It would have been nice to mention that the cheapest version rn (SE) has 360 miles of range! I think that's going to be the most popular trim that people buy.
I've read that wheel size is the main contributor to the range between trims. Someone should get the highest trim level on the RWD and swap out the wheels and test it out for us.
i am not a EV guy. but if i would to get one, difinialty tesla. NOt chinese, Not Hyundai nor KIA. those are one of the most dangerous and poor quality car in the market.
@@newchannel1220 ah yes teslas are very high quality with their famously amazing quality control, very accurate marketing, and amazing UX decisions like getting rid of the windshield wiper levers /s
pretty cool how they took some 90s GM concept cars and somehow made it into production. Look up the Cirrus concept or the Neon concept looks very similar.
The headlights look like the Toyota GR86 and the tailights look like a lightbar you find on most Porsches these days. It's not really that out of this world...
using a separate microphone is a definitely a plus for me! i've been asking for a wireless mic like the one from DJI to improve consistency of sound presence
Rode Wireless Go II would kind of be the best approachable option for a wireless mic paired with a phone. However, even a cheap wired lav under the shirt could avoid wind noise and the issue of audio level inconsistency depending on where the camera is pointed.
@@MathieuFRAPPIER 13:06 he states that he's using a new microphone. he points to the bottom of the phone which probably implies that it is not a wireless set up. i understand the uniqueness of only using a smartphone to do these videos. but bad audio is just bad audio. you lose attention with slight distraction. i've been suggesting that it's not worth the poor quality audio produced between each swing of the camera.
The interior is made with recycled material so it's meant to focus on sustainability, not to be confused with it being cheap. They did a good job with the recycled material, making it look and feel as good as possible. Pretty hard task I'd imagine.
@@Spo8 , Yea that's unfortunate. I like what they did with the textured center console area though. It really helps in masking the hard surface, while making it less scratch resistant. ie...hides it better as if it was a smooth surface.
I've had my Ioniq 6 for 2 months and love it, I'm a disabled veteran and it does everything I need and more, the size is just right for me and my wife, I bought it for the style and saving money from not buying gas.
I'm glad to hear that this car is good as well as beautiful. It would be my choice were I to acquire a car (fat chance!). Please keep us updated on its performance over the next couple of years- I want to see how it does over time.
The Hyundai/Kia lineup is killing it! Hyundai is stepping up its game with great-looking, quality EVs. The IONIQ 6's efficiency and range make it stand out, but the IONIQ 5's added space and hatchback style appeal to me more. Both are excellent choices from Hyundai, making EVs more attractive to customers/reviewers like me.
Overly priced but lack the performance and value of a Tesla. Classic Korean. They couldn’t compete in reliability with the Japanese and now EV against Tesla. So they throw in more options as standard.
The microphone is soooo much better. None of that weird panning effect from left to right from before. I prefer the design of the 6 but not enough to choose it over the practicality of the 5. I can’t really afford either anyway, not just yet. Would love to see you review the atto 3
The IONIQ 6 is an amazing car. Range shouldn't be an issue as it's VERY commonly used as a taxi in South Korea. This thing drives all around the big city from day to night without a need to recharge in between. Had the chance to hail one during my trip there last week and absolutely loved the ride.
@@evilbred974 I understand, but that's your opinion. I strongly believe there's a place for all body styles in today's world, sedans included. I'm not gonna hate on sedans since I drive a '20 Kia K5. It's lovely, fulfils everything I need from a car and definitely drives better than my wife's '14 Golf. I still think the IONIQ 6 is a beautifully designed car.
Unless you have an 8K TV or laptop screen, how can you tell? I watched on a 4K TV. I don't watch enough of his videos to know if the sound is better or anything else is better.
This is some great technology. I have noticed Hyundai has been really making some great looking cars past years. The thing which I also love is that it is a brand known for great quality. Imma check it out.
As a driver of Ioniq 5 for the last 18 months or so I can vouch for Hyundai's superior approach to the driving experience and most solutions. A few kinks here and there, but those are hopefully being mended over time. I wouldn't trade my 5 with a 6, but I love what Hyundai is doing right now.
it's those bigger, wider wheels on the higher trim package ...I wonder if they offer an option of everything from the higher package without the wheels
Usually, higher trims come with more advanced features, which may consume additional power and affect the overall range. It looks to be the case with more EVs coming to market.
I just test drove this, in Black. Comes across as bigger, and taller, than you expect. Looks amazing in person, especially with the top wheels. Acres of presence Black is the right color for it, murdered out, with like 22" wheels, like the "Prophecy" Concept
I think most people feel the same. The sedan niche is kinda filled by kias offering, and at a better value while having the same tech. The I5 just makes more sense.
