I have one and love it; I'm a 70 year old woman with a fairly aggressive driving style. Car is ultra comfortable. On the freeway you need to be careful about sppeding because 75 and 100 mph don't feel or sound different. The car is heavy and sturdy, corners well at speed since I frequently drive on windy country roads.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s so direct and positive on the windy roads but as you say, like with a lot of EVs, the speed can surprise you!

[@hardtry9220]

I also want to buy one. How about the ride quality compare with Model Y?

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

@@hardtry9220 I think both ride well, similar in terms of comfort whilst the Hyundai feels more sporty.

[@amspcut]

Ride quality is fantastic, likewise with the build quality. This is not another same old Tesla on the road. This is a terrific Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be recognized as a Damn fine EV!

[@tinalyons1655]

I love it. Super comfy and very quiet. Responsive and full of all technology 😊❤

[@qrlee6762]

Thank you for the review. I also drove it over 1,000 miles. I got 9.3 km/kW or 5.77 miles. It performed well: acceleration, cornering, and suspension. Autonomous driving is better than 2022 Ioniq 5.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s a lovely thing 👍

[@KingTechHD]

I’ve had mine for 2 months and I love it. My 1st EV, Hyundai, & new car. The 20” rims loses range but I love the look over the 18”. Drives great. Free DC charging for 2 yrs too. AWD is FAST

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks for sharing!

[@TomShorrock]

Missing this car already Jimbo! When we next road tripping? 💪🏻

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Same here pal. Route 66 on e-bikes next!

[@AnjaT890]

Thanks for this great review! I can pick up my new Ioniq 6 next Saturday. During my test drive in this awesome Ioniq 6 I was immediately sold. I have missed the wonderful feeling while driving this car lately (I had a Tuscon PHEV N-Line). The feeling of being one with your car... Me and my Ioniq 😍 I live in the Netherlands and luckily we have quite a lot of fast chargers, if necessary😉

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Great choice, special car! Enjoy it!

[@svengaefgen5909]

Congratulation, which version and color did you buy?

[@AnjaT890]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Thank you! I'm very excited for tomorrow. To be honest, I had tears in my eyes with happiness during the test drive 🥲

[@AnjaT890]

@@svengaefgen5909 Thanks! I bought the dark grey Connect 77,4 kWh RWD with the 20" tires.

[@bentaxelrod]

I’m getting that mileage at 100kph in Australia at around 20 deg c. It’s around 0 to 13 deg atm. Makes a few percent difference. My only disappointment is when I have to stop driving it. It’s better than I expected.

[@Jam1s]

Great video. Happy with all your insights. Much appreciated, this car now on my list of maybes

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s a lovely thing

[@galahadskeys]

I've already ordered mine and seeing this video has really got me extra excited now. Thanks for the informative review.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@DavidBoreham-kk9dx]

Hi Jim loved the review its great to see someone do an unbiased test also the advice about leasing the car has you don't end up tying up your hard earned cash on deprecating assets thanks again also loved both halves of the road trip film

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks very much David 👍👍👍

[@Number1HeadlightRestoration]

Great review, Jim. Thanks for making it. I reeeeeally like these things!!! Very late to the party having only just today seen one for the first time with it triggering my radar based on those rear end looks. I'd love to drive one, one day. Thanks again for a great video 👍🏼

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks Mark, it’s a lovely thing.

[@amspcut]

I picked up my Ioniq 6 Limited May 1st. It was first one dellivered by dealer in Utah. I'm letting my wife drive our 2022 BMW X3 m40i!!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Nice!!! 👍👍

[@carlchadwick7109]

Great review. Thanks

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks for watching!

[@aussieideasman8498]

Just found this video, which surprised me when I saw 'world COTY 2023' because only yesterday I watched an Electric Viking video saying it was now discounted by up to $12,000 here in Aus.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Oh really? Maybe not a car for the Aussie market? It’s a brilliant piece of kit in my opinion.

[@aussieideasman8498]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru I agree, and if I hadn't bought an Atto3 a few months back, I would have jumped at the twin motor model. The fact that a COTY can be so heavily discounted blows me away, and the fact it's an EV even more so. I paid full price for the BYD, as does everyone as far as I can tell. I'm looking forward to when the BYD is ready for trade, but a few years at least.

