that keeping your eyes on the road is the most important safety “feature” when driving, and thus anything that helps with that makes for a safer drive. Despite what someone else has said in the comments about the presence of buttons being a hang-up of reviewers and not a real concern, for me, having easier access to functions that need to be used whilst driving (buttons that can be found quickly, easily, and ideally without looking) and having core information easier to see (such is in drivers screen or better yet in heads-up display), all make for a safer and more comfortable drive. Hence we didn’t consider Tesla at all. The Ioniq 6 still demands some screen use, however, and the climate screen thing not being real buttons isn’t ideal either. Personally I’ve never found Tesla’s designs interesting, but I did fall in love with the 6’s design, so for me personally, it’s the 6 every time. Despite that, I do recognise what Tesla has done for EV progress as being huge, even if I don’t want to own one. Roll on every EV from every maker, especially those with lower prices to help bring these cars to the masses.
You are correct.
However, after owning a model 3 for a while, once you set off you almost never use the touch screen.
The vocal commands are exceptional, and they have added new features that allow more controls from the steering wheel buttons (AC and fan speed, for example).
Not to mention, with autopilot and auto AC, you don't really need to do anything and that allows you to focus even more on the road and have much better spacial awareness.
I don't want to be mean, but I came to the conclusion that the Ionic would be great for my dad, and the Tesla is great for me.
Why?
My dad doesn't care for apps or technology. He wants something he understands instantly and is used to.
I wanted the most out of a "New type of car", with all the tech and features that I can bear.
I believe it all comes down to personal preference. No matter the car you own, Tesla M3 or Ionic 6, you are so incredibly lucky to be able to enjoy them that we are all winners.
@@unauthac1193 Love it how Elon Fanboys cope with ''the interior is not CHEAP, is minimalist'' 😆😆
@@morganangel340 does your comment have any relevance whatsoever to the two comments above?
1. It is minimalist, that’s a selling feature.
2. No one said it is as good quality as some other brands.
3. Who mentioned Elon?
Please, do not bring your personal anger to a normal conversation.
@@unauthac1193 COPE harder, is just CHEAP !
Having looked at both in all honesty I had to go with the model 3, I don't tend to fiddle about too much unless it's the sat nav and the one in the Hyundai is awful especially for setting waypoints and finding chargers. It's not a bad car and the ride is nicer but the screen functionality is poor and it feels a bit boat like to drive.
I've just changed my Tesla M3 long range for an AWD Ioniq 6 - I mainly do motorway driving and the Ioniq is the more efficient of the two cars, also much more comfortable and refined as a motorway cruiser. The Hyundai app is clunky compared to Tesla's. I'm not a great user of rapid chargers as 95% of my charging is at home but I have had no problem finding rapid chargers on a couple of long distance journeys I've made.
IONIQ 6 has much nicer looking interior and dash and nicer exterior design.
Subjectively, yes.
Great comment. We leased an Ioniq 6 in July. Your comments are exactly how I feel about driving safety, keep your eyes on the road.
Just a note, most of the new Tesla Superchargers will be open also for non Teslas.
Yes but not yet, only some of them and at an extra cost.
It's not just about availability though, is it? It's about the fact that the Tesla on board navigation will work out the most efficient route, know whether there is a charger available before you arrive, pre-heat the battery to shorten your charge stop. It's the whole package which can't be transplanted or matched and *all* other manufacturers are *still* miles behind...
@@chrisr1254 yes I agree. The navigation in the Kia/Hyundai cars is terrible compared to Tesla, but Ioniq 6 should also have preheating if you just manage to find the chargers from the navi. I drive Polestar and it also works out the most efficient route, pre-heats the battery and it also knows the traffic data really well because it's Android auto system. It doesn't know all the chargers, but it's the same with Tesla & non superchargers. And yes, where I live, there's a lot more other chargers than Superchargers so it really does matter here. So where I disagree is that other manufacturers would still be miles behind, that's not true anymore.
@@synthmaker False. The extra cost just comes down to Tesla Superchargers currently having a 1-2 penny difference to Electrify America for instance.
Once vehicles from Ford, Chevy, Volvo, and Polestar start shipping with the NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, as some may currently know as the Tesla port, all Tesla Superchargers will also accept any vehicle with a CCS port utilizing an official NACS adapter.