Great video! 250 miles is only for this top trim, the RWD with same battery size is something around 360 miles which is pretty impressive actually. And the AWD with smaller wheels and less premium features can also get something around 315 miles. So, the range is pretty good if you choose small wheels or RWD or both.
Sucks that you cannot have the upper trim features and the smaller tire of the base trim at the same time. Wonder if Huyndai dealers let you swap the wheels like that
@@DerekHansell I live in Canada and the snow were just melted 2 weeks ago, lol I would definitely take the AWD version because of the snow and smaller tires because of the range.
I really enjoyed this review of the Ioniq 6. You have the best best vocal tone & pacing that I've heard from any reviewer that I currently listen too! Instant Subscribers subscriber!
This video wasn't entirely shot by a smart phone, I noticed the part were you used either a drone or the robot, and thought man he must really love this car. ^^
I think he used some kind of gimbal coz it is really stable and is able to shift the camera around inside the cabin without needing to awkwardly switch hands. He's also able to shift seamlessly from a regular to a telephoto lens. And there's also the mid-chest shots too so something mechanical for sure
@@moatazabdulhady8813 Both of those exterior pan shots are possible with a phone, and consistent with handheld or possibly a telescoping gimbal like an Osmo. The first one is probably held over his head and moved down, the second one he's holding it low and walking backwards. They're both fairly jerky with unintentional movement.
@@46Magethey really do honestly I only ever saw it in person and I was confused at how it drastically it looks different in person. That said I’ve ever seen a gray one
@11202 It's not "grey"it is "Transmission blue", means there is a blue color shining through the grey color as soon as sunlight hits it.... I ordered my Ioniq 6 last week in exactly this color, looking forward to get it end of April....👍😉
I think it will be awesome if you could host a comparision table on the specs and your review score by categories. For all the cars you reviewed so far.
This goes for many other car companies though. Who would have thought that Dacia, Kia or Skoda would start making good looking cars? I don't think you need to poach talent for this, seems just a new generation of designers in the industry who know what they're doing.
It seems like Hyundai is making an entirely new reputation for themselves with these EVs compared to their normal 'boring' cars (sans the Veloster N, of course). I feel like people might accept them better if they pulled a Volvo > Polestar type deal and made a new sub-brand that only makes EVs, but either way they're doing a great job. I'm aware that they've already got Genesis, but they also are doing double-duty gas+EVs.
It won't be too long before they will be forced to drop all of their ICE vehicles. Price parity will happen fairly soon and with the sky rocketing fuel costs, it'll be the death knell of new ICE vehicle manufacturing.
@@StephenShawCanada I bet they’ll keep some of their old models. Just make electric versions. Theyve already done it with the kona. Maybe make their old “generic” cars the lower end and have the ioniqs be their “premium” line.
@@StephenShawCanada Not everyone wants an EV. In fact a large portion of the population does not. It will be a long transition for the entire auto industry.
Hyundai and KIA are some companies who are successfully integrating EV into their Branding, unlike almost all the other companies who just make "EV" versions they don't really have a sustainable plan for EV and are just hoping they can slap an EV tag on and price their Cars at 50k and trucks at 100k It's nice to see some companies actually care enough to put in the time to move forward, I didn't expect to see ANY Ioniq 5's in my small city (45,000people) and they are honestly so many, it's dope
I just bought this vehicle. I totally fell in ❤ with this car the moment I saw it in person. It gave me the feel of Audi A7. I would take Ionic 6 over 5, hands down, because the sporty design of 6 provides a compelling presence. I think, for the general public, they may confuse it with a Porsche or a Tesla. It’s a futuristic comparison without the knock off feel. I’m sure I will feel fine with that 😂
Same!!! I went in the showroom with my bro, since it would be my first ride. I was there for the 5 but then I saw this bad boy 😍 I was an immediate traitor 😅 I loved it so much I couldn't even feel the shame. But I told him to talk me down from the EV bridge since I'd already sold myself. Tbh till today I can't remember much of what he stated was a drawback except the charging inconvenience. But I know he had a handful of points, just needed to see them here to be bought back to earth and NONE of y'all are doing it 😂
The mic was much better than usual mate. If it was my money, I'd buy the Kia EV6, as much as I love the Ioniq5 and 6, and I really do, I think their styling is going to date really quickly, particularly with the 6 and it's Porsche/Citroen riffs. With that in mind, dropping 50k on one of these, I'd want to keep it for as long as possible, so I'd take the Kia as I think it would look the freshest for longest. I'd be happy with any of them though, just to be clear.
honestly, for $45,000, you could buy a brand new tesla model Y or a 3LR. if the interior quality was more impressive i’d be more inclined to want something from hyundai, but it’s just as minimal as tesla here lol
@@bg-sj9tx i mean obviously not but this thing is basically the same interior quality or worse, PLUS no supercharger network and less range/slower. tesla is still the obvious win for non-luxury EVs
The 6 is just awesome! So fun to drive while still being efficient and many many tech features that I love. I'm driving it since May last year and I love it!!
