Really cool insights on the parking camera button and the lane keep assist features. Your focus on the fine details is exactly why I appreciate your videos. It's hard to find anyone else that does that kind of thing well.

Instead of designing a whole new car for the 6, Hyundai should’ve just shrank the original design of the Ionic 5 into a compact hatchback. That would’ve probably sold more and taken less R&D. What I dislike about the 5 is how fuckin massive it is. When it was first revealed, I thought it was gonna be a hot hatch EV

Hyundai deserves credit for bringing higher levels of style and more standard luxury equipment than the competition.

The "ears" or "wings" on the dashboard are where the rear view video monitors are located in the EU versions of the car. US can't use cameras as Side View mirror replacements due to laws.

I think I can answer that question about those "wings" on the dash. If I'm not mistaken, in Europe you can have digital camera side mirrors as opposed to regular ones, and those "wings" are where the monitors for those cameras would go. Since the US has a law that cars need standard side mirrors, they don't put the cameras in, thus no monitors either.

Doug is the kind of guy to review an Ioniq 6 after reviewing an Ioniq 6

Looks like a great company car for picking up clients at the airport, and I don't mean that as an insult. I would buy the 5 for my personal vehicle, but the 6 checks all the boxes for a "business people mover".

These are everywhere in Germany. I haven't driven one myself yet, because I am not really considering buying one as my next car, but it's still a very good looking car. I wasn't expecting Hyundais electric vehicles to become so good after most of their previous gas cars were either bland or just grotesque. I just looked up pricing for them, which seems to be quite competitive. The base model starts at 44.000€ in Germany, which is including VAT but not including any government grants. Even before government grants, the price is about the same as an Audi A4 with the base engine and some options (all of which are standard on the Ioniq 6). If you factor in the government grant for electric vehicles, you can buy this car for 38.000€ in Germany (including VAT!), which is very hard to beat.

There is one thing I think should have been talked about more in this video. I think the major benefit of the Ionic 6 is range. That body doesn't look as good as the 5's for sure, but has a better coefficent of drag (0.21 vs 0.28) and less weight. The 6 has a massive 361 miles of range in the longest range spec vs the Ionic 5's 303 miles or EV6 at 310 miles. That extra range could be the difference for a buyer being able to go to a requented distant location, or having to stop along the way, or even just having a much more comfortable buffer.

Did you notice if this lower spec trim Ioniq 6 had more rear sear headroom than the Limited model that you had for the initial tour? From the specs it looks like it should have between 1 and 2 inches more headroom in back if you don't have the sunroof. The styling reminds me of the Merkur XR4ti - at least the rear end.

Under $40k is being extremely generous. Good luck finding one that isn’t marked up to $55-$65k

Hey Doug, at 6:59, the wings are for screens for the digital mirrors offered in other markets. Pretty cool quirk.

I drove an AWD SEL in silver with "green" (i.e. light grey) interior and loved everything about it: serene, luxurious, solid, fast, and supremely comfortable - BUT trunk space was a deal-breaking joke.

I had pleasure to look close into it, fantastic car. Unfortunately here in Poland this car is close to 70 000 USD. So I bought Stinger 😂

I love the styling of this thing. I think it looks like a cross between French and German cars from somewhere between the '60s and the '80s. Sedans aren't dead: they're on life support now, but will have to make a comeback. Environmental targets and restrictions, plus any resource scarceness, will make the body shape a necessity at some point. When it comes to efficiency, an SUV shape is just about the dumbest thing you can do.

i didn’t see anyone mention it yet but the "wings" at end of each side of front interior is like that bc some markets let u opt for camera side mirrors & those blank wings become the camera view.

I have one in the top spec. The wings in the interior are for the Digital Side Mirrors. Had the IONIQ 5 previously, the 6 is so much nicer to drive in my opinion, especially highway driving.

Hyundai's driver assist is insanely good.

I love the look of these. It strikes me as something SAAB would have done if it still existed (RIP)

I love this car. Only thing is no heated rear seats on any trim which cheaper Hyundais have, the Ioniq 5 has a HUD and the bose sound system on the ioniq6 sounds like it doesn’t have a subwoofer while the Ioniq 5 does. The ioniq5 has way more bass with the bose vs the ioniq6

Im here for Doug's never-ending fued about the location of heated seat controls.

I think that simply being a 'nice car' is something that is sorely lacking in todays market.

My favorite thing about Ioniq 6 is the stereo, which is leaps and bounds better than the other Hyundai & Kia vehicles. It's branded as a Bose, which would normally scare me off (their home gear is crap), but one listen to my test tracks in this car told me that they finally got it right.

