HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 AWD - MORE POWER. MORE DESIRABLE?

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD, particularly the top-spec Ultimate trim, is presented as a capable electric sedan, but the reviewer questions its value proposition over the single-motor variant. While praised for its distinctive design, excellent build quality, spacious interior, refinement, and efficient powertrain with rapid charging capabilities, it falls short in key areas. The boot space is the smallest in its class, and rear headroom can be tight for taller passengers. The reviewer strongly advises against the optional digital door mirrors, deeming them a costly and impractical addition. Crucially, the dual-motor version offers only a marginal performance increase and a slight reduction in range compared to the single-motor model, leading the reviewer to conclude that the standard car is the better choice unless an 'N' performance version is released. While a very good car and preferred over the Tesla Model 3, it's considered a close second to the improved Polestar 2 in this competitive segment.
