Loving my Ioniq 6 SEL AWD I picked up last week. No EV tax credit, but Hyundai is giving a $7,500 manufacturer rebate to compete.

thats how they get you. ioniq6 is one of the worst selling car in north america. and its a loss leader. Hyundai lost ton of money but battery swap cost you 60,000.
@@dark6c159 There are only 2 people that that has happened to. And it happens to other EVs too. Like when tesla tried to charge a model 3 owner 50,000 because they didn't seal the battery correctly and it got flooded.
@@dark6c159 That was an outlier situation where some Canadian stealership was price gouging without obtaining proper pricing from Hyundai.

I’m an all around EV enthusiast and I love all the different set-ups and or engineering each manufacturer does to try and set their EV’s apart from other competitor’s.

Then obviously, there’s the more typical EV hating, wouldn’t step foot in one, to even the more extreme type’s that for no reason would walk past an EV pull a key/knife and slowly walk to the side of an EV and vandalize it(why???).

Give one a drive . . . it's so planted and solid feeling, it drives smooooth. I have the AWD but would have gotten the RWD but in Canada-land you can't be picky and not wait a long long time.
The Porsche 911 was my first thought (the design has come from an ex-Porsche designer) and that was what attracted me to it. I watched YT reviews of it for over a year, then finally bought it last August. I have NOT been disappointed; I love this car and would never go back to an ICE car.
22,000 miles in BC, Canada, AWD SE. It handles the snow, mountains, twisty roads, etc. The highway assist is really good even on our often iffy backcountry roads. Doesn't look like it's build for the rural backroads but it sure drives like a smoooth tank. In nicer weather I am getting 300 miles+ highway and 360+ city range.
I think I saw this has a Bose speaker system. I'm surprised the speakers aren't better. It sounded decent enough, but I've definitely heard this track sound better in other cars you've driven. I've no way to charge this car at home, so I'd have to stop by a nearby charger, but I'm still considering it. I love the look of it and I've only ever seen Ioniq 5s in the wild, so it feels doubly unique in that it's kinda rare. I guess that means it's not selling too well, but oh well. For me, so far, it's either this or the new Camry (probably the XSE just because I like to pretend I'm sporty).
Don't take much stock in the guess o' meter. It estimates range over a long period of time. This is why many reviewers pay attention to the battery percentage instead.
It's very, very cold and he's continuously punching the accelerator to show it off and play around. Being 10 degrees Fahrenheit will do that though lol
They do a lot of filming, after there is post production, meaning they will remove a lot of filming that they deemed not needed to be published, that's why you saw those numbers.
Similar thing will happen in your ice car, you just don't notice it in most because people just don't pay this much attention. For some reason it's a hyperfocus obsession when it comes to EV's but do you really glance at your fuel gauge every 2 minutes when driving? I certainly don't
*engine recalls have entered the chat* Look up the few billion dollar lawsuit against both brands and you might just realize that appearances don't tell real story.
I really do like this car. But the price is still out of reach for me and no dealerships near me are selling them. The new Volvo EX30 and Chevy Equinox EV have been on my radar though.
I’d buy one in a heartbeat if I can locate that under 20mph speaker and disconnect it. That is infuriating to hear INSIDE the cabin! Such a cool car otherwise. I’ve really come around on the styling. Hyundai is so chill with their traction control systems. My Hyundai Kona turbo was an absolute riot in the snow. Glad to see they haven’t changed this with their EV line.
@@XsaviXander they absolutely do not. Look into the amount of resources it takes to make one, the batteries and electrical parts are typically not recyclable and highly corrosive if disposed of improperly. Plus, EV's don't just get charged for free by thin air... look into where your electricity comes from and you'll be able to see just how wrong you are.
@@SerPurple51 "the batteries and electrical parts are typically not recyclable" Absolutely these are recyclable? Please do some research other than watching skynews. Electricity can be as clean or dirty as you want. You can invest in solar and battery home storage or simply choose a wholesale electricity provider who delivers electricity from much more renewable sources. Of course if you're in the US that might be different but here in AUS we have plenty of options for green energy...
