Ioniq 6 First Impressions From Ioniq 5 Owner | What Do I Think of Hyundai's New Sedan?

[@edd.730]

Great review Ioniq Guy and thank you for coming to visit us at Key Hyundai of Manchester CT! I'm the EV/Hybrid Specialist at Key Hyundai of Manchester so if you have any questions that didn't get answered in this video please reply to this comment and I'll do my best to answer them. We currently have Ioniq 6s in stock with plenty of Ioniq 5s as well if anyone is in the area and wants to come check them out! Thanks again Ioniq Guy, can't wait for your video after you get to spend a full week with the 6!

[@oholdeno]

Great video Corbin. Even though I'm not in the market for the 6, just love seeing the comparison from a 5 owner that lives/loves the car everyday. Like that you're keeping it very balanced without much bias towards the 5 too. Like you, I was a long-time sedan driver and really feel at home with the 5 even though it's marketed as an "suv".

I have the 18" wheels on RWD in Australia and getting the equivalent of 5.1mi/kWh so yeah it is super efficient. The spec here still keeps the nose sound system and hud even on the rwd and only misses vented front seats, heated rear seats, memory seats, heat pump and camera mirrors. All the other nice to haves are on the lowest spec. Love it

[@becker727]

I’m getting the Dynamiq RWD in Australia should be in about two weeks but are you saying that it has no memory seats I thought it did?

[@kingsole5841]

Thank you for the review, picking up mine tomorrow!

Hey E Coaster Ioniq Dude, CaliBoi here WITH the SE LR RWD 6 and YES miss the SEL Trim but I WANTED THE RANGE! 371 was a DC chrg and usually 350-360 with using the L-2 Charger and only going 80 % with the DC. Had EV since 2010 and only a L-2 user NO CHAEDEMO so used to only lchange of full batt four years later. NO MORE RANGE ANEXIETY! So YES Ioniq Guy (5 to 6) WAIT for it, I only had to wait from Long Beach from docks via H Dealer for THIS SE LR RWD. Accidentally had L-2 overcharge already for 5 hrs and Believe IT or Not, 431 showed on display post unplugging! went away quick down to 371 albiet supposed to MAX OUT EPA @ 361. Good car WAY Better than my 100m EV and NOT haveing to CHARGE EVERYDAY NO MOREl....NICE job, will watch your long drive.

[@TheProjectOverload]

Great review. Sad to see so many Ioniq5 and Ioniq6 in stock. Here in Canada, we have 2+ year waiting lists and zero stock anywhere.

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

Agreed. I would love an Ioniq 5 but I can’t wait a year or more for one!!!!!

[@nicolasperron3918]

I am in the same boat, it’s been a year now on the waiting list and still waiting the call from my dealer to process the order. It’s painful to see that many I5 in the car lot and here in Canada no dealer has one. 😢

[@seabream]

Happily that seems to be changing a bit. Autotrader has been showing Ioniq 6 in stock on and off around SW Ontario. I know someone in Ontario whose Ioniq 6 arrived at the dealer recently about 17 weeks after ordering (though they were told two years was a possibility at the time of ordering). Granted, due to the way that allocation works, it was their fourth or fifth choice of colour, but it was the right trim and option level, and wasn't the matte paint, so it wasn't critical. GV60 is also in the 4-5 month range for people going upmarket for E-GMP vehicles in Ontario.

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

Nice review. One thing I noticed when driving one was that unlike the Ioniq 5 the 6 remembers the iPedal mode!

[@ChristopherDillman]

22:29 - By iPedal you mean the one pedal drive? My problem with the Teslas is they make me nauseous when you take your foot of the accelerator and it very aggressively slows down. Curious what the feel is like with the Ioniq 6? I recently drove a Polestar 2, and no nausea there - much smoother.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s correct

[@mrexcet]

Great video as usual. I was into buying this car when it's finally available in Sweden and it is now. But.... the big issue is delivering times to Sweden. Ioniq 5 buyers ordered their cars mid 2021 and still many of them still haven't got their cars... Unfortunately for Hyundai because the car is a dream, but I am not ready to wait 2 years for a new car. But I will still follow your channel because I really like your way of showing these great cars.

[@sketchsketchsketchsketch]

5:45 If I’m not mistaken, Ioniq5 is the only eGMP car with 2 separate coolant reservoirs. EV6 and GV60 have just one like this.

[@radiioman46]

I just put my Ioniq 5 in the shop to replace the ICCU/fuse warranty work, and someone before me put his in the shop to have the same replacements, and when they told him it could be weeks, or months, he said he couldn't wait, so he sold the 5 to them and bought a 6! I don't know what kind of deal he made, but when I talked with a salesman, he said they still charge the $5k above sticker price. Plus he said he could only give me $26,000 for my SE trim. LOL! what a bad salesman. Oh well, that's the way it is from Baytown Tx at Hyundai.