But with a majority of the new Tesla Superchargers being put in being 250KW as opposed to Electrify Americas 350KW chargers, Hyundai and Kia vehicles that support 350KW 15 minute fast charging should utilize Tesla Superchargers only if there are no open Electrify America or EVGO chargers available. (Especially since Hyundai offers free charging for 2 years on new EVs when charging at Electrify America chargers)
@@rcheysnarfs2747 It's not false. A Tesla at a Supercharger pays less than a non-Tesla at a Supercharger. What you're doing is comparing something else entirely.
I love both of them, but in design - especially interior design - the Ioniq 6 wins. I had the pleasure to sit in one - it had the digital mirrors (not a fan of them) though - and I loved it. I would go for the Ioniq 6 for sure.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
A slight win in range with only 50% the trunk capacity of the 3.
So much for practical design.
When I drove an Ioniq 6, I had the impression it was better built in addition to it being quieter and offering a vastly more comfortable ride.
After 55 years of driving hundreds of different cars I can safely my present Tesla is the best by miles - and no, I never want to see a button again - I seriously think it is a journalists hang-up where they constantly have to change things - once your mirrors, etc are set up you are just left with buttons that do nothing. Oh, and I still want to know why Teslas have the smallest 'bonnets' at the front yet the most storage? Good review btw.
Ginny mentions the 800V charging on the Ionic 6. This technology is courtesy of Rimac of the electric super car fame, who are partners with Porsche, VW Group and Hyundai/Kia/Genisis. They are the real development of the battery/motor tech in all these cars, not that any of the companies would like to share that.
I love performance based cars, but for me the looks, and smooth drive of the Ionic 6 makes it stand out. Tesla really need to put more into design style. Looks are of course always subjective.
The best EV full stop remains the Taycan, which is a stunning car. An early Taycan 4S is close to these two on price. In another year the Taycan will be cheaper. New verses old @electrifying? Now what are you choosing?
Of course if its just range then the M3 and I6 are the current best value options.
But In two years time we might have faster charging and longer range with similar size batteries? The tech is going to change quickly.
Now when it comes to depreciation, which is critical in cost of ownership, I think I would wait for the Taycan price to fit into the £50K price point.
Just checking Hyundai are now offering 0% finance on PCP on I5 and I6! That warranty is good too!
Don't you think this comparison is about a month early with Highland due?
Personally, i really like the look of the Ioniq 6 and black suits it well. What I learned from this review was that older drivers like the Ioniq and younger drivers prefer the Model 3.
However, I question the claim that the Ioniq 6 is more efficient. Richard Symons of RSEV did a side by side comparison between an Ioniq 6 AWD, a BMW i4 40, and a Tesla Model 3 long-range, and on the motorway the Tesla was getting 4.5miles per kWh against 3.6miles per kWh for both the Ioniq and the BMW. In fairness, the Tesla was the standard 18" aero wheels, and the Ioniq was on 20" wheels, so that may have made some of the difference. The BMW was on 19s. Of course, the Tesla is also the lightest of the 3 cars.
Yeah, I noticed that too.
However, if you are going for efficiency over anything else, then you spec your car towards that goal in detriment of style or looks.
So, Tesla offering 18-inch wheels is the obvious choice and being lighter is not a plus, it is intentional design.

Does it stop? It put me off watching it 😢
Echo…. 😏
@@pearl.gadgetsyes only lasts around 30 seconds
As an enthusiast, its a no brainer. The Model 3 hands down. It's alot more driver oriented than anything on the market. Plus, the supercharger network is a given. There's a reason why there's so many of them on the road. About the only thing I wish I had the option for is to make cruise control "dumb". Or an option to reduce it to set speed only without any camera or sensor intervention. That's about the only thing I would ask for. Otherwise, it's perfect!
p.s. Congrats Nicki! Also, that' is quite a "handbag".. 😂
There are two features of my Model 3 that I can never go back from even for a better car, they are the seamless, affordable and ubiquitous Tesla Supercharger network and the very smart features relating to the software and iPhone app.
I test drove an M3 and passed on it. The build quality of the Ioniq 6 was better, the ride whisper quiet, and price here in Canada was much better. Yes, the Super Charger network is great but I have home and work charging so much less of an issue. And you have Elon Musk . . . . getting more annoying by the day.
