The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Limited Is An Outstanding Tesla Fighting Electric Sedan 

Happy Friday everyone! There's no shortage of EV's on the market nowadays and while sales of electric vehicles appears to be softening, those of you on the fence can apparently find plenty of new Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6's on dealer lots. Compared to Hybrid vehicles which are few and far between at dealers, would a deal on a fully electric vehicle (and on a good one like this car) be enough to sway you into an electric car?

If i was interested in a EV this would definitely be at the top of my list

I saw one of these drive by my house last week and I have to say it looks much better in person than any pictures I had seen of it. Hyundai calls that Abyss Black.

Im a Tesla Model 3 Long Range owner and, I test drove the Ioniq 6 in this trim. Its amazing car very luxurious and powerful great car I might be trading my model 3 soon..

In Germany, HUD and heated outer rear seats are available. What I heard, Canada has a HUD also. I own a First Edition model (AWD, sunroof, textile relaxation seats, and a lot of black accents, including 20" black rims), and I can only recommend it. Very roomy, effortless very quiet driving, sensors all over, high build quality. Of course, you have to like the design, which I love.

Good review as always, and it's a pretty good-looking car! Kia and Hyundai have definitely have up their game ever since bringing out the Stinger! Why they couldn't make an electric stinger is beyond me as it's a great looking car. It still amazes me that Doug Demuro still can't get multiple cameras in his reviews like this as it makes a big difference. Come on, Doug but kudos to Redline!

not sure if its just me, Hyundai/Kia has really good Black color paints that looks really good on their cars. EV6 and Ioniq5 black paints looks very nice especially when clean and shiny. I think the difference with normal and sports is the acceleration curve. Sport is quicker to start but slows down but normal is more linear (comfortable) curve.

I absolutely love how the Ioniq 6 looks

Ioniq 5N spec released: 478kW(650ps, 640HP), curb weight is 2200kg(4840lbs), 84kW battery pack. In S. Korea, Ioniq 5N is just 5.5~6% percent more expensive than Kia EV6 GT.

You are by far the best car presenter you give so much Intel information on the car you are describing and then mention the other cars in comparisonAnd it’s class keep up the great videos every time I see a new car like this one today I came straight to you to get my opinion the fiesta flash

Porsche & Mercedes had a kid.❤

I get 270 miles only charging to 80%, really good for commuting.

Everything looks great with the car but I can't get over the exterior shape. I would choose the Ioniq 5 over this tbh.

It's worth noting that the NHTSA just opened an investigation on the Ioniq 6 over multiple customer reports of sudden unexpected power loss while driving.

I'm making this my next car, I know first year sales have been less than they expected so they hope it sticks around for that long

This needs to be a lift back.

Super nice. Those touches u mentioned are obviously being reserved for the Genesis version. But for this not being a luxury car, it is super nice and I am glad we are getting vehicles that are a little bit diff.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! it reminds me of the blue Porsche from the movie Cars!

I picked up the first Limited Ioniq 6 sent to Utah in Salt Lake on May 1st. It is a better looking car in person than in pictures! Transmission Blue with light interior. Leased it for the $7500. mfg. rebate and then canceled lease by paying it off for only $499. penalty. Well built, good dealer suoppor, perhaps should have picked up the red but did not want a black interior. Sad they did not include the HUD as in Canada. Highway driving it feels very sporty and comfortable. One of the best things about it is that it doesn't look like all the other Tesla (me too's) on the road!!

I bought the RWD version of that vehicle. Absolutely love it!

Don't agree with the boot capacity. It is surprisingly roomy. Can easily fit two large suitcases, one small suitcase, and a couple of duffle bags. It is more than enough and a good compromise overall for the efficiency gains of the vehicle.

I would black out the Hyundai logos and the wheels. The style is growing on me, a lot actually.

Already won me over with that sliding sunroof!

It is a great bargain at 38,000 dollars. It has a better drag coefficient (.21) vs. Porsche Taycan (.22). It has a better review of ratings. I drove this EV (with odometer reading 38,000 km)for 1,000 miles. One has to drive it for a long distance to know how good it drives. I agree it looks better in dark colors

This looks like a EV version of the Mercedes CLA

Friend got stranded in his when it wouldnt charge.

I am seriously considering EV's now and the competition is tough. If I ever choose Ioniq 6 over any other EVs, that is only because the killer back end of this car. Reminds me Porsches. It'd look amazing in British Green color. By the way, I'm glad that your voice is much better now, Sofyan.

