Thanks for watching!
Huge props to Hyundai for making an EV that's not huge. Also I love how it looks like an old 911 from behind.
I’ve seen these more on the road and the more I see them the more I love them. They just have a really interesting presence especially with that light bar and the front amber DRLs when it get a little darker. They look menacing sometimes and it’s fun to see that not everyone is going to do EV hatches or SUVs. There is still a sedan market and EVs are perfect for them
they really need to address the lack of wireless android auto and apple carplay. wired systems get old in a hurry once you experienced the wireless variety.
YES! Especially at that price point! What a rip off!
Hyundai is planning to include wireless Apple carplay and Android Auto for next years models
Wireless dongle?
@@Skecysexactly
Maybe. But from my experience its either functional or unable to connect.
Plug in EVs are here to stay, even though manufacturers got a little overeager in production increases. Will see steady growth and improvement for the next few decades!
They didn't get eager. The market suddenly softened so they paused some plans. It was projected that growth would be explosive. But it's been a steady climb despite soft sales.
@@xaionikthat's really what I was saying: They misjudged how fast things would grow. EVs still growing very fast in overall numbers, just not as fast from a % standpoint as before.
@@xaionik Market softened due to rising interest rates, which applies to ICE as well. Nothing to do with lack of EV demand relatively speaking. Trend is upwards overall.
hey ! I already posted this on another video but I figured out you're more likely to see this here XD ! the eco mode disconnects completely the front motors from the wheels via a sort of clutch, to be exactly like the rwd version. In the normal mode, it's the same but the motor is only used when accelerating hard. in sport mode it's always connected. though, the regen braking works in a way that it turns the lotors into generators and the objective of ipedal is to give you the most regen braking, and the more motors, the more braking. that means that in ipedal, no matter the drive mode, both motors are constantly connected, so if you want to be very efficient on the highway, don't use ipedal, every other regen modes are okay tho ! also, great content like always !!
Been in and out of this recently, and it is even cooler in person. I just love the design so much! Also, way bigger than i thought it would be, i would like sedan or hatchback Ioniq but smaller than the 5 and 6.
Love my Limited. Only reason why I don't mind going to work. :)
Great review as always sir. Love your content and quality of videos.
It's just baffling how they choose to kill the range with those 20 inch wheels. I know people like it but damn, it cuts nearly 56 miles of range just for aesthetics compared to the 18 inches, not a great trade off imo. It's frustrating especially because I want everything in the luxury package EXCEPT those wheels
Wouldn’t be too much of an extra coat when they need to be changed to bite the bullet and go down to 18s would it?
I mean the wheels don’t really hurt it since it has a really good drag coefficient
Don't believe the official numbers, l get over 300 miles on every charge, and the 20 inch wheels handle better when driven for fun
@@darrylbradley5426 agreed
@darrylbradley5426 H/K/G underrates the range of their EVs. If I were getting the I6, I will get the SE RWD Long Rang to get that near Lucid-like range.
Can’t wait for the 6N 😍 that will be the car of my dreams
It’s going to be wild
That is definitely a unique looking vehicle. I can't say it's ugly or bad, but certainly not the most beautiful thing either.
I applaud Hyundai for doing something different and not just blending in like every other car or SUV.
go look up
Overheating Charge Ports on Ioniq 5/Ioniq 6/EV6/GV60
Hyundai KIA EVs are no go
@@dark6c159 oh I'm well aware of the issues EV's have. I do not like them and don't believe they're the future of automobiles. I was speaking purely about the styling of the car.
I daily an Ioniq 5 SEL and it's been a real pleasure. Like this 6 it's been comfortable, quiet, efficient and fun to drive. I did upgrade my front speakers to a JL Audio component set and that really solved the one major gripe that I had with the car. Thanks for the POV review, Topher.
I drive an Ioniq 5 in SE Michigan and am tempted to switch to this next summer when my existing lease is up. I just love that design language. Also, props for defending EVs around the 9:55 mark - all great points!
love it or hate it, it's a sign that hyundai is really getting their act together.
The interior door card is drop-dead gorgeous. I can't get over it. And the way it cuts into itself at knee area for both design and space (and speakers!).
2:53 ....anyone gonna say it?
😂
I love your videos, so grounded and nice. You drive cars that most people don't typically review and I love that!
This car looks like a ladybug to me, can't unsee.
I hate the Porche and Mercedes design.