[@Jcornillon]

I think the Koreans set the pace. So what it amounts to which one is best for my situation. I currently have a lease on a Ioniq which doesn't run out to the middle of next year. By then we will be flooded with Korean choices - I also hope that they start producing the cars they intend to sell in the U.S. to be made in the U.S. so that they will be playing on a even selling field. Testla should not get an financial advantage that Hyundia doesn't also get. Go show, hope to see a long range test from you soon.😁

[@videosbystofferson3945]

Could the i-pedal difference be a result of the high state of charge? Many other evs don't like to do significant regen when the battery is at a higher SOC. Just wondering if you considered that.

[@TrainsFerriesFeet]

My Model 3 is like that.

[@voyageurmike]

Got to briefly test drive an I6 a few weeks ago, Springfield Hyundai in PA is receiving small allotments every 3 months. The unthrilling range with 20" wheels deters me from going SEL or Limited. The 11.2 cubic ft for cargo is even worse due how shallow the trunk opening is. But it's a fine sedan, otherwise. If I can get past that teeny trunk, I might just buy an I6 after all.

[@Draconis8888]

The more I see it, the more I like it. Still prefer the I5. Good job to the Hyundai design team! Thanks for the look video.

[@stalwart56k]

Oh those seats make me miss my 2018 blue Ioniq PHEV sedan!

[@crayzieap]

Can't get over the back. Concept version looked amazing but the changes to production has made it look hideous imo. In comparison the changes made forthe I5 to production changes wasn't as drastic and still captured the look/feel of the original concept

[@nickipogue6532]

Do you think you can fit a road bike in the back? Looking forward to that video once you get one to live with for a week!

[@LearnEnglishWithMatta]

Great review, thanks brother 💪🏽🇺🇸

[@RWAquariumPages]

ah great review, it looks like it won't fit a 6'2" person in the back comfortably? I'll need to rewatch that portion again.! keep up the great videos!

[@TheIoniqGuy]

The outboard seats will for sure and the middle seat can be used in a pinch but I wouldn’t wanna spend much time in that center position

[@RWAquariumPages]

@The Ioniq Guy oh wow! Thanks for the quick reply! That's great to know. Thanks for all the great and wonderful videos on the i5

[@iosyabrams1094]

Does it have charging problems like model 5?

[@4thdistrict476]

Does this car have two steering wheels? I had to do a double take at the position you were sitting in at the 10:45 mark. The steering wheel is on the right side!!!! Are you messing with us for fun?? LOL!!

[@travelasia2023]

WTF?? He must have 2 cars in this video!!

[@PeterKyllesbeck]

He's making selfies mirrored - needs to change a setting on (I)Phone. ;-)

[@planinshek]

That confused me as well too.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Yeah I’m using a third party app to control the gimbal I just got. Didn’t realize while editing

[@vince549br]

I inspected an Ioniq 5 on a LVL2 charger in Westerville OH. They charge $0.08/KWH. I don't have a BEV, want one, brings up question how many KWH in per KW of charge? If you are at 20% charge and go to 30% charge ( about 8 KW ) how much does it take to get there? 8KWH , 9KWH ? My home rate is $0.18 / KWH.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I made a video about this last year. Charging speed makes a big difference when going from 120V to 240V. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5qmhKGtpKamZsU

[@vince549br]

@@TheIoniqGuy Thanks for your quick reply. I want to get my 240 B panel in the garage :)

[@MegaSn0wb0ardJunkie]

A few thoughts of mine. It's really nice. I'm not a fan of the rear lower bumper. In the black it's not as bad but in lighter colors it's not appealing. Cargo space is definitely lacking. I went from a sonata to the i5 and I would never go back to a sedan. I like that the wireless charger is closer to the usb port for carplay. I'm curious if the 2024 i5 refresh will have any changes to the interior. I'm curious if you're able to make a 3D printed replacement of the i5 DC pin cover/protector. Something easier to pull off without Sticking out too much. Just something to grab. May be a bit tough with the tether. Maybe just something that clips onto the existing one?Just a thought tho. Thanks for the video. Keep em coming!!

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

"I like that the wireless charger is closer to the usb port for carplay." Don't expect Hyundai to be offering wireless Carplay or Android Auto anytime soon.

[@BillB33525]

Looks like a lot of car for 52K A hatchback version would probably be more popular.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

I would love to see a lift back or shooting brake version.

