I still have my ioniq 2017 and love it ! Over 170K Km driven in it too - be a big jump to start paying for the 6 .. Also I don’t do many km now - though the 6 is incredible !
- For the windows that go up and down with the key, on my Ioniq 6 (in France), that feature works, except that all four windows go down. Aaaand you can put them back up with the "lock" button ! - the door handles "open on approach" does not work here. Maybe I’ll be subject to the recall. I hope so, but I’ve not been contacted by the dealer. - the blind-spot camera view is nice, but there could have been a button somewhere on the turn signal handle to put them both on temporarily. I miss that sometimes in narrow streets here. - for the dislikes : I agree on the keyfob, the lane change (but that’s only a gadget for me), the location of the charge port should have been rear-left to match the Tesla Network. - the rear daytime lights is also something I miss. Here in France, all the Renault / Peugeot have them. - for the seat with Bluelinks, I find it totally absurd that like 90 % of the features of the car are handled by the OBC, but not accessible with Bluelink. This make Bluelink almost useless actually.
It really really does. I met a Polestar owner the other day and he was shocked by how nice it looked in person... He said he purposely didn't consider it based on pictures, but should have checked it out in person.
I have a question. What did you use to black out the bottom panels? I have the black version of this car and want to black out the silver bottom. Did you spray it or wrap it?
I wrapped it. But to be honest I wouldn't do it again, it's been a little annoying to keep it on. Every now and then a rock will tear it and it catches wind and starts slowly getting worse.
1. I like that you have a box of tissues in the lower-center storage bin. 2. Not being able to turn on the heated/ventilated seats via Bluelink, but being able to turn on the heated steering wheel, sounds like a simple oversight by Hyundai. I would think they can fix it via an app or OTA update. Can Hyundai's get OTA updates, or do they expect you to take it to the dealership for an SD card to be inserted, like it's 2003? 3. Wired-only Apple Carplay or Android Auto is just silly at this point. Hyundai should definitely do it wirelessly. I like your workaround.
I use the smart park the same way to back it out of the garage. My charge door is on the drivers side. Mine has day time driving lights. My phone on the charge pad slides back into the cup holders when in sport mode. I just realised that the Ioniq 6 out accelerates the Lamborghini Countach to 100kph by about 1 second. We have the European spec in Australia which must be different from North America. Thanks Ed love your videos.
Are you in sales? I am trying to get one locally in Regina, I want AWD Ultimate grey inside, prefer the grey/blue outside. Are you getting lots of stock this year yet? I could drive out to BC to buy one if you are getting stock.
What I have found for lane changes is that you just give it a slight nudge and then it'll start doing it which is great since it gives me time to check the blindspot too to confirm. It doesn't cancel midway.
Please can you tell me how to precondition my battery, I live 0.9 miles from my home to the fast charging station, surely I must be able to set it to heat up the battery while it is stationary at the charging station even if it takes an hour. It doesn't recognise the fast charging station on the map.
I really miss the rear wiper blade, too often the back window is full of rain drops and I cannot see out of the rear. I do love the 360 surround camera parking, and I have fun with all the beeps except for the collision alarm it feels like I am riding around in Knight Riders car, only my car is Serenity white like I wanted it to be.
Hey just curious why you chose the 6 over the 5 as I'm going back and forth on which one to get. A smooth quiet ride is very important and from what I can tell the 6 is a bit more isolated than the 5. Any thoughts?
Yes the ioniq 6 is a bit quieter on the inside. Probably partly due to the lack of an open hatch back trunk area. The other reasons I chose the ioniq 6 were the better range and the uniqueness of the vehicle. Seems like everybody wants ioniq 5, which was enough reason for me to want the ioniq 6 lol. I also prefer the handling characteristics of the ioniq six over the five. I find the five has just enough body roll to make it feel different than the six.
@@edsgarage001 Ya everyone wants an SUV with tons of space but I'm just a single guy and love the uniqueness of the 6. I tend to lease my vehicles and sell them rather than return so that may be an issue with less of a market to buy it. From all my research it seems like the 5 leases better as of now even though both get $7500 with about equal MSRP. Like you, I only buy top trims so limited awd it is. Thanks for the insight!