@@synthmaker Having a few ex-Apple engineers on the team helps with all that. 🙂
@@michaelcollier8768 That's why variety exists. The planet will be very mundane if everyone chose the same thing.
Congrats on the Ioniq.
Very informative, quick, to the point, hitting all the high points quickly, very well done video team. My favorite part? I LOVE the banter between you two, it’s just so much fun to see smart people have a bit of a go at each other all in good fun, the handbag bit was priceless 😂
I wouldn’t choose anything that had a key fob…thats a sign of old time inefficiency at its finest 😉
In all seriousness I do love the Tesla driver profiles and the phone app is amazing!
Really nice to see you both on one review. I should take the Tesla model 3 rwd long range battery...better charging network its the point😊
Two hours sat in the rear seat of a Tesla Model 3 and it was not nice for me. Knees higher than my bum, and the hard suspension made for an uncomfortable ride. I could not wait to get out of it.
Out of the two cars in the video, I'd take the Ioniq 6. Overall, I'd side-step both and go for a BMW i4.
All 3 are nice cars, but the Tesla gives the best bangs for the bucks in terms of efficiency, performance, and standard specification. The i4 is great, but the rear passenger space is compromised because of its ICE platform and transmission hump making middle seat passengers less comfortable. It does, however, have the advantage of being a hatchback.
I don't like how Teslas feel. The Y and 3 don't ride well. They don't seem like they're solidly built. They make a bit too much noise from the road. And I don't find the interior futuristic, it's more like an interior built around a screen but has good functionality in terms of storage. The handling is OK, the grip good. The S and the X ride much better but not class leading but still have the lack of solidity that the 3 and Y have.
The major plus for Tesla is the charging network and perhaps no dealers to deal with. The performance isn't important to me as other BEVs have plenty of useful acceleration.
Excellent (and very funny) video guys! Interestingly, the Tesla 3 can be had considerably cheaper than the Ioniq 6 in New Zealand (NZ$62,500 vs NZ$79,990 for the cheapest spec levels).
Glad they didn't pick one over the other because both are quite solid picks for many reasons. I much prefer Hyundai's driving setup though because I'm a sucker for driving engagement which Hyundai definitely incorporate in all of their EVs with easy access to drive settings and at the moment I have a Kona Electric, I couldn't do without using the paddles for adjusting regen, it's very handy driving around the city..especially with auto regen coming up to red lights and stop signs. For anyone that hasn't driven any model of Tesla yet though, it's not like any car on the road right now, you'll either love it or hate it..not really any in between
Do you ever use the intermediate settings on the paddles, or do you always bump it all the way up or all the way down? It seems like many other EVs follow a more on-off model for one-pedal driving, and people seem fairly happy with that way of doing it.
I remember a time when I thought I might get a tesla.
The first no for me was the lack of physical controls, much more dangerous to use while driving.
The second was the repeated issues with fit and finish.
The third was when the owner of tesla opened his mouth and I just can't give that man money.
I got a 2024 Ioniq 6 limited (US) and love it.
Oh and I almost forgot: I love carplay and android auto (yes I have 2 phones) and tesla supports neither.
Yes £50k is a lot of money…..👍 The Tesla is just about to bring out its new Highland model basically next gen model 3 and it will be interesting what it brings to the game.
I have an Ioniq 6 ultimate, I love it. Of all the equal technology, comfort, performance etc etc.. the Ioniq 6 has things that the Tesla’s don’t…..Physical buttons! For someone like me, mature in years, buttons are great. My model has a white comfortable interior with a sun roof and camera wing rear view, and the I think there is more space in the Ioniq than the Tesla.
The lease company my employer uses charges considerably more (circa £100 / month) for a model 3 vs the more expensive to buy ioniq 6.
They are taking advantage of all the people buying Teslas by ramping up the prices.
It was a no brainer when i ordered my wifes new car, both financially and we simply prefer the ioniq design.
Hate to burst your bubble on both but both cars are far too expensive both to buy at £45-£50k and to insure as the Tesla alone is group 48 insurance so who exactly is going to be able to buy/insure either unless they're getting one as a company car?
Highland is imminent!
There is also another thing against the Tesla - the Elon factor.
