Hyundai is positioning itself as one of the leaders in electric vehicle manufacturing, adding another EV to its lineup with the Ioniq 6. Sharing a platform with the Genesis GV60, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5, we share our first impressions of this all-electric sedan, including its unique styling, EV performance, driving dynamics, range, and how it stacks up to competitors like Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. We also discuss whether a flat tire sealant kit is an acceptable and safe alternative to run-flat tires or a dedicated spare.

The IONIQ 6 is extremely aerodynamic and efficient. I think its elegant and purposeful. Looks amazing in red 😊

@mikus4242 Год назад

Coworker just bought a red IONIQ 6. It should be shipped from OK to Houston next week. They are in short supply.

@Noah_E Год назад

With the exception of the rear. They made the roof and trunk too short and the battery pack cuts into the trunk making cargo space too small and rear headroom too low. The Model 3 has more than double the cargo capacity (22.9 vs 11.2 cu ft). The melted rear looked bad on the Infiniti J30, and this is even worse. Hopefully the second generation won't look like a melted jellybean.

@carljaekle Год назад

I am a Tesla Model 3 owner. Really appreciate Hyundai. Like both the Ioniq 5 and the 6. What’s being left out on the conversation on styling, is range. The Ioniq 6 has a longer range than the the 5, because of it’s low aerodynamic drag. Which is as a result of the styling.

@TrainsFerriesFeet Год назад

I love the higher efficiency. Energy efficiency is a major factor when I choose an EV. I currently drive a Model 3.

@Steve_in_NJ Год назад

But yeah, it DOES remind me too of a suppository! 🤔🤣🤣🤣

@Sashazur Год назад

I like the look, it’s kind of retro.

@georgeh6856 Год назад

A company finally has the guts to put out a very sleek, aerodynamic design, and this guy says it looks like s suppository. WTF? If it looked like everything else on the market, he would probably complain that had boring styling. I think the Ioniq 6 is gorgeous.

@Noah_E Год назад

The rear is so ugly. Whatever fraction of a mile more range they got wasn't worth the decimated rear passenger area and cargo capacity. 11.2 cu ft of cargo is unacceptable. The Model 3 has more than double the cargo capacity (22.9 cu ft).

@MrSinnerBOFH Год назад

True. It has a bit of a retro European sedan style. Citroën and Porsche. Looks like this guys only care for SUVs, 😢

@cconghhong Год назад

As ugly as F, you must have gone blind😂

@frankcoffey Год назад

We are getting to the point where non homeowners are buying EVs so charging is even more of an issue than you might think.

@guatles6762 Год назад

So true. I am one of those people. I’ve had my Kia EV6 for about 8 months now and live in an apartment that does not have access to a charger so I’m having to always go out in the public and it’s been a challenge thus far since more and more EVs are out and using my local chargers.

@toronado455 Год назад

@@guatles6762 I hope at some point local governments will force landlords to install chargers.

@Sashazur Год назад

My condo building is looking into letting owners add chargers to their parking places. If approved it’ll be a big retrofit project and it’ll cost up to $10K per space - the major cost is the copper cables that run from the panel across the garage to each space. They’re saying that adjacent spaces can go in together and save a lot by sharing a single cable.

@dennisjones8906 Год назад

The new microphones make a big difference. Superb sound quality!

@louislopez55 Год назад

Experience and older age can make a difference. Whenever I travel I carry an electric air pump that connects to the battery, I carry a breaker bar with a socket that fits my lug nuts, I have an air gauge, I check the air pressure on all the tires before a road trip including the spare, and I know enough to not change a tire on the side of a road that has traffic speeding by inches away. If I have to I’ll drive down the road or shoulder until I get to an off ramp and if I ruin a wheel so what, it’s better than being run into, which seems to happen often enough. If I had any passengers I would also have them get away from the vehicle and the road. There’s too many people (and vehicles) today to take a chance.

@kurthunter5206 Год назад

I disagree with John about the spare tire. I live in suburb/urban area & 19" wheels don't like pot holes or curbs. My sister leased the exact same car (a Accord touring hybrid) & I insisted Honda install

@GeorgeKnighton Год назад

You asked about the boom mics. Personally I do not believe they improve things enough to be worth the distraction. Just IMHO. I have been there, and they are a distraction. Like the Ioniq 6, but would buy the 5 instead. “Would” because my cheap 2020 Bolt EV has been performing perfectly since 12/2020. Nothing to do but rotate the tyres and change the cabin filter.

