Hyundai Ioniq 6, FULL feature review!

[@lynnclement646]

I bought an Ioniq 6 white Limited RWD, two weeks ago. I love it! It has everything I wanted. The range is rated 303 miles. When fully charged, it is 355 miles. I live in Florida and it is 90 + most days here in May. I usually put 21,000 to 23,000 miles per year on my car. No range anxiety here. I already have 1600 miles on my car. Have not charged anywhere except my home. Have a level 2 charger at home. Only charge fully once a week before my long trip. Rest of the week, I might charge a couple of hours once. No reviews yet mention that the background color on the screens can be changed from the white to black. The black is stunning. Also, the spoiler has solar that helps with accessories. This car is amazing and is smooth. Even on eco, the acceleration is soo fast!

[@edsgarage001]

Thanks for the comment!

[@amspcut]

I received the first Transmission Blue Limited Ioniq 6 delivered in Utah May 1st. I believe EPA is rated at approx. 280 miles with the 20" wheels. Quality of build and ride comfort is excellent. It truly is a beautiful vehicle! I'm torn between it and my wife's ride a 2022 BMW X3 m40i! Both are amazing vehicles!!

[@edsgarage001]

Agreed! Thx for the comment!

[@bafattvahetere]

Agree, even on ECO mode the acceleration is fast. When you go to the INDIVIDUAL mode, wow, you can have it even faster than SPORT mode. Will probably cost rubber. Btw, @edsgarage001 is Super.

[@edsgarage001]

Fyi, that's most definitely not a solar panel.

[@svengaefgen5909]

I own a First Edition Ioniq 6 in Galaxy gold, and I love it. The Ioniq 6 was introduced in Germany in November, and the first cars are hitting the road now.

[@edsgarage001]

Nice! Canada is always slow to receive new stock.

[@mrfightgreg]

Best Hi6 review I've seen and I've seen them all. Very detailed and informative. Where are you located? I was told the larger dealerships (Guelph for example) will get more IoniQ stock, is that true?

[@edsgarage001]

Hi, thanks for the comment, sorry for the delayed response. I'm at Bannister Hyundai in BC. Yes generally larger dealerships get more stock.... But we're talking 6 or 7 instead of 2 or 3. Stock on the ioniq 6 is EXTREMELY limited, more so then the ioniq 5

[@fsxflyer789Productions]

@Ed's Garage Based on my last conversation with Guelph Hyundai, they still have no clue about when their allocations are going to happen. When do you think dealers will start finding out about which cars they're getting? People getting deliveries in the US makes me jealous, lol

[@edsgarage001]

We've known for about a month now what we're getting. They're probably just keeping the info they have secret for now.

[@fsxflyer789Productions]

@@edsgarage001 Called them again, they keep saying they got no clue about allocations and they can't "order" the car which was weird to me as I thought these are just prebuilt and allocated randomly. I'm wondering if its different since you're in BC and they probably want to sell more there cuz of the mandates and rebates compared to Ontario which has neither

[@edsgarage001]

No we can't order them either... We just get however many Hyundai allocates. But we were able to "somewhat" choose which ones we are getting. They're telling you that so that maybe you'll buy something different. Every dealership in Canada has received it's allocation list by now.

[@lanceareadbhar]

Will there be a second driving review as I guess we just passed the embargo date?

[@edsgarage001]

Unfortunately no, I only had a very short time with the vehicle. As soon as we get a demo, I'll do a drive video.

[@lanceareadbhar]

​@@edsgarage001 Cool. Thanks for replying. I like this EV more and more every time I look at it. The base trim with the smaller tires seems to be the best bang for your buck assuming you can live without the features in the higher trims.

[@nathanwolf5547]

Mine arrived at the dealership here in Boston UK this morning. I’m picking it up 4th December. I just need to go choose me registration mark(it’s attached to the car in this country, not the owner)

When the cars were shown off in South Korea there was a really deep purple/plum color... Is that not available in the production cars?

[@edsgarage001]

Unfortunately not in Canada or the USA. But in Korea they get all the colors.

[@Snerdles]

@@edsgarage001 I hope they bring it for the Ioniq 6N. I loved the almost black look, but deep purple when the light hits it. You don't see that very often and it looks really nice.

[@edsgarage001]

I agree, it's the colour I wanted too

[@markusvesala6614]

I must say I’m impressed bye yours videos about the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Have seen some also when you try new tire and hauling a small trailer. Just got mine Hyundai Ioniq 6 Gravity Gold RWD 77,4 kW battery. So many things I still don’t know about and you help me a lot to get in on the cars system. Keep up the good work and greetings from Norway 👍

[@edsgarage001]

Cool! I'm glad to help! You live in a very forward thinking country 🙂

[@wowprogression]

I just got my Gravity gold matte limited edition and I love it. How many percent per hour estimate do you think when you charge it to a regular 110v wall outlet using level 1?

[@edsgarage001]

Level one is about 1.7% added per hour. Congrats!!

[@wowprogression]

@@edsgarage001Thanks! Goodluck on your long journey. I'm also thinking doing the same thing. :)

[@edsgarage001]

I highly recommend it!

[@karlin_oriley]

Wow. I've seen almost every review of the Iq6 on YT but here I learned very much on top. I'd say my knowledge was very good of the car but some Infos you've mentioned were new for me (fe the noise reduction measures). Thx man!

Is the v2L available in all trim modules in the USA? I’ve been getting conflicting reports.

I'm in Canada... But here it's not included with any trim. But yeah it does work with every trim level.