Topher, I feel like the Toyota Camry isn’t talked about enough. 2023 summer I got a Brand new 23’ xse v6 Camry, black exterior red interior, fully loaded under 2500 msrp, and it looks nothing like a Camry you see on the road, stock too. The amount of features and the v6 power it offers is a joy to own plus the Toyota reliability. One of few Camrys we will miss for sure with the v6 gone for 2025 and the simplicity from the 23’ Camry, if you have a chance to get your hands on the xse v6 Camry I would highly recommend, especially a fully loaded model with the red interior!
@@dawsongranger4940 I own it, and it’s a great car to drive in sport mode, and for its value it’s easily the best midsize sedan in its class, reliability, simplicity, and feature wise. Even tho it’s not quicker than the sonata n line or 2.0t accord it has the smoothness over those 2 and it’s more reliable, plus it has the power on the highway when you need it
Gloves. Show me a review where the driver is wearing winter gloves. When it's 10 below and especially without a heated steering wheel, I'll be wearing a nice, warm pair and I had better be able to safely operate my vehicle without faffing about.
on the .0001% chance that someone from Hyundai ever reads this.... as a current Hyundai hybrid owner... GET RID of that stupid BONG BONG BONG sound while in reverse that seems to now be an unfortunate standard thing on your BEVs and hybrids...or do a software update that gives the driver the ability to turn that part of the pedestrian awareness sound OFF within the infotainment system. I understand the federal requirement for an audible alert for the visually impaired ... so fine keep the "singing angels" noise while in reverse but please "banish the bong." There are plenty of other '24 model year hybrid and pure BEVs out there that do not make this type of a sound while in reverse. Pulling in or out of my rental condo garage late at night / early in the morning is a complete PITA.
The hate on Tesla is really absurd at this point, people can’t talk about ev’s without mentioning Tesla and that’s how you know Tesla is good. It’s like how everytime you mention basketball you bring up Lebron in all conversations because he’s the GOAT. Tesla lives rent free in everyone’s head and it’s hilarious 😭😭😭. Rivian is the second best my dad has both Tesla and Rivian and no other ev besides the Mach-e and ionqic 5 are up there. Even the Porsche is not built to be an EV or BMW. The polstar is built as a Volvo first and ICE car before actually built to be an EV.
I own 2023 Ioniq 6 AWD LIMITED. 4 months old 700 miles on it. I paid 54k MSRP. It’s now worth on trade in from any dealer including selling dealer, carvana and Tesla to be $23,000. EV’s values are in the shitter and getting worse by the minute. A massive EV REPO explosion is coming. As they’re losing thousands of dollars in value monthly and people will stop making payments on something worth nothing. Take the credit hit for a REPO and go by an ice car. It’s coming…
Of course you're going to get bad offers for trade-ins... Just sell it yourself. I see plenty Ioniq 6's with more miles than that going for about 32K. Cars are depreciating assets. You're not going to flip them like houses and make money.
I see another biased person who has mo idea what they are yapping about. Honda having massive recalls they can't even sell you car, Toyota price skyrocketed and giving you less for more money, my 2017 civic had a factoy issue with the ac system I had to pay for. Friends MDX had infotainment issue up until it was stolen (so was my civic) so maybe you should stop being biased and live in reality. Cause every dealership in the world want to be hyundai RN I litery just did an event for dealerships across Canada and the big message was "who is going to be the next hyundai/kia" so u tell me who's bad and who's not cause rn HYUNDAI is the #1 car brand in the world.
@@peachulemon lmao, meanwhile Hyundai/Kia are recalling engines and batteries that catch fire. It's funny how you harp on Honda A/c or Infotainment, when the brand you're trying to prop up fails on those points, and then some. Also on cost, Hyundai is no longer competitive. This car is 46k, is is really better than a Camry or Accord?
@@peachulemon💯... I've owned Honda, Acura, Infiniti and now a 2020 Kia Optima. My young daughter got Grandma's 2010 Hyundai Elantra. It has 80k and it's still on its original brakes. Oil changes, tires, wipers and battery are the only maintenance issues and haven't had a single problem. I hear these stories, but yet our experience with these cars has been with stellar reliability. If all the nonsense from Hyundai, Kia haters was actually true, I don't think they would be at the top of sales volume worldwide. For me, I will be sticking with the brand and if I want a higher level of experience, I'll get a Genesis.
