Awesome video keep up the great work, looks like Tesla has some rivalry going on

[@attlas3]

I've had my 2023 and it's been an excellent vehicle, have taken it on long distance road trips and it does really great with range, I went with a RWD SEL for more range for me personally, driven it in the snow and icy mountain passes with no issues, easily recommend this over a Model 3

[@KingTechHD]

Got the 2024 Ioniq 6 SEL AWD and love it. It’s a great drive, fast charge, the style grew on me (my wife loved in day 1), great interior, 20” rims. I love it’s different than everything else on the road

[@jefflass699]

Ditto here. Great car, especially for the price right now.

[@krishaynes8130]

I pick my red ultimate 6 up next week and I’m soooo excited !! 🎉

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Love the styling & the red color as I would easily pick this over a Model 3 since I see those cars literally every few seconds especially here in SoCal. I sat in a Ioniq 6 at the LA auto show last year & was impressed with it, with plenty of room up front & in back, much more than my current 2016 Lexus GS350 F-Sport which is a slightly bigger car. This has been my favorite EV so far & would buy one if I bought an EV right now, maybe in the future, but want a hybrid first.

[@anjuma31]

I bought the Hyundai Kona N Line S hybrid. I wasn't ready for an EV yet!

[@himster22]

The design of the new model 3 Highland it’s much much nicer. Plus Tesla’s charging network is reliable and simple to use. I would much rather drive a Tesla.

[@tonishawilliams1186]

Just purchased the 2024 Ionic 6 (for me) and a 2024 Ionic 5 (for my husband). We LOVE this vehicle. Have absolutely NO issues. Would definitely recommend this vehicle over the tesla model 3.

[@djplonghead5403]

They should buy Lucid and brand it into Genesis. Their packaging is so very impressive. Lowest drag coefficient, good looks, massive frunk, class leading trunk, large interior, massive range, etc. Everything genesis could have! Amazing.

[@brokeboy87]

I am still disappointed that this isn't a liftback. I'm still convinced the Ioniq 5 is the better buy over this for an overall package.

Yea, if it had the lift back, it would of been the perfect car both style and practically.

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Love your car video

[@mattdude]

This might sound dumb but I actually considered getting one of these but the fact that it still uses the old infotainment system is a deal breaker for me. They give it to the Kona but not the ioniq? What’s that about?

[@cbotten106]

EVs are not a priority for Hyundai. Not dumb at all. The question, not Hyundai leaving the ball on the ground.

[@cgamiga]

THIS. I looked at one w/ brand new owner at a show, and... it took EIGHTEEN button presses to try and navigate a trip, and it still didn't auto add chargers correctly... I think he didn't have "connected navigation" set up correctly, but.. why? Shouldn't that be enabled by default, if so critical?? Even on another video I checked later, w/ easier voice navigation that did add charge stops ok,.. the UI was still horribly outdated, very clunk automotive GPS style. Not Google Maps on full screen like Tesla. Was exactly same as ICE Santa Fe we rented on a road trip... ugh

[@jwbrandt70]

Guys, this video meant a lot to me because it was back giving an objective and positive view of Hyundai after your experience with the Santa Fe. I believe that someday Hyundai too will have to give up on the DCT transmission as it's obviously a very tough implementation to master and not really their specialty. But you guys had a lot of good things to say about Hyundai here which was cool. I ended up buying a used Pacifica hybrid and am very pleased. More research after commenting in a video back a ways led me to better understand some the things that have gone wrong but also the great fixes Chyrsler has implemented to help; and the actual HV battery is much more reliable than I thought. Keep up the great work guys! 🙂

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much!

I’m surprised that in America you don’t get head up display and tinted rear windows

No tinted windows on sedans. I think.

[@bafattvahetere]

Here in "the old world" you can have tinted windows (back) AND Head Up Display. Depends on which model you chose.

[@mic98ws6]

Nice review! You guys didn’t go over where the charge port is, and if it’s motorized or not?

[@svengaefgen5909]

The charge port is on the right back, and it is motorized.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! ^^ that is correct ^^

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Yes of course & I think I consider buying this.