Just noticed this video was filmed on my birthday 🎉
Absolutely love this car, I daily drive the SEL RWD in the same color! I have a bit of an issue where I get bored of cars pretty quickly and will usually buy a new one within 4 to 6 months. That issue seems to have gone away earlier this year, it feels pretty unique to drive around and is fun compared to the other cars I've driven. I've been happy with it and I'm sure my wife has been happy that I haven't had the urge to buy another new car lol
Bro, the design of this ioniq is out of this world
Wonderful job, as always. Question: do you think the wireless charging wasn't cooperating because you had your phone plugged in? Having both going at the same time gives me anxiety about overheating the phone, but I have evidence to support that theory.
At the LA auto show just this week, this car was priced at $37,500.
in korea theres a big issue about this ioniq 6s build quality. front hood to be specific. apparently water will get into the interior through the air filter if u take this into auto car wash. maybe its fixed? dunno
I really like the looks/specs of these.
The N version should be pretty sweet. Making me a bit less depressed about EVs.
Fantastic review production quality was fantastic and no dumb intros or anything of the sort. Also nice radio voice. Gosh i cannot wait until i buy one of these cars in white hopefully with a NACS built in.
Recently got a LR RWD on a lease. Coming from a Model 3 i am a bit conflicted. I still prefer Tesla UI and ease of use but the Ioniq is sooo much comfortable and quiet (even with the 20s)
That's a really cool design and unique damn
You didn't like the shape of the steering wheel but you drove it like it was your best friend. Bravo
Its really nice but I just couldn't be convinced to buy an EV at this point, my 3 biggest problems with EVs, first of all the prices are outrageous, almost 60k for a midsize Hyundai sedan, yeah, no way. Second is the range only 270mi, I still get almost 400mi out of a tank in my 2017 Lexus GX, with a 4.6L V8. Lastly is the charging situation, where I live I don't have a place in my garage to install a charger, and I couldn't deal with the hours it would take for an EV to fully charge, when I can just take my GX to a gas station and fill up in 5 minutes. And dont take this as me hating on electric cars, cause im not. All that im saying is that there are still major flaws with these EVs that is preventing most people from buying them.
That’s why you lease this car not finance. It has amazing lease deals.
@@FSXflyermaster The other issues are still there for a lot of people, probably the majority, even if you'd get an EV for free.
Completely agree with you. We're probably still another 10 years until the full support is there. For those who live in apartments, the idea of having to wait an hour to charge the car in a random spot is not ideal. And I keep hearing most stations suck!
Solving point three would solve point 2
The rear of the vehicle looks like it was inspired by Porsche.
more like copying porsche
The Koreans only copy, they did the same thing with Bentley by creating Genesis
this is a car they should be proud of because it is the only EV i would consider getting
looks almost CITROEN DS like
I really want to like EVs, but I drive 25000 miles per year. I feel like the battery would be used up around the time I get it paid off.
The window switches are dumb - I would rather have an extra storage cubby there
7:25 Speaking of, I find Peugeot's steering wheel odd looking. Does that bother the driving experience? Just curious:)
❤❤❤ LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
Electric SAAB 900
The fact that this thing costs $56K but doesn't have a heads up display is ridiculous.
Only in the US it doesn't
Looks like one of those cars from Cyberpunk 2077. There’s one that looks almost exactly like the EV6 from the back.
i know this is old but did you find the steering at 30+ mph to be overly heavy and kind of 'sticky'?
Funny that the Top of the line XC40/C40 electric is the same price as the top of the line Ioniq 6 in my country. Both costing 72k USD. Wonder what is your opnion or comparison between the two. I know the size and the catagory don't really match up.
Ioniq 6 is currently experiencing water leakage issues in Korea.
Nice car but i dont like the center controles for the windows and locks not good for kidnapping imo
it looks like a gaming mouse
Ha,ha your "duck walking" made me seasick.
looks like they snagged one of prosche's car designers. I can some retro 911 influence on the design. Interior looks good to
7:40 good point!!!!!
911 sedan
I tried to buy one recently but the dealer wanted $8,000 over MSRP so I walked. Canada BTW
So the government wants us to buy EVs and they're marking them up... Smart 🤦🏽
I don't even like EVs anyway
that rear end is something else lmao
I feel like your EV reviews are very different from your ICE reviews and provide much less comparison between relevant cars (both EV and ICE) and fewer objective opinions, particularly on handling. They always spend so much time talking about how different these cars are from ICE, but then the entirety of the analysis of the handling is that it "handles well." But the model 3 "handles well" and the Taycan "handles well" and from these reviews I don't feel like I get a real sense of how these cars differ in driving feel/engagement. I'd love for you to incorporate more of that type of analysis into you EV videos!
what is that wizardry that you're doing at the end?
