The impression I get from Ioniq 6 after seeing bunch of reviews, including this one, is something like… you get 80% of a BMW/Mercedes/Porche for 50% of the price.
Hmm, not so good. Doesn’t dim for signs, doesn’t turn for corners and bends. The low resolution hurts on a curvy main road especially if there is a car somewhere in front.
It is a question of cost. I have xenon turning headlights, but with modern LED they might aswell just install some more LED modules for broader beam instead of having turning lights.
Citroën had adaptive headlights as standard in mass produced cars 60 years ago, and they had lights that did not only follow the horizontal steering movement but also compensated for vertical movement over 50 years ago. But these lights were still much, much worse than what this Hyundai and most other current cars have. I owned cars (German cars too!) that had high beams we would consider adequate as daytime driving lights these days. Improvement is gradual, with some cars doing better in one area and others do better in others. I have an Ioniq 5 with supposedly terrible lights, but I find them perfectly fine, even compared with BMW Laser Lights, and I've never ever had anyone flashing at me when on auto high beam on thousands of motorway kilometres at night. Sure, there are better lights available, but it's not a day and night difference. We have such a German Wunderwaffe in our fleet, and while the light is somewhat better, it's still more tiring to use, because you get shitstormed by oncoming traffic under certain conditions. All in all it doesn't matter that much.
The lights are the worst part on my ioniq 5. In the dark and very twisty mountain roads is really like having no lights. The "matrix" lights don't seem to make it much better. The very bright spot is in the middle as well. TLDR: Korean Headlights suck.
Really bad headlights. It is very dangerous this concentration in the middle of the road. What is the point of lighting at 500m? I prefer to illuminate the danger, rather than illuminate at ridiculous distances.
This car will max out at almost 200kph. At this speed you need to be able to see 500m ahead in order to be able to come to a safe stop when coming across congestion or an accident.
if idioxx do a test - something comes out.... no idea about technology but chatting... first : Matrix light is NOT a cornering light! Matrix light HAS no cornering light! Kia and Hyundai also say nowhere that there are cornering lights. "Matrix" is a term/name that Audi has protected. If customers of a car brand really want Matrix light - the manufacturer can buy a license (for the name) from Audi. And then call his lights Matrix... He can do that - but he doesn't have to. What is "matrix light" ? As already written: Just a name. A designation. NO special technique. It's the same technology that VW, or BMW, or Mercedes, or Tesla .... ororor use: The headlights are dimmed automatically/selectively/sensor-controlled. Well with some manufacturers (Audi - who called their headlight technology "Matrix" and had that name trademarked) or VW (who install EXACTLY THE SAME headlights (but do NOT call their headlights Matrix) ), there are better headlights than Audi (BMW, Mercedes...) and worse (all Asian manufacturers, all French/English ones (everything that isn't VW or Audi - or better than these)

Nice. I also agree 7/10 is accurate score for this highbeam.
In Australia, the headlight beam is deliberately tipped low towards the centre of the road so that you won’t blind oncoming traffic that’s deliberate
Same law applies in Sweden, no main beam with street lights on, works fine with the 2020 Ioniq
The farm people will throw a party when you move to jessheim. Finally no more strange lightfenomen at nights
Why don't you flash at the farmhouse anymore? It would've been a good reference compared to other tests that did so.
Viewers started whining about that matter here on the comments more and more often so B changed the spot.
@@Mariini That sucks.
What is your thought which EV has best lights? Maybe in 2 category regular LED and Matrix led.
The Ariya has amazing head lights. One of the reasons I picked it over the Ioniq 5.
@@MaxDrougge I'm waiting Skoda Enyaq 80x with Matrix lights, it should also have great lights.
Does anyone know if they use the same light system on the GV70 electrified?
Hmm, not so good. Doesn’t dim for signs, doesn’t turn for corners and bends. The low resolution hurts on a curvy main road especially if there is a car somewhere in front.
Probably can't see it properly on youtube as it is in reality, but these lights are tragic. It's a shame to compare to the lights in German cars.
❤❤❤
Looks a little bit disappointing on such new car. I had turning xenon headlights already 10 years ago and now they cannot do it with leds in new cars?
Sure they can, in Germany. 😊

Doesn't seem anywhere near as good as the id7 matrix lights

Poor Doug.
Another car with a bad aiming from the factory. They’re set too low.
This is bad. In Europe you have a lot of twisty roads and you really need a wider spread.
Not a good light...