[@LoveStallion]

I like a frunk, but on the flipside, the Hyundai/Kia vehicles have really short front ends instead of more traditional hoods. You get more usable car, especially interior space, as a trade-off.

[@1973Hog]

Not to mention the design is extremely aerodynamic.

[@jonmckee6482]

Just to say that in the UK, the top spec version does have the Relaxation seat facility and Heads up display

[@1973Hog]

0:50 I have no idea why you cannot fit the charger in the Frunk. I have an Ioniq 6 and I keep the charger in the Frunk.

[@bafattvahetere]

Not an an AWD, then?

[@jorsm.3893]

Did I understand correctly that you said you cannot get heated rear seats on this model ? Because as far as I see on the website, the "balance" kit includes heated rear seats.

[@CarConfections]

In the U.S, some features might be different

[@Erdie5]

I feel like cars are being designed by tech-focused apartment dwellers that don't own personal vehicles. As a tall guy, that windowsill is my armrest. Hard plastic? Come on. Even the cheapest economy cars have soft touch there now. And the heated seats, requiring a button on the dash then repeated presses on the touch screen to get to max? This requires 1 button in virtually every other car. Who gives a hoot about RGB lighting when they can't even make a car that's enjoyable to use. Hyundai is usually ahead of the curve on driver convenience and comfort. This is a massive step back for them. But thank goodness that awful drive noise is optional. That is horrific. What on Earth were they thinking??

[@bafattvahetere]

Windowsills in soft leather? Come on.

[@Liligie239]

I’ve had my Ioniq 6 for 7 days and wow

[@bafattvahetere]

That's short.

[@verynick]

I would have considered this if it had a hatch. Ended up getting an i4!

[@paulalappat7744]

what kind of range can you get when you drive a long-range rear-wheel drive Ioniq 6 at 80mph?

[@blackgold754]

At 70 mph, you go 291 miles so at 80 mph, you might get 271 miles

[@rachelkarengreen99]

Is this car still more comfortable/quieter? than the Highland Model 3?

[@nofx77j3]

Wish they would make a minivan already!

[@cbotten106]

To busy making swoopy 911-esque sedans to worry about that.

Capacitive touch buttons are one of the worst ideas for a car. You might as well just leave the controls on the screen.

@@brokeboy87true but also electrify American doesn’t have much reliable charger either. Freakin Tesla supercharger are still reliable.

[@cgamiga]

You need to take a MUCH deeper/longer look at the UI technology, eg infotainment and GPS/navigation/maps onscreen... the motor/battery tech etc in Hyundai/Kia are right up there w/ the best, but... the MAPS,... stink. They are horribly clunky, tiny screens, way too many dumb multiple confirmation button presses before you do anything, text-heavy w/ wasted screen space.. and only last year, did they even add automatic charger stop planning in the nav trip planner!! You had to use your phone apps!! eg, typical low-tech/old automotive GPS design. It is the SAME as their gas cars. Feels like 2000, not 2024. HORRIBLE. THAT, is NOT better to live with than Tesla. NOBODY beats Tesla's maps... *maybe* Waze, but that's it. Rivian is a close second (they are a few years behind rest of tech features too, but catching up.) Ford is... third? I haven't even tried VW or GM... roadtrip route & charge planning, or just finding nearest charger easily on a map, is *critically* important for EVs, and needs to be reviewed better. Software and UI doesn't get addressed much by reviewers, except to typically diss "too much touchscreen/no buttons, bad" (which has some truth, but when everything on that touchscreen is so frictionless and works in 1-3 button presses or by voice,..) Current EVs are computers on wheels. As such you need to review how good the computer UI is. They all drive pretty well, accelerate quickly and quietly...

Everyone I know who buys either a Ionic 5 or 6, said they would never go back to a Tesla. Said these Hyundai EV's are a far better built vehicle. So I looked into that and found some of the reviews say the same thing. Other than the Ionic 5 2:23 N, none of the others are my cup of tea. I'll stick with my ICE vehicles. Although Genesis did give me a GV60 loaner and it was weird, but it also was a super sweet lil EV SUV.