@@edsgarage001 Thank you, at least working out is better than doing nothing at all. Fingers crossed in the next few months they can sort the licensing out.
I got the bottom part of the vehicle vinyl wrapped in piano black. As it was gray. And then I also did the orange pinstripe, but I did that myself. I ordered it on Amazon and applied it. It was pretty easy
In my Ioniq 5 I can close all my windows using my key fob. Rather than holding the unlock button, I hold down the lock button. Does this not do the same on the Ioniq 6? My Ioniq 6 is currently on board ship and I can't wait for it to arrive :-)
So I have a wireless apple car play dongle for my Ioniq 6 too. FYI I keep mine plugged in all the time, the car shuts off the usb port after about 4 min of the doors being locked.
After driving this car for past 6 months, many software issues some of which you referred to I.e. automatic doors sometimes works and it just never stops beeping and bonging no matter what settings you use also constantly warning me to take a break. Also the infotainment system is average at best and can be very glitchy and soooo slow. My car has been back to garage 6 times without any improvements! Such a pity as it would be an excellent car…so quite except for constant these intrusive alerts…
I am very surprised that you do not mention the speed limiter beeps in the top 10.(and eliminate by each restart)...i believe that for a lot of ioniq 6 users that is number 1 dislike .
While the ioniq 6 does have the ability to do that in Canadian models, it's actually able to be disabled here. And by default, it's disabled from factory.
If I remember correctly, in Canada at least, you can assign an offset so that it only alerts you if you're speeding by a specified amount. If that's the case where you are, could you set it to something higher than what you would do and avoid it beeping that way even if you can't make it stay off?
@@edsgarage001 yeah I know, asked Hyundai Australia to look into it. Also seems korean versions have the inbuilt dash cam. PS like your dashcam and extra strip light :)

hey, the trunk looks rather small, could 2 sets of golf clubs fit in the back without removing the driver/fairway woods? Hoping you golf and can answer this easily. cheers,
Thanks for your question! The majority of the trunk is about 41" wide. The very front of the trunk (closest to the opening) has about a 7-8" section that is 48" wide, but the rest is 41". With that said, you may have to take out your drivers and store them in that front part of the trunk, that is wider, unless your kit is small enough to fit entirely in that front section (unlikely). The rest (irons, wedges, putters, bag) should fit just fine anywhere in the trunk.
@@edsgarage001 Thanks for the reply, looking to replace my altima, and really like the ioniq6, wish the dealers had some in stock to actually sit in, test drive, etc. cheers
I believe that color is Nocturne Gray? Worth noting that color is unique to other countries besides the US. Don't know why, but that color cannot be found on Hyundai's build configurator in the US.
The problem is, that if you do have your hands on the wheel, it often doesn't know it unless you move your hand a bit.... But then it sometimes cancels anyway because it detected input. I've found that it cancels the auto lane change far too often even with my hands on the wheel
Re: Seats. They probably don't want you to drain the battery without you in it. Heated steering wheel is a lot more useful when its cold - and is less of a power drain.
I don't think so... The heated seats are only about 20 watts. Even with all 4 turned on, it would take a month and 10 days to use up all 77.4kwh of battery power
Yes Pretty much everything but the traction motor runs off of the 12v battery. Witch is then kept charged by the traction battery through the inverter/converter/transformer unit. But that's because every accessory made to run off electricity in a vehicle, is designed around the 12v architecture.
