Just came back from holiday in Korea. In Seoul, these things are used as taxis, Ioniq 5s as well. Went to the southern resort island of Jeju too, the car rental place I went to had them lined up for what looked like miles…. They even had ID4s, Q4 e-trons and the Merc EQS available to rent, really impressive, but I’m sure cost a bomb. My family went away with a diesel Kia Sorento… 😂 Ioniq 6 looks a lot smaller than dimensions suggests when you see it on the road. The back looks weird, but the from has got character that I like.
I also went over there but in November. I wasn't fortunate enough to ride this one but yes they do look very small in person. I really liked the 5 when I rode it in a Taxi :D
While we all love you Mat. We also have to give major props to Lewis. He is also a crucial part of the succes that you guys are having and it is well deserved!
In defense of annoying thing #2, I think if you have the wheel at that lower setting, your torso is probably a little shorter than Mat's, so it might just work out for you in term of seeing the speedometer.
Here's an idea. Why not get them to offer an old fashioned, boring, conventional speedo - where a needle sweeps around a large circular dial? I believe you don't need to do it the old fashioned way - it is possible to do it on an electronic display, like VW group have somehow managed!!!
@@stephenfrost2272 Because then half the population would say it's boring, outdated, one half would say it's the bee's knees and one half would be bad at maths.
Would be awesome if they made an estate/shooting brake version. There's currently only two electric estates on the market (one rather cheap, the other very expensive) and we could really do with more choice.
That left mirror scene reminds me of my uncle in his Ranger, he was doing a reverse maneuver and he never looked at his screen and we all asked why he didn't and he just said "I don't trust it, I rather use my mirrors".
I've ordered it bcs I fell in love with this car. I love that it has got the Matrix-LEDs and a glass roof that can be opened. The handling will be a bit better and space is still enough if you don't have children
It's 5 k more than Tesla M3, slower, less range, less practical, inferior infotainment system/autopilot and in my opinion doesn't even look good. I know M3 isn't the best looker either.
@@Professor-Scientist the Tesla autopilot is not that good... It always switches off and just annoys you. The Iq6 is waaaaay more comfortable in driving because of better dampers and chassis. And it has the better interior handling for all its functions because it has buttons which I(!) like. The Tesla has a better infotainment of course! And it has a bit more of space in the Frunk and trunk but a lot less space for passengers in the fond. And Tesla has its Super chargers ofc. But there are many things that the M3 is lacking. Headup, Matrix, Ambiente-Lights, openable roof, a "hood" for the roof, 800v charging, V2L... I'm not saying that the Ioniq6 is a better car than the Model3 in general. I myself just find it better than the M3. I think we can be happy to have such great electric cars as a choice! So everybody can pick what he/she wants 😊👍🏻
This is an EV that makes sense. All this talk about range anxiety and everything, yet everyone's building and buying huge, heavy, brick shaped SUVs....
Model 3 gives the same range but has 100 L more trunk space and double up in the frunk. I think many car buyers would find the luggage space too limited with the Ioniq 6.

There's a bit of an issue with the WLTP on this car. It was originally stated at 390+ miles. Now, most reviews are saying 338. Where's the extra 60 miles gone? With the very low drag coefficient, it should be 390, but it seems very similar to the Ionic 5 and EV6 RWD.

Yeah I agree, these cars are indeed impressive for hyundai, not sure what types of cars that hyundai makes (budget, mainstream or luxury) they seem to be in the middle, but if we compare it to some other brands, these cars are way outdated.
I think when testing the efficiency it should be tested in worst case scenarios so bare minimum range and then best case scenarios and average use scenarios. Worst case scenario (Winter, Climate control on to highest settings including heated seats and heated steering wheel phones plugged in every port. or Summer, A/C full blast, Windows down, sunroof open, phones plugged in every port.) Knowing the bare minimum range feels more important than best case range
The Chinese market is probably the most important to the BEV Automakers. Part of the reason sedans have more appeal. VW under performed in sales in China, because their ID line was more SUV like. No surprise the Hyundai Ionic 6 and the new VW ID7 are Sedans.
You forgot to mention the UK three pin plug under the middle rear seat. Maybe it’s because it’s covered by a sliding cover that you missed it. But no need for that special adapter where you normally charge from
Are roads in town in the UK tight in general? I always have that feeling whenever Mat is reviewing a car in town. At least that is how it looks, compared to The Netherlands, where I live. Great car btw. Don't even mind the double spoiler, but would take the Ionic 5 as well.