[@bonkoo5953]

it will be my next car. thank you for sharing your review

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

I hope it helped 👍 check out our European road trip videos too, plenty of footage and chat about the car there.

[@petesig93]

I really LOVE the design and styling. Will be buying one very soon.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Gorgeous thing, especially in that colour IMHO

[@petesig93]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru I will probably be going for the red, because red's got to be faster, isn't it ??

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

100% 😂

[@andrewmowat8485]

I love my ID4 for its practicality and low lease cost, but the Ioniq 6 is the one I'd really love for my next car.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍👍👍

[@themav7232]

I've seen one in the flesh for the first time two days ago and i was impressed, not so much though with the 50 + year old woman driving it,she was so close to the steering wheel she was struggling to drive it!!! Not a good advertisement for the car 😂

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

😁😁

[@leegorman8322]

Hello Jim, sorry to trouble you. I just get the impression with EV's we're not quite there, yet? I'm sure Hyundai's a sterling effort but [it's early days] there's a long way to go 🙄

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

I think ten minutes in this might convince you otherwise. I like great cars, I’m personally not an EV fanatic at all but this is a GREAT car that just happens to be electric 👍

[@Brian-om2hh]

But even "not quite there yet" has to begin somewhere, and the fact is we're basically 10 years into mass market electric cars. Even 5 years from now, things will be *very* different.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thanks Jim

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thank you

[@Pablo-tw7tt]

Another great video. 55k!! That was an S Class Merc a few years ago 😂😂

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yes it was! They start at about £90k for base trim now 😂😂

[@kevinweastwood]

Love it, wish it was hatch though.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Yeah, shame really; a shooting brake version would be epic.

[@VintageLynx]

Looks a high tech car, but I wonder who its aimed at? Its nice to dream but at that price I (and everyone I know) just cant plump down that sort of cash.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

I’d say it’s aimed at the executive market, it’s similar money to a 5 series.

[@Tim_Small]

In other markets (including the rest of Europe I think), they go a cheaper version with a smaller battery pack. Hyundai decided not to offer that in the UK tho' (at least not yet).

[@munirshafi2647]

You can pick up a one year old used 1st edition demo for £30k now...which is astounding value !

[@mikadavies660]

I see this as a very interesting car. Decent efficiency, reasonable power. I would obviously look at it vs Tesla Model 3 Performance at £57,000. Whilst I prefer the looks of the Hyundai and dislike the looks of the Tesla... I would still choose the Tesla. As I am not convinced that the battery technology that Hyundai are using has a longer life than the Tesla.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Fair enough, the charging capability of this car is astounding but how it ages is yet to be seen 👍

[@mikadavies660]

@@DefinitelyNotAGuru I have followed closely the EV models and I appreciate the charging speed of the Hyundai is class leading. My concern is their LG Chem battery pack? Assuming I have my facts right.... The Kona has had a number of battery fails and issues. If I was leasing the car, I am sure I would go for the Hyundai. But buying and owning a car..... I would go to Tesla. Having said that.... I believe the current climate of fast changing EVs, means that leasing is safest.

[@mauriceslaney1136]

Cracking review Jim, many thanks! I think it's a lovely car, inside and out and the charging capability on your trip was very impressive. It's much too large for my needs, which is fortunate, because I can't afford one!

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

@@mauriceslaney1136 haha, same here!

[@doo-goo]

In Korea, many people use taxis, so you don't have to worry about batteries.

[@patricaomas8750]

I'm getting a whiff of Citroen DS I like it👌

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

amazing car and I miss it dearly

[@BigOrangeSnowman88]

It’s great looking and I’m going to buy one later this year, but best EV is a stretch. I would take a Porsche Taycan over it but it’s out of my budget.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

It’s the best all-round EV I’ve driven, and I’ve driven both. In my opinion of course; but would I rather have a £120k car over a £55k car, probably yes.

[@johnknight9150]

I've always loved this car, but it's just too expensive, whatever the trim level. I don't want to say the "T word", but it's a big argument against.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

👍

[@MAGApepe]

nice :))

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Thanks 😁

[@klackon1]

I think it looks like a pig in knickers in videos: but, I walked past one in my local Hyundai dealership a couple of days ago, and it looked slightly better from a distance of a couple of metres.