Definitely after watching this video I’ll take this one over Tesla . Great job 👏🏻

I like this car. However the trunk opening could be better. It should be liftback. The rear en of the car reminds me a Porsche and a Infiniti J30 from the 90's. Acceleration and interior room are good enough for me

Hoping to get this car in 2 years, hopefully they still have them around by then. It's a lovely looking sedan for an EV to me.

Please explain why this car is not eligible for the federal USA 7500 credit and why it should be. Hyundai motor group is building new assembly plant(s) in the US to build this and other new Hyundia/Kia/Genesis electric vehicles in the US. The fact this one is built in Korea today should not dis-qualify for the tax credit given Hyundia is actively buildings new factories in the USA. This is one of the most energy efficient electric vehicles sold in the USA, Americans should be encouraged to buy more efficient vehicles, not pushed away to go buy Hummer EV Also, I don’t know why people keep saying this, it does NOT charge at 350 kW on a DCFC. It will max out at about 240 kW if you use a 360 kW charger! 240 is still fast, but there’s so much confusion about this. You need a 350 kW or higher to get the maximum charge rate, but it will NOT charge at 350

Saw & sat in one like this, but with black interior at Hyundai of CFL in Clermont FL. Very nice vehicle. Text drove an Ioniq5. Liked it very much as well. Instead, purchased a 2024 Hyundai Tucson Limited.

I'm thinking about this car and this video is very helpful. Tomorrow is the test drive of Std AWD.... Consumer report rates it higher than both Tesla 3 and S.

I just got out of my model 3 for a new ioniq 6 long range, so far I love this vehicle much more than my Tesla. Only con for me is that the led headlights aren’t that bright. Other than that it’s amazing

I saw this exact spec on the road the other day. And yes, I turned my head.

I love it when you and Alex does a review together… Great review anyway keep up the good work

Got a chance to drive one and on top of that My neighbors got them and they are really great cars The main drawback is yes the range is a little lower than the Tessa but not by much. But the overall interior quality and feel is much greater than the Tesla and who cares is the Tesla is faster no one's driving these cars fast anyways. And if you want the one with the most range by far it's the base model with the smaller wheels the range is much higher

Did I here 360 miles on the model with the smaller rims? I would do that one for sure. Imagine if all car manufactures put 17s on their electric and hybrid vehicles? It’s better for range

I want a white one with the smaller wheels in black

Smart park can also be used to park the car in a spot with the key fob. I am not sure if I've ever seen you demonstrate this in a review of the HKG products?

I’ve just ordered one! Get it may 9th 😊

I’ve seen two in my area so far! It looks really nice but to be honest, the new Prius looks very nice! I’ve seen a few of them now.

2:58 Sleek? Yes. Attractive? Not even close.

As usual, nice thorough review. Strange that my Elantra SEL has wireless Android, but the Ioniq 6 Ltd doesn't.

I love this car except for one thing that may be specific to me. The seat is just a bit too low to the floor. I would already have one otherwise! I may be the age where a crossover is they way forward.

I love that the back looks like a J30 but modernized.

“You drove a Hun-Day to get here tonight. I drove an $80,000 BMW.” That’s now a compliment.

Beautiful car! We just got ours and love it.

I'd take this over one of Elmo's rattletraps any day...

Was wondering if it would possible to switch out the wheels of this trim to a smaller one to get better range/mileage

Owner here. The door handles actually do close themselves when you walk away. But, only does so if you did not open the door.

I really liked this car was given the choice at rental in LA problem is when you need to recharge if they are working someone else is already there. Tried three locations each had at east one broken charger. Had to return the car at less than 30% company wanted to charge me for not being 70%,

In Sweden we get heads up display as well as matrix lights and digital mirrors.

If I were to get an EV, this would be the one, in this color and trim Everybody has a Model 3, and I can't roll with everybody like that I'm sexy.😎

hy, from where do you got the windshield mount for the gopro ?

11:52 - ambient light 👏

You are the best! So much info.

No it started with the Ioniq Hybrid in 2017 and the Ioniq Ev with 190miles of range

Sooo beautiful

Really been considering either an Ioniq 6 RWD or the new Polestar 2 RWD for a daily commuter EV. I hope some review will compare the 2 directly to see which is the better Model 3 alternative.

Thank you for another great, informative review and content. I have not test driven this car but getting to sit in one and messing with all of the buttons, it is a nice possibility of an EV one day.

