The Ioniq 6 is so much better than I thought - Range test

[@JorgeniLund]

I think Hyundai is doing the right thing and releasing a sedan and not just SUV car. Sedans have better energy efficiency, which I appreciate. It seems to be nice to drive. What I don't understand is why you always (!) have to choose rainy days when trying out Hyundai's new cars?

[@person2186]

It rains a lot in Germany

[@ProfessorHamer]

They should have made a lift gate rear opening though, that is a deal breaker for so many families if this is your main vehicle

[@lanceareadbhar]

​@@ProfessorHamer I can see that being added in the future. It's not a huge issue, but it would be nice.

[@ioniq5125]

Amazing, good results indeed. Shitty weather + soaking wet roads + winter tyres with considerable more rolling resistance + blasting on the Autobahn and still below 20 kWh/100 km is very good indeed! The aero of this Ioniq 6 really comes into its own. Looking forward to tests in somewhat better weather when at all possible ;)

[@NeilBlanchard]

I like the exterior design, but I wish it didn't have the large central console "buttress" - and I wish it had a hatch / liftback! Low Cd is wonderful, but it needs to be as practical as possible. And I like video side mirrors! They lower both the Cd and the frontal area, and they work better in the rain, and don't need adjustment for different drivers - and you should have much smaller (no?) blind spots.

[@SasquatchMelee]

You know that you can know the elevation on the screen... Just put the compass instead on the percentage (which is on your instrument cluster anyway) on the right side and there is an option to see elevation. I mostly drive on this as I find this quite interesting to see how high certain places are.

[@michaelcollier8768]

Great test! This is exactly the car I am interested in and exactly the kind of weather I drive in too much of the time. Too bad you couldn't do a steady 130 km/h. In "trying" to average out you will actually consume significantly more energy because pushing 140+ is going to use more energy than you will "save" going slower than 130. So "probably" you would average closer to the lower 19 kW/100km range if you could have done a steady 130 km/h. Best range test I have seen yet for the Ioniq 6. This is definitely real world.

[@HanYou2]

Rain increases consumption a lot. That's an amazing range in those conditions. The fact that the raindrops are not cleared off the back of the ioniq 5 shows that there's flow separation going on, which causes turbulence behind the vehicle and drag. If they can sculpt the ioniq 5 a bit more they could increase the efficiency a lot

[@olestampevestergaard4746]

Man I wish it was a shooting brake instead, the tiny lid in the back makes no sense to me...

[@xianshep]

Drove it and loved everything about it (silver with "green" interior, serene and gorgeous). But trunk space was a deal-breaking joke.

[@Today_I_Want_To]

Kudos: a Real (real!) life teste: 130 km/h (in the gps). My cruise control "by (my) default"

[@person2186]

Hyundai nailed it! What you need is sedan body with extreme low drag coef, good powetrain and you have a BEV winner, not like many makers out out too many bulby huge BEVs! Hyundai are smart and I like smart stuff like the ioniq6, so much that I will choose it over the new Prius plug in (I drive the current one), which is big shout as Prius is legend of a tech comfort and best eur per 100km car including BEVs, of course ioniq6 will be closer to prius's eur/100km and it's one of the reasons I will get the ioniq6, the other is it's better interior, it's spacious where new Prius is not big enough anymore, also poor dashboard design of the new Prius , just things sum up for my final choise ... Future is bright Toyota will get back stronger in BEVs in few years so going Hyundai now doesn't mean I will not return to Toyota after 2 or more years

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Bravo, Chris. Once again, real world traffic sucks and gets in the way 😖

[@gvaley]

Tool, in all honesty, had a somewhat muffled sound for the first several albums, although the mixing was insanely good. Only the last 2 albums have a more defined clearness. Nevertheless, the most important factor when testing a new audio is to play a piece that you know to the bones.

[@damienhoneyford2088]

Having had an Ioniq 5 off the road for over 2 months due to an ICCU failure (which seems to be very common, affecting Hyundai, Kia and Genesis), I don't think I'd run back for another of their cars (I sold mine back to the dealer) -- granted the Ioniq 6 does seem to be a lot more efficient than the 5, but if Hyundai and their dealers' customer service is aweful it doesn't matter how good the car could be.