The key fob on many new kia/genesis/hyundai has a button to automatically inch the car forward or backwards, in case someone parks too close for you to easily get in. It's a neat party trick but of little real value/use outside of specific use cases
No wireless car play at $57k is crazy
One major problem with the exterior: Drooping butt end is rather butt ugly.
Has Saab 900 vibes. Hasn't grown on me yet styling-wise. Also haven't seen one in person though.
Oh hell yeah that’s a better comparison than 911. I get super giddy when I see 900’s on the road still. Such a Swedish design and I love them
Same, they're so quirky and cool.
You can change the units on this cars??
After 1 million videos, nobody knows what the Topher looks like.
He doesn't hide his face, it's just not a prominent feature of his channel.
Can it be stolen with a USB flash drive?
no it has a keyless start
The position of the gear selector is very very dangerous for the driver imo.
One reflexive move of your right leg and boom its gone :(
ah man, its got a door ding 😒
What’s the weird dots on the steering wherl
Explained in the video - 4 dots = "H" in Morse code.
They need to really go all in sci-fi wise and makes the car noise something that’s already been done well in animated sci-fi cars!!
poor's man porsche taycan
Amazing tourq = frequent tire replacement!! All the gas savings go up in smoke! Lol
Really love this masterpiece, but hyundai got zero localization and no app in my country which makes me feel annoying
Drove an AWD SEL and loved everything about it - BUT the miniscule trunk (thanks to its droopy butt) is a deal-breaker.
Was quite impressed by this, the Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6, but I felt that all had terrible stereo systems (even the higher trim ones). The higher trim systems in the Mach E and the Polestar 2 are so much better.
I was with you until you said $57,000. I could get a proper luxury car for that price. Insane!
Looks insane, imagine if it came with an ICE or hybrid drivetrain
Man they are due for a logo change. Car is incredible but the logo ehhhh. Same with the Kia K5. Amazing car but terrible old logo. new logo looks icnredible
Infiniti J30 vibes if anyone remembers that one.
Door close sounds cheap
What an eyesore
57K??? More $$ than brains lol
"Good turning radius"?!?!?! I just parked my Ioniq 6 and I thought "that is the only thing I hate about this car, that it has this huge radius!!!".
Intriguing car, but plagued with the typical EV issues of weight and price. Getting close to 5,000lbs and $57,000. Sorry that price isn't going to cut it. Nice car, but $30k more expensive than a Camry Hybrid, that's terrible from a value perspective and difficult to justify. Just my opinion but EVs aren't going to live up to their promise until the next generations of battery technology can be introduced and scaled. Once we can move away from high levels of lithium as the main material, it'll be a bright future for EVs.
These are neat
JUNK!
porsche
look like KIA
Not copied from Porsche at all!
please tell me you have some more exciting cars coming soon...I can't bring myself to watch a 20 min pov of a Hyundai EV
STAY AWAY FROM HYUNDAI!!! The high voltage battery in my 2017 Sonata PHEV died under warranty when the car was only four years old with 42,000 miles. Hyundai refused to repair or replace the battery under warranty. I had to go through non lemon law arbitration to have the vehicle repurchased, which I won easily. However, Hyundai then decided to miscalculate the repurchase amount and attempted to underpay me by $2000.00. This forced me to go through arbitration a second time, which I won (again). The whole process took 18 months…No loaner. If you own a Hyundai…Sell that piece of crap while you can…
Better than tesla !
ioniq 6 looks like a copy version of paramera
Just a salesman' s POV and nothing else, no critical thinking.
Rather have inlines than EVs smh
한국인입니다
길에서 보면 진짜 바퀴벌레 같이 생겨서 진짜 토나옵니다
Mark my words- in 10 yrs this will be in the books with PT Cruiser, Pontiac Aztec, and Nissan Cube as the ugliest cars ever created.
I’m sure it’s a great car nonetheless
Which is worse, this or the toyota crown?
That airbag in the steering wheel looks like a pig nose 🐽
it simply looks horrible
Kia is better than Hyundai in design
This car is so so so ugly (exterior)- the truth
The interior is cool
I'm no EV fan but I have to admit this is one of the nicer ones out there. Most EVs are ugly exterior wise but if I had no other choice I'd get this one.
That is such an ugly car.