@@mindblownwhattheydidntteachyou for me it's like driving a combustion car bcs we need pauses anyway for toilet visits or just moving the legs after a 3 hour ride. If this pause is combined with a charging pause, it's fine for us and no Delay
@@lutz_utz-utz appreciate that man 🙏🏽 looks like I'm returning to the Hyundai courts to levy my case for getting this haha my bro thinks I should get something more "robust and reliable" like an Audi Q or Jeep... Maybe I can stomach a Jeep but I can't connect to the car... As much as he made some decent points that day we saw the ioniqs, I still keep coming back here and I'd rather hear the take from REAL drivers of the car!
@@lutz_utz-utz just seen what I remember in your dp 😍 damn that black is sexy.... You know what screw it, I'll go through the formalities of looking at others but they'd have to present a strong case to get me to convert!!
@@mindblownwhattheydidntteachyou those quotes only come from ppl that know Hyundai from 2001 or so... The brand changed enormously in the last recent years. They're up top and Audi can't match. Go for a Porsche Taycan 2025 if you can afford it but otherwise I recommend the Iq6
The rear end is giving me major Merkur XR4Ti vibes, which was a great looking car for the time. The double spoiler rear end instantly reminded me of the Merkur.
Funny enough if I had to describe this car with one word it would definitely be the "Blobbish" you said it isn't 🤣. Car looks like a primary school side profile car drawing 🤷
I've always been swayed by aesthetics over practicality every single time, so it's definitely the 6 for me. But like any other 'first' generation release, it's always the worst version to buy. And with every iteration, just like the Model 3 when it first launched, it gets better over time. Not to mention I hardly hear any tax credits or rebates with this car, vs what you could save if you went with the more established Model 3.
I really like the appearance of the Ioniq 6 and it seems to be an EV that almost scratches every itch I have. Ideally they'd have used that giant rear end as a hatch instead of having a bucket trunk but that's my main complaint. It's roomy, has nice tech, and the price is almost reasonable. Of course, I think it looks awesome. Like if someone took the design cues from a Porsche but made it fully EV.
The mic is a great improvement. The second thing is some kind of phone grip for video shooting? Loved the design! From the outside, looks like a Citroën with Renault's headlights and Porsche's rear. But is the interior design the one that gets my hopes high for the future. It's functional, no nonsense. Does not tries to impress, just to function. The type of interior I would love to see in affordable EVs... when they do become affordable.
I own an Ioniq 5 and it's awesome (with the exception of a brutal Apple Carplay experience that randomly disconnects). Rode in an Ioniq 6 taxi in Korea a few weeks ago and I'd love to have one of those too. The cabin is so spacious and the exterior is beautiful. Kia and Hyundai are killing it.
@LifeIsFun Android Auto unfortunately has the same issues in my car. Hyundai has to fix that. Widespread issue affecting all the cars on this platform. Forums full of owners complaining about it.
I think we are at a stage, where we have to look at materials in a different way. Even BMW with their 100k and beyond cars go recycled materials. And its a great thing. For our Ioniq 5 after over 50k km it still is amazing, no cracking, no material bleeding off or anything. REALLY good. I´d love that this take becomes a bit more common, so that they are rewarded for using recycled material over technically more expensive leather or others that just feel out of place with sustainable mobilty approach.
The I6 is all about range and effeciency, while the I5 is more about practicallity. I wouldn´t switch my I5 for this, but I can understand if would. It´s fun, cause in europe, we get a much bigger frunk in the RWD versions. Around 54 liters compared to the 20´ish we see here. That can hold all the charging stuff, whipe fluid etc. so you don´t need to have that in the car. And the sound in this video is awesome, can´t guess the other change :D
Funny; I just saw a commercial for one and immediately came to your channel to find it. I thought it looks really cool, looking forward to learn more from you.
