Should you buy a Model 3 or Ioniq 6 in 2024? | Ultimate Owners Review

[@Freerider93]

I just did a test drive of the Ioniq 6 it's a great car and the 361 miles means range anxiety isn't really a thing anymore. The lease deal right now is unbeatable. 239 a month and only 239 down 12k miles for 24 months....about to close the deal in a couple of days!

[@MetzTech]

Congrats 🎉

[@AI2789crg]

You only get the 361 miles range with the SE (non standard) RWD . But this is one of the cheaper trim levels so it’s a great choice.

[@아나킨-j2u]

[@KingTechHD]

I have a family. Took my wife & oldest son, who’s 6ft, to test drive the Ioniq 6. He loved the backseat. My wife loved the design & quietness. I love the torque, tech & uniqueness. I pass dozens of Teslas a day. Only saw a handful of Ioniq 6 on the road. I also don’t care for Elon 😅 love our Ioniq

[@Foppalainen82]

Ive been test driving both the awd highland and ioniq 6 awd limited, deciding which one I will get as a company lease car. Ultimately I found the Ioniq to be a more comfortable car to drive. The suspension which I feel this video failed to mention is softer making the ride feel more refined and smoother. Having a head up display is a win for me. The Highland awd is more fun though.. Also you get used to buttons instead of stocks, but it is still a problem in EU with all the roundabouts. Especially since Tesla made a mistake imo of putting the buttons on the same side of the wheel. Try turning the wheel upside down and figuring out which button to press. Tesla charging network is the best but here in EU, I can charge my Ioniq at almost every Tesla Supercharger AND I get the 800volt system making it charge even faster at stations that support it. Infotainment is better with the Tesla, but no Apple Car Play. Sound system is better with Tesla. Sunroof is also bigger, but on the Ioniq you can open it. Both are great cars so it really comes down to preferences.

As an aside, I don't think the materials in the Ioniq 6 are a compromise to make it cheaper. Almost all of the plastic in the interior is recycled which costs a not insignificant amount.

[@MetzTech]

[@DarreyWilliams]

I have a red limited all wheel drive Ioniq6 which is the top of the line model with glass sunroof that ooens and closes and has electric shade cover inside, all leather black seats and is so fast and sporty looking that its just a step above tesla. I mean who wants to look like everybody else? The candy apple red of my car is amazing and the tech and handling is fabulous. The one in this video looks dirty and not a good rep of wht they really look like in person. I get stares and compliments everyday. Its my 4th hyundais.

I like the look of both cars. Prefer the Ioniq6 to drive. Model 3 has better nav for electric cars. Ioniq has better glass sunroof with shade and better interior and ergonomics. Model 3 has taken the radars and parking sensors off. Either are pretty good.

[@2021PorscheTaycanTurboS]

Smart person in the comment section. Other people just can't understand that both have their benefits and are great cars!

[@LekarzRodzynku]

Design-wise, Teslas look like not fully grown frogs and large toads. And I agree and prefer the heavier steering wheels. Hyundais come along a long way when I first tested Veloster and Tiburons that turned corners like a bumper car with a much lighter steering wheel experience which I did not like. When it comes to steering wheels, I do like german cars more than any other manufacturers. But Hyundai and Kia have done wonderful job with their interiors and exterior looks and feels of the materials they've used. This is the first ever since that I am seriously considering a Korean made vehicles, including the new Sonata, Santa Fe and the upcoming Palisade with a newer look in 2025 or later. Took a test drive in both Ioniq 5 and 6 and they felt good. Heavier than the previous gasoline-based small cars for sure. I currently drive a FJ cruiser and Ioniq 5 is definitely smaller but feels more comfortable and surprisingly quite good. Ioniq 6 is my preferred choice but still hunting and researching more into how dependable and reliable these EV vehicles really are, overall, plus the availability of charging station in my area. My two cents!!

Well one thing I have to say Car and Driver gave 2022 EV of the year award to one of the most unreliable EVs ever aka the ioniq 5 which also happened to need a battery replacement that cost more than the car at 60K. So far the 6 is much more reliable than the 5 though.