Sofyan, try to add some graphics about 0-60 accelerates. All your tries in one table, for example.

Are you done with the NAIAS videos?

Fastest talking car reviewer right there

any update on wireless apple car play?

You can get the LR Model 3 for $37k with the $10.5k state and federal incentives. I don't think that price can be beat.

Looks anazing in the dark green offered🔥🔥

Nice to see another sedan on sale.

Do I get this or wait for a Highland Model 3. 😩😩 Help me decide.

What was the circular vent (?) to the left of the starter button? Thanks

It's not bad, very plasticy inside, especially for a $55k otd. Test drive a Model 3 SR, much higher quality interior, navigation, key and superior Supercharging and great prices used

The shape of the car reminds me of the Mercur XR4ti from the 80s. The real problem is you can't reliably charge it and help from Tesla isn't coming. And it's HEAVY. I like the style except for the terrible bumpers. The fob looks like a Mork and Mindy toy.

Hyundai will not change to tesla charger. There is no need. Tesla & CCS chargers both use same ISO 15118 standard protocol. Just need an adapter.

I have been considering the Ioniq 6 in 2024 when I intend to move on from my aging Tesla Model S. I've owned 2 Genesis sedans in the past and had great experiences with Hyundai in those 2 vehicles. But....the recent battery replacement issues (multiple owners with warranty claims not honored for absurd reasons, leaving them with $45k HV battery replacement costs) have caused me to completely remove it from my list. It's a shame, but I can't KNOWINGLY sign myself up for headaches. If Hyundai reverses course and handles these situations appropriately before I'm ready, I'll consider it again. As of now, I'm only considering another Tesla....the devil you know.

wonder what type of 12v batt it has? hope not lead acid

This is really a beautiful ev car from Hyundai,I dig it

I feel like this is a reincarnated Saab! What topped the cherry is the window controls in the center console.

Does the Tesla Model 3 refreshed version have more than 400 miles range?

Luv the Porsche looks. This over the model 3 anyday

Just got one with like $12,500 in incentives

Way better looking than boring model 3

Door locks/window switches are also for cost-cutting!

It's funny people compare real cars to Teslas. Yes, the model 3 is fast and efficient. Yes, the screen and tech is impressive. Yes, the supercharger network is by far the best. HOWEVER - Teslas are built like crap with no quality control, constantly break down or have annoying issues, a lot of cheap plastics and materials, ride comfort is terrible, road and wind noise are mediocre and price fluctuations are crazy. On top of that, you don't get android auto or apple car play and you get to pay Tesla for connectivity services to have the same feature your phone already has and could use if they supported them. Operating the car has some strange choices with complicating simple tasks unnecessarily. You're re-programmed to drive the "Tesla way", and if you're unlucky, your superchargers would have long lines waiting to charge. Overall, EVs are still on their first steps and aren't for anyone but Tesla should stick to selling its tech, data, and infrastructure to real car manufacturers who perfected the art of actually building cars.

The first IONIQ was in 2020, I owned one

The rear engineer said, 1990's 911....oh WAIT! Make it look like an Infiniti J30 instead.

"Hun-day" - NO! "Hyun-day" - Yes. Protip: "Hyun" is one syllable. It's like saying, "Tyota" or "Mitsbishi" or "KA" or "Mazd"

They arent selling, they have numerous issues

Charge port overheats, research prior to purchase. Class action suit following from Hagens Berman.

How much is the limited edition?

Heads up display is available in the top trim.

So is it kinda deep or really shallow? 😊

Infiniti J30 yup

I'd considering buying one if it were a liftback.

I interest to get a 23' Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV car.

We all know the EPA's range data is a lie. They say it's a 270 mile range while in actuality it is more 190ish. We all DRIVE, sometimes we have the heater or AC at full blast and we listen to music as well. Please try to be honest about your findings.

i was so excited for this and they screwed this up bad, the pricing is ridiculous. the ioniq 6 is a model 3 comp, but costs more than the ioniq 5 which is a model Y competitor (more expensive)

Will other car companies get the ev tax cut like Tesla? They get 7.5k deduction, how much does Hyundai get?

57K? maybe if it had Genesis name on it, then maybe yes..

I just dont understand? What is your problem with maserati? They are bringing out so many new vehicles to compete with Mercedes and bmw like the grecale, granturismo, mc20 yet u just ignore it.

Lucky# is 222... is it a sign