I have only 2 dislikes and one of them relevant to Australia only - School zones warning at night super annoying! So easy to fix. Second issue is no camera recording during the drive and parking. C'mon Hyundai - car has 4 cameras, just add one card reader with micro sd
I think it warns for school zones here in the evenings too.... I'll have to keep an eye out for that. No audible warning though, unless you turn that on. I agree with the cameras, gotta be a way to do that fairly easily
Thank you Ed. I have a lot to learn about my Ioniq6. I can tell you right now, my doors have never unlocked themselves, I have to hit that little button on the door handle or use the remote. But my biggest dislike is that the doors don't lock itself when I walk away!! it irritates me. I've left it unlocked on the street quite a few times because I'm so use to driving a tesla. Also, why is there a power on button on an EV? I keep forgetting to hit that too when i'm done driving lol. Glad you love your car. I'm not sure I love it as much as my Tesla though. Maybe it needs more time. cheers
Thx for the comment! There's a recall for the auto unlock. But also, you need to make sure it's enabled in the vehicle settings under "doors" I'm so used to hitting the button that it doesn't really bother me at all. The power button doesn't bother me either to be honest. Personally I prefer it as I don't need it to come to life everytime I get into the car. It's all in what you're used to though. I mean, if you look at a Tesla objectively, they're far from perfect too, and I'm sure you can find things you'd rather were different.
Hmm... turn-assist is too slow? 4-5 seconds sounds about right to me. Where I live and drive/ride far too many drivers misunderstand what indicators are for. They seem to drive along (often slowly) waiting for a gap with no indication, then only indicate as they change lane (or even actually just while changing lane). Life as a driver gets SO much easier, and safer for others if you *indicate* your intention, THEN wait for the gap to do so safely, then change lanes. Yes, perhaps 4-5 seconds later.... or even more in heavy traffic. Charging port on the right side. GREAT news at last for those of us driving on the left-side of road! 😆 BOTH of our current cars have the fuel tank cover on the left-side of the car, so I have ALWAYS needed to get out at the petrol station and walk around the back of the car. Will be so much easier now.
The door handle sould close atomaticaly 15 sec after you move out of the car ... like american ÉV . The fact that door handle can be lefy open is facilitating people to get inside and steal yur belonging . a program should be made available to upgrade this option of automatique door lock after 15 or 30 second
Who's offended? It's not like you mentioned in Canada in your comment. You just said that "rear dtrl aren't a thing"... I have viewers from all over the world, I have no idea where you're from or what market you're referring to. I was just responding to your comment... 🤷 I wasn't offended at all lol 😂
no way that you can roll the windows down on the fob and not put them back up. Have you tried pressing and holding lock button? If that doesnt work try double clicking lock and hold.
@@edsgarage001 thats so weird. since my comment I checked on some forums and apparently its for "safety" My Lincoln MKZ could roll windows down from the fob but it would lower and raise all 4, as well as open the panoramic roof, and it was a 2018, so I'm surprised the asians, which are normally at the forefront of innovations, are lagging behind 5 years later.
@@user-gb3jq1io2cI think it might be because it uses RF it doesn't require line of sight, which makkes the chances of a mishap higher. My family used to have a European car, model year 2000 IIRC, in Canada, where you could open and close the windows (and moonroof) with the key, but instead of the radio frequency transmitter/reciever (which it used for lock/unlock and alarm), it instead used a separate infrared transmitter on the end of the key and a receiver on each side of the car. And the windows wouldd stop moving if you let go of the button. This meant that you needed line of sight, and to aim the key, which meant that you were much less likely to try and close the windows while unaware of someone having something in the way.
Wait, you have the AWD like me, but at around 90% you only have 340km of range left? At 90% I am still almost at 500km! How the heck are you driving this thing? 😀
Yeah.... I'm an aggressive driver lol. I also drive primarily on the highway, and it was still cold at night AND a lot of that guess was based on pulling a trailer. I'm now getting over 500km per charge.
My dislikes, I have to manually turn off my lane assist everytime I am driving along urban or rural roads, it tries to steer me into the ditches along the side of the road. Parking sensors on the rear keep detecting a phantom object, now days I always reverse park otherwise I cannot get out without it going into collision alert mode because it thinks there is a car behind me. Sometimes when I am reverse parking it still will not let me park because it detects an unidentified object behind me, this locks the car, vibration in steering wheel and sound the alarm it refuses to move, very frustrating. I don't like the fact that it keeps turning the radio on even though I have switched it off, everytime it comes on by itself, I have to turn the volume off, likewise even with temperate control off, sometimes it comes on, by itself, and then there is the navigation glitch, it gets confused and tries to orientate the map upside down, so instead of driving north it is going south, so as you are moving up the route it is moving down the route, but simple overide to this is to push the navigation button in again and reset your destination.
