1 YEAR WITH MY HYUNDAI IONIQ 6! HERE’S WHAT I LOVE & HATE

EV Channels Review

After one year with his Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE, Corbin (@TheIoniqGuy) shares a mostly positive, albeit brief, ownership experience. The rear-wheel-drive, long-range model, acquired due to a favorable lease deal, has been largely trouble-free, with only a minor charge port issue in extreme cold. Corbin highlights the car's good efficiency, averaging 3.9 miles per kWh, though he notes it's lower than ideal due to his predominantly highway driving. His main regret is opting for the SE trim, specifically lamenting the all-black interior's lack of ambient lighting and overall blandness, wishing he had chosen the SEL for its interior styling and features like ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel. Despite this, he praises the Ioniq 6's solid build quality, lack of rattles, and surprisingly capable performance in snow, even on stock all-season tires, attributing this to its 50/50 weight distribution and effective traction control. While acknowledging the Model 3's quicker acceleration and potentially nicer interior feel, Corbin finds the Ioniq 6's overall ownership experience satisfactory, especially considering its value proposition and efficient nature, making it a decent, though not perfect, contender in the EV sedan market.