Yh they are tight all around, but even worse in dense population areas like central London, horrible traffic, and roads so narrow I could jump from one side to the other if I got a proper runup.
It's a shame that so many cars these days have obstructed dials when you have the steering wheel in a comfortable position. I have to either sacrifice comfort or driving information.

the dual spoilers are fine - the vertical bits in the lower rear bumper throws off the entire back end. In fact - Hyundai has fantastic designs and they always gum up the lower bumpers and lower side panels. This car deserves completely smooth bumpers - not sure why they completely changed the overall design aesthetic of the concept car. I rather like the interior. Great review, as always.

Got the Ioniq 6 a few months ago and love it. It’s a great car to drive, FAST (AWD), and different from anything else on the road. I prefer the sedan look compared to the Ioniq 5 retro hatchback design
Someone from the United States here… wtf 😳 are width restricters? And why is that a thing? What are you supposed to do if you can’t fit? Inconvenience the people behind you and do a lot of points to turn in that tiny road? 😮
It’s supposed to be for speed control. My car (as you can see in my pfp) isn’t that big but even I’ve had to squeeze through some of them. Can’t imagine vehicles like ambulances and caravans can fit through
i testdrove the ioniq 6 and for someone who's on the taller side you might have some issues. Im 187 and i found that to make my head fit underneath the roof comfortably i needed to recline my backrest quite a bit. A little too much. As a previous driver of BMW's and sportier cars im used to having my back upright and my legs straight in front, in the Ioniq 6 my legs were not completely straight and by backrest was a little too far reclined.
The 6 is an almost ideal electric car ... love it, but I am impressed how much physical disadvantages you find when compared to the Ioniq 5, which I personally don't like ... then I'd rather go with the EV6. Since the biggest limitation on an electric car is the range, it should mean that a less ideal aerodynamic car would be a bit like shooting yourself in the foot. But I guess the practicality of an SUV crossover seems to be more appealing than a long range. Fact is that in the daily life most people drive ranges that are no problem with almost all electric cars and if you don't live in Germany, like I do, nobody drives fast anyway and the aerodynamic disadvantages are not as pronounced as they are over here. By the way here in Germany the marketing is very different from you mentioned in the UK with one battery and two motor options .... here we also have a 53kWh battery with an 111kW(151HP) motor, while there are two versions with 77kWh with a 168kW(228HP) and a 239kW(325) AWD. The 350KW DC charging power is really groundbreaking ... over here we have a bunch of chargers which supposedly should be able to max out at 350kW, have no clue how realistic that is? Since you don't have to stand in line for paying fuel at the petrol stations counter, you can check your mails, take a slash and off you go again. Anyway, thanks for the very critical review ... that is how a real review should be ... Respect!
U can change the vehicle color in setting for the infotainment I am almost sure since this setting exists in my Genesis GV80, and I can tell both systems are typical.
@@JensStragier lmao my bad i cant read, so what exactly is the visualisation in the infortainmenbt system, is it like the colours for the interface or interior lighting?
The colour match on the bird's eye view is always white because of high contrast needed if your close eyesight isn't god - like older people who have good distance sight, but need glasses to read. High contrast white against dark roads helps with this
I’m not usually a badge snob and I love a lot of the cars coming out of Korea but I still don’t understand why Hyundai didn’t spin off IONIQ as its own brand like SEAT did with Cupra, especially given how different the IONIQ 5 was to the previous Hyundai Ioniq. They make all these fancy, futuristic cars with clean lines then stick on an ugly plastic badge from a 90s budget minivan.
Matt Watson demonstrating perfectly why too much tech is a distraction. Anyway, after all that, most of us are going to be forced to use bicycles and even using horse drawn carts!
I once crashed a Kona EV because I was playing with the regen brakes and somehow forgot that the car hasn't completely stopped and rolled forward into oncoming traffic. Luckily it was just a minor fender bender.
Oh yeah, of course! It's the _screens_ fault if you're distracted! Officer, you need to understand: the screen forced me to look at it! It's totally not my fault that I ran over a family of five! Like, what was I _supposed_ to do!? NOT look at it? Don't be crazy!
