I 'crashed' the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 😐

Introducing the all-new Hyundai Ioniq 6!
It’s the follow-up to the impressive Ioniq 5, and Mat’s about to find out if the 6 has what it takes to match the popularity of its predecessor!
Starting with the design, you clearly won’t be mistaking either car for the other. The Ioniq 6 has a sleek, swooping body design, coupled with dual spoilers at the back. It comes with a pixelated light design similar to the 5, although it also has a bit of a strange rear bumper design. The sleek looks continue around the front, and all-in-all it’s pretty smart! It even comes with vents which remain closed when the car’s driving at slow speeds.
On the inside the design is pretty similar to the Ioniq 5 - but that’s not a bad thing! There are good quality materials across the dash, and a large infotainment & digital dial dual screen mounted to the middle of it. A centre console has been added to the 6, which comes with a good amount of storage and a couple of physical buttons.
There’s only one battery available, a 77kWh pack which is supposedly good for 338 miles of range. There will be two versions of the Ioniq 6 available - a rear-wheel drive edition that produces 228hp, or a four-wheel drive edition that can put down 325hp.
The price of the Ioniq 6 is pretty similar to the 5, starting from £47,000. But is it the stand-out EV to buy in 2023? Or should you choose something like a Model 3 or EV6 instead? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

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.

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 ioniq 5 just launched in India🔥

[@Tingtong-gg5oe]

Sharukh khan came in event to launch

[@Winnister]

I really do love this car! Very very tempted to test drive one, would go well with my solar panels

[@oscar7476]

I think a porsche 911 married a Mercedes CLA but Tesla Model 3 joined in.

[@purwantiallan5089]

Ioniq 6 still a 6/10.

[@kazekai8]

Would be interesting to see how the ioniq 6 N will perform

[@Jonb615]

Excited for the hydrogen version of this

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.

I can't get the image of an 1989 Vauxhall Nova out of my head with ioniq5

[@leesmith9299]

i had that problem the first time i used a sat nav. for the first 5 minutes i barely looked at the road and nearly crashed.

This highlights how dangerous it's going to become with drivers distracted by all the screens.

[@michalsvihla1403]

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.

[@Miniek80]

Just look around, drivers get distracted by everything

[@DowncastParadox]

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!

[@michalsvihla1403]

@@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.

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.

[@IIIusion1]

Does this car have in-built dash cameras recording feature? I am unable to find any mentions of that. Thank you

[@alexlock6841]

Will you do a range test with the Ioniq 5 and various other EVs?

[@jonkf7548]

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.

[@vladislavdimitrov4646]

They have genesis for that

[@TheEchelon]

Because it's still a Hyundai. I don't see it as a luxury car, not very sporty.

[@MaticTheProto]

Because it’s the future of the brand

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

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?

[@Lib654]

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

[@holeefok3158]

The new Prius, looks way better.

[@oscar7476]

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.

[@leesmith3043]

Why do you always mention the bloody specialist timing gear? Every bloody video Matt!

Haha as Sir Jeremy would have said - it looks like it reversed into a Halfords shop window and got a bunch of bits stuck to its bottom

I have one name for the rear: *INFINITI J30* And I’ve always found that car absolutely BEAUTIFUL, mainly at the rear.
