I already own an IONIQ 5 and was ready to trade it in for the IONIQ-6 which gets more mileage or so I thought. Went to purchase the IONIQ-6 SEL model and found out that the SEL and LIMITED get the same mileage as the IONIQ-5 (305 miles). Only the SE (lowest class) gets the 361 miles. It only has 18in wheels, which are not very attractive in my opinion and cloth seating. Not sure if Kevin is driving the SEL or Limited in the commercial but it does not get 361 miles. Be careful when purchasing.

Darn I was actually hoping they would come in under the Model 3. When it comes to everything that comes with the Model 3 rwd, it is still the leader in this class by at least a quarter mile. For 42500 you get adaptive cruise, lane keep assistance, heated seats and steering wheel. And that’s before the $7500 tax credit. The comparable Ionic 6 would be in the mid 50s with no credit.

[@mgarcia8878]

The base SE rwd starts at 45500. That doesn’t include many options and gets you 361 miles. The SEL rwd for 47700 gets you a few more options like lane keep but the mileage drops to 305. The limited rwd for 52600 gives you all the bells and whistles but you are still sitting at 305 miles in range. Is this really a Model 3 killer. For months and as recently as Feb we were all lead to believe by Hyundai that the starting price would be 41k. What happened?

Simply because customers are humans, not computers/accountants.
