I CRASHED THE NEW HYUNDAI IONIQ 6

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is presented as a compelling, albeit less practical, alternative to its predecessor, the Ioniq 5. While the reviewer praises its sleek, drag-reducing design and the quality of its interior materials, significant criticisms are leveled at its practicality. The sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and under-thigh support, making it less comfortable than the Ioniq 5. The boot space is also noted as being smaller and harder to access due to its saloon body style. The reviewer highlights several 'annoying' features, including the awkward rear bumper design, the steering wheel potentially obscuring the speedometer, the lack of a vegan steering wheel option, and the inconvenient placement of ISOFIX points. On the positive side, the surround-view camera system is excellent, blind-spot indicators are a standout feature, and the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability is a significant plus. The driving experience is described as pleasant and relaxing in town, with good steering and smooth brakes. However, the reviewer ultimately recommends shortlisting the Ioniq 6 but would personally opt for the more practical and 'iconic' Ioniq 5 for the same price.
