These numbers are great! In my 2021 Model 3 LR I get about 320ish miles of range on the highway, and 345 when driving around town. This new Model 3 could potentially get well into the 400s around town. Insane.

Two great cars. I have an Ioniq 6 SE AWD and it's an awesome highway cruiser, so comfortable, quiet and POWERFUL. Lot's of mountains and short passing sections where I live but I no longer fear the hills or the semis . . . . boom, gone in my rear view mirror. Great in winter too! The 2026 Ioniq 6 will be refreshed with the new battery and the RWD should get a hair under 400 miles EPA. EV's are just getting better and better.

[@johnwheat1542]

I currently lease a 2024 Ioniq 6 SE RWD, and the 332 mile range at 70mph Kyle reported here is very consistent with the range tests I have done on my own car. As always, everybody just needs to keep in mind that range tests are a very inexact science in general since speed. temperature, head/tail wind, highway incline up/down and other factors such as the phase of the moon 😊 all effect your actual range. My problem is that the more range I get, the more I want. I’ll be ready for an affordable 500 mile range option after this lease is up!! Great and thorough report as always. Thanks!

[@johnwheat1542]

Quick addition: Everything Kyle said about the Ioniq 6 is correct - both pro and con - but it is worth highlighting that this thing is an absolute road trip beast! You get over 300 miles of range plus fast charging is very noticeably better than anything else I have ever driven before - including lots of miles on Model 3’s and Model Y’s. When I hook up to a 350 kW fast charger that is working up to spec, I’ve got a full charge faster than I can walk across the street and get a sandwich at Subway (true story).

[@wesbishop3790]

My wife drives the Ioniq 6 RWD and I have the Ioniq 5. My wife gets complimented far more than I do in her black/silver trim 6 but I get my fair share as well. It's funny that most pro Tesla folks don't like the looks of the Ioniq 6. I wonder why? LOL

Thanks for this video. I have the Ioniq 6 SEL AWD with the 20" wheels. My Tesla friends love their tech but they prefer the ride and build quality of my Ioniq. The whole range anxiety thing is unnecessary 95% of the time. A small percentage of people actually make long trips beyond a few hundred miles. I just read that 99.2% of daily trips were less than 100 miles. In the end, I think it's best for 95+% to buy an EV you like, can afford, enjoy looking at, and worry less about long distance range.

The EGMP platform vehicles have amazing charging speed (if you can find the right charger) for people that are in a REAL hurry (and are able to get their toilet stops done in time - forget about having time to get a coffee or some food!).

Range on Model 3 is excellent in the past as you have said Tesla would under deliver and German cars would over deliver. Nice turn around for Tesla. Still with faster charging of Ioniq 6 it will likely be better car on your 10% challenge almost making longer range on Model 3 LR RWD a moot point (other than round trip back home or long trip to 2nd home/ hotel with Level 2 charging to avoid high cost of L3 charging/ driving off your route).

[@EcoTripQC]

In my I6 AWD (CDN Ultimate trim) on a highway loop run of 174 km / 109 miles, with a stop for lunch, I got efficiency (3.9 mi/kWh or 15.9 kWh/100km) that translates to around 303 miles (485 km) of range (77.4 kWh/hr battery), on the 20-inch wheels, in ECO mode, at an average speed of 58 mph (93 km/hr), a temperature of 81F (27C), HDA mostly on-otherwise auto regen 2 or 3, climate set to 68F/20C-Auto 1 climate setting-driver only (no passenger). My I6 is very smooth and comfortable on the highways, and quick to charge, as noted. After 13,000 km (~8000 miles), I am very happy with it, although I will eventually switch the 20-inch wheels for 19-inch to pick up some more range. I really appreciate this video.

As a Tesla AND a Hyundai owner, i enjoy Tesla's UI and screen over the "old" way of instrumentation clusters and center stacks. I'm not much of a fiddler, so i don't need to change settings like some folks swear they need to. The voice commands handle just about everything i need (Hyundai has many of the same voice features). When it comes to the two cars in question, the Tesla is a better car. I test drove the Ioniq 6, and the UI isn't up to par. It's not a bad car, but unless you are getting a good lease deal, there's no real world advantage to the Ioniq 6 to the M3 as a daily.

[@USUG0]

[@Cyrribrae]

Is charge speed faster on EGMP cars?

[@WJYK]

Agree. I have an EV6 and 2024 Model 3. Model 3 is better in most ways and extremely efficient. Better powertrain. Better software. Its simply just a better vehicle. The only advantage my EV6 has is that it has more room and charges better (but not really when you have to use EA).

[@l10industries]

Having tested both the Model 3 highland and owning the Ioniq 6 Limited AWD, they're definitely a couple of differences that made me choose the Hyundai. First, the Hyundai is a larger vehicle on the inside especially. The Model 3 is a compact sedan whereas the Ioniq 6 is a mid-size. The interior fit and finish of the Hyundai was also significantly better. The Model 3 in the showroom looks like it had a seat stitched together by a blind monkey. Third, the Ioniq 6 is MUCH quieter on the inside, especially once you pull the noise maker fuse... Fourth, you get turn signal stalks. Trying to find where the turn signals went on the Model 3 in the middle of a turn is absolutely obnoxious. It is a completely unnecessary cost reduction. Then of course is the charging. There's absolutely no reason why any new cars should be built on anything lower than an 800 volt architecture in 2024. E-GMP is so far ahead of anything in its price class. Last, when I was looking at the two the price was relatively comparable. The Ioniq 6 was around $11,000 and some change off.