@@DowncastParadox Some people are easier to distract than others. Introducing incentives for distraction could statistically lead to more distracted drivers. But sure, let's use ridiculous superlatives as examples.
I'd give the music analogies a miss from now on Matt. Nirvana didn't have a debut smash hit to follow up so there was no difficult second album. Their first album barely sold outside of Seattle so they were still unknown.
Matt is demonstrating all what’s wrong with modern cars…..relying on tech (screens) to judge distances/loosing concentration and wandering across the road using tech (screens)……
I know the design is a bit marmite but hats off to Hyundai for doing something different. Too many cars follow a similar design trajectory and this imo looks far nicer than a Tesla model 3 - hands down.
Moral of the story never rely on the camera to drive, always use your mirrors and judge gaps with your eyes. The camera should only be used for checking what is around you when parking, going around tight corners or at night when reversing in the dark. I have a 360o camera in my Land Cruiser but only use it as required.
in mid 2021 my dad bought a 2020 I30, while considering the elantra (but it was too expensive) and now, I think the ioniq 6 is the best looking hyundai they ever made
E-GMP platform peak charging rate is about 230-240kW, not 350kW. That's probably some communication issue regarding the fact that it can take advantage of the fastest 350kW chargers.
Personally, I think these electric cars don't even make sense anymore at these crazy price tags... knowing that the Model 3 and Y have received huge discounts lately.
For now the Hyundai EV Platform is the best in the middle class market (for EV´s), I love the design of the Ioniq5 I don't like this one at all, its like a mini whale, reminds me of a small version of the first Panamera, blunt and ugly. The back is...horrific with the 2 mini spoilers sticking out. What were they thinking?
Middle class, 47k for this, i have no surprise now, that there is idiots who are paying this for Korean crap that amount, i will laugh at every clown who will pay that for this garbage
I mean I would say the Tesla Model 3 is best in the middle class market for EV's, even though I dont like the Model 3, it still has more tech and is still more modern and premium, the hyundai is missing some basic features or a car. I would even consider placing the ioniq 6 under middle class.
well, duh. have you ever heard of improving, R&D, making mistakes and learning from them, investment, etc. etc. and just all-round evolution? that's not just the nature of korean car manufacturing brands but virtually everything in life.

Thank you so much Mat for not throwing that box in the boot and making a devastating explosion like you did in the Toyota Aygo X review video!
What complete nonsense is this🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious banana reference 😂
We all do miss Rebecca and her 5 foot 4 and a half don’t we.
The back looks like a porsche turbo s
1:27 No,it doesn’t😂
The fact Mat tried to blame the car for him smacking the mirror is laughable... Its your fault 200%, own it mate...
Loved the carbuyer reference with the banana :D
Unlike most others in EV's Hyundai seems to know what there doing! They have good hardware and software and going straight for efficiency!
If BMW would ever release a shit like this, you all would jump and roast it and call it a 911 cheap rip off.
Ioniq 6 is looking nice
No
i testdrove the ioniq 6 and for someone who's on the taller side you might have some issues. Im 187 and i found that to make my head fit underneath the roof comfortably i needed to recline my backrest quite a bit. A little too much. As a previous driver of BMW's and sportier cars im used to having my back upright and my legs straight in front, in the Ioniq 6 my legs were not completely straight and by backrest was a little too far reclined.
I love this car. I have already ordered it
Agree completely regarding the styling. A pity it's not closer to the concept.
The 6 is an almost ideal electric car ... love it, but I am impressed how much physical disadvantages you find when compared to the Ioniq 5, which I personally don't like ... then I'd rather go with the EV6.
Since the biggest limitation on an electric car is the range, it should mean that a less ideal aerodynamic car would be a bit like shooting yourself in the foot.
But I guess the practicality of an SUV crossover seems to be more appealing than a long range. Fact is that in the daily life most people drive ranges that are no problem with almost all electric cars and if you don't live in Germany, like I do, nobody drives fast anyway and the aerodynamic disadvantages are not as pronounced as they are over here.
By the way here in Germany the marketing is very different from you mentioned in the UK with one battery and two motor options .... here we also have a 53kWh battery with an 111kW(151HP) motor, while there are two versions with 77kWh with a 168kW(228HP) and a 239kW(325) AWD.