You calling the infotainment good conflicts with my experiences in my EV6 (the same system by the way). It is one of the main reasons why I actually got rid of it after 1 year of ownership. 1: I felt super slow, always that 0.5 to 2 seconds delay when you tap an icon. Add that many features/toggles are hidden 3-5 layers deep, it is in total seconds of waiting for the slow system to respond. The lag is even worse when you just get into the car and start it. So you want to quickly set your destination/music after getting in? No, wait for the lag first. 2: No proper customizable home screen or customization in general. If you want to talk about proper customization, look at BMW and VW systems (especially the new one in ID7/ID Buzz LWB). For example: With VW and BMW, you can put ambient light settings on a quick menu. 1-2 taps and done. With Kia/Hyundai you need to dig 5 layers into the system to change the colour of your ambient light. It is not user friendly at all. Swipe to right > Settings > Vehicle > Swipe down > Lights > Ambient light > Colour..... Come on.... And this is just 1 example of the, frankly dated, UI design of Hyundai Group cars. And remember, always that delay at every tap. 2.5: Kind of an extension of the former: No short cut/tray system for frequently used features, like you can in Tesla, BMW, VW etc. 3: Graphics are not that good. Resolution is alright but you can definitely see it is not super high. Not a major issue really. 4: Extremely dated and slow in-built navigation software that you NEED to use for battery pre conditioning. Searching for chargers/POI barely works, takes ages and then does not even clearly show where things are because the UI is so bad. My most hated feature in the car for sure. These, the poor battery pre conditioning (very weak heater so takes ages + only works above 20% SoC), and a few EV6 specific annoyances made me question whether it was a good buy. So I sold it.
Thx for the comment. You make some good points... But I've never had an issue with lag on this system nor my old 17 ioniqs system. And Hyundai is continually praised for is infotainment system by reviewers for its ease of use. So while you're right, some settings are multiple taps deep, most of it is generally still pretty easy to use. We'll have to agree to disagree on some of it.
Actually, rear daytime running lights are most definitely a thing. Not so much in North America... but in many other countries it's a legal requirement. I actually always keep my lights in the on position, so that the rear lights are also on. But doing so disables the auto high beams. Don't worry Buddy, I know what I'm talking about 😉
Honestly, no.... We're on the cross continental trip right now, and we've got tonnes of room in the trunk. For a midsize sedan, the trunk size is pretty much exactly what I'd expect.
@@edsgarage001 I have Bolt EUV that has technically bigger cargo space 16cuft vs Ioniq 6 only 11. 2 . I don't think i can fit baby's stroller in the trunk
Well the ioniq 6 isn't an SUV, so of course it's not going to have an SUV type trunk... For that you'd want the ioniq 5. But I've got two kids, so I'm familiar with strollers and this trunk can definitely accommodate a stroller as long as we're not talking a super duper double deluxe jogging stroller lol
What button??? If you're referring to the smart park, it won't move unless you first remote start, and to do that, you'd need to first hit the lock button then hold the remote start... Finally then you'd need to hold to smart park button. Even then, the car will detect objects in it's path and stop instantly. There's nothing dangerous about it
Yeah I don't get people that say stuff like that... I mean, there's cars out there that cost hundreds of thousands, let alone millions. These days, this car is actually extremely well priced for what you get compared to the competition.
Are you clairvoyant? Or is this a baseless assumption? My last 17 Hyundai Ioniq was still in tip top condition despite requiring next to no maintenance after 7 years and 120,000km. No creaks, squeaks or issues of any kind. You don't know what you're talking about.
@@edsgarage001 Totally agree... I bought my very first Hyundai in 2006 taking the risk, I was highly surprised about all the software and toys it came with for the price I paid. It was Sonata Limited. Since then, I have been buying other 8 cars from Hyundai. The only one I didn't like was the 2022 Tucson Hybrid. the suggested MPG was really off from 38 to barely 32. While in my Ionic 2019 Limited i said 49 MPG and I am still getting 48 - 50 MPG after 4.5 years. Really good quality!