I've wanted the Ioniq 6 since it was Project Prophecy, I love that they didn't actually change TOO much about it! The Mic in the video sounded really nice, levelled the frequencies of your voice out, not too bassy or high and I'm going to assume the second thing you did different was actual recording?!
Have had the 6 for almost a week. Nice so far. I would say those range numbers are on the low end. Been seeing numbers well into the 300s myself and from others with the AWD drive SEL and Limited models, and as stated by others the SE RWD gets 360 miles of range. Though I am driving exclusively in ECO mode and use the I-Pedal as much as possible. Also an interesting note, those wings on the sides of the dash are screens for side cameras (replacing the side mirrors), which are unfortunately not allowed in the US. Wish they had found a use for the screens on the US models.
The audio quality is significantly better than before, thank you! As for choosing between IONIQ 5 vs 6, for me, I'd say depends what your needs are: more space and practicality? IONIQ 5. Don't need a crossover/SUV body style and want a Porsche-like body style sedan? IONIQ 6. Plus the IONIQ 5 doesn't seem to have the issue of the rear glass getting all mucked up due to the lack of a wiper like the IONIQ 5. Bad thing about the IONIQ 6 that I can see? Insane/ridiculous price gouging/markups from dealers. Lastly, no federal tax credits for either one.
No markups in my area for either so I guess it depends. Hyundai is offering the 7500 in the form of a lease incentive (they get the tax credit and pass it on) since leases have none of the consumer requirements for the credit.
Great video like always! Just feel like you should start mentioning some details of the other trims of the cars in these videos! It would have been cool to talk about the lowest trim of these having 360 miles of range.
If you know, why does he need to mention it? He's not obligated to mention anything outside of what he likes considering it's quite literally free advertising.
Hey! Great video love the car but i would love to see a video of you comparing all the Eva for different price ranges just to see you quick and general opinions and rankings for them!
The mic helps tremendously, I think the other thing maybe you did something with stabilization. Sweeping camera movements didn’t seem so jittery. If an iPhone maybe action mode? I watched in 4K on a 65 inch LG OLED C9, I think I noticed really nice sharpness and contrast in the image. The contours in the vehicle trim and interior were well defined with shadows etc. There was a really nice depth of field at the beginning with the buildings and field in the back. Colors at times (green) seemed over saturated, makes me think not an iPhone. Did you change from smartphone to a point and shoot like Sony ZV-1F or Canon Powershot SX740?? Overall I love what Hyundai has been doing. I’d prefer the Ioniq 5 limited given hatchback and rear space. But the sporty look of the 6 is amazing.
I totally missed that, thanks for pointing that out. I’m still stumped what’s different then regarding the cameras, something about this looks clearer and sharper and I’m watching in 4K. Overall the video looks smoother so maybe action mode is my only guess, if it’s not a new camera. I wouldn’t put it past the channel to still put iPhone 14 Pro in the description even if this is the first time being shot with a new camera while asking viewers if they notice a difference. Wouldn’t want to give it away in the description, but may announce in the next video.
@@mrbrandonoldham I doubt he would just lie to his audience like that. If Marques says "Shot on an iPhone" then it was shot on an iPhone. What he may have done is increase the amount of editing that goes into these videos. Maybe he's doing more sharpening, color corrections etc in post-production. And I actually do think, especially the selfie shots giveaway that this is almost certainly on a phone. The blur does look quite artificial imo. Also around 1:20, when his hand appears, if you pause, you will see some weird blurring artefacts that I don't think you would see with a decent actual camera. And...If you look in the rear view mirror at 6:58...There you have it. He does seem to have a gimbal device holding it steady, but it's definitely not a camera.
Nice review as usual, I think the thing other than the mic has something to do with the auto zoom you did when you were shooting the dashboard, there's no way you could've zoomed in and out that smoothly without assistance, I think it's a gimbal with zoom control.
Loving my SE AWD after 2 weeks/1500 miles! Getting the ~320ish full range now I’ve learned to use the regen braking properly and sun 20 minute 10/20-80/90% fast charging has been consistent. Also very fun in sport mode…
Drove the RWD version of this car around 2 weeks ago( in the EU). Its pretty comfortable, drives quite nice, some critisisms the seat feels like it should be able to go lower but stops somewhat high, also with the recent price drops on the Tesla cars i don't know if the 60k (local price incl vat) Ioniq 6 offers better value over the 52k (incl vat) long range Tesla model 3... Hard to choose which to go with
52k is for performance Model 3 not long range. Soon they will relaunch long range at even cheaper price but tbh 36250$ Model 3 after tax credit is the best deal right now
3:25 honestly I'd just use that to keep a first aid kit / emergency food + water. Nice to keep out the way but can't think of anything else worth putting there.