£51.000. Bang on the money lol I don’t think many people out there can afford that price
I see lots of people driving around in expensive cars, mostly ICE. New cars are expensive, especially at the premium end of the market and the running costs of both of those cars are far lower.
“Brand New” Ionic 6 vs old Tesla and for me the Tesla is still king. I like the look of the ionic 6 but the tech, efficiency and charging infrastructure wins for me every time; and then there’s “Brand New” model 3 Highland next year which will be IMO an even better EV. Roll 2024!
@3:40 so glad you mentioned the drag coefficient, for the Ioniq6. It’s good to know the numbers 🎉🙏🏼
Drag coefficient need to be multiplied with area to get real drag. A SUV can have better drag CO than a caterham, still higher total drag 😊
Congratulations and good luck to the expecting Mother. For me it's the Ioniq 6. I want some buttons bc it's safer and the Ioniq has more safety. Good Video. Thanks
I am a guy who ilkes tech, but when it comes to these cars I would pick the Ioniq 6. Tech primarily exists to make life easier, but with cars the opposite is happening. Cramming all features inside a single screen simply isn't ergonomic. That's why I would choose the Ioniq 6.
A lot of functions can be controlled by your voice, but the Ioniq seems to struggle in that department. I think to be honest, it's come down to personal preferences, and you quickly get used to having everything in one place like on the Tesla.
I never touch the screen while driving; everything I need I can control from the steering wheel switches/scrollwheel.
Stating drag co-efficient instead of actual drag (or at least frontal area) is a masterful deception by the makers of oversized SUVs that may have a slightly lower co-efficient but 50% more frontal area.
Miles per kWh.
Tested on the same day, same conditions.
No argument.
Ref R Symons (UK), Bjørn Nyland (Norway).
Most "talk a good game", one brand performs in those conditions.
Is about "System efficiency".
I6 is nice, Hyundai dealers…not so much, at least here in Canada. Adding up all the ‘misc fees’ they lumped into the quote (fees totalled $5.1k CAD, $3k more than Tesla, and Hyundai told me they were ‘mandatory’ like security etching and wheel locks lol), $3k less trade in value than Tesla offered (2018 Elantra and it seems Hyundai really understands the value of their vehicles) and having to spend $7k extra for the tech package to make it comparable to what you get with the M3, the I6 was the way more expensive option. It was a no-brainer to go with the 2024 M3LR and I am loving it. Have to admit, I love the funky look of the I6, but Hyundai has lost my business thanks to this shady dealer.
I don't get tired of seeing model 3 reviews
Ventilated seats, HUD, USS, sliding roof, ambient lights, quicker charge, better design, real buttons, all of this gives me only one conclusion...
To editor: Please choose the audio channels appropriately
Ioniq for me. Teslas are far too common, and I like buttons. 😎
The Audio is a bit off on this video
Teslas charging network is a huge bonus if you live in the south, live in the north, not so much
Like many things!!!
Both fab cars. But comparing a 2023 brand new car to one that has been out 6 years of so..
It will be interesting to review once the refreshed 2023 Model 3 Highland edition is here in the UK.
The Ioniq does benefit from physical buttons, and handy 13Amp power supply.
I also like the minimalist design of the model 3. I don't miss the instrument binnacle at all but I have installed an aftermarket HUD that reflects off the windscreen, and I wish a HUD came as standard. However, it appears the Highland model 3 will go even further and replace the indicator and gear lever stalks with touch buttons on the wheel and more on-screen controls, like the model S. If this happens it will be a step too far for sure. Maybe they can get away with it on a niche model sold predominantly in the US, but for a mass market car sold around the world, Telsa is going to get a rude shock, I think.
@@vasil7410 Do you mind sharing what aftermarket HUD you're using? Considering going that route as well if I were to get a model 3. My current car has a HUD and I feel like i'd really miss having it.
Ioniq6 SEL AWD is faster than the Model3 base and LD in 0-60 times. Model3 Performance is definitely faster though. Source is Consumer Reports.
Congratulations on 100k subscribers.
Ioniq for me, i find buttons useful. Also the ubiquitous Superchargers: nearest one is a horrible eighteen miles away in Maidstone and its six chargers are out in the back of beyond which, shock horror, have been known to be out of action! The next nearest is a forty minute drive to Bluewater shopping centre, no thanks. Wouldnt buy one so long as Musk is associated with them anyway.