@@peachulemonYou mean the #1 stolen car in the world, because of their negligence of installing immobilizers in the majority of their vehicles making them easy to steal with just a USB. They’re uninsurable in some states in the US. No brand is without fault, but Honda, Toyota, Mazda are FAR ahead in dependability and value than any Hyundai/Kia product. Look up the Theta II engine issues, millions of junk motors that are ticking time bombs sold to customers. Heck, a quick search in the Hyundai/Kia subreddit will leave you questioning how they even sell vehicles. They’re not that great. I’d still rather have a Hyundai / Kia over any GM/FCA/Ford product, but to say they’re better than Honda/Toyota is ignorant, and extremely biased on your part.
Loving my Ioniq 6 SEL AWD I picked up last week. No EV tax credit, but Hyundai is giving a $7,500 manufacturer rebate to compete. I was going to grab a ‘23, but those have a stop sale due to a recall. Those are $12,500 off. So, the dealer gave me more off on a ‘24 to make the deal comparable.

You can invest in solar and battery home storage or simply choose a wholesale electricity provider who delivers electricity from much more renewable sources. Of course if you're in the US that might be different but here in AUS we have plenty of options for green energy...
Topher, I feel like the Toyota Camry isn’t talked about enough. 2023 summer I got a Brand new 23’ xse v6 Camry, black exterior red interior, fully loaded under 2500 msrp, and it looks nothing like a Camry you see on the road, stock too. The amount of features and the v6 power it offers is a joy to own plus the Toyota reliability. One of few Camrys we will miss for sure with the v6 gone for 2025 and the simplicity from the 23’ Camry, if you have a chance to get your hands on the xse v6 Camry I would highly recommend, especially a fully loaded model with the red interior!
Most car reviewers don’t like the v6 Camry because it doesn’t feel good to drive with its poor transmission tuning and lack of an lsd or AWD
@@dawsongranger4940 I own it, and it’s a great car to drive in sport mode, and for its value it’s easily the best midsize sedan in its class, reliability, simplicity, and feature wise. Even tho it’s not quicker than the sonata n line or 2.0t accord it has the smoothness over those 2 and it’s more reliable, plus it has the power on the highway when you need it
@@dawsongranger4940 it’s still a much better car than the 2.0t accord imo
Who cares about AWD (good tires can compensate) - the best of the bang for buck is this one. Everybody should be demanding more range and 2WD.
Gloves. Show me a review where the driver is wearing winter gloves. When it's 10 below and especially without a heated steering wheel, I'll be wearing a nice, warm pair and I had better be able to safely operate my vehicle without faffing about.
They make gloves that work with touchscreens brother
How is paron parking
Dang, i want this car so bad lol
Still seems like lots of road / wheel noise, unfortunately.
The exterior doesn’t look all that great , but the interior is nice.
i like comfy! =)
That really sounded like a dodge color😂😂 Go mango / Transmission blue
This car looks like a Saab and an Infiniti J30 had a baby. 😂
True dat!
No heated steering wheel in an almost $50k USD EV is lame, but other wise the Korean EV options really seem to the the best
There is no tax credit for Americans unless the car is made in the US.
I wish Hyundai/Kia sold any of these EVs in hybrid or PHEV.
on the .0001% chance that someone from Hyundai ever reads this.... as a current Hyundai hybrid owner... GET RID of that stupid BONG BONG BONG sound while in reverse that seems to now be an unfortunate standard thing on your BEVs and hybrids...or do a software update that gives the driver the ability to turn that part of the pedestrian awareness sound OFF within the infotainment system. I understand the federal requirement for an audible alert for the visually impaired ... so fine keep the "singing angels" noise while in reverse but please "banish the bong." There are plenty of other '24 model year hybrid and pure BEVs out there that do not make this type of a sound while in reverse. Pulling in or out of my rental condo garage late at night / early in the morning is a complete PITA.
An EV from a car company. I am all for that.