I have the Ioniq 5, and I am obsessed with my car. When I got it, it was exactly what I needed. The more I look at the I6, the more I like it. I wasn't a fan of how it looks, but now that I am seeing them on the road they are nice! I would get both if I had that kind of money. Maybe when my ICE dies and I need to upgrade, I'll take a look at the other EV options. My I5 has been perfection though, so don't plan on getting rid of that anytime soon.
Damn dude! Where do you folk get money for such car. I’m paying off bank loan for $4000 car. Btw monthly salary here is 8 times smaller than in country where you live($600). Dang. I feel like I will drive these cars in like 40 years when they get obsolete and useless.
@@mrboleus8240 Thankfully, with the right budgeting, it was possible for me and my family. We had both of our sedans paid off for like 2 years, so the payments we WERE making, were going towards a new car. Plus, since there was a 10-ish month waitlist at the time, I was able to put money aside for a deposit. If it wasn't for a two-salary household with 0 kids, we wouldn't have been able to get it. Additionally, provincial and federal rebates took $10k off the top. Wouldn't dare buy a second brand-new vehicle until this one is mostly paid off, but I can dream!
@@mrboleus8240eventually even basic economy cars will be electric. I feel for you though, an EV just doesn't fit into my budget either but I can dream.
Finally, someone who actually likes the design of the Ioniq 6. I personally love it, so different and with a lot of personality, not just a boring generic look.
The key is actually the "H" logo that's on Hyundai Cas. The buttons are the empty spaces in the logo (You have to turn the oval shaped key that you're holding sideways to see it)
I really like the look of this car. That swooping arc reminds me of Porsche. I was considering the Ioniq 5 and noticed the same type of materials that you mention in this video. Plus the dealers in my area have a $10k markup over MSRP. I eventually went with the VW ID.4. I hope you get a chance to review one.
Love the Ioniq6...but the Ioniq5 is more my thing with the added space. Kia EV6 is also pretty awesome too.. tough choice. One thing is for sure, Hyundai / Kia / Genesis fraternal triplets are absolutely killing it right now.. Keep up the amazing work
I usually stick to sedans, but if it were between the 5 and 6, I’d have to choose the Ioniq 5. It’s not really an SUV like they market it to be, and it really just looks like a large hot hatch with some really cool styling
Mic is definitely better this time 👍 Well, I have an ID5 and my wife just received her Cupra born. Both cars are based on VW EMB. I prefer the quality it comes with in both cars, I traded my A6 2020 for the ID5 and I don't miss a thing 😊
I chose the ioniq 5 over then 6 just last week. And the mileage you get will adjust based on your driving. I have the awd version and it was supposed to only get something like 267 miles for 100% charge. I charged up to 90% and the range says I’ll get 300 miles. I drive mixed surface streets/highway and drive regular. Not heavy footed.
Nope ... the Prophecy is the pre-production inspiration and looked much better vs the Ioniq 6. They removed too much from the Prophecy. Look for some videos on it and you'll understand.
You should check wether the RWD also has the tiny frunk. On my RWD Ioniq5, it was shipped-as all North American models-with the small frunk from the AWD (extra motor cuts down on available room for a frunk). I bought from Korea the normal Eruo/Asian RWD frunk, which takes the 26L to 54L, an actual useful size. Not cheap, but cheaper than motorcycle saddlebags, to put it in perspective. The theory of why it shipped with the small frunk is the NA rules on vehicle escape requirements of having a button to open frunk. The measure of it is apparently a 3 year old reference mannequin. But a few models were actually shipped in Quebec with the large frunk. So our assumption is just that Hyundai was cheaping out.
I have had the AWD Ioniq 5 since last summer and average 295-310 miles of range, well over the estimated 256 miles. There are ways to use it as a RWD to add range, I suspect Ioniq 6 will be similar
Video quality seems better, Audio quality much better - very noticable, and half way through the video I was thinking about asking what mic you were using (clearly not the iPhone - cue hate mail :-). In fact the video seems more stabilized and possibly sharper (or better contrast - not sure). I really appreciated the 'dual / opposite camera' shots - one looking forward at the road and one looking at you whilst your narration continued seamlessly between the opposite camera shots - very clever. Finally - thanks for making quality videos that are very well though out.