😂😂😂
@@rogerstarkey5390 What's with the laughing smiley faces, which part of Judebrown4103 comment did you disagree with? I live in Liverpool and the nearest tesla superchargers are in Warrington 15.5 miles away from me!
@@rogerstarkey5390 I have a 150 kW charger only 2 km away from my house. The I6 gets from 20-80 in 20 minutes. So I need only 25 minutes from home to charge and back home. And I can go shopping there while charging. Perfect, who needs tesla?
The Ionic 6 looks like a Porsche Panamera from the back ....which I like. The Tesla is nice but reliability and build quality i would buy the Ionic 6. Great video.
I think I’d go for the Ioniq 6. I’d love how hassle free it would be driving the Tesla in Europe though.
gotta give it to the Tesla. Their charging network is 99.999999999% reliable and you'll basically never have an issue.
Tesla doesn’t have a service interval to stick to therefore way less cost for keeping warranty up to date. My Ioniq costs £550 for its 4th year service. What, why Hyundai, there’s hardly anything to service! Rip off!!
Tesla 👍
But, how many Ioniq 6 will be available to customers to buy? Hyundai don't seem to produce a lot of Ioniq 5 yet.
And how long do you need to wait before you get it?
I got mine in 4 weeks.
I can see that efficiency is important. But the buy of either of these vehicles, is not the kind of person, who is bothered about having to pay more for the miles they drive, nor are they kind of people who tootle around town, trying to eek out another 1/10 of a mile per kWh. If you’re that sort of person, you’d buy a 28kWh Ioniq or Kona EV.
Better purchasing and service with Tesla. Having had a Hyundai Ioniq fir 3 years and member of Hyundai forums I can assure you that main dealership customer service is DREADFUL, everywhere. Yes Hyundai have over air updates but really only for Satnav. Tesla updates mean you basically feel you’ve bought a new model every month or so! Tesla is at least 7 - 10 years ahead on technology.
Please try and reflect the reality of the Public charging network. 220+Kw Gridserve charging hubs of 10 units and above are now EVERYWHERE. Finding the highest power CCS charger for an Ioniq 5 or 6 is no longer any more difficult than Superchargers, in my experience.
So well considered throughout, including the conclusion. Thanks.
I laughed so hard when she asked. What are they painting it with?
I just ordered the 6. The simple fact is that the Tesla isn’t available on Motability. Even if it had been, the Ioniq 6 is far more comfortable on a larger variety of roads. Roads where the speed of the Tesla is redundant in modern Britain, I’m sad to say. So I’ve gone for the RWD ultimate in the Biophillic Blue. I’ll let you know how it goes over three years on my own channel.
Was this re-voiced, after the intro graphic?
There is a definite "inside" sound booth-like sound to the recording.
As always really good and informative video, thank you ladies, you do a great job.
Congratulations to the expectant mother.
I will allow myself to jump a step up in comfort and choose a Model Y or an Ioniq5 instead.
Hi ladies, greetings from Oxford. No doubt the Hyundai is a looker, however with a refreshed Model 3 imminent, I would hold off with a verdict personally. The M3 has not changed on the surface, but under the skin it has evolved significantly, the refresh (project Highland) will I think set new standards for an EV. I do agree that he M3 should have been a hatchback from inception.
Totally agree eficenty is the most important, next charging, and then driving dynamics :) Girls and guys at Electrifying keep up the great work.
If efficiency is important to you, you wouldn't opt for a panoramic roof. They weigh about 40kg which is like always traveling with 2 full suitcases.
Charging voltage has little to do with the 20-80% charging times which is down to the battery type, software, preconditioning etc. What about safety, software like Auto pilot, potential of FSD.
Nice video!👍 but too bad the Hyundai have the option 20 inch wheels!😡
Better comfort/range/road noice with standard 18 inch👍
The Ioniq 6 can also be bought with RWD and 18 inch rims for more range, efficiency and lower price.
Hyundai’s 800v charging is now found to be its Achilles heal as when on standard 400v chargers they struggle very much! Very slow charging, especially in cold temps whereas Tesla has overcome this
With respect, I have no idea what you are on about!