The 350KW DC charging power is really groundbreaking ... over here we have a bunch of chargers which supposedly should be able to max out at 350kW, have no clue how realistic that is?
Since you don't have to stand in line for paying fuel at the petrol stations counter, you can check your mails, take a slash and off you go again.
Anyway, thanks for the very critical review ... that is how a real review should be ... Respect!
Hyundai: “Hey bro, can I copy your homework?”
Porsche: “Okay, but change it up a bit so it doesn’t look obvious”
Hyundai: …
I think it's a fab looking car. Also, Crikey Matt - what are you feeding that thing 😂😉
Matt getting Crikey? Seems legit. 😂
VPL
@@SC-lb6cn a glorious one LOL
We are very happy with our Ioniq 5 😊 The value for money is very good, but I think I’ll keep my A6.
U can change the vehicle color in setting for the infotainment I am almost sure since this setting exists in my Genesis GV80, and I can tell both systems are typical.
? You can only change the vehicle colour in the future bmw. Have not seen any other cars change colour.
Ioniq 5 better.
@@oscar7476 Read it again. He means the visualisation in the infotainment system, not the actual paint.. :)
@@JensStragier lmao my bad i cant read, so what exactly is the visualisation in the infortainmenbt system, is it like the colours for the interface or interior lighting?
The colour match on the bird's eye view is always white because of high contrast needed if your close eyesight isn't god - like older people who have good distance sight, but need glasses to read. High contrast white against dark roads helps with this
I’m not usually a badge snob and I love a lot of the cars coming out of Korea but I still don’t understand why Hyundai didn’t spin off IONIQ as its own brand like SEAT did with Cupra, especially given how different the IONIQ 5 was to the previous Hyundai Ioniq. They make all these fancy, futuristic cars with clean lines then stick on an ugly plastic badge from a 90s budget minivan.
They have genesis for that
Because it's still a Hyundai. I don't see it as a luxury car, not very sporty.
Because it’s the future of the brand
I'm falling in love with this shape
That backend is minging! That's a lot of eurgh for 47k!
As the current TV ad says, it's not pronounced high-oon-die. It's hyoon-day.
Matt Watson demonstrating perfectly why too much tech is a distraction. Anyway, after all that, most of us are going to be forced to use bicycles and even using horse drawn carts!
This highlights how dangerous it's going to become with drivers distracted by all the screens.
I once crashed a Kona EV because I was playing with the regen brakes and somehow forgot that the car hasn't completely stopped and rolled forward into oncoming traffic. Luckily it was just a minor fender bender.
Just look around, drivers get distracted by everything
Oh yeah, of course! It's the _screens_ fault if you're distracted! Officer, you need to understand: the screen forced me to look at it! It's totally not my fault that I ran over a family of five! Like, what was I _supposed_ to do!? NOT look at it? Don't be crazy!
@@DowncastParadox Some people are easier to distract than others. Introducing incentives for distraction could statistically lead to more distracted drivers. But sure, let's use ridiculous superlatives as examples.
@@Miniek80 people driving with both hands at their phone for example..
I'd give the music analogies a miss from now on Matt. Nirvana didn't have a debut smash hit to follow up so there was no difficult second album. Their first album barely sold outside of Seattle so they were still unknown.
Matt is demonstrating all what’s wrong with modern cars…..relying on tech (screens) to judge distances/loosing concentration and wandering across the road using tech (screens)……
Nah, only the mirrors are an issue
Mat obviously hasn’t heard Hyundai’s patronising radio adverts telling us all how we should be pronouncing the name.
I have one name for the rear:
*INFINITI J30*
And I’ve always found that car absolutely BEAUTIFUL, mainly at the rear.
The Ioniq 6 is similar to a Porsche Taycan and a Porsche 911, it’s much better ❤️
I know the design is a bit marmite but hats off to Hyundai for doing something different. Too many cars follow a similar design trajectory and this imo looks far nicer than a Tesla model 3 - hands down.
This brands design’s honestly. Wouldn’t go for any other electric car than a Hyundai/Kia one
Congratulations you have been selected amongst my lucky winner, text me on telegram to redeem your gift....
They are vile lol. They looks horrible
I wanna see N versions of these cars

I think top gear did one with the n74
Excited for the hydrogen version of this

In full re-gen mode, do the brake lights come on when you let off the throttle?
