Got the first edition awd since may. Black on black interior exterior color sceme, reverse lights white in stead of red. Which looks so much better then the regular models. Charging is consistently 17 min for 80%. Range is very accurate with about 410km when driving relaxed and properly, about 380km when driving fot fun. Smooth driving and handeling. Turns heads every day
Well done Tom and the team, the reviews have found a great sweet spot between being enjoyable to watch and fabulously detailed technical reviews. I particularly like the focus on the ride of the vehicle.
Tom is right about the back seat. No one ever sits in my backseat. I’ve had the car NEW since 2017 and no one has sat in the seat other then me vacuuming and spring and fall cleaning but no one has ridden in it. How different from the day before the home PC. When we lived in our cars gathering together to play Video Games or go to the beach or stores. If you have No children at home and your partner has their own car I think this is a large percentage of sedans.
I'd give this car literally all the design awards of this decade. The designer successfully hid its tall height, and made the most intriguing design. Front lights just needs some eyelids like the race-car version, they probably cudnt do tht frm factory due to regulations. Absolutely love the rear end. If this had an engine in it, sales of other cars would decline rapidly.
At the end of the day, Tesla makes the best electric vehicles and knows how to gain maximum optimisation in engineering and costs. However, this is better than a Model 3, and it is where I would put my money for an electric vehicle. It's got the looks, the range, the tech, the space, and the performance. It's also good to hear that it has the driving dynamics to match. Well done to Hyundai. It seems they've got a winner on their hands.
I feel like the only problem with Tesla is that all buttons and stuff you need are done in the central screen I also hate Ioniq 6 for not putting physical buttons for temperature in the car and seat/steering wheel heater supposedly this Ioniq 6 beep for everything all the time that's a bummer coming from a Ioniq 28kw it's a shame to lose those winter features
Thanks for your great review. This was actually quite instrumental, as an Australian review, in convincing me to purchase the Ioniq 6 RWD Dynamiq back in August. I took delivery in September and now after 3,000 km I have not been disappointed in any way. It is a joy to drive. I am not a car guy at all, generally viewing them simply as a tool to complete a task, but now I find myself actually hankering to just take the Ioniq out for a drive in the hills or even across the suburbs.
In Canada the base price is supposedly 54999, because if the base model of a line is under 55k it qualifies for up to 10k off depending on the model. This means that unlike the Tesla Model 3 Performance this will still get up to 10k off even if you get an AWD model. That makes it much more attractive here than a lot of other high priced EVs.
I’m 60 years old and been riding in cars since I remember back to age 3. At one time I was buying and selling cars and had a wide range of makes and models from the 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s and up. I owned a classic 1963 Lincoln and a 1961 Dodge Dart, a 1973 Fleetwood Brougham, 1976 New Yorker, and Many many full sized Lincolns and panther platform cars. Many Full sized early 80’s GM cars including another full sized Caddy. I never ever was in a car that made me sea sick even when someone else was doing the driving. I find todays cars seem to all ride the same. Except for Real sports cars and some EV’s. Some are more quiet than others. I didn’t have the best IRON Stomach when it came to amusement park rides but never in a car even if I was already sick.
Top 5 comment I liked this Hyundai Ioniq6 when I first saw it, more than the Ioniq5. Admittedly not as an "iconic" shape as the Ioniq5. And its looks are divisive, reminds me of a modern-day take of the old Hyundai Tiburon. For me the most impressive EV Hyundai thus far. I believe there are 2 ways us car enthusiasts view the new Ioniq6 "streamliner". Its similarities to older German sports cars, stealing design queue's. Or it has a totally unique styling look, that's unmistakable, in this day and age of SUV bricks.
If the focus is on maximum aerodynamic efficiency, the designers are very limited in how to shape the car. I've seen an interview with one of the engineers associated with this car and both spoilers contribute to the drag coefficient. You can argue about some of the minor details at the back, but the whole thing is 90% about aero. This would be wrecked if they attempted a wagon version, much as I love wagons! If I had the money, I'd buy the base model in an instant.
I think “wrecked” is putting it way too highly. The I6 has a 20% better efficiency claim than the blocky (yet reasonably economical) I5. A smoothly-styled wagon or shooting brake would land somewhere in between.
@@chasingcars Point taken. I was still in the "least possible drag coefficient " mind-set. As an old retired engineer myself, I tend to focus more on ingenious solutions to making the most of EVs limited energy reserves. I'll be very interested in your real-world test of the I6 range versus the I5.