1:11 hello. Great video, as always. What’s that pole you are using to hold the camera?

[@sebbbi2]

Ioniq 6 drag coefficient = 0.21. Which is very good. Tesla M3 and ID.7 = 0.23. Mercedes EQXX prototype = 0.17. So there’s still room for improvement for production vehicles.

From your experience, how would you compare it to the ioniq 38kw (except the range, of course)?

[@davidsworld5837]

it is weird how some car companies can get 5 miles to a unit when other can not manage even 3. with unit prices being so high in the UK you need to have a car with good use of its power to make it cheaper to use,

[@fabriziogiacomelli6288]

Grazie.

[@BremboT]

I think 110km/hr is a more universal speed. I understand Europe has more liberal speeds, autobahn being nearly unlimited, but in the rest of the world, highway speeds maxes out at 100km. 130km gives you automatic ticket😅

[@FFVoyager]

So Ioniq 6 or ID7? 🤔

[@BatteryLife]

I am tending to the Id7, but mostly because I find the Ioniq 6 from the side and rear not so good looking.

[@darrenorange2982]

So in miles, it is only going about 64mph avg speed and using about 316 watts a mile. It's sadly not that great compared to a Model 3 or a Model Y, and the Model 3 and Model Y that would include precondition the battery for super charging.

[@stennordenmalm1735]

I must totally disagree with that. What if you drive 120 km/h for two hours, then you have to stop for two hours, and you will end up having an average speed of just 60 km/h. And seemingly very high consumption

​​@@darrenorange2982 He had to drive extremely slowly for some part of the test and then he tried to raise the average speed driving faster even 150 km/h. That is not efficient way of driving. You gain some savings by driving slowly, but you lose even more when driving fast. So.... it does count.

Very nice presentation, really love the wrap up spreadsheet. Too bad you couldn't maintain the 80MPH speed as that's the average driving highway speed here in US. Have to see the charging curve to determine the average stopping distance when on a road trip. Finally the temperature was a little chilly so warm weather range would be 10 or 15% better.

@@JustWatchIt10 He did that so little that it is not shown in the video. Chris needs to find another day with less traffic and no rain if he wants to show how efficient this EV is.

The Ioniq 6 RWD is cheaper here in Canada with much more range than the M3. I think if Chris drove at 110 km/h the figures would have been in the 17kW/100km range.

[@bobo-san]

@@michaelcollier8768 price wise I'm talking about Germany; range wise: Ioniq 6 has a larger battery pack that's caused the "better" range but with my experience with my M3 RWD, the efficiency is amazing compared to Ioniq 6.

@@bobo-san LOL, relax. You are in Germany and I am in Canada. Chris drove an average of 130 and got 19.7. If he had driven a steady 130 rather than trying to average it out by going 160 at times, then his efficiency would have been better, probably lower than 19.5. If he did a constant 110 then his efficiency SHOULD be much better than 19.7, probably in the 17 range. Tesla's rock. Musk sucks.

So disappointed - this car is advertised with a range of over 600km. I guess when manufacturers have been used to lying about their fuel economy and their CO2 emissions for so long now, they’re not going to start being honest about real world range for EVs either

[@JustWatchIt10]

Let them advertise 2000 km. You still buy the best car for your needs based on tested reviews and most importantly your own test drive experience. There are not many that can go beyond this Ioniq 6 at its price. And who really needs more than 400 km of range per day?

[@barryf2018]

If you needed the range you wouldn't be driving at 80mph. It's about time that we scrapped the WLTP consumption figures or at least explain it more fully to the average buyer.

[@andrei_dk]

That 600km advertised range is not at autobahn speed in the rain. It's done at optimal speeds and temperatures, something you rarely get in the real world. Think about ICE cars. They are also advertised with unrealistic fuel consumption that you rarely achieve. You don't buy an ICE based on advertised fuel consumption...

[@BatteryLife]

You know that the wltp range is not driving fast on the highway. Normal mix in the summer you get 600 km