Thanks for the video! Great to get this kind of real life information. I will say, however, that I think it would be worth noting on the outside of the vehicles that you're in the middle of testing, as it could potentially give others on the road the wrong idea and turn them off of EVs. I could just hear someone seeing these cars stranded on the side of the road and thinking, "this is why i would never buy an EV" 😅 It could also spark some interest when they see a testing sign, if they're curious of the testing and/or results. Also, for the video format, I would prefer not hearing the final numbers until the end so that I can know it as im watching, as it felt like a bit of a spoiler - I'd recommend giving viewers the option to jump to a timeatamp at the end where they can see the results instead.

@@franklong6269 do you have a toddler in the back seat? With an old school rear view you can literally see both the back seat and out the rear windshield at the same time. It’s just a convenience feature that solves a nonexistent problem.

[@franklong6269]

@MoreOnEVs Wow, I not sure how you can even say that. You are just ignorant about the purpose of self-dimming mirrors. The Tesla Model 3 mirrors work just like any other mirrors. The difference is that they dim headlight glare during nighttime driving significantly. So they absolutely DO solve a very significant problem. As far as dealing with toddlers, you can use the Model 3 mirrors exactly like non-dimming mirrors both in the day and in the night. In fact, at night you would have better vision of the back seat area with Tesla's self-dimming mirrors than regular mirrors. I'm not sure how you don't understand that. Regular non-dimning mirrors used at night will blind you with headlight glare. Tesla's mirrors shield your eyes from that glare and help you to see far better than with regular mirrors. Tesla's self-dimming mirrors are by far the best mirrors I have ever used in any car I have driven, it's not even close.

@@franklong6269 okay I don’t mean to trigger you about your superior Tesla mirror. I have a 2024 Model Y long range and I’m a diehard TSLA stock fan. That said, the flippy mirror in my 2019 e-Golf is better for anyone who wants to see what’s happening in the back seat. It’s pretty simple. You adjust the mirror to see out the back windshield and then flip the lever down. Once you do that you can see clearly what’s happening in the back seat AND AT THE SAME TIME see a dimmed version of the road behind. Mirrors have always dimmed the headlights behind you, it was just a matter of flipping the little lever. I don’t understand why we needed to get rid of that little lever, it’s not that inconvenient. In my model Y I need to adjust the mirror to see my daughter, making it impossible to see out the back windshield. Tesla has the best ownership experience of any vehicle I’ve had, but this is one convenience feature that I find inconvenient.

[@franklong6269]

@MoreOnEVs Dude, you're irrational. It's not the dimming function you are complaining about it's the mirror itself. If you don't like Tesla mirrors go buy some old piece of just with the manual dimming mirrors. Geez!

[@herewegoagain7403]

any videos on 2024 Tesla M3P range test? Looking into buying one

[@user-number-the-one]

you need to test lucid air pure

[@GuiGabois]

That starts at $75k...twice the price of the Model 3!

[@Cyrribrae]

​@@GuiGaboisok. They range tested the $100k trucks too lol. They didn't say do a side by side. They just said to test it.

Hyundai and Kia I think are great innovators, but I feel they could work on getting their cars lighter. LIke a Model 3 Performance is quite a bit lighter than a performance car from Hyundai/Kia. So maybe they in the future can work on removing mass from the cars. They are quite good at afficciency already, so should be doable with clever engineering I think.

[@alexa795]

Just imagine how much advanced car Koreans have build “long” time ago when even brand new Tesla model 3 LR RW have similar range numbers. Those Asia people are really amazing. It’s not strange that KIA/Hyundai have nice sell results on entire world el car market. Good job 👍🏻👏🏻

[@JorJorBinks123]

Weird what am I doing differently when I have the same spec Model 3 as this and at 70mph I get 200wh/mi...

[@billlyl3725]

We need an OOS paint channel where we can watch 3 hour videos of paint drying. Just an idea 💡 😊

[@johnnyv5995]

Impressive numbers, I would go for Tesla but not a fan of Elon, so Hyundai for the win! Another great review Gentlemen - thank you.

[@MugatuJag]

Especially these days, I used to somewhat admire Elon or rather appreciate his contribution. Both great cars.

[@sprockkets]

It's not even the fact about his politics - he basically is the reason why tesla skimps on so much stuff in their cars. No reason why they can't put for releases in the back in case of emergencies.

[@grandmaster1984]

so buy an inferior vehicle because someone has a different opinion than you? lmao what a loser

[@moorebid_]

28:10 "Well, you'll also have to forgive me - for the first minute here of the test, I had my cooled seat on. Range test RUINED!" That and the crack in the windshield of the Ioniq 6… all that extra resistance! 😩

[@ronald4life1]

Really appreciate you putting up the numbers in the front end. I let the video run at 2x ;)

[@esprit1st75]

Just FYI, the Ioniq 6 will also update OTA! Depending on the model year it might only update the entertainment system OTA, but the newest ones are supposed to update more OTA.

[@807800]

I think you have said this before, it would be interesting to see the efficiency of Tesla EV when their main focus is on the efficiency, rather than on performance. So, rather than compete with BWM M3, it would be the Prius.

[@franklong6269]

@807800 Not really. It goes 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and handles as well as an BMW M3, and it costs about 1/3 of what anBMW M3 costs.

[@parag2804]

Could you also upload a shorter, like a 10-20 minute version of these longer videos? Not everyone has time for a 1.5-hour video. A quick highlights version would be awesome for viewers like us and probably get you more views too since many of us would consider skipping such videos because of time! Thanks for considering!

[@rrbasch]

On the Ioniq 6 regen should be set to Auto when on highways not on 3 , also climate will use up to 5-7% ,depending on load I have a SEL AWD and I do 323 on highways

[@chickenp7038]

tesla was using climate aswell it’s just the better car

[@EcoTripQC]

@rrbasch, Could please share your approximate average speed when you are highway driving? And the rough temperature range. Also which wheel-set does your SEL AWD have? What are your climate settings and drive mode? Thank you!