It’s fun being Canberran recognising all your driving locations. Cotter area is pretty nice to drive huh ;) Also I don’t understand why these EVs are so expensive. I have a RWD Tesla Model 3 and on the surface, the Model 3 looks to be better where it counts for me. Yet these Hyundai models are more expensive. I’d be interested to try one some day to see if I’m wrong, but a lot of the tech looks a bit messy and cluttered by comparison.
It's a missed opportunity, like the Model 3. They could have given it a boot instead of a letterbox without even changing the exterior design. If it had a rear hatch it would be great. Well, let's hope they come up with an estate, that would be even better.
If the 3 had a hatchback opening I'd have bought one. I took one look at the tiny aperture and said "no thanks". And the Y is just that little bit too expensive to get EV incentive rebate in my state. Shame, because the Y is cavernous in terms of storage.
@@Mububban23 In my country we don't get incentives to buy EVs, which I think is good. The govt. shouldn't spend taxpayer money on people who can afford a new car, while there are people who pay taxes and can barely get by. Even so, I bought my first Tesla 10 years ago and the EV market share is close to 30%. Anyway, I got a new Ioniq 5 this winter and not a Model Y, because it is so much more comfortable and it's also a little shorter in length, which is helpful in our narrow medieval towns. I have to say though, the Ioniq 5 is readily available here, had I had to wait for months on end, I might still have chosen a Model Y.
It used to be that sedans were the family default, and SUVs (or, as we knew them, 4wds), utes and coupes were the specialised vehicles. It's now turning around - SUVs and utes are the family default, and sedans are effectively the specialised (sporting) car.
IMO, SUV's are more comfortable for most human body types, and easier to enter/exit due to increased height. The panoramic view they offer is also a plus.
Visually "challenging", "interesting" and "acquired taste" - I've never heard so many gentle ways of saying "it clearly reversed into the ugly tree during developement" 😂
18:20 did your video car just broke the road law by changing lane and staying on the opposite traffic lane to shoot video? Thats aside this is a sexy car, but its a hit expensive
Once you have your vehicle registered to your account in blue link you can unlock/lock and start it with different profiles you set up. The app is appallingly slow though. I always make fun of it saying I need to hit start and then brew a cup of tea to hope that it actually starts my car (I have a PHEV Hyundai, but it's a common complaint of the app).
@@Snerdles sorry I understand that. What I'm trying to point out is, can I do those things with this specific car now, given the QR code was shown in the video. i.e. should they have blurred or blocked this out?
@@HuyTranimal Oh, I see what you are saying. I can't find anywhere in the blue link app to add a vehicle to my account. I think that has to be registered through Hyundai.
@David Williams hopefully the bluelink version of the app is better than the autolink version which was completely underdone and Australian specific. Still very handy though for pre heating or cooling our EV
Could I respectfully ask that our convict island representatives display the economy figures in both kilometres and miles please? Some of us law abiding folk don't immediately relate to km. Thanks👍
Amazing design it is probably the most beautiful car on ev market. Interior has some cheap materials unfortunately. Wired Android Auto and car Play :-( Also despite of 4 camera no record mode.
Value is subjective. Tesla 3 misses features that are standard in cars costing a lot less. I’m considering both cars but I’m leaning towards the Ioniq. Both great cars imo.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the shape but it is an interesting car. It may put sedans back into the game sales wise. The styling is an aquired taste, particularly the rear where the designers didn't know when to put the pencil down. The interior is crisp and very modern.
Pretty soon you'll need a pilot's licence just to drive a mere car around. Imagine the simple task of moving your sisters EV onto the street in order to get your own car out if she's parked you in. If you're not familiar with it, you won't have a bloody clue what to do!
Unfortunatly, it looks as ugly as sin ( just my opinion and my sons, sorry ) But i'm thinking that a lot of people might think the same way and choose a more car like design!
The thing that matters for EV is the battery management and the way the motors configutations are set up to drive. Nobody comes near to Tesla in the battery management. It will be good to see the tech difference along with the aesthetic reviews.
As much as I hate SUV and thought ioniq 6 was the one to look for. Unfortunately, Kia's own ioniq 5 is a better buy in all things apart from range. Also, usually, the sedan is meant to be cheaper than SUV...
I am VERY HAPPY to see TOM being the journalist here. I really have gotten use to listening to Tom and like his clarity and sense of humor. 😊
I like the styling, it has a hint of 1970's Porsche 911

