HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 - BRILLIANTLY DIFFERENT FROM EUROBOX CITY!

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a polarizing yet thoughtfully designed electric vehicle. While its distinctive, aerodynamic styling may divide opinions, the reviewer appreciates Hyundai's courage to create something different. The "Ultimate Edition" trim, featuring digital mirrors and a premium interior, is highlighted for its solid build quality and spacious cabin, particularly for rear passengers. However, the reviewer notes a lack of headroom for taller individuals and some practical drawbacks like a saloon boot that collects grime easily and a small frunk on the AWD version. Performance in the AWD is described as almost too quick and not progressive, leading the reviewer to prefer the smoother delivery of the RWD version and suggesting it might offer better efficiency and range. Real-world efficiency is reported at 3.4 miles per kWh, slightly less than the Tesla Model 3. The reviewer criticizes the excessive safety warnings and the mandatory re-activation of features like lane keep assist and speed limit warnings, though the easy deactivation of lane keep assist is praised. Despite these criticisms, the Ioniq 6 is recommended for a test drive, especially considering current discounts, and is favored over the Ioniq 5 for its unique styling and over the new Model 3 due to the latter's problematic indicator stalks.
