weird. I'm 6 feet tall and I find the back cramped in terms of headroom. I found the front to be totally fine though. Similar to the bmw i4 as well. These care are really not designed to comfortable fit taller adults in the back.
I can't speak for what you have experienced but I have not found the same. I have space above my head in the back. My brother and father are 6ft and also have no issues. The I4 and model 3, that I owned previously are more cramped than the I6.
I am a taller driver (193 cm or 6’4”.) I sat inside an Ioniq 6 last week; I found the front seat headroom to be sufficient provided there was no sunroof, The rear seat did not have good headroom though.
Sounds like a great daily for me- you usually don't need huge trunk, you drive same route so navi is not so important and you don't have much time for listening symphonic music, but the car is comfortable, fast charging and you can "enjoy the silence" 😉 Let's hope hyundai will study Bjorn's test and in short time they will upgrade software. Great job, as usual!!!
Hi Bjørn, thanks for yet another great video. I just wanted to point out that the infotainment is slightly less clumsy if you disable the split screen option. You can then view the energy consumption with fewer clicks.
It is so interesting. The increase/decrease of the autospeed is the same as in the classic Ioniq, the same for the lane assist, the slight left/right is the same 😀I have gotten so used to it, that I hardly notice anymore. And when it comes to all things software related, I hope that Hyundai hears the customers and does some changes in the OTA update.
Im not him but ioniq 6 is better if you're looking for perfect blance of technology, range, safety feature. If you want more speed, then you'd go for ev6 but it aint worth it since the ranage is so bad.
Test drove one as I'm very interested. I currently have a Model 3 LR. The most striking detail about the Ioniq 6 is the build quality. It's immaculately built and so much quieter than my M3. It's not even close. I wish Tesla would put some emphasis into both. Once I find an AWD at MSRP I'm upgrading.
I test drove a Ioniq 5 in Oct 2021 and the autosteer disengaged without warning on quite a few occasions even when going straight ahead. Im sure its improved since then but seeing it disengage with you in that tunnel without warning is not good. Its got plenty of beeps for other things but not that.
Interesting review. But, I challenge you to the pothole, you have not seen anything like the horrible roads we have here in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Also, is it possible that said heavier electric vehicles are making this worst?! :O. Not trying to stir up the crowd, but legit question. Our electric buses are at least 2.* heavier than their Diesel burning equivalent. I am off to try said Ioniq 6 this week and will be keeping an eye out for the auto-steeri, suspension feed back and steering feel.
Motorcars, even 2T EVs, are simply NOT the major cause of road damages. Look to your trucking industry; one large semi does the damage equivalent to thousands of 2T motorcars. Damage is to the fourth power of axle-load. Semis have 20-50 Tonnes over their 5-6 axles. Do the maths.
I'm in the US. Word is that Hyundai are horrible to deal with at the dealership level. I just heard a comment that they think they are selling Bugatti. I bought a Tesla just so that i didn't have to deal with dealership pain and suffereing (MSRP+a boatload of add ons). It would be nice to buy other brands and not have to deal with crooks and cons (car salesmen).
I personally love the cockpit-inspired design. You didn’t mention steering feel. How was it? Another reviewer, Automotive Press I think, said it felt Porsche like. The UI is convient for 99+% of uses while driving. I love the gear selector and assistant buttons on the wheel. The stack-less wheel design on Tesla is trash.
Nice series of tests again! It would be interesting to also (range) test the 53 KWh version of this car, since it is the most efficient currently in EV Database.
My very picky partner and my picky son liked the I6 and my son brought one (SE AWD or Preferred in Canada). He is loving it. Getting an average of 15.3 (4.1) efficiency even the mountains of British Columbia. My son is 6' 4" and the SE fits but he found the SEL (Ultimate) tight in the front seat. The back seat works for me with a longish torso (5'11") but not for him. I am on the wait list for the next one in town! We have tried Tesla and liked the Y but liked the Ioniq 6 more, especially since Tesla is going LFP in Canada and Canadian prices are not great. (love the Tesla charging and nav!!!)
Went to look at one and in real life looks ugly to me. I think it will age poorly. I also saw the 2024 Sonata in photos which is so pretty. Wish they electrified that instead. I'll hang onto to my ioniq5 fir now. Thanks for your honest thoughts.
