ALL-NEW 2023 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Dynamiq is presented as a compelling alternative to the Tesla Model 3, particularly for those prioritizing interior quality and unique styling. The reviewer highlights the Ioniq 6's significantly more premium and user-friendly interior, praising its material choices (despite their recycled origins) and intuitive tech interface, which surpasses that of the Model 3. Exterior design is a strong point, described as audacious and attention-grabbing, though polarizing. The base RWD Dynamiq trim is recommended for its better range and lower cost compared to AWD variants, offering a claimed 614 km WLTP range, with the reviewer achieving around 550 km in real-world testing. Performance is deemed adequate for a base model, with a 0-100 km/h time of 7.08 seconds, and handling is praised for its low center of gravity and surprisingly capable dynamics, especially in corners due to its RWD setup. While the Tesla Model 3 might offer slightly sharper driving dynamics and potentially faster acceleration in higher trims, the Ioniq 6 is lauded for its superior interior, better range in this configuration, and distinctive design, making it a strong contender despite potential availability issues.
