Hyundai Ioniq 6 - Brilliantly Different From Eurobox City! 

And that’s with obvious added effort in reducing the drag coefficient!

@@thenerd6192 definitely plays a part but the battery pack is also not as heavy as the bigger battery packs in these newer Ioniqs.

The irony of energy density! Give the battery manufacturers a few more years to crack solid state (or something)

I was going to get a ioniq 38kwh but got put off by the poor reliability scores / hyundai recalls / poor customer service

@@ashb8572 the customer service varies area to area, I hear my local one is OK - but it's been nothing but reliable so far. 12v issues seem to be semi-common but I just keep a booster in the car just in case. Haven't had any issues yet. It's a lovely car, and a steal at the current prices. If you snooze you'll lose though prices on the rise again for second hand.

I am in Australia as well. I love this car and have similar vies. about it after driving it for almost a year. Normally use the eco-mode and generally go for sport if I need to really get it going for some reason, or in the winding road areas.

Yes that right

It's a great lease option though

Those wheels are the higher spec model with 19" wheels. My base-model has the 18" wheels. Both wheels are actually aero-covered; the 19" has black infills between the silver, so no major cleaning issues. The ride is really very good; better in the base-model with the deeper tyre profile, but all around a lot better than the Tesla. Tyre cost ?? No idea. All tyres are expensive these days. The crucial thing is how long they last.

A lot of this alerts are mandatory from 2015 in EU. Therefore UK will get the same alerts....can't easily turn them off

It's a needless boot. I ruled it out on the basis it wasn't a hatch.

As he says, the technology isn't there and it's dangerous, with a sign on an overpass my car tried to break from 70-10mph, why there can't be a line of code that thinks "is that ever happening" I don't know

@@80y3r9wait until kids wear T-shirts with the speed limit on next to motorways for fun

In my 2020 Defender this speed limit function was very annoying to the extent that JLR disabled it via an OTA update. My new 2023 Defender even tells me that “this function is not available in this region”. They also listened to owners who complained that the lane keep assist was too strong - I live in the countryside with lots of twisty narrow back roads and meeting a big tractor thundering down the road often means driving on the verge, but not with lane keep assist as it tries to fight you back onto the tar and straight into the path of the on coming tractor………… that was toned down somewhat in an OTA update and can now be switched to just a steering wheel vibration so you can still have it fully operational on dual carriageways and motorways. What I don’t understand with it is that the Satnav can tell you what sort of road it is so why can it not disable LKA completely until you drive on a dual carriageway or motorway? I see now that 2024 model year Land and Range Rovers are getting a sort of semi-autonomous driving system, lord help us as it’s already causing plenty of problems for those with the latest cars.

Nowhere in the EU legislation does it say that the warnings should be AUDIBLE. This is an interpretation by Hyundai. Warnings can be haptic, for instance, or even be vibrations in the pedal etc. I am guessing other manufacturers will choose to do this smarter than Hyundai.

Problem is that the haptic warning must be in the acceleration pedal, which the Ioniq is unable to do I guess. The steering wheel haptic feedback is not sufficient.

My EV6 doesn't bong at all for speed limits, or if it does, it's very faint and the music volume is lowered slightly. It doesn't get the signs wrong at all in my area.

You can buy one of theses NOW at 6 months old for

Aftermarket stalks. Honestly

Why would they slide over in the front unless you’re parking on the wrong side of the road?

i4 is way more expensive so not really comparable.

Never!

All that 'wonderfulness'..... and yet, it's entirely useless if you need a hatchback.....!!! .... I just don't get saloons/sedans... ..... Why have a boot, with its limitations... when you could have a hatchback.....without the limitations.......!!!?

I agree, that is a limitation. In fact we usually buy estates for their practicality. But the other factors outweigh the lack of a hatchback for me. The MY was meant to deal with that, but I find them ugly and don't like the extra 3 inches of girth.

Yeah because voice activation works that quickly and accurately. 🤦‍♂️ Especially on a roundabout with multiple indications for both sides.

So 50kw costs £34, after losses you'll add maybe 45 to the battery, so can probably go around 180 miles max on a run for £34. hmmmm....... I think I'll stick with my old 320d with its 55mpg. At £7.4 per gallon thats equivalent to approx 250 miles. Also depreciation is way better, and the engine will suffer only mild loss of performance over 10 years, as opposed to, say 30% loss of range.... and the Bimmer has a 600+ range and a 3 minute fill up will add the full 600 miles (whatever the weather, and without having to wait for a "handshake"), using EV terminology to make big numbers sound impressive that would be the equivalent of refilling at 12,000 miles per hour. Thats the target, so keep trying....

nowhere near S class is styling, size, performance, interior, luxury, engines, drivline etc. Its got 4 wheels though which is the same. Looks like a squashed beetle, will be on second hand lots (assuming battery survives) for pennies in the pound in around 24 months...

You are wrong there, Tesla Model 3 and Y can charge at over 1,000 mph, i see it on a regular basis.

It's all cars, not just EVs.

Usable, not total.

He says in the video that there is only one battery size?

@@Payteer yes, the Ioniq 6 only has a single size battery available in the UK. My point was that the current Tesla Model 3 standard range gets the same distance between charges to the Ioniq 6, whereas most people including in this video compare it to the Model 3 Long Range.

Does that include state taxes? Probably not

@@Sam-tx1tn that’s the price before tax or incentives, which when you add UK tax (20%) should be £36,600, not £47,000. If the US price of the base RWD model was $60,000 after tax & incentives, would you buy one?

Korea is closer to US than UK. And UK pays through nose for most things including cars.

Like the CyberTruck...which end is the front? Is it coming towards me, or going away?

thats funny, autotrade has current year models with trivial mileage at circa £30k. who's right?

Not at 10° you're not.

Did 117 miles today 10 degrees raining mostly motorway driving at 62 miles an hour average 4.2 miles PKW

just you.

That’s the total capacity. I’m quoting the usable capacity.

'shit'....!?!? Really.....???!! Soo.. How do you justify that ridiculously childish comment then, 'br1an'...!?!?

Strange, weird. Not flowing. Bad design. Shit.

No - different CAN mean good.....!!! It's a matter of personal taste.... why t. f. are we even discussing this.....!?!?
