WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A TESLA | IONIQ 6

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a striking, futuristic alternative to the prevalent EV SUVs and a potential rival to Tesla. The reviewer highlights its unique, polarizing design, drawing comparisons to Porsche, and praises its aerodynamic efficiency, which contributes to a claimed range of 338 miles (though this is reduced from potential figures due to standard 20-inch wheels in the UK). Interior space, particularly rear legroom, is exceptionally generous. However, the review points out significant drawbacks: a high starting price of £47,000, which is more than a Tesla Model 3, and a cabin that doesn't feel premium enough for the cost, with noticeable plastic use in the door cards and a less luxurious feel than expected. The infotainment system's screen design is also criticized for appearing cheap. Practicality is slightly hampered by the saloon boot opening and the lack of a rear wiper. The car's intrusive speed limit warnings are also a point of contention. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges its strong points, particularly the impressive charging capability (220kW) and the availability of both RWD and AWD powertrains with the larger 77.4kWh battery in the UK.