I'm actually surprised that the top trim is only rated 250mi. I suspect it might get better than that because their family of EVs have a reputation of delivering at or above the EPA-rating. I have the GV60 performance and I've pretty much been around 235mi rating during this mild, albeit wet winter in CA and it's getting better now that we're transitioning through spring and into summer. The I6 would likely outperform in long-distance freeway driving though because of it's aerodynamics.
Price is actually scary (at least where I am) but you know what, YOLO. I bought one and I'm happy I did over the competitors (which for me are Tesla and Polestar).
It would have been nice to mention that the cheapest version rn (SE) has 360 miles of range! I think that's going to be the most popular trim that people buy.
Agree. Unfortunately that is its best feature. Too bad they stripped that trim level down so much on other features.
360 mile range is the only reason I would choose it over the other cars on this platform.
I've read that wheel size is the main contributor to the range between trims. Someone should get the highest trim level on the RWD and swap out the wheels and test it out for us.
Nearly 580km of range for the cheapest model? That's really good

Thank you for putting the 6’3 height reference into your videos so that we can gauge the size of the backseats. Nice touch!
The frame design for the display screens is just so much more integrated and better looking than any new BWM...
The IONIQ 6 is an amazing car. Range shouldn't be an issue as it's VERY commonly used as a taxi in South Korea. This thing drives all around the big city from day to night without a need to recharge in between. Had the chance to hail one during my trip there last week and absolutely loved the ride.
I really hate that it's a sedan. It looks like it could have been a hatchback, which would have been far more convenient. Who buys a sedan in 2023?
@@evilbred974 I mean, there's the IONIQ 5? The line-up can't be all hatchbacks. A planned SUV IONIQ is coming next.
@@pentecost_ IoniQ 5 is a crossover, not a hatchback car.
Sedans are just objectively worse. There's no advantage to them.
@@evilbred974 I understand, but that's your opinion. I strongly believe there's a place for all body styles in today's world, sedans included. I'm not gonna hate on sedans since I drive a '20 Kia K5. It's lovely, fulfils everything I need from a car and definitely drives better than my wife's '14 Golf. I still think the IONIQ 6 is a beautifully designed car.
KiA hyundai EVs have battery degradation issue.
within 5 year lose like 45% capacity. not recommended to say least..
Looks like you were filming in 8k or something. Video showed a LOT of detail and was very sharp. Audio was great too!
Unless you have an 8K TV or laptop screen, how can you tell? I watched on a 4K TV. I don't watch enough of his videos to know if the sound is better or anything else is better.
probably the mic is one of those attached to the phone and not the default one
its filmed on an iphone.....
Recorded on S23 ultra I would guess
Was the iphone on a gimbal
This is some great technology. I have noticed Hyundai has been really making some great looking cars past years. The thing which I also love is that it is a brand known for great quality. Imma check it out.
As a driver of Ioniq 5 for the last 18 months or so I can vouch for Hyundai's superior approach to the driving experience and most solutions. A few kinks here and there, but those are hopefully being mended over time. I wouldn't trade my 5 with a 6, but I love what Hyundai is doing right now.
Ironically, getting the lowest trim increases range to 300+
it's those bigger, wider wheels on the higher trim package ...I wonder if they offer an option of everything from the higher package without the wheels
@@llamaSHORTS1 true, but they should have also bumped the battery size for the AWD versions like some other companies do to offset it
Usually, higher trims come with more advanced features, which may consume additional power and affect the overall range. It looks to be the case with more EVs coming to market.
The audio sounds so crisp for this style of video. Nice work!
Iphone video really is on another level(an android user)
@@theape6778 vivo x90 does it better (android user also)
yeah for real. i'm really curious what mic he's using now
@@theape6778 It's the seperate mic he's using now
the video looks really sharp and beatifully detailed as well
I just test drove this, in Black.
Comes across as bigger, and taller, than you expect.
Looks amazing in person, especially with the top wheels. Acres of presence
Black is the right color for it, murdered out, with like 22" wheels, like the "Prophecy" Concept
I just LOVE the ioniq 6 esthetic!
I saw one in cherry red on the highway in Luxembourg and i fell in love instantly
I would get the Ioniq 5 with the hatch and added practicality, and I also like the way it looks over the 6.
Having that extra cargo space can be incredibly useful for everyday errands, road trips, or any adventures.
I think most people feel the same.
The sedan niche is kinda filled by kias offering, and at a better value while having the same tech.
The I5 just makes more sense.
Great video!
250 miles is only for this top trim, the RWD with same battery size is something around 360 miles which is pretty impressive actually.
And the AWD with smaller wheels and less premium features can also get something around 315 miles.
So, the range is pretty good if you choose small wheels or RWD or both.