@davidm5707 Год назад

Very distracting. I keep thinking an alien under the table is about to grab them.

@ibakedit5850 Год назад

A spare tire is essential, I think. I drive a Mustang which has a spare...made sure to order the car with one. My rims have been damaged 3 times necessitating them being taken off and repaired, sometimes having to wait a week. Try that with a runflat and no spare.

@dennisjones8906 Год назад

Nice job moderating and staying on focus, and I liked the 5 vs 6 question. 👍

@rydahog Год назад

The elephant in the room is the charging locations , women absolutely hate this. The back of Walmarts among others, unlit,or low light, you get the idea, I was this close to getting my wife a I6 and she said nope, not unless charging stations are similar to gas station setups.

@skicourt8761 Год назад

purchased ionic5 4/12/22, died at dealership service drive 3/17/23, 24692 miles, parts backordered, integrated charge controller+30 amp fuse due in 06----07/23 timeframe, under warranty

@toronado455 Год назад

Can't believe Gabe says run-flat tires are no problem. They are notoriously problematic.

@marekw.9816 Год назад

You guys go on about the styling without mentioning the 0.21 coefficient of drag, which is the driving factor behind the overall shape of the car.

@Noah_E Год назад

Is there any benefit of one pedal driving over a good adaptive cruise or super cruise and auto braking system? My last few dailies have had those along with lane keep assist and my SO's has rear auto braking in addition to the others. Most days I do zero pedal driving between home and the destination, only using the brake to put the car in drive and park and the gas to get up to 20mph (32kph) to activate cruise. Why would anyone care about or prefer one pedal driving when those other systems are so reliable?

@ltkwok Год назад

What Brand and model number are those mics? They would great.

@mikeb6359 Год назад

How long before it spontaneously ignites?

@frankcoffey Год назад

The sound is great, good investment in audio gear.

@geraldg8327 Год назад

some would say it was a "sound" investment

@gman9543 Год назад

Not a big fan of the mic setup visually. Might be better if they could make them come out of the table from a place in the middle. Just looks ridiculously industrial for your otherwise casual setting.

@eahughey Год назад

Really like the new intro Music. Seems update the stream making it feel more sophisticated.

@jsfbay1 Год назад

Vibes of Citroen in the back

@gerarddion4859 Год назад

Audio sounds great!

@mrpogi23 Год назад

I like the front design, reminds me of the early 90s retro-futuristic... however the rear end is a bit polarizing. But in the big picture, this vehicle is different, it has one of the most aerodynamic design and very efficient in range. Its better to have some options out there than that other "boring" same car...

@davidm5707 Год назад

I assume you mean the various Teslas, which all look alike and haven't changed in a decade?

@Noah_E Год назад

Sedans are a dying breed so they have to be great to sell. Other than the better visibility, people buy SUVs for the interior and cargo space. The rear of the Ioniq 6 is a fail. The Model 3 has more than double the cargo capacity (22.9 cu ft) and that overly sloped rear is to blame. Plus, it's ugly

@evankatz2893 Год назад

I watched every episode , superior sound now good move!

@techpappee Год назад

The styling is for lowering coefficient of drag period. It's how it can get 360 miles out of its batteries. Otherwise it wouldn't.

@michaelsprinzeles4022 Год назад

I'm old enough to remember full size spares & changing them. I'm willing to risk just carrying a can of Fix-A-Flat or the wait for AAA over the work & risk changing a tire at the side of the road. If you do have a full size spare you can avoid it going bad or some other malody by including it in your regular tire rotation.

@TheAdventureAuto Год назад

Yea I've heard so many people say they went to use their spare and it was flat. People want them but use them so infrequently that they aren't even good when they need it. I started carrying a fix a flat kit as well as a can of sealant. Otherwise I can call roadside.

@mrleeboston Год назад

Odd the conversation 11:35 about charging when Tesla has just added magic dock for non-Tesla charging and many right in the range of Consumer Reports HQ.

@Jgutin1 Год назад

It’s annoying that the camera side mirror system is not available in the US as the Ionic 6 dash is obviously built to accommodate the screens and looks strange without them.