Same here. The trunk is badly accessible and with the backseats down there are these weird plaric bulges on the sides so you can barely fit large items in it. Flow over function = no go for me (2019 Ioniq driver)
Thanks Bjorn, I am a little disappointed in the efficiency of this car. The EPA numbers appeared to make it more efficient than the Model 3, but it doesn't look that way at all. I don't know how the EPA came up with those numbers. I was hoping this was going to set the efficiency bar, but looks like it isn't happening. I would hope Hyundai will update the software to address the preconditioning, and some of the other glitchy things you found. Hopefully software updates can fix some of this. This is one that I think will have to be followed to find out if Hyundai is going to improve the situation. I like buttons, they need to be actual buttons and knobs that you can reach and feel them without looking at them. Totally agree with you. You can't have "buttons" that aren't really buttons and you have to look away. There are some execution misses here. I think I have to give the nod to the M3 for efficiency. Lots of things I don't like about the M3, but I won't sacrifice efficiency.
It's really cold there so the numbers won't be as good. In the summer this thing will go a long way. The EPA is a rough average given that temperature and speed play such large part with range.
I feel like this car has a lot of the compromises right especially considering it's quite reasonably priced. Fiddling with the sliders etc. on EV Database the sensible competitors seem to me to be the Tesla Model 3 and the VW ID.3 / Cupra. I think you've said it's noticeably more comfortable than the Model 3.. Does that also go for the ID.3? It's fair enough that some of the Mercedes and BMWs are smother etc. but then they're two of three times as much to buy so you jolly well ought to get plenty more luxury!
Like a boss! You cut through the Ionic 6 hype like a ninja. I was already leaning against buying because of the pathetic cargo space design, but you sealed the deal by pointing out numerous UX design and software issues.
Be careful, South Korean batteries are unsafe and prone to fire due to a shared defect inherent in the design of LG's battery tech, which is licensed by all South Korean battery makers. This defect has accounted for the vast majority of battery related recalls in EVs, some 200,000 and counting. Buyer beware.
Now its ok. LG chem used to get membrane from SK on to seperate anode and cathode. But LG chem and SK on had some patents law suit problems with each other. (both LG chem and SK on are battery companies). So LG chem decided to get membrane from Chinese company. And Chinese membrane caused defect and caused fire. Now LG chem solved law suit issues with SK on and now using membranes from SK on. So no need to worry about LG chem's batteries.
Korean batteries are much safer than Chinese batteries. That's becasue most Korean batteries are NCM and Chinese are LFP. LFP is very unstable with high C-rate (from above 1 C rate) condition compare to NCM. This is why LFP batteries are not suitable in EV. But Chinese auto makers are keep using LFP batteries on their EV on outside Chinese market. Why?? That's because there are no way to avoid NCM manufacturing patents that own by Korean companies.
@@yumyumlol-o7r I don't know who taught you chemistry, but LFP is inherently much safer the NCM. This is a fact. It's also a fact is that an investigation conducted by NHTSA concluded that LG's pouch design (also used by Samsung SDI and SK on) is defective. Furthermore, this defect has not been resolved, which is why GM has put its new battery plant on hold indefinitely and is now looking to abandon LG's pouch design entirely. Frankly, the safety problems with South Korean batteries have been going on for almost half a decade, and nothing has been done to effectively address them. I suspect the problems will not be resolved anytime soon because the design defect is so deep rooted that it'd be cost prohibitive to come up with a proper solution. They could of course switch to a different design entirely, but that would mean paying hefty license fees to China and Japan, because South Korea's intellectual property in batteries is absolutely paltry. For example, of the total 9862 battery patents that are in effect worldwide, China holds 5486, Japan holds 1192, and South Korea has only 595. In fact, I suspect the reason South Korean battery makers stuck with LG's defective pouch design is because it's the only design for which they own the intellectual property and for which they don't have to pay expensive licensing fees.

@@wwbdwwbd no. you don't know about battery industry at all. First of all, LFP is NOT safer than NCM in EV. LFP only safer in condition when C rate is 0 to1 .

I didn't see much hype for the I6 coming out of Europe and I dont think it will be a successful model for Hyundai in Europe. By European standards it's a useless car, just like Model 3. The Model 3 was still successful, but only because there were no options. Now that options are available, the M3 has fallen behind all the MEB cars and the Model Y. The I6 will not even take off, because of I5, Kona, EV6, Niro, MEB, etc. It's not as ugly as M3 or MY, but it is a very dull, boring and asian looking car. So, since it neither has practicality, nor affordability, nor the Tesla hype, nor styling going for it, who should buy it? I know, there are other markets like NA, where things are different, but I think in Europe this is a non-starter.
Aaaah. This time you left the traffic sign detection on. BING BING BING BING BING...! It's a complete nogo that you have to turn the detection completely off instead of being able to disable the noise or at least set a speed offset (speedo underreports 4kph at 100). No more auto adjusting during active cruise control and you don't even get to see what the car thinks the limit would be... God I hated my test drive so much - what a POS software in an okish car..