That's correct. In Canada it's available but not in the USA.
@@edsgarage001 In Sweden there are plenty of them. Red is hard to get if you want AWD.
Here too
But lane change assist, as shown by every other reviewer, does not work if you don't have your hands on the wheel. So what's the problem.?
The problem is, that if you do have your hands on the wheel, it often doesn't know it unless you move your hand a bit.... But then it sometimes cancels anyway because it detected input.
I've found that it cancels the auto lane change far too often even with my hands on the wheel
I'm guessing the boot space is acceptable for a sedan as it wasn't in either list.
Yeah it's perfectly useable
@@edsgarage001 And deep.
Re: Seats. They probably don't want you to drain the battery without you in it. Heated steering wheel is a lot more useful when its cold - and is less of a power drain.
I don't think so... The heated seats are only about 20 watts.
Even with all 4 turned on, it would take a month and 10 days to use up all 77.4kwh of battery power
@@edsgarage001Do they draw from the 12V battery?
Yes
Pretty much everything but the traction motor runs off of the 12v battery. Witch is then kept charged by the traction battery through the inverter/converter/transformer unit.
But that's because every accessory made to run off electricity in a vehicle, is designed around the 12v architecture.
What colour?
Nocturne grey
I have only 2 dislikes and one of them relevant to Australia only - School zones warning at night super annoying! So easy to fix.
Second issue is no camera recording during the drive and parking. C'mon Hyundai - car has 4 cameras, just add one card reader with micro sd
I think it warns for school zones here in the evenings too.... I'll have to keep an eye out for that. No audible warning though, unless you turn that on.
I agree with the cameras, gotta be a way to do that fairly easily
Its a beautiful car lots to like...
Yep
Thank you Ed. I have a lot to learn about my Ioniq6. I can tell you right now, my doors have never unlocked themselves, I have to hit that little button on the door handle or use the remote. But my biggest dislike is that the doors don't lock itself when I walk away!! it irritates me. I've left it unlocked on the street quite a few times because I'm so use to driving a tesla. Also, why is there a power on button on an EV? I keep forgetting to hit that too when i'm done driving lol. Glad you love your car. I'm not sure I love it as much as my Tesla though. Maybe it needs more time. cheers
Thx for the comment!
There's a recall for the auto unlock. But also, you need to make sure it's enabled in the vehicle settings under "doors"
I'm so used to hitting the button that it doesn't really bother me at all.
The power button doesn't bother me either to be honest. Personally I prefer it as I don't need it to come to life everytime I get into the car.
It's all in what you're used to though. I mean, if you look at a Tesla objectively, they're far from perfect too, and I'm sure you can find things you'd rather were different.
you have running lights, they are off when the car is in park with a parking brake on. No tails though.
Yes,
I was referring to the tail lights.
Hmm... turn-assist is too slow? 4-5 seconds sounds about right to me. Where I live and drive/ride far too many drivers misunderstand what indicators are for. They seem to drive along (often slowly) waiting for a gap with no indication, then only indicate as they change lane (or even actually just while changing lane). Life as a driver gets SO much easier, and safer for others if you *indicate* your intention, THEN wait for the gap to do so safely, then change lanes. Yes, perhaps 4-5 seconds later.... or even more in heavy traffic.
Charging port on the right side. GREAT news at last for those of us driving on the left-side of road! 😆 BOTH of our current cars have the fuel tank cover on the left-side of the car, so I have ALWAYS needed to get out at the petrol station and walk around the back of the car. Will be so much easier now.
That's why it's things I personally dislike... Not what everyone dislikes 😊
The door handle sould close atomaticaly 15 sec after you move out of the car ... like american ÉV . The fact that door handle can be lefy open is facilitating people to get inside and steal yur belonging . a program should be made available to upgrade this option of automatique door lock after 15 or 30 second
If enough people complain about it, I'm sure it'll be updated to include that ability some day.
