2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Quick Review

Today on Extra Throttle House, Thomas and James check out the all new Hyundai Ioniq 6 in its “Ultimate Trim.” Costing 64,689 CAD (57,215 USD), this Hyundai aims to disrupt the EV Sedan market - but its stiffest competition comes from within its own brand. With similar pricing and range to the Ioniq 5, the guys answer the age old question - should 5 be afraid of 6? And what will happen when the 7 comes to market in the coming months? Is Hyundai just cannibalizing itself within its own nomenclature? Watch - SUBSCRIBE!

Consumption is ridiculous above 62mph/100kph. Ioniq 6 trades some practicality for efficiency. 0.21cd is unbelievable for the price point and the highway range, especially in summer, will be very impressive. For those that need it, of course.

But I’ll never give up my Hyundai. In fact I reserved the Ioniq5 N. All that to say the Ioniq6 is a tesla 3 competitor but still doesn’t give enough range on awd lr.

    There's no doubting Ioniq 5's looks or practicality, and the range is similar in the upper trims (SEL & Limited), but--as others have also stated--the range difference is 19% (361 miles vs 303, or 316 vs 266) in SE trim, which is not insignificant. From the listed Cd and MPGe, it's also safe to assume that gap will widen on highway, where range is likely to be a bigger factor. It's entirely possible someone prioritizes range over interior space or appearance. Since the exterior design contributes to that, it'd be unfair to call it just a styling/marketing exercise.

    Even the original 2022 Ioniq 5s had HDA2 which included lane change and the detection of being cutoff and slowing down automatically. The subsequent Ioniq 5s ran into sensor shortages resulting in Hyundai downgrading to HDA1.5 which had neither feature. That's what is being referred to in the video.

    'Styling' aka beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, a personal thing. I love the style of this car and reckon it has it all over the Ioniq 5 which looks like a brick in comparison. Must be something to do with the tastes of millennials and the current prevalence of hulking great SUVs on the roads as being the 'normal car'. This Ioniq 6 harks back to the great stylish cars (2-wheel drive) of the '70s.

    Great video and conversation. I am a long time EV driver and that is rare considering how little they been around and the small population that actually likes owning one. EV's are just too expensive for the general population and the range isn't there yet. I understand material costs rare metals and all but if we really want to push EV's we need to make them cheaper and easier to charge. A Bolt is probably the best EV or a Nissan Leaf for costs but always have a second car as well. I think people need to realize they are just commuting cars to eliminate half the costs of owning a vehicle

    Model 3 in the US can be quite affordable depending on the state. The base model is $40K (which is now below the average price of a new car BTW), and on top of that you get a federal tax rebate of $7500 and in some states thousands more off that, which gets the price down to roughly what you'd pay for a Honda Accord. Once you factor in what you'll save on gas and maintenance it will cost you less than a Honda Civic over 5 years. I get that not everyone can afford a new car, but if you can afford a new car, you can afford a Tesla model 3. And as you know, Bolt and Leaf are even cheaper (though far inferior IMO).

    Hyundai has been knocking it out of the park with respect to new style/style direction. Where they take a few steps back is with the details. This car (much like the Ioniq 5) suffers from WAY too much weird body cladding on the lower portion of the vehicle. If I purchased this car, I'd have that weird black strip that runs into the back bumper painted body color - that would go a long way to tone done how weird the little vertical elements on the front and rear bumper really break up such a beautiful car. This is another example of where the concept car was WAY better looking. Perhaps for the 2nd gen - they'll edit some of the plastic bits and just focus on the shape. Great review, as always - I love your channel.

    As others have said, the reason to choose the 6 over the 5 is efficient/range, and style preference. But I also get what James and Thomas are getting at. Being on the same platform and close to same weight, they haven't differentiated the ride/handling enough to give up the utility. The trunk is really small, 12cf. The model 3 is 15, or 19, depending on how it's measured. The 6 is a subcompact trunk in a midsize sedan. So it's a family sedan without the trunk. And feels the same as the 5 in driving. So I see why they would choose the 5. Interesting that the biggest draw, 360 miles range, is on a trim level not available till later in summer...

    I now own the Ioniq 6 and love it. It improved so many little things from the Ioniq 5, although hopefully some of those things come to the Ioniq 5 via software updates. The only minor criticisms are the front sensors still go off in reverse and can't be silent by default in reverse, and the current limiter of 115 mph seems a little low not that I would ever try to go that fast outside of the track. If you want a track car, you should wait for the Ioniq 5N or 6N, but they will cost a lot more.

Kind of wished I went to that when I upgraded from the s20 ultra, or waited for the s23 ultra (lots of reviews noting it's a genuine upgrade compared to the current turd in my pocket). However if there's one phone design that I would love to see modernize, it's the LG G2. That design is my all time favorite for a phone, right next to the HTC One M7.

Does the RWD option/etc matter? If it drives exactly like an Ioniq 5 but is less practical, then does it really make sense to counterpoint it as an alternative to an "appliance car" beyond anything except looks?