Yeah the RWD 350 is the one I’d definitely go with
Y'all don't live where there's significant snow fall, do you?
Sucks that you cannot have the upper trim features and the smaller tire of the base trim at the same time. Wonder if Huyndai dealers let you swap the wheels like that
@@mcslender2965 Exactly! Descent range + all features aren't the best? Why offer the top trim with least range, this is sooo strange...
@@DerekHansell I live in Canada and the snow were just melted 2 weeks ago, lol
I would definitely take the AWD version because of the snow and smaller tires because of the range.
I was pretty impressed with the 5. Now that they've come out with the 6, I think I've found my dream car.
I really enjoyed this review of the Ioniq 6. You have the best best vocal tone & pacing that I've heard from any reviewer that I currently listen too! Instant Subscribers subscriber!
This video wasn't entirely shot by a smart phone, I noticed the part were you used either a drone or the robot, and thought man he must really love this car. ^^
Thought the same thing, but I like it.
I think it was entirely with a phone, what looked like a drone?
I think he used some kind of gimbal coz it is really stable and is able to shift the camera around inside the cabin without needing to awkwardly switch hands. He's also able to shift seamlessly from a regular to a telephoto lens. And there's also the mid-chest shots too so something mechanical for sure
@@MattBlank0 Go to mark 4:15
@@moatazabdulhady8813 Both of those exterior pan shots are possible with a phone, and consistent with handheld or possibly a telescoping gimbal like an Osmo. The first one is probably held over his head and moved down, the second one he's holding it low and walking backwards. They're both fairly jerky with unintentional movement.
How many times did you say ioniq 5 instead of "6"?
This is an ioniq 5 - way better then the ioniq 5 😂
That’s weird indeed especially when 5 is very beautiful and 6 is very ugly.

Thanks for the review! Looking at this currently..
I think it will be awesome if you could host a comparision table on the specs and your review score by categories. For all the cars you reviewed so far.
If you told me a few years ago that I would like the styling of a Hyundai, I would have laughed. Wild how strong their design team has become.
You like that weird double spoiler?
@@aminfozdar I didn’t say I love everything about their design, I’m impartial to the spoiler. I said I like the upgraded styling.
@@aminfozdar not a fan of the double spoiler or the front face but it's a pretty good looking car
That's cause they poached all the European and German designers
This goes for many other car companies though. Who would have thought that Dacia, Kia or Skoda would start making good looking cars? I don't think you need to poach talent for this, seems just a new generation of designers in the industry who know what they're doing.
It seems like Hyundai is making an entirely new reputation for themselves with these EVs compared to their normal 'boring' cars (sans the Veloster N, of course). I feel like people might accept them better if they pulled a Volvo > Polestar type deal and made a new sub-brand that only makes EVs, but either way they're doing a great job. I'm aware that they've already got Genesis, but they also are doing double-duty gas+EVs.
It won't be too long before they will be forced to drop all of their ICE vehicles. Price parity will happen fairly soon and with the sky rocketing fuel costs, it'll be the death knell of new ICE vehicle manufacturing.
@@StephenShawCanada I bet they’ll keep some of their old models. Just make electric versions. Theyve already done it with the kona.
Maybe make their old “generic” cars the lower end and have the ioniqs be their “premium” line.
@@StephenShawCanada Not everyone wants an EV. In fact a large portion of the population does not. It will be a long transition for the entire auto industry.
@@StephenShawCanada By soon I would say over then next 15 years.
Hyundai and KIA are some companies who are successfully integrating EV into their Branding, unlike almost all the other companies who just make "EV" versions they don't really have a sustainable plan for EV and are just hoping they can slap an EV tag on and price their Cars at 50k and trucks at 100k
It's nice to see some companies actually care enough to put in the time to move forward, I didn't expect to see ANY Ioniq 5's in my small city (45,000people) and they are honestly so many, it's dope
I just bought this vehicle. I totally fell in ❤ with this car the moment I saw it in person. It gave me the feel of Audi A7. I would take Ionic 6 over 5, hands down, because the sporty design of 6 provides a compelling presence. I think, for the general public, they may confuse it with a Porsche or a Tesla. It’s a futuristic comparison without the knock off feel. I’m sure I will feel fine with that 😂
I agree with this comment
Really trying hard to justify buying your cheap ass korean car
def looks more like a porsche haha!!
Trust me, no one will confuse that car with a Tesla
Same!!! I went in the showroom with my bro, since it would be my first ride. I was there for the 5 but then I saw this bad boy 😍
I was an immediate traitor 😅 I loved it so much I couldn't even feel the shame. But I told him to talk me down from the EV bridge since I'd already sold myself.
