I ‘crashed’ the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 ๐Ÿ˜

Presenting the brand new 6!

It's the follow-up to the excellent 5, and Mat's about to discover if the 6 has what it requires to match the popularity of its predecessor!

Beginning with the style, you clearly won't be mistaking either automobile for the other. The Ioniq 6 has a sleek, swooping body style, paired with double spoilers at the back. It comes with a pixelated light style similar to the 5, although it also has a little a weird rear bumper design. The sleek appearances continue around the front, and all-in-all it's pretty clever! It even comes with vents which stay closed when the cars and truck's driving at sluggish speeds.

On the inside the style is quite comparable to the Ioniq 5 – but that's not a bad thing! There are good quality products across the dash, and a big infotainment & digital dial dual screen mounted to the middle of it. A centre console has actually been contributed to the 6, which features a great quantity of storage and a number of physical buttons.

There's just one battery available, a 77kWh pack which is supposedly helpful for 338 miles of variety. There will be two variations of the Ioniq 6 available – a rear-wheel drive edition that produces 228hp, or a four-wheel drive edition that can put down 325hp.

The cost of the Ioniq 6 is pretty similar to the 5, beginning with โ‚ค 47,000. However is it the noteworthy to buy in 2023? Or should you pick something like a Model 3 or 6 instead? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

      @Asif Khan Believe me, I’m driving IONIQ 5 for the second winter and I never felt sorrow about the lack of the rear wiper. If that’s the deal breaker for you, I promise you, once you get the car, that won’t be. I’m more pissed by the lack of the headlight sprinklers than the rear wiper.

    Are roads in town in the UK tight in general? I always have that feeling whenever Mat is reviewing a car in town. At least that is how it looks, compared to The Netherlands, where I live. Great car btw. Don’t even mind the double spoiler, but would take the Ionic 5 as well.

      Ligt er aan grote steden prima ruimte over het algemeen de kleinere steden/dorpen zin vaak smaller maar komt vaak ook dat er veel autoโ€™s geparkeerd staan half op de stoep en half op de weg.

      @David W same but I think some roads in the UK are ridiculously narrow compared to the Netherlands only exception being the roads which are mainly just walkways with some parking (canal areas). Central London is bad but not as bad as some of the roads in ye olde town Townships in Kent

      In comparison to some countries, they are likely narrower, but that being said, I’m a lorry driver in UK. All these car drivers talking about how “tight” our roads are are completely naive.

    The Chinese market is probably the most important to the BEV Automakers. Part of the reason sedans have more appeal. VW under performed in sales in China, because their ID line was more SUV like. No surprise the Hyundai Ionic 6 and the new VW ID7 are Sedans.

    That left mirror scene reminds me of my uncle in his Ranger, he was doing a reverse maneuver and he never looked at his screen and we all asked why he didn’t and he just said “I don’t trust it, I rather use my mirrors”.

      @Lawrence Garikaiy It’s amazing how everyone’s tastes differ. I think the Ionic 6 is hideous. The 5 looks kind of cool. I like the Model 3’s looks over both the Ionic 5 or 6.

    It looks like what people would imagine a Porsche 911 would look like in the year 2000 when the first Porsche 911 was released

      Funny that in reality the 911 looked exactly the same in 2000 and the year it launched sometime in the 70s

    In defense of annoying thing #2, I think if you have the wheel at that lower setting, your torso is probably a little shorter than Mat’s, so it might just work out for you in term of seeing the speedometer.

      Had the same issue with Ioniq 5 test drive, the actual defense for that annoying thing is the digital Heads-Up Display

    Just came back from holiday in Korea. In Seoul, these things are used as taxis, Ioniq 5s as well. Went to the southern resort island of Jeju, the car rental place I went to had them lined up for what looked like milesโ€ฆ. They even had ID4s, Q4 e-trona and the Merc EQS available to rent, really impressive, but Iโ€™m sure cost a bomb. My family went away with a diesel Kia Sorentoโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚ Ioniq 6 looks a lot smaller than dimensions suggests when you see it on the road. The back looks weird, but the from has got character that I like.