The June update to the Ioniq 5 (the 6 had it already) included battery preconditioning when navigating to or via a charger.
There are a number of videos on YT showing the Ioniq 6 charging faster than the Model 3 in colder conditions....
@@bryanduncan6178
You mean the onboard charger doesn't limit them to 100kW on a 400v charger?
Tested?
Documented?
🤔
Nope! The E-GMP models get full charging speeds out of Instavolt chargers - Tesla's can't!
Indeed, I got 175kW out of a 150kW charger two weeks ago (I even took a photo!) thanks to the 800v system on the car....
@@bryanduncan6178 that’s few and far between v Tesla new V3 and now V4 units they get up to 250kw and better charging curve. Watch out for upcoming battery recalls and issues with the South Korean batteries
In the States the Ionic 6’s are sitting on the lots and not selling! The Hyundai salesman said that the company never sends them any base models after I asked him why they only carry the expensive trims of the model. When it comes to price I don’t think anyone would choose the 6 over the Tesla Model 3.
They are VERY ugly
yeah, but Tesla also have Elon so is INSTANT LOSS. 🤡
@@morganangel340 Elon is a Boss. You , Morgan, are not
I believe the people who actually use their hard earned money to purchase a car have decided already. Some journalists with nothing invested is not going to sway many.
The Tesla is nice because once you set it up you almost never need to change anything.
The biggest issue with the Ioniq 6 is the lack of true OTA updates (although Hyundai claims they support OTA). Hyundai is forcing owners to the dealer to get updated software for level 2 charging.
OTA works, but I think the reason is that you need some kind of new hardware too.
The Ionic 6 may have a lot of good things, but it looks like a first gen Panamera left in the shower to melt. It’s a literal used bar of soap, which is extra disappointing because of how good the Ionic 5 looks.
Surely Tesla could start designing good looking cars? They're so boring to look at.
Tesla has an advanced software but for built quality and design..the Ioniq 6 wins it.
Hyundai is $17000 dearer than the Model 3 in Australia
Does the ionic 6 have bidirectional charging?
I think the Ionic 6 looks better than the Model 3 on the outside, but I prefer the Model 3 on the inside! If i could pick one it’d be the Model 3 🤷🏻♀️
Ginny's right about energy efficiency, Nikki. As the climate crisis escalates, sleek, stylish, fast, classy head-turners are not going to save the planet. We're going to need features like V2L -which Tesla doesn't offer. Haven't you seen an increase in "phantom braking," red steering wheel alarms, ping-ponging between lanes, Nikki? I certainly have in my 5-year old Model 3, ever since recent updates disabled the radar and proximity sensors. Ugh! Those unpredictable, erratic behaviors now scare my wife to death! Having said that, I should clarify that I wouldn't opt for the Ioniq 6 either, but rather the Ioniq 5: I'm fed up with having a boot and want a hatchback in my next EV.
If your car is fitted with them, I don't think the ultrasonic parking sensors are disabled by the latest software. Personally, I think the frequent software updates are great. It's a constant stream of new features and problems fixed. When I had a problem with a late model Mercedes recently, their solution to an obvious software fix was to buy the latest model.
V2L
Gimmic
(But Tesla will have it soon)
Otherwise. You seem to be one of the recent batch of "I have a Tesla.... But... (Not really)" trolls populating the generally uniformed channels.
Go for it!
@@rogerstarkey5390 V2L is NOT a "gimmick." If so, why is Tesla going to "have it soon"? It's useful, especially when picnicking and camping. Just ask a Rivian or Lightning or Ioniq owner. And you seem to be one of the "Muskovite" batch of fanbois populating the generally uninformed channels. As if my wife and I haven't had our Model 3 for over 5 years and 74,000 miles and are very familiar with the car's pluses and minuses. Go for it!
@@vasil7410 Yes they are. Rather than seeing proximity lines when there's a bike rack of small trailer behind me like in the past, I now see "phantom" cars appearing and disappearing in my right and left blind spots because of "Tesla Vision." I just wish I still had the EAP that came with our car 5 years ago.
@@Yanquetino Those occasional phantom car images have always been there, it's not due to a new update. They also don't have anything to do with parking assistance, the parking assistance on the screen are the lines drawn around the car and the distances to objects. I have ultrasonic sensors and latest software and the lines and distances appear. BTW, even cars without sensors still draw those lines and distances. If you don't have this parking assistance then something is possibly wrong with your car.
