I own a Model S, and a Mini Copper Electric. I still think I paid way too much for them, but it is what it is. I love both cars, so it doesn't matter. Cheers

This is the kind of design Citroen or DS should have come up with. Sad they don't have the visionary kind of designers that made them famous.

My local dealer let me have a 2 hour test drive last week in the dual motor version and I think it's a superb car. Excellent to drive and it was showing 345 miles range when I picked it up. In the photos I wasn't sure about the sloped rear but in the flesh it has so much style and presence, it just works. When I came out of Sainsbury's there was a group of 6 people standing around it, amazed at it's looks. One guy even asked if his 7 year old boy could sit in it! How many new £50k cars can attract that much attention? A model Y performance is obviously quicker but Tesla's are just too common and look boring compared to the 6.

The pricetags these Ioniqs have are absolutely unreasonable though...the Ioniq 5 is being sold for $70k in Canada

I currently drive a 2014 Tesla S and this might very likely be my next car. Its got a bit of an old Porsche and old Saab Turbo had a baby vibe, and I totally dig it. The range in the RWD is outstanding as well!

I still prefer the exterior look of the Ioniq 5. It is more iconic and distinguishable. Like Rory said, on the 6, it is hard to determine what era the design language comes from, and that puts me off. For every other part of it, it seems like a very lovely car.

I have an older Ioniq electric that reaches lease end around christmas. Kia, Ioniq 5, and this one are the main contenders to replace it -- and this one looks better all the time. thanks for your review!

Great review, I really like your understandable demonstration. Ioniq 6 is the one that I might consider for my next car.

The Hyundai Ionic 6 is brilliant! It looks so lovely and it's brilliant that we have some saloons and estates coming soon electric!!!! I hope there are some cheaper versions or used Ionic 6 cars, that's considering electric cars don't break down as quickly which they're shown to be less reliable, because I'd love to buy one!

I bought an i20 N last year (well 2021...but waiting times) and if they make a N version of this I'd be happy to trade up! Until then I'll hang onto this until petrol prices force me out of it.

I like the design because it dares to be its own thing. But the headlights don't seem the fit the overall aesthetic.

It looks like an Art Deco vision of the future and I love it!

One of the best reviewer car.. great great video Iam not fluent in English but still enjoy it...God bless you Rory and teams

Fab design and a great car. Bringing something new to the saloon market is not easy but Hyundai have done it, I hope it does well.

Great video! Love the car. Actually, mine is due in April. Curretly driving with an Ioniq 5 dual motor. Anyhow, I don't think the Ioniq 5 is a "bigger brother" to Ioniq 6. They are just different approaches to the theme. They share the same platform and the wheelbase is identical (ok, the Ioniq 5 has got 5 mm longer, but plays no role). The Ioniq 6 is longer from front to back, the Ioniq 5 is naturally taller as it is a crossover. The weight difference is minimal, around 50 kg. I'd say, the only difference is that one is a crossover, the other a "sedan".

Hi Rory. Thank you for putting across how advertisers are trying to tell how to pronounce things and why should we change 🤪. Love your channel....

Once again, Rory provides us with an Insightful, fun, and balanced review. Oh, the Ioniq 6 is nice. I'm shortlisting it.

I really like Hyundai, I've got a 'classic' Ioniq 28. I really wanted to like the Ioniq 6 but being pleased to get 3mi/kWh is aiming low. It's not that hard to get 5mi/kWh in my car in this weather. Starting at £45,000? That's a shame since they are clearly aiming at the Model 3 market and that starts at £43k and is more efficient. I look forward to seeing the Ioniq 6 coming with smaller wheels and a smaller battery pack. Pitched at sub £40k and managing more than 4mi/kWh and it would be fantastic.

It's actually a nice looking car. Just don't see why Hyundai and all other automakers insist on putting large range killing wheels on EVs when they put so much work into maximizing range in every other aspect.

Lol it’s a Korean company so the British or American pronunciation is technically incorrect. Glad they’re finally letting people know that there is a correct prononciation in Korean. Very informative video!

Side profile looks like a CLS/TT and the headlight look like the ones from the gr86

Genuinely really like the style and technology, especially for that price point. I only have one small issue with the car. If you're going to drop the roofline in the back that dramatically over the rear wheels, why oh why did you not just make it a hatchback?! Just move the trunk hinge up a little, it's not that hard!