@sgfurio07 Год назад

Watching from Denmark. A soon to be an I6 owner. A little comment regarding Tesla's supercharger network. I don't know how things are where you are, but here in Europe, Elon has opened the supercharger network to everyone. So you could charge your Hyundai/Kia EV on Tesla's supercharger network. Loving your talk about the I6. About the button placement. Personally it's a non-issue. Buttons in the centre console are quickly learned. And sure, the mirror adjustment placement is odd, but honestly, how often do you adjust your wing mirrors?

@CoreyBMack Год назад

Those mic stands should be folded to where they are parallel with the table. They are kind of distracting

@toronado455 Год назад

If you call roadside assistance, they will safely put on your spare for you. So that takes care of the safety aspect of changing a tire. But if you don't carry a spare tire at all, who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters? 👻

@tommiller12345 Год назад

The fix a flat goop ruins the TPMS sensor which isn’t cheap. I like a spare.

@johnverlautz6025 Год назад

Love the show, listen every week. I gotta say those mic stands are a monstrosity. Sound quality was excellent though. And Jon, what time zone is 11 o'clock in the afternoon. Anyway, thanks for being informative AND entertaining!

@toronado455 Год назад

LOL did he say 11 o'clock in the afternoon? 😂

@bjs2022 Год назад

You should not be using condenser cardioid microphones. They are too sensitive. Please use the industry standard for scores of years, the Heil PR 40 dynamic microphone. You orient them so you speak across (above, below, or beside) them instead of into them.

@sprague49 Год назад

The Shure SM 7B's they are using are dynamic mics not condensers. They are also a broadcast industry standard.

@DavidHamby-ORF-48 Год назад

Ahoy folks. CR Car Talks are quite good. I drive an ID.4 and think of the off-accelerator behavior like this. In D mode it emulates an ICE torque converter auto-box, just keeps rolling. In B-mode, the coast down emulates a manual in an upper gear. Coast down is up to 1/8th G and is continuously modulated using the accelerator. Very much like the GTI DSG without the sound track.

@DavidHamby-ORF-48 Год назад

I drive B mode around town and D mode on road trips. Or let Otto have the throttle. Adaptive cruise is excellent.

@goostrey4210 Год назад

I haven't seen one in the flesh, but to me the Ioniq 6 is stunning! It reminds me of cars like the Tatra 603 and, together with cars like the Mercedes EQE sedan, seems to initiate a new age of streamlining. I'm not sure why people object to its rear end, when that rear end looks like a Porsche 911, surely one of the most beautiful cars ever. It will definitely be on our shortlist when we need to replace our car.

@user-pi3zf6hq4c Год назад

You guys are nuts on the spare. One flat and you are screwed waiting for outside help to come. AAA comes and you have no spare to put on the car so it is FLAT BED TIME to a tire store if open on a Sunday afternoon. Next it is UBER home. Two days later, the tire store orders you special 19 inch tire and your three day fiasco is over! Buy the temp spare and check the pressure. And the fix a flat kits usually go bad in about two years of use. And the dealer cost is crazy.

@LionRunner Год назад

With all the audio testing Consumer Reports couldn't find an appropriate yet professional quality mic setup for talking cars?

@Azmodan911 Год назад

Hey TC, thanks for all your work, love the videos. Jon's objections to the lack of wipers always makes me laugh. Just turn on the rear defroster and it will clear the back window, unless you're driving in a downpour i suppose. lol Personally i love the Ioniq 6 styling, although i agree on the point that real button controls are far better than capacitive ones. Bring back the buttons!

@hondajohn6948 Год назад

in areas that apply brine and salt, the defroster is not adequate. A wiper is needed to clear the brine. This is a big issues for people living in snow belt and skiers

@cesartrujillo4190 Год назад

This is a surprisingly good review. I think it took you guys a little while to understand what it’s really like to live with an electric vehicle and the advantages of reliability in a charge net work, but also the balance that a charge Netwerk provides versus charging at home. Tesla is a weird dichotomy of future verses now. Anyone in technology will tell you not to buy a product based on promises of future features. They may never come, or may have too much of anything buggy problem when they do. Teslas have the best charging networks by far right now making them a no-brainer choice for anyone who does have range anxiety for Enjoys going on road trips. However, they are also quite enticing for the person who believes that their car definitely will gain certain features over time. All other car makers are really good at deploying. Good features now that will probably not get better over time, but have a real Promise in their ability to charge on better networks someday.