7:53 I updated my 2021 Sonata Nline infotainment software and got a screen similar to the one on this car, except it's got a dark theme. Frankly, it was a great improvement from the original setup they had. The original menus and layouts were not intuitive at all, this new one is refined and looks cooler too. Regarding the home screen, I completely agree with Doug, it's pretty to look at, but not at functional. I guess Hyundai realized this because at least on my car, the HOME button takes you to the main menu, not the pretty to look at but useless home screen. The original home screen for my car was much more functional. it had a three way split so you could have three screens up at the same time as your home screen. Hyundai should've left the option to customize your home screen because for daily use I'd prefer the slicker look, but when I'm actually navigating somewhere or have people in the car, the three way split was immensely more useful.

Second time I've explained in your vid about ioniq 6 about the winglets. They are there because in all non-US markets the ioniq 6 has digital side "mirrors" and those winglets house the displays for each side's respective camera.

This car looks like a Saab 900 Turbo with modern twist.

Ionic 5 N is coming next year, with 0-60 in under 3.4, most likely to be followed by a 6 N as well. Interested to see, since it's the first EV that will have paddle shifters to fully simulate gear shifts, including the sound track from the ICE N models. Early reviewers love it on track as it gives you EV power but with the auditory and physical cues that shifting gears provide. If it feels and sounds like a gas powered turbo... I'm intrigued.

At 7:00 the wings on the dash are where the rear view camera displays go in markets where you can have nice things.

This is a cool car, but the Tesla supercharger network is too big of an advantage to get another type of electric car right now. Hopefully that situation will approve over time. If you only plan to drive local and charge from home, this wouldn't be an issue though.

Teslas fit and finish is still an issue and you’re not getting the elons 300 plus miles on the model 3 or Y. You’re lucky to get 250-270 and that’s if you don’t turn on the air conditioning or heat.

@@XX-166 Although the EPA range estimate is a bit optimistic, you can still find a charger anywhere you go or along your route, and they will work every single time without a doubt. Combine that with great built-in route planning and auto battery preconditioning, and it becomes a non-issue. Can't really say the same for... pretty much anything relying on Electrify America. Thankfully, with everyone signing the supercharger access deals, you can get a non-Tesla and use the supercharger network next year.

Definitely not a fan of how melted and random this car looks. I’m surprised it’s not getting much criticism, probably because Kia and Hyundai has so many fans. Strange looking car for sure, but I’m glad the range is good. It shows battery tech is definitely improving.

Steering wheel pixels: Why four of them? Fun fact: four dots is the morse code for H. Dashboard wings: if you go for the “digital mirror” option (cameras instead of side mirrors), the wing “tips” are replaced with OLED screens.

The Ionic 6 is a striking automobile. The sloping rear end with the duck tail spoiler looks remarkably similar to a vintage 911 duck tail. Car enthusiasts will love the higher performance version for sure. They have plenty of get up and go. ✌🏻🇺🇸

6:50 The wings on the dash are there because that is where the screens for the digital side mirrors go in other regions.

The side "wings" on the center console is for side screens instead of side mirrors. They are allowed in europe and optional.

The advantage over the 5 would be the higher range due to the lower drag coefficient

Thank goodness we have these 2 engineers that fully understand the drag coefficient is better (.28 for the 5, vs .21 vs the 5.) and my goodness that must be the only reason, yeah? I get frustrated, not mad, due to the idea that you think that's the factor in how much range the vehicles have. I am literally the stupidest person I know and I still take into consideration things like wheels and tires, interior HVAC demands based on cabin space, differences in requirements for things like defrost, rate of cooling, WEIGHT????... I mean, the EPA rates these, it is absolutely dependent on environment and options. I wish electric range was that easy, we could all be winners then!!! @@bwofficial1776​ Sorry guys I had a bad night. This isn't an edit. I actually am that stupid.

I love this car. All the other brands are scared to go toe-to-toe with the Model 3 and instead want boxy, bland SUVs. Like Doug mentioned, people say sedans are dead. But last I checked, the roads are littered with Model 3s. Very big fan of the teardrop, Porsche-like rear. Hope they continue to expand on this design. Would hope for a more premium feel for this price range still (or maintain the same and cute the price). Also needs to bring back more analog buttons

It helps that the Model 3 starts at like... $38.9k if you get one in inventory, and qualifies for the full $7500 Federal Tax credit, and more on top of that depending on which state you live in. You can get a base Model 3 for a couple of grand more than a base Prius

hey doug i think for the "how does it drive" part you should consider getting a side camera with a view of the front wheel for b-roll

The dash “wings” I believe are for the side mirrors camera system which isn’t available in all markets.

The "Wings" are because in non-US models there is an option for side-view cameras instead of mirrors and that is where the screens are.