Well done mate....from Australia✌

I always pronounced your first name as ‘Raa-re”, but now I’ve been ‘advised’ that is wrong. But screw it, just going to continue to say it my way regardless even though I’ve been told the correct way to pronounce it….

Very beautiful car. It reminds me a bit of the old Citroen DS, which both were a horrible car and a design icon in one and the same time. This Hyundai would not be a horrible car, but maybe controversial. I have one gripe with it though: I wish they had made it a hatchback or fastback instead! It is not very practical at all, with a small boot and a narrow opening.

I personally love it and be keen for one after a test drive. But I've got a feeling most consumers would still rather the Ioniq 5 for that SUV styling.

I would like to see a bit more headroom in the back. You are 5’11’’ and your head was almost touching the roof. More space would probably require a longer wheelbase, different profile with a higher drop from the roof to the trunk or moving the back seats slightly forward. I think i am ok with all these options at the expense of increasing the price or loosing knee room which seemed to have extra room.

Back around the early noughties, Hyundai UK were a customer of mine and I remember them running a campaign, with various supporting customer materials, trying to encourage people to say He-yoon-day instead of Hi-yun-die. Nobody took any notice and they quietly dropped the crusade, so hopefully they’ll reach the same conclusion with this latest effort! 😊

Awesome review of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, my favorite car style is sedan, so I prefer the Ioniq 6 to the Crossover Ioniq 5. I like the I 6 design, and I like the dashboard design and buttons for climate control. I like the heated back seats and I like the USB C connection. Some people say the back design looks like a Porsche 911 and the Mercedes EV EQS prototype with the longest range. The Ioniq 6 is good competition for Tesla Model 3,

Excellent presentation as always! The Sonata opened the door for it, but much advance on E-steroids!!!

I absolutely LOVED the way they removed the middle console in the IONIQ 5. Sadly they brought it back in the 6, what a bummer...

When it comes to pronunciation of foreign brand names, I think it’s a story similar to borrowed words. I don’t think you’d pronounce the word “genre” as “JEN-ner” or “GEN-ree” or whatever sounds better in English, because this wasn’t English in the first place. Brands like Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton etc all have a “correct” pronunciation in their own language. Of course you can always say it the English way, but it just sounds weird and funny. I think we should all respect the “correct” pronunciation of foreign brand names, despite being difficult to say or sounding a bit strange. After all, it’s not English, right? To assist with learning, many languages have some phonetic systems that happen to use English alphabets so foreigners can learn the language with relative ease, but of course there are also certain pronunciation rules that don’t apply in English. So you can always pronounce “Hyundai” your own way, but know that it’s actually a Korean word meaning “modernity”, so in Korean it sounds more like “h-YON-day” [with the /h/ (as in “he”) blending subtly with the /y/ to make it sound like one single consonant], not “HAI-YON-die”.

I love it for the fact it’s different without being a crossover.

A proper pronunciation goes a long way Rory. That is why. It can and it does make a difference. There is no British or US way, there is only a wrong way. If there is a company, or soccer player, or cricket player you do highly respect then you should learn their name and put a small effort into learning to try to pronounce their name properly. Should you not? In an era I've grown up football presenters were keen having foreign footballer's name said as they would say it in their native language. It was important for them so the people watching the game can also learn. I think it is not right to think because we have pronounced something in the wrong way we must stick to it because you know this is the way it is, get on with it. I think this is the wrong approach Rory. Do you want your name pronounced rurea? I guess not. If you do respect a person, a brand, a country (and the list goes on) you should learn how it is pronounced. As an influencer you should see the opportunity to bring others to make aware of how to pronounce Hyundai properly, but you just dropped the mic with a smug face and walked off stage. It is ignorance and not funny at all. Their adverts in the UK has been produced in the UK in the last 37 years and to my understanding the advertising company have made the mistake and not the company itself. (Miscommunication?) Can you imagine your name being constantly mispronounced for 30+ years? Would you take some effort to correct this when you have finally a few products to challenge every single EV car makers? Hell yes, I would. Wouldn't you?
