Hyundai Ioniq 6 UK Owners Review and Tesla Comparison

I have now owned this car for three weeks, having had a Tesla Model 3 performance for the previous 3 years. I hope you find my comments useful.

This was very helpful mate, thank you for keeping the video short and sweet!

Thanks Dave... Big help as I'm looking to get an Ionic 6

[@KingTechHD]

Good review. I bought this two months ago and love this car

[@stevetaylor5854]

Great review as considering ordering the same spec. Thanks.

[@FHB71]

Except for the digital mirrors and the big rims I ordered the same configuration and finally after 4 months I was informed today that the car is at the dealer and that I can pick it up as soon as it has gone through checkup.

Great review....informative and balanced....best review I've seen of this car...good man

[@richardjackson139]

Great video

[@stephenclutton]

Good video. Thanks for that. I'm thinking of swapping from a Model Y to an Ioniq 6 so it's good to hear from a real owner rather than a motoring journalist who has driven 10 cars in the same day. Any chance of another update after a year's ownership?

[@uviewdave]

@@stephenclutton Thanks for your comments, I will try and post an update. I would say that I have had no issues with the car and no regrets. It still stands out from the crowd . Had it 18 months now .

I got an Ioniq 6 in the US recently and love it.

Thank you siiirr 👍🏾👍🏾

Fabulous review from the perspective of most of us who are considering our first BEV. Can you comment anything about the door releases: are they mechanical (and thus would work even if all the batteries have gone flat) or electrical (as in many makes, making them ineffective if battery power is not available, possibly imprisoning someone in the car). ANY information would be appreciated!

[@uviewdave]

As far as I can tell, they are mechanical from the inside. My tesla just had a button to press

[@flyingspirit3549]

@@uviewdave Thanks for responding! If there is a mechanical connection, you can always get out. If there is a button to press (for an electrical connection), what do you do if you're in the car and batteries have gone dead?

[@gammitinofficial]

​@@flyingspirit3549Sorry to jump in, the Tesla ones are actually electro mechanical and have a manual release underneath the arm rest, works no matter what happens with the battery.

[@flyingspirit3549]

@@gammitinofficial Thanks for the clarification! This is essential information for someone considering their first EV>

Quick question from a prospective buyer - is there a means of muting the speed warning "bong" in the latest over-the-air update? Or is it still a switch off the option each time you enter the vehicle? Thanks!

[@davidboothman3902]

Hi, you still have to mute it each time you drive, although there is a shortcut to take you to the relevant menu, so its quite easy.

[@drgavinmetcalf]

@davidboothman3902 great, thank you!

[@matthewemoore3879]

Great 1st review. Are you a golfer? If so can you get the clubs and trolley in the boot? Cheers Matt

[@uviewdave]

Yes, no problem with the clubs and electric trolley

[@gammitinofficial]

Nice video, thanks, I just ordered one of these, coming from a Tesla M3 AWD LR. Wondering if you can provide a link to the Motorola wireless car play please?

[@uviewdave]

@gammitinofficial it's a Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Car Adapter It's best to search for it on the internet. I got it on amazon. I can't see it now.

[@gammitinofficial]

@@uviewdave thank you, that's perfect! 👍 Cheers