The hate on Tesla is really absurd at this point, people can’t talk about ev’s without mentioning Tesla and that’s how you know Tesla is good. It’s like how everytime you mention basketball you bring up Lebron in all conversations because he’s the GOAT. Tesla lives rent free in everyone’s head and it’s hilarious 😭😭😭. Rivian is the second best my dad has both Tesla and Rivian and no other ev besides the Mach-e and ionqic 5 are up there. Even the Porsche is not built to be an EV or BMW. The polstar is built as a Volvo first and ICE car before actually built to be an EV.
Same price as Model Y, Hyundai needs to do better as a value car maker.
I own 2023 Ioniq 6 AWD LIMITED. 4 months old 700 miles on it. I paid 54k MSRP. It’s now worth on trade in from any dealer including selling dealer, carvana and Tesla to be $23,000.
EV’s values are in the shitter and getting worse by the minute.
A massive EV REPO explosion is coming. As they’re losing thousands of dollars in value monthly and people will stop making payments on something worth nothing. Take the credit hit for a REPO and go by an ice car.
It’s coming…
Of course you're going to get bad offers for trade-ins... Just sell it yourself. I see plenty Ioniq 6's with more miles than that going for about 32K. Cars are depreciating assets. You're not going to flip them like houses and make money.
46k? Brah…
With cloth seats.
They’re doing a $7,500 manufacturer rebate, and probably will be for some time to compete.
It's not 2004 anymore. That's about the average price for a new car in the US.
2004 ? This is post pandemic pricing nonsense. Don't cope.@@h0gheadS
Hyundai and Kia’s reputation on being reliable . Is questionable. Pass . …great review.
absolutely
I see another biased person who has mo idea what they are yapping about. Honda having massive recalls they can't even sell you car, Toyota price skyrocketed and giving you less for more money, my 2017 civic had a factoy issue with the ac system I had to pay for. Friends MDX had infotainment issue up until it was stolen (so was my civic) so maybe you should stop being biased and live in reality. Cause every dealership in the world want to be hyundai RN I litery just did an event for dealerships across Canada and the big message was "who is going to be the next hyundai/kia" so u tell me who's bad and who's not cause rn HYUNDAI is the #1 car brand in the world.
@@peachulemon lmao, meanwhile Hyundai/Kia are recalling engines and batteries that catch fire. It's funny how you harp on Honda A/c or Infotainment, when the brand you're trying to prop up fails on those points, and then some. Also on cost, Hyundai is no longer competitive. This car is 46k, is is really better than a Camry or Accord?
@@peachulemon💯... I've owned Honda, Acura, Infiniti and now a 2020 Kia Optima. My young daughter got Grandma's 2010 Hyundai Elantra. It has 80k and it's still on its original brakes. Oil changes, tires, wipers and battery are the only maintenance issues and haven't had a single problem. I hear these stories, but yet our experience with these cars has been with stellar reliability. If all the nonsense from Hyundai, Kia haters was actually true, I don't think they would be at the top of sales volume worldwide. For me, I will be sticking with the brand and if I want a higher level of experience, I'll get a Genesis.
@@peachulemonYou mean the #1 stolen car in the world, because of their negligence of installing immobilizers in the majority of their vehicles making them easy to steal with just a USB. They’re uninsurable in some states in the US.
No brand is without fault, but Honda, Toyota, Mazda are FAR ahead in dependability and value than any Hyundai/Kia product. Look up the Theta II engine issues, millions of junk motors that are ticking time bombs sold to customers. Heck, a quick search in the Hyundai/Kia subreddit will leave you questioning how they even sell vehicles. They’re not that great.
I’d still rather have a Hyundai / Kia over any GM/FCA/Ford product, but to say they’re better than Honda/Toyota is ignorant, and extremely biased on your part.
0:51 Hyundai and Kia EVs are not eligible for the tax credit.
MSRP: $45,500
Battery Replacement: $46,000
Why would you need to replace the battery? This isn't a remote control
Warranty
Love the dash without the idiot iPad. Physical buttons rule.
Damn that thing is hideous lmao
EV's 🤮
You do realize with the weight of this car sliding around will destroy those tires in thousands of miles. I own the car I know.
Evs do like to shred tires
if u hit a bump it can cost u
this is the "youll own nothing and be happy" version of cars. Youll never be able to afford insurance or battery replacement so you lease it