Yes
Moral of the story never rely on the camera to drive, always use your mirrors and judge gaps with your eyes. The camera should only be used for checking what is around you when parking, going around tight corners or at night when reversing in the dark. I have a 360o camera in my Land Cruiser but only use it as required.
Why is the Ioniq becoming some of the nicest looking cars man. the original Ioniq was alright, Ioniq 5: gorgeous and the Ioniq 6 looks just as cool.
The front looks similar to Sonys concept, and the back looks like a 2023 Saab 🤣
Looks like a old school Porsche from the back 😅
Man I’m tired of these car companies copying Germans😪
@@atlasposiedon3633 Give examples
in mid 2021 my dad bought a 2020 I30, while considering the elantra (but it was too expensive) and now, I think the ioniq 6 is the best looking hyundai they ever made
Hyundai ioniq 5 just launched in India🔥
Sharukh khan came in event to launch
E-GMP platform peak charging rate is about 230-240kW, not 350kW. That's probably some communication issue regarding the fact that it can take advantage of the fastest 350kW chargers.
I really do love this car! Very very tempted to test drive one, would go well with my solar panels
I think a porsche 911 married a Mercedes CLA but Tesla Model 3 joined in.
Ioniq 6 still a 6/10.
It sort of looks like a mixture between old and new Porsches, the front from a panemera and the back from an old 911
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 have such a lovely and cool looking design!
Personally, I think these electric cars don't even make sense anymore at these crazy price tags... knowing that the Model 3 and Y have received huge discounts lately.
For now the Hyundai EV Platform is the best in the middle class market (for EV´s), I love the design of the Ioniq5 I don't like this one at all, its like a mini whale, reminds me of a small version of the first Panamera, blunt and ugly. The back is...horrific with the 2 mini spoilers sticking out. What were they thinking?
Middle class, 47k for this, i have no surprise now, that there is idiots who are paying this for Korean crap that amount, i will laugh at every clown who will pay that for this garbage
The new Prius, looks way better.
I mean I would say the Tesla Model 3 is best in the middle class market for EV's, even though I dont like the Model 3, it still has more tech and is still more modern and premium, the hyundai is missing some basic features or a car. I would even consider placing the ioniq 6 under middle class.
Why no one else ever thinking of the glove drawer ...genius !!
The difference in terms of the 6's waist height compared to the Prophecy that makes it less cool. To be frank, it's one weird looking car!
Why do you always mention the bloody specialist timing gear? Every bloody video Matt!
Hyundai and other “affordable” brands like Kia are becoming better and better every car!
*affordable
Please use this word, we lost an iconic car due to the word cheap
well, duh. have you ever heard of improving, R&D, making mistakes and learning from them, investment, etc. etc. and just all-round evolution?
that's not just the nature of korean car manufacturing brands but virtually everything in life.
@@lowkeyconvert8971 let me tell you their shady practices, in India, their Creta has scored a 3/5 star in crash tests, still it sells like hot cakes, their i20 has scored 3 stars, they consider our life inferior than other countries 🤬
@@piyushkanthak1087 there's probably more nuance to this. doesn't every respective country or continent set their own safety standards? ultimately, all car manufacturers have to abide by the standards of each country so it sounds like your government signed off on this and are fine with the particular safety standard for the indian market.
@@lowkeyconvert8971 well that's true too, the government here wants to promote safety but doesn't have any standards, currently Skoda VW, home grown companies like Tata Mahindra are the pioneers in safety here in India, Suzuki are even worst, you must be knowing about Swift, Ignis, they are India's worst rated cars😒
Didn’t think it was that cool when I saw the pictures but went to the LA auto show last year and it looks really gud in person
I really like the design, way way more than the ioniq 5
I think a porsche 911 married a Mercedes CLA but Tesla Model 3 joined in.
Ioniq 5 is 8.1/10. Ioniq 6 only 6/10.
@@oscar7476 Tesla comes in and ruin the project 😂
i love the 6, im waiting for the performance model, i think im gonna buy it.
Jonny Smith with the exact opposite take on front and rear. I agree with Jonny, but shows again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I love SUVs & Hatches - this is the first sedan to ever make me want a sedan 😂😍 I love the design & Hyundai 🥳
Really, this thing? Not a Mercedes W212 or BMW 740i?
The last sound is someone walking in snow. Come on Mat...