So difficult to talk of efficiency... When it wasn't long ago that you were telling everyone how good a new and second hand Jaguar iPace is!!! Possibly outside a Hummer, the most inefficient BEV you can buy!!
If it is all about efficiency then you should be testing the single motor versions. Hyundai and Kia need to move on fast away from expensive LNC batteries to cheaper LFP chemistry.
For cost and range you need efficiency, and/ or high density pack.
Several ways to do it, Tesla still has the best combination of *System* efficiency (the whole vehicle) and performance.
That's likely to continue with continuous updates.
Edit.
WILL continue
@@rogerstarkey5390 yeah, but Tesla also have Elon so is INSTANT LOSS. 🤡
Very entertaining. Good job ladies :-)
for me the Model 3 LR always ...
btw tmk in no test did the 6 beat the 3 in efficiency ... see Nyland as the most reliable tester
but it is a question of taste for sure.
here btw the price gaps a re much bigger, basic model 3 and basic Ioniq 6 are at least 8000€ apart and with similar options more like 10000
To each his own. In Canada the base Ioniq 6 kills the base M3 with a much better range and they are priced the same. Spend a little more and you can get an AWD Ioniq 6. You have to spend a heck of a lot more to get the AWD M3.
Neither of them are hatchbacks. Take them away and bring me the BMW i4.
Of course i would go for the best, the model Y.. with one option: fsd
I wonder why are you, as journalists, still obsessed with range, efficiency and Tesla chargers? This you keep feeding the range anxiety. Show people (potential converts) how easy it is to live with a 200-250 mile range EV in daily life. Even when you do a longer journey every now and then. One car journalist I saw just jumped in a car unprepared(!) with a state of charge of 55% and two cards for charging and drove to the the south of France. A journey of over 750 miles. No charging issues whatsoever anymore. Judge the car by safety, comfort, design and new important features.
As a marketing stunt Tesla offered free charging for the day (in NL) for every EV car brand. This shows that the competition grows stronger and the advantage of Tesla super chargers somewhere in forlorn places is fading. Yes Tesla is a good car but it’s not the standard. There are so many others less focused on tech and silly wood fires. Stop praising minimalistic design when its sole purpose was meant to cheap construction for in the end still expensive cars. Why do we need super acceleration any longer. It was a gimmick to draw in the petrol heads and give them an argument to fend off their car crazy friends. Are we waiting for the first child to be killed on a pedestrian crossing when a young driver tries out how fast his EV car can accelerate. In short rethink your journalistic approach and come up with something exciting that shows the enjoyment and ease of electric driving for everybody.
You'd think that being orders of magnitude more popular than the Ionic 6 would count towards being the car of the year. But no, these car awards have always been dictated by the advertising budgets of car companies in the respective media publications making these awards.
The car of the year is chosen out of new models.
Tesla has better software and the safety is far superior. The fact that Apple and Google engineers work at Tesla says a lot.
The original Ioniq was more efficient than either of these.
Better drag efficiency than the 3 too. Why is Hyundai not building an updated version of the original.
Till then the 3 is still on my shopping list.
@@ftb2772 Updated? The original Ioniq Electric was a great car but the batt was too small, which helped give it such good efficiency, and the design was dated. The I6 and the I5 are the updates and there are more versions still to come!
i like Hyundai, but tesla gimmicks, positive way . and super chargers good.
I wish I could've opted a proper roof and a headliner for my Model 3.
In my opinion the Ioniq 6 is a nicer car and more luxurious than the Model 3(a-la EV Camry). All the Tesla's are boring looking, and same shape only stretched or squished depending on the model. What a boring world it would be if we all drove the exact same car. Panoramic roof, excellent idea for a warming planet as we've seen with the heatwaves this Northern Summer.
Dumb comments.
At least show some imagination.
I think ioniq’s maintenance fee that will be definitely lower than model 3/Y
I think Hyundai needs to fix their reputation before rushing forward with numbers. Unless they are competing for "the most unreliable automaker of the year" 😅. Seriously who in their right mind is willing to fork over $50k+ for a Hyundai
The results from the German TÜV car inspection after 3 years of ownership, Tesla is the second worst with almost as many faults as Dacia.