The 12 volts battery light is refecting on the front glass is a stupid localisation choose by the inside designer.
I'm not sure what you mean.... It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
👍👍😎
Thx for the comment!
I live in Canada so I was referring about here not your side...take a chill pill and don't get offended...
Who's offended? It's not like you mentioned in Canada in your comment. You just said that "rear dtrl aren't a thing"... I have viewers from all over the world, I have no idea where you're from or what market you're referring to.
I was just responding to your comment... 🤷 I wasn't offended at all lol 😂
no way that you can roll the windows down on the fob and not put them back up. Have you tried pressing and holding lock button? If that doesnt work try double clicking lock and hold.
Yep, none of that works 🤷
@@edsgarage001 thats so weird. since my comment I checked on some forums and apparently its for "safety" My Lincoln MKZ could roll windows down from the fob but it would lower and raise all 4, as well as open the panoramic roof, and it was a 2018, so I'm surprised the asians, which are normally at the forefront of innovations, are lagging behind 5 years later.
It doesn't really bother me to be honest
@@user-gb3jq1io2cI think it might be because it uses RF it doesn't require line of sight, which makkes the chances of a mishap higher. My family used to have a European car, model year 2000 IIRC, in Canada, where you could open and close the windows (and moonroof) with the key, but instead of the radio frequency transmitter/reciever (which it used for lock/unlock and alarm), it instead used a separate infrared transmitter on the end of the key and a receiver on each side of the car. And the windows wouldd stop moving if you let go of the button. This meant that you needed line of sight, and to aim the key, which meant that you were much less likely to try and close the windows while unaware of someone having something in the way.
Minor dislike. Next track on CarPlay is a down click on the steering wheel tab. It should be up. Everything else is up for + or advance.
I agree... Thought this was weird.
I'm used to it now mind you
Wait, you have the AWD like me, but at around 90% you only have 340km of range left? At 90% I am still almost at 500km! How the heck are you driving this thing? 😀
Yeah.... I'm an aggressive driver lol.
I also drive primarily on the highway, and it was still cold at night AND a lot of that guess was based on pulling a trailer.
I'm now getting over 500km per charge.
If you are in the UK, the charging door is on the driver’s side. 🤪
My dislikes, I have to manually turn off my lane assist everytime I am driving along urban or rural roads, it tries to steer me into the ditches along the side of the road. Parking sensors on the rear keep detecting a phantom object, now days I always reverse park otherwise I cannot get out without it going into collision alert mode because it thinks there is a car behind me. Sometimes when I am reverse parking it still will not let me park because it detects an unidentified object behind me, this locks the car, vibration in steering wheel and sound the alarm it refuses to move, very frustrating. I don't like the fact that it keeps turning the radio on even though I have switched it off, everytime it comes on by itself, I have to turn the volume off, likewise even with temperate control off, sometimes it comes on, by itself, and then there is the navigation glitch, it gets confused and tries to orientate the map upside down, so instead of driving north it is going south, so as you are moving up the route it is moving down the route, but simple overide to this is to push the navigation button in again and reset your destination.
You can permanently disable Lane keep assistance in the vehicle settings.
For the other things, I suggest you take it to the dealership and complain.
@@edsgarage001thanks I will definitely try that.
You calling the infotainment good conflicts with my experiences in my EV6 (the same system by the way). It is one of the main reasons why I actually got rid of it after 1 year of ownership.
1: I felt super slow, always that 0.5 to 2 seconds delay when you tap an icon. Add that many features/toggles are hidden 3-5 layers deep, it is in total seconds of waiting for the slow system to respond. The lag is even worse when you just get into the car and start it. So you want to quickly set your destination/music after getting in? No, wait for the lag first.
2: No proper customizable home screen or customization in general. If you want to talk about proper customization, look at BMW and VW systems (especially the new one in ID7/ID Buzz LWB). For example: With VW and BMW, you can put ambient light settings on a quick menu. 1-2 taps and done. With Kia/Hyundai you need to dig 5 layers into the system to change the colour of your ambient light. It is not user friendly at all. Swipe to right > Settings > Vehicle > Swipe down > Lights > Ambient light > Colour..... Come on.... And this is just 1 example of the, frankly dated, UI design of Hyundai Group cars. And remember, always that delay at every tap.