[@eddybatz8689]

I love both cars and I am in still indecisive but I will probably go with the ioniq 6 only because of the outer design, it speaks a lot to me, it feels like a classy vintage design and I know people are saying it resembles Porsches and that’s true but I am a simple man, I don’t see myself driving a Porsche to the grocery store. The front of tesla does look slightly better but they’re very similar

[@Crispinvich]

I question the Tesla Auto Charging strategy. We recently went from Nebraska to Texas and back. We let the Tesla navigate directly to its choice of Chargers and path. We ended up on a plethora of geometrically odd choices of roads, only to be connected back to the same road we left. I suspect the Tesla was deliberately slowing us down, to manage the charging traffic. On the return trip, we navigated via Apple Maps and just put in the charging stations point to point(so we would get preconditioning) and stayed on much better roads. Just an observation, that we tested only the one time, so we will try again in the future. Anyway, was watching the Video because we are debating on adding a Hyundai Ioniq to the garage, great info!

[@HansProbs]

Having test driven these A LOT recently, the new M3 is such a fun driving car. The Ioniq 6 is awesome as well though, with its turn stalks and amazing leg room. But so far the new M3 gets my vote because the sound system and feeling of quickness is honestly thrilling. Even the base M3 is so good.

To answer your question on the frunk. The European version of the IONIQ 6 RWD has a 45 Liter front trunk that is more like the Tesla's. The US versions do not have the frunk and I suspect is because they didn't want to add an internal release which is mandatory by some stupid US law. No AWD version of the IONIQ 6 have that large frunk because the front motor takes up that space.

[@syawkcab]

How is it a stupid law? Internal release seems like a critical safety feature to mandate. I'm surprised Europe doesn't mandate that

[@woki]

It should be noted that the European version does not have rearview mirrors, but external cameras with two screens inside the car on the driver and passenger side. This improves blind spots and improves aerodynamics

It took her a couple of weeks to get used to and then I couldn't get it back off her. I don't think she'd love the refresh straight away with the new indicators but all the reviews I've seen says it takes about 20 mins to get used to. I think the Ioniq 6 looks like a great EV as well but I've had such bad experiences with the last couple of Hyundai's I've owned - never again. I had a 5 speed manual elantra sportswagon - great basic car. But then we've had a 90's Sonata and a 2L 2008 i30 and both were disappointing cars. Interior plastics started to fall apart after after a few years (although the fabric seats in the i30 held up well), mechanical niggles, terrible fuel economy. The Sonata was a dog, the i30 was peppy enough but super thirsty for it's size.

Watching the smaller channels and going through all the people comments is me thing stands out is the real work performance. Tesla is a lot smoother easier experience where as I yet to see a video for example where an ioniq 6 charges at its full capacity or finds a charger that can do it. They mentioned capacity and speed of charging but guarantee he s probably never been able to take advantage of it. people also report having a problem with a ford or Hyundai for example leaves dealership stumped without the ability to repair your car ends up bricked parked at dealer while you still pay insurance and monthly payments. Tesla at this point charging, repairs and network is just so far more advanced makes REAL WORLD use next level.

As someone who owns a Bolt and Model 3, Teslas are plagued with QC issues. Tesla Service centers are very hit or miss. They are notorious for fixing a issue, only to cause another. The single screen to control everything is pretty bad. I remember having to watch a youtube video on how to unlock the passenger doors when sitting in the car. opening the glovebox is 2 levels into the UI, so I never use my glovebox in my Model 3. The real benefit of Teslas is access to the supercharger network and the battery preconditioning when navigating to a supercharger. Dont set the navigation to a supercharger and you will get slow charging speeds. The Tesla app is superior to other brands, but a keyfab is superior to Tesla's keycard or Phone access. Using bluetooth headphones and your car wont unlock. The bulk of pros of owning an EV are shared across all brands. If Hyundai had access to the Supercharger network, and I would never look at a Tesla ever again.

Yeah, Tesla owners are on that copium after seeing their resale value fall and the company collapsing from within. Sorry but Teslas have some of the worst resale value. Tesla owners are worried. Especially the ones that were paying 65k for a model Y a couple years back. 30K car used now

[@drafish]

Incredibly helpful. Great production values. This was a very entertaining video to watch, and I found myself agreeing with both of you on the pros and cons. I am approaching being ready (Sept., I hope) to decide between a Model 3 and a Model Y--although my wife likes the larger back seat in the Hyundai (primarily, I think, for hauling grandkids and granddogs). I am still trying to figure out if the ionic6 should be compared with the Model 3 OR the Tesla Y. Have you done a review of the 2024 Tesla Model Y? Aside from the higher price--are there that many features that make the Y a better choice than the 3?

[@MetzTech]

It would really be Ioniq 6 vs Model 3 or Ioniq 5 vs. Model Y! Totally up to personal preference. I prefer the look and build quality of the 3…but the space of the Y is great!

[@drafish]

The other factor is that I just like the TESLA leadership in EV. Thanks so much for your response. Looking forward to watching more of your videos-they are outstanding.