Main reason is bad suspension arms.
Hyundai and Kia is in the other end of the scale with much better results.
Project Highland has entered the chat...
Good review but they didn't discuss arguably the most important section, what is the battery chemistry. Some Tesla model 3 have LFP battery chemistry which is far superior to NCM used in the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Car has LFP battery can charge to 100% without degradation and peace of mind knowing Cobalt's not used, while NCM battery-Cobalt is used, meaning child labor could be involved.
Let's get some points about batteries clarified.
1) While LFP (LiFePo4 if we're being correct) can charge to 100% , it's still not recommended all the time.
.
2) Nickel based cells CAN be charged to 100% ..... WHEN needed (which is rarely)..
The trick is to lot leave them *soaking* at that charge.
You should also consider that packs may have a "top buffer" (ref the latest model S variant) which means that the "100" YOU see on the screen isn't 100 "in the pack"
.
3) Cobalt...... Don't fall for that one. It's FUD.
And don't quote "child labour involved" as if it was EVER certain.
.
4) It's not just "LFP" or "Nickel".
You're going to see the Manganese doped "LMFP", plus the "M3P" cells, both from CATL within the next few months, probably in the M3 Highland (speculation, but likely based on the new CATL factory within sight of Tesla Shanghai).
The only things certain about cell chemistry and performance?
1) It's going to be "the wild west" for the next 5-10 years, with "the next miracle cell" arriving every few months.
.
2) A percentage of those cells WILL be the miracle..... It's just a question of when, how good, and how long before each is surpassed.
.
The other point is Nickel based cells have and will continue to have higher energy density, meaning you need fewer cells than "others" (which may actually make a Nickel *pack* cheaper)
That will also make the pack and car lighter and more efficient (longer range)
.
It's a black art to get the best combination.
Tesla executives probably hi-fived each other when they saw the Ioniq 6. That car is hideous
You cannot compare Hyundai electric car in any version with Tesla is way faster tesla and better engineering the Hyundai is like a regular car inside but is electric plus is over 50k the premium one ,Tesla it have better range plus it feels you driving race car::) plus design is way better btw I got both.
Letting you know in the comment below.
Having owned a 2023 Kia Niro EV, i can say that the infotainment system found in Kia/Hyundai is utter crap. Slow, looks dated, unintuitive and the navigation is poorly maintained. Can´t navigate to a Tesla Supercharger and precondition the battery, and the cars don´t give an estimated SoC on arrival.
And honestly, the Ioniq 6 is way too expensive. The standard range is basically same price as a RWD Model Y.
If i could have a Model 3 with the build quality and ACC from Hyundai, it would be almost perfect.
I like the Model 3, but I would prefer the IONIQ 6 because its performance is comparable to the Tesla, but it is something different.
How's the performance comparable?
Have we been watching the same video? 😂
Battery size, range, charging speed, top speed, acceleration, vehicle size, coefficient of drag, passenger and payload capacity, price, etc. On the subjective side, I feel the IONIQ 6 has a bit more panache about it. @@DeanoEV135
@@grahamcook9289 ok I’ll ask again seeing as you’ve listed loads of other metrics that aren’t relevant. How is the performance comparable? The slowest Tesla is barely any slower than the fastest Hyundai. Don’t even get into the M3P.
Maaate, who cares about the 0-60 or top the speed? Both are more than fast enough with both cars on public roads. Grow up and stop being an idiot with your view of cars before you kill yourself in one. Hopefully if you it will just be yourself, and not passengers or innocent bystanders and before you breed. @@DeanoEV135
How can you not tell about the miserable "Vision" that cant keep speed on any kind of cruise control when visibility get below 500 meters, the terrible "Auto"-dim and wiper-"Automation" that' s an utter (sad) joke and show of non-working automations but forced use on any kind of cruise control. This all happened due to removal of the radar or its functionality for those of ud who had a Tesla before the greed-based "Vision" software was installed in our former beloved car last autumn? Or do you only test cars in lab-perfect weather and daylight where it is acceptable. I think a lot of new Tesla owners will get a true chock when we get to autumn and the weather to bring these flaws into every day driving.
Ioniq for me, I don't like, and never have, the look of the Tesla.
Can’t believe you bottled, come on, make a choice…