2.5: Kind of an extension of the former: No short cut/tray system for frequently used features, like you can in Tesla, BMW, VW etc.
3: Graphics are not that good. Resolution is alright but you can definitely see it is not super high. Not a major issue really.
4: Extremely dated and slow in-built navigation software that you NEED to use for battery pre conditioning. Searching for chargers/POI barely works, takes ages and then does not even clearly show where things are because the UI is so bad. My most hated feature in the car for sure.
These, the poor battery pre conditioning (very weak heater so takes ages + only works above 20% SoC), and a few EV6 specific annoyances made me question whether it was a good buy. So I sold it.
Thx for the comment.
You make some good points... But I've never had an issue with lag on this system nor my old 17 ioniqs system.
And Hyundai is continually praised for is infotainment system by reviewers for its ease of use. So while you're right, some settings are multiple taps deep, most of it is generally still pretty easy to use.
We'll have to agree to disagree on some of it.
what rear day time running light?there was never such a thing..only front...do it manually buddy.😅
Actually, rear daytime running lights are most definitely a thing. Not so much in North America... but in many other countries it's a legal requirement.
I actually always keep my lights in the on position, so that the rear lights are also on. But doing so disables the auto high beams.
Don't worry Buddy, I know what I'm talking about 😉
Sills inside the back doors gets dirty all the time.
Really? Hadn't noticed.
No coplains about super small trunk??
Honestly, no....
We're on the cross continental trip right now, and we've got tonnes of room in the trunk.
For a midsize sedan, the trunk size is pretty much exactly what I'd expect.
@@edsgarage001 I have Bolt EUV that has technically bigger cargo space 16cuft vs Ioniq 6 only 11. 2 . I don't think i can fit baby's stroller in the trunk
Well the ioniq 6 isn't an SUV, so of course it's not going to have an SUV type trunk... For that you'd want the ioniq 5.
But I've got two kids, so I'm familiar with strollers and this trunk can definitely accommodate a stroller as long as we're not talking a super duper double deluxe jogging stroller lol
@@edsgarage001 Agree but neither Bolt EUV is an SUV despite its name. Its just a hatchaback
Yes but it's still got a tall cargo area "like" an SUV. That's always going to help.
Looks like a mess to me
What does?
4:50 What if your kids are play5outskde and you have the keys in your pocket and happen to accidentally hit the button? Yo that shit is dangerous.
What button???
If you're referring to the smart park, it won't move unless you first remote start, and to do that, you'd need to first hit the lock button then hold the remote start... Finally then you'd need to hold to smart park button. Even then, the car will detect objects in it's path and stop instantly.
There's nothing dangerous about it
i can live with the dislikes :))
Yep me too
Can you live in the car? It cost more than your house.
@@jamman7344 dont know what box you live in that cost less than a car lol,, my area all homes are well over a million
Yeah I don't get people that say stuff like that...
I mean, there's cars out there that cost hundreds of thousands, let alone millions.
These days, this car is actually extremely well priced for what you get compared to the competition.
@@edsgarage001 ya it won car of the world award,, great machine i think
People
Plastic junk
You will see
Are you clairvoyant?
Or is this a baseless assumption?
My last 17 Hyundai Ioniq was still in tip top condition despite requiring next to no maintenance after 7 years and 120,000km. No creaks, squeaks or issues of any kind.
You don't know what you're talking about.
@@edsgarage001 Totally agree... I bought my very first Hyundai in 2006 taking the risk, I was highly surprised about all the software and toys it came with for the price I paid. It was Sonata Limited. Since then, I have been buying other 8 cars from Hyundai. The only one I didn't like was the 2022 Tucson Hybrid. the suggested MPG was really off from 38 to barely 32. While in my Ionic 2019 Limited i said 49 MPG and I am still getting 48 - 50 MPG after 4.5 years. Really good quality!
They've certainly come a long way!
