2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 SE BASE MODEL EV: LIGHTING ANALYSIS + NIGHT DRIVE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed analysis of the 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE Base Model's lighting systems, focusing on their performance at night. The reviewer highlights the functional aspects of the exterior lights, noting the amber parking lights with distinctive pixel designs and the full-width rear light bar. The brake lights are praised for their brightness and integration with the rear spoiler's third brake light. Turn signals are described as bright, with a surprising red hue in the rear despite amber in the front. The projector low beams offer a good, low cutoff, designed to avoid blinding other drivers, and the high beams significantly increase illumination. While the reviewer finds the headlights adequate and well-distributed for an EV, they suggest they could be slightly brighter compared to some gasoline counterparts. Interior lighting is also examined, with the reviewer noting illuminated USB ports and a well-lit glove compartment, though some areas remain dark. The automatic high beam system is discussed with a degree of skepticism, preferring manual control, but acknowledges Hyundai's generally good implementation.