@lcarliner Год назад

Flat tire pump-up kits do help you when fire falue involves the sidewll or close to kit! Also, I do not trust claims that current kits do not cause costly damage to the TPMS sensors! Even though I take care to see to it that the spare does not become past dated, I will still use my AAA membership to have the tire change done for me. On a weekend and late at night, the availability of a spare, even if it is just a nonut type, will keep me from being stranded!

@altisamuels8694 Год назад

Why was the host getting so agitated when the model 3 is mention ?

@larryrichmond Год назад

It's seems very odd to me that you wouldn't mention that none of the Hyundias or Kias are currently eligible for the Federal tax credit. Reducing the effective cost of ownership by $7,500 or even $3,750 is substantial and another reason beyond the Supercharger network why you might want to choose a Model 3 or Y.

@Kareem-cx4fi Год назад

Are they talking about the older model 3s or the new ones? I know the older model 3s had trash ride quality. Is the ride quality of the 2022-2023 onwards really that bad?

@chezzyperson3339 Год назад

It’s still in the same generation so yes

@jeffs869 Год назад

sometimes shocks are changed for smoother units.

@MechayaAlta Год назад

Should the type of EV battery factor into your buying decision: Tesla has cylindrical others pouch type. Are spontaneous battery fires no longer an issue?

@TheAdventureAuto Год назад

Battery fires were never an issue except for the Bolt recall. Studies have shown that pure EV's have the least amount of fires. Plug in-hybrids have a lot more. It's never a good idea to have a hot gas engine so close to a large lithium battery.

@andresmattos7541 Год назад

Drives a priest and says the ioniq 6 just looks ok lol

@JoeE. Год назад

Tbh, I don't like exposed microphones. It looks like there's an assembly line in your studio with stationary robot arms. I've been saying this for so long now. If your format is a podcast like Joe Rogan, then you can do this type, but is not. Hide the mic, please.

Tesla dislike comes strong through CR episode. Not sure if it’s corporate stand or personal dislike that makes them criticize the brand at every chance. There was time when CR recommendation had some gravitas. Tesla seems to have broken them. I think Hyundai cars look very good even though I would probably stick with Tesla due to technology and ease of supercharging.

@jp93309 Год назад

That profile, especially the rear, reminds me of a Merkur XR4ti. That’s not a good thing.

@qwincyq6412 Год назад

On the topic of spare tires why do most manufacturers place the tire under the trunk floor and with the valve stem facing down? It’s certainly a disincentive to check the pressure when you have to remove the trunk tray and the jack then the tire just to add air to the spare. Engineering failure!

@Steve_in_NJ Год назад

Tesla or Ioniq are priced way too high for most of us poor Americans who can barely make ends meet now. Guess I'm sticking with my Hyundai Kona for a while longer (it's a 2022 Limited gas model).

@frankcoffey Год назад

Changing a tire is not safe for a long list of reasons. Also, there is only a small percentage of drivers who can drive a car with a manual transmission you think they have enough skill to maintain a spare and change a flat? No, they don’t.

Disagree but I'm a manual driver who does their own maintenance 🤷‍♂️

Having owned a few early EV models charging infrastructure is everything. I mean it’s a 50k car are you really willing to risk not being able to drive it anywhere? Tesla has no real competition when it comes to infrastructure. Tesla May not the best car from other perspectives but I can drive it anywhere and I never worry about charging.

@summersbo58 Год назад

Looks like a old Citroen DS

@Noah_E Год назад

Car companies are eliminating spare tires and wipers for the same reason they use "vegan" leather instead of the real stuff. To cut cost. It's not about weight reduction or phony environmental concerns. It's about money.

@curtg9792 Год назад

I may be a lone dissenter, but the microphones are a huge distraction for a very marginal gain in sound quality (the prior podcasts we not that bad.). Depersonalizes the production and makes you look like shock-joc wannabes.

Hyundai puts more R&D time than Tesla!? I highly disagree! From the motors, to the battery, battery cooling, safety features, software, app integration... Is there anything on the Model 3 that's not more fully baked than the competition? For crying out loud, Tesla has the Supercharger network! Tesla's R&D is so clearly ahead of other EVs and it shows in the sheer performance of all their vehicle's systems.