Great review, got the Dynamiq on pre-order so I'm glad that thats not a bad thing haha.
Keen on the efficiency testing
I liked the Dynamiq!

Great color for a very nice design.
A very good mixture of spacey interior and efficiency.
I love it.

I like the design...if you know your car history it draws a tad from the french cars of the 1930s with their 'aero' art deco models
can't say it looks sexy but very interesting and eye catching classical design. Thumbs up to Hyundai once again!
How about including some night driving to evaluate the performance of lights?
I agree, it’s one of the key considerations I make when deciding on a vehicle but it’s also one of the most difficult things to check
thank goodness you addressed that in the big scheme of things - do we really need complain about these small things
“A…U!” That’s a very familiar rear end! 🤔💭 The car mate.🤪🤣

Do you think Genesis will come out with their version of the Ioniq 6 like that did witht he GV60 : Ioniq 5?
19:12 does it beep even on the lowest trim of the car ?
or all trim has speed limit reader ?
It beeps on every model. You can turn it off. But you have to turn it off every time you come back to the car.
@@chasingcars that's not good huge down side for me
thanks
@@chasingcars You don't have to come back. You can drive it from the outside. Ha,ha.
한국 사람이지만 이처럼 못생긴 차는 드물다 생각한다. 나는 주차장에 아이오닉6 와 포르쉐가 나란히 있는걸 보았을때 못생긴 짝퉁이라는 생각이 들었다.
Just put the electric bits in the soon to be released updated Sonata, and you have a winner!

Sort of.

For a bit more I'll get Kia EV6 GT... more practical, seats better and kills the 6 on performance... and the rear looks way better
the front boot should house a spare wheel
This version of Albury looks suspiciously like western suburbs of Canberra...
HYUNDAI MAKE A WAGON/ESTATE VERSION OF THIS
Agree
Might even fix that rear end
Amazing design it is probably the most beautiful car on ev market. Interior has some cheap materials unfortunately. Wired Android Auto and car Play :-( Also despite of 4 camera no record mode.

Nothing beats tesla in prices and value. Fed and state tax credits give 9500 price advantage in California. Ioniq cannot compete.

front like Porsche, back like Mercedes CLA
That's pretty sad about the key thing. I have it set up on my US car in apple wallet and google pay.
The look is not that enticing
Just my opinion
Love its interior, hate its exterior.
this looks like the General Motors EV1
Unfortunatly, it looks as ugly as sin ( just my opinion and my sons, sorry )
But i'm thinking that a lot of people might think the same way and choose a more car like design!
what a pity there is no spare wheel
needs different headlights
That back is trying too hard not to be a Porsche lol
Lots of first world problems with this car...Netflicks missing is an issue?
It looks a better than a Tesla and that's all it needed to acheive on that front. But both are far from beautiful.
Rather odd styling. They’ve copied a number of manufacturers, including my old Merc CLA Shooting Brake.
24 fps videos are the best!

they should have got the old nissan juke design for front end😂
Why does every reviewer rate a reclining seat as a positive luxury while you you wait far to long to charge. That’s not a plus!
Let's pronounce "Hyundai" more correctly!.....Hyundai should've been romanised as "Hyeondae" to be pronounced more close to the Korean phenetics.
My pronunciation gets it about right for English speakers.