[@Alloballo123]

Re. Key Hyundai Manchester -- I have 2023 SE -- looked up vin no nhtsa noticed. How do I know if my car needs any of the tsbs? Should I just call them and bring it in?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

They’re not recalls so they aren’t available through NHTSA. They meant to be applied when customers complain about a problem. The only TSBs for your car would be the intermittent level 2 charging TSB and the updated battery conditioning update if you find that ECO mode is too slow and dangerous. Please see my older videos

[@Alloballo123]

@@TheIoniqGuy right! I have, thanks. Was just making sure I didn't need to bring it in -- but eco mode is fine with me and I don't have any intermittent level 2 charging issues (though my understanding is the fix just regulates voltage and lowers charge rate -- which you could already do in the software? -- so not much of a fix...)

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s correct

[@LawrenceHall-u6o]

Can you do a review on the automated car wash mode…please

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Is that a new feature debuting on the Ioniq 6? I wasn’t even aware

[@LawrenceHall-u6o]

I read through the online owners manual and it did not mention it but someone else reviewed last year and said it was a feature. If you don’t know and it’s not in the owners manual I’ll safely assume it is not a feature.

[@thewilscott]

Great looking car, thanks for the video

[@alanbuck9237]

Crazy why they reversed the sides the steering wheel controls are on! Great way to confuse people. 🙄

[@jm9371]

Great car. My EV6 is weeks away. Keep rockin' the content.

[@anderspedersen542]

The Ioniq6 being quieter than the 5 could be down to it being a sedan with no cabin rumble from the trunk space.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

That’s a very good point as well

[@TheJamieleegood]

I ordered the Tesla 3 because I’m not leasing the Hyundai 5 or 6 sel for almost $800 a month that’s ridiculous

[@kentgabriel3572]

most if not all Hyundai cars/sedans that have fold down rear seats have those pull nobs in the trunk, don't just flip the seat back down for you. You have to go around like you did to fold them by hand. The pulls in the trunk just unlatch them....very dumb in my opinion. If you have to walk around to fold them anyway, just have a lever to unlatch there....one step to fold them down instead of the current two steps.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Good to know. The Ioniq 5 is my first Hyundai so I wasn’t aware. Seems silly though

[@WretchedIcon]

I think it’s for theft protection.

[@tubelator]

Oh. I hate the ipedal. It needs more regen! My wife’s c40 has better ipedal. Wish Hyundai would give it more regen via OTA updates.

[@YTYTYTY7]

really? I love the strong regen. Did you try awd version? When I drove c40, it had strong regen too, which was great.

[@tonypegler9080]

9:34 I beg to differ. I have 1 in the bottom of the armrest and 2 in the rear on the back of the centre console.

[@4thdistrict476]

You don't have USB-C on your I-5. They are all USB-A ports. The ones mentioned at 9:34 are USB-C ports.

[@tonypegler9080]

@@4thdistrict476 Ah my apologies - I just heard USB - I thought that was strange. So why does it matter A or C ?

[@4thdistrict476]

@@tonypegler9080 USB- C is the newer standard and is used by most new devices. USB-A has been around for years and is a proven design. But, in the end, the -C would be the preferred version. It passes much more power than the -B (2.5 watts and 5 volt for -A vs 100 watts and 20 volts for -C) so it can charge larger devices and more quickly. Plus, the plug on the -C doesn't have a top or bottom - it's symetrical so can rotate the plug in either position. That means no more checking the orientation before attempting to plug it in, a minor nit, but one that can get frustrating if having to do over and over again.

[@RyoHazuki224]

I really love the Ionic 6. We need MORE sedans, dammit!! I'm tired of everything moving to SUV or crossover style!

[@seansysig]

The rear is ugly. The rear seat is to small. Good review and feedback!

[@outbackigloo6489]

Definitely a car that I am considering. And that dealership is about 20 miles from me.

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Last I checked they had 3 on their lot. They don’t seem to be selling well

[@edd.730]

We're down to 1 SEL Dual Motor at Key Manchester (black on black) We've received 6 total 6's so far and sold 5 of them. Have 1 Black on gray Limited due next month and another couple of SELs coming soon too! They're not all pre-sold like when the 5 first came out but they are selling well so far. Thanks for the great review IoniqGuy!

[@tomrossman9371]

I'm not a fan of the rear design.

[@toddh4491]

I really like the look of this car, but as an avid cyclist I need to giant trunk in my Ioniq 5 (which can easily swallow my 29 mountain bike with both wheels on it). If the 6 were a liftback, I would consider it.

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

It’s hideous looking. No sense of style at all. The Ioniq 5 looks FAR better.