[@peopledemandingaction2928]

Only on Limited trim

[@lanceareadbhar]

I appreciate checking the head room as that's my only concern with this car. I have the Ioniq 5 and love it, but I don't really need the extra space that it gives and the extra range would be nice as I'd likely get the 18 inch RWD version assuming they are available at MSRP.

[@edsgarage001]

Thx for the comment! Check around at a few dealers. Some sell for MSRP

[@Rroll100]

Hi Ed, Do you have any tech information for the wheel lug? I put black 18" wheels for the winter tires and would like to change the chrome lugs to shiny black ones but need the thread size, inner diameter and standard length. Thanks

[@susangusinow784]

What number should I have it on for regenerative braking?

[@edsgarage001]

Whatever you prefer. It's really more about personal preference then anything else. When you hit the brake pedal, it also regenerates.

[@FidesVerum7602]

Yes, thanks for all the extra information. As Lutz stated below I have watched a whole lot of different reviews to gain as much information as possible and familiarise myself with the functions before my car is delivered...

[@edsgarage001]

No problem, thx for the comment!

[@garrydenny5405]

So ridiculous that the US model does not have HUD on the top trim (Limited).

[@edsgarage001]

There's some odd omissions on the Canadian model as well... I'll know more after April 11th

[@garrydenny5405]

@@edsgarage001 I test drove an Ioniq 6 RWD Limited last Friday and loved it. Then I spent way too much time trying to find how to turn on HUD only to realize not available in the US.

[@edsgarage001]

Yeah .. Hyundai is funny that way.

[@dgmcdnld]

Disappointing still has 12v reg car battery, start stop button. Can you use your phone as a key? The outside looks pretty cool, inside not bad. I have a 2020 Ioniq EV and we like it.

[@TCPUDPATM]

EVs will continue to have a low voltage system for safety. The high voltage system is disconnected when the car is parked.

[@Snerdles]

Think of the 12v system as a backup battery to control things like your door locks in an emergency.

[@edsgarage001]

As mentioned. 12v battery is required for safety systems after high voltage battery is cut off

[@dgmcdnld]

Sorry I meant to say still has lead acid battery; I think this can be approved.

[@edsgarage001]

*improved. Actually I can agree with that. The only thing is, a lithium battery with the same cca is about $700.... So hence the decision to use lead acid.

[@michaelvella8511]

Those accented stock handles and buttons makes it seem so much more lux.

[@edsgarage001]

I just spent the day learning more about it yesterday, and I can definitively say this is basically a luxury car.

[@bryanrosales9656]

I love the presentation of the hyundai ioniq 6 it reminds me of the porsche taycan with a hyundai badge did hyundai copy the porsche taycan design does the sunroof on the ioniq 6 open and tilted and how come that I didn't see the htrac badge or AWD badge like tucson kona and so on and does the AWD is still from magna international plus if I see the ioniq 6 I thought it's going to be RWD plus it confused for the public is it possible that the hyundai will put the htrac or AWD badge on the ioniq 6

[@edsgarage001]

Thx for the comment again.... I'm sure there was copying going on... But when you design vehicles to be extremely aerodynamic, they're going to look similar. The sunroof does slide open and tilt yes. No htrac badge, because the dual motor system works quite different to htrac AWD. It's just as good, but it's different. I don't think magna did the AWD in the ioniq 5 or 6. I actually like that there's no AWD badge. It's a nice clean look on the back.

[@khaledsquash1]

Where did you get the .24 CD of this trim? Can’t find that published anywhere.

[@edsgarage001]

Official Hyundai Canada training. The lower trim with the 18" wheels is 0.21 with the side view cameras and 0.22 with the side view mirrors. The higher trims with 20" wheels are 0.23 with side view cameras and 0.24 with side view mirrors. The same goes for other brands vehicles as well. Manufactures only ever publish the figures for their best models.

[@karlin_oriley]

One thing about the regen. breaking. Pull the right paddle for 2 seconds then it will switch to auto modus. There are 3 levels of auto regen breaking as well and it works with the laser on front to regulate the distance from the cars in front of you and it breaks automatically if you let loose the speed pedal. So all in all you have 8 modes of breaking (including lvl0 for floating along)

Yes, apparently the first Hyundai to get these.

@@kevinhill1851 Need to clarify. Some brands and I believe it was Chevy said the Bolt has OAU. It was very misleading as you physically still have to take the car to the dealership, which defeats the whole purpose of Not going to the dealer….

[@lanceareadbhar]

Supposedly, this EV will be able to get OTA updates that can affect the power train which the Ioniq 5 did not get. That said, the OTA updates don't seem to be very frequent so only time will tell how often they are and there may still be things where you still have to go to the dealership.

Yep, multiple systems in the ioniq 6 will have the ability to update ota

[@garrydenny5405]

Interesting that the 360 degree camera doesn't show the actual exterior color of the car. Hyundai has to get better at details. Also, for the Ioniq 6 the drive mode clusters should have been reimagined to differentiate from the Ioniq 5.

[@edsgarage001]

Yeah it seems like a fairly easy thing to change.... The instrument cluster screen is actually even the same on the Kia ev6 😆

At many dealers, there will be markups. Some will be small, some will be egregious..... Just call around.

Yes. I bought my 6 and it had a $3000 dealer markup. They wouldn't take it off. They had the color white I wanted. We went to 2 other dealerships. One put 3000 extra for accessories. We had them take it off. First dealer said he would match second dealer. Went back and made the deal. At finance, the guy put a protection package for 5,000 on without asking. My husband caught it. Finally got it for MSRP tag and tax.
