Hyundai Ioniq 6 2023 Electric Car Review: Is Australia Ready For This EV? (Tesla Model 3 Rival!)
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model 3 for buyers seeking an electric sedan that stands out. The reviewer h... moreighlights its striking, "electrified Streamliner" design, emphasizing its aerodynamic efficiency and class-leading range, particularly in the base Dynamic RWD model (614km WLTP). While the AWD Technic and Epic trims offer more power and features like cooled seats and digital mirrors, they come with a reduced range (over 500km). The interior is praised for its dual 12.3-inch screens, ample storage, and comfortable front seats, though rear legroom and headroom are noted as potentially cramped for taller adults. The reviewer finds the driving dynamics competent but not class-leading, with slightly odd steering feel and a stiff ride on rough surfaces. Charging is a strong point, with 350kW DC capability enabling 10-80% in about 18 minutes. Safety is excellent, with a 5-star ANCAP rating and a comprehensive suite of standard features, though the speed recognition system is deemed annoying. The digital camera mirrors are a point of contention, with the reviewer preferring traditional mirrors. Overall, the Ioniq 6 is lauded for its efficiency and unique styling, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing range and distinctiveness over outright performance or conventional sedan practicality. less
2023 Tesla Model Y Review: The Best EV? Electric SUV Test
The Tesla Model Y is presented as a compelling option for an electric family SUV, lauded for its spaciousness, practicality, safety, and value. The re... moreviewer highlights its impressive cargo capacity, including a substantial boot and a useful frunk. The interior, while minimalist, offers a comfortable experience with heated seats and a heated steering wheel, though the reliance on the central touchscreen for most controls, including climate and steering wheel adjustment, is noted as a potential safety concern and a point of contention. The reviewer also points out the lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Driving dynamics are described as effortless with ample torque, though the steering can feel heavy and the turning circle is large. A significant drawback mentioned is the firm ride quality, particularly with the optional 20-inch wheels, which can make road imperfections noticeable. The reviewer confirms the existence of both Rear-Wheel Drive and All-Wheel Drive Performance variants, detailing their respective power outputs, acceleration times, and range estimates. Despite some criticisms regarding the ride and the all-screen interface, the Model Y's strong safety rating, extensive charging network access, and overall package make it a strong contender in the EV SUV market. less
2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Epiq Electric Car Review: More Power, Bigger Battery, Digital Mirrors
The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Epiq receives a mixed review, praised for its increased power, torque, and a larger 77.4 kWh battery offering improved range.... more The reviewer highlights the exceptional rear-seat space and a usable, albeit less novel, interior with a high-definition dual-screen setup and physical climate controls. However, the top-spec Epiq trim's digital camera mirrors are a significant point of contention, deemed distracting and difficult to judge depth perception with, leading the reviewer to question their practicality and potential repair costs. The reviewer also notes the gear selector stalk's counter-intuitive operation and the ride can be slightly bumpy on imperfect surfaces. While acknowledging the Ioniq 5's overall efficiency and impressive charging speeds (10-80% in 18 minutes on a 350kW charger), the reviewer suggests the Epiq's premium price, particularly for the digital mirrors and sunroof, may not be justified. The Technic all-wheel drive variant is recommended as a better value alternative for those not needing the absolute longest range. less
A Superb Small Luxury SUV! 2023 Volvo XC40 Review
The 2023 Volvo XC40 is presented as a superb small luxury SUV, particularly praised for its practicality and ease of living with. The reviewer highlig... morehts its ideal compact size, making it easy to park while still offering a surprisingly large boot with a hands-free electric tailgate and a space-saver spare wheel. The interior is noted for its comfort and luxurious presentation, though the nine-inch touchscreen is considered a bit small and fiddly, especially for climate controls. Rear seat space is generous for the class, though the seatback comfort is average. The B5 Ultimate petrol model tested features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with mild-hybrid tech, offering strong performance with a 0-100 km/h time close to hot hatch figures. However, real-world fuel consumption (9.3 L/100km) is noted as not terrific, falling short of the claimed 7 L/100km. Ride comfort is compromised by large 20-inch wheels, leading to a bumpier ride than expected for a Volvo. Safety is a strong point, with comprehensive standard features and a five-star ANCAP rating (though from 2018). The reviewer concludes it's one of the best in its class, offering a choice between petrol and electric, but advises potential buyers to weigh the pros and cons carefully, particularly regarding the ride and fuel efficiency of the petrol model. less