Tbh till today I can't remember much of what he stated was a drawback except the charging inconvenience. But I know he had a handful of points, just needed to see them here to be bought back to earth and NONE of y'all are doing it 😂
Bro i gotta tell you this , your videos are always sharp af!! what a great quality .You use some great camera settings.
I got the premium Ioniq 6 and it is a blast ^_^
And I've fallen in love with the 18 minutes to get to 80% charge
Good to hear... I was on the fence when it comes to long journey drives and charging stations and times
The mic was much better than usual mate. If it was my money, I'd buy the Kia EV6, as much as I love the Ioniq5 and 6, and I really do, I think their styling is going to date really quickly, particularly with the 6 and it's Porsche/Citroen riffs. With that in mind, dropping 50k on one of these, I'd want to keep it for as long as possible, so I'd take the Kia as I think it would look the freshest for longest. I'd be happy with any of them though, just to be clear.
Yeah I agree. The EV6 is definitely more attractive.
honestly, for $45,000, you could buy a brand new tesla model Y or a 3LR. if the interior quality was more impressive i’d be more inclined to want something from hyundai, but it’s just as minimal as tesla here lol
Yeah the ioniq 5 a car designed to look like a futuristic car from the 80s that still looks good now will surely look old in 10 years. Makes sense.
@@ChaseEdson if you quality interior you do not want the plastic tesla interior lol
@@bg-sj9tx i mean obviously not but this thing is basically the same interior quality or worse, PLUS no supercharger network and less range/slower. tesla is still the obvious win for non-luxury EVs
The 6 is just awesome!
So fun to drive while still being efficient and many many tech features that I love.
I'm driving it since May last year and I love it!!
Good to hear... I was on the fence when it comes to long journey drives and charging stations and times
@@mindblownwhattheydidntteachyou for me it's like driving a combustion car bcs we need pauses anyway for toilet visits or just moving the legs after a 3 hour ride.

The rear end is giving me major Merkur XR4Ti vibes, which was a great looking car for the time. The double spoiler rear end instantly reminded me of the Merkur.
the camera is different, i can tell that the quality is much better than the previous video, and yeah the microphone did make a difference
This car is absolutely dope❤. I love how it doesn’t just blend in with the other blobbish-looking EVs and really stands out in a good way😎
That double spoiler though…🤮
Funny enough if I had to describe this car with one word it would definitely be the "Blobbish" you said it isn't 🤣. Car looks like a primary school side profile car drawing 🤷
I love that Hyundai is trying new designs and I liked the Ioniq 5, but this car is hideous to me.
@@CanisoGaming Fair enough😂😂
idk it stands out in a bad way for me 😂
I've always been swayed by aesthetics over practicality every single time, so it's definitely the 6 for me. But like any other 'first' generation release, it's always the worst version to buy. And with every iteration, just like the Model 3 when it first launched, it gets better over time. Not to mention I hardly hear any tax credits or rebates with this car, vs what you could save if you went with the more established Model 3.
I'm in Seoul right now, and I see A LOT of these. I love the design.
I really like the appearance of the Ioniq 6 and it seems to be an EV that almost scratches every itch I have. Ideally they'd have used that giant rear end as a hatch instead of having a bucket trunk but that's my main complaint.
It's roomy, has nice tech, and the price is almost reasonable.
Of course, I think it looks awesome. Like if someone took the design cues from a Porsche but made it fully EV.
My Saturn had the window buttons in the middle and I forgot how much i loved that. I wish more cars did that.
The mic is a great improvement. The second thing is some kind of phone grip for video shooting?
Loved the design! From the outside, looks like a Citroën with Renault's headlights and Porsche's rear.
But is the interior design the one that gets my hopes high for the future. It's functional, no nonsense. Does not tries to impress, just to function. The type of interior I would love to see in affordable EVs... when they do become affordable.
I went to my local Hyundai dealership yesterday and got a chance to sit in one. It's a very impressive car on the inside and out.
Can you do a Standard Range Model Y review? After the price cuts it would be interesting to revisit its value compared to all the new offerings
I own an Ioniq 5 and it's awesome (with the exception of a brutal Apple Carplay experience that randomly disconnects). Rode in an Ioniq 6 taxi in Korea a few weeks ago and I'd love to have one of those too. The cabin is so spacious and the exterior is beautiful. Kia and Hyundai are killing it.
You started with Apple ....brutal on its own :)
@LifeIsFun Android Auto unfortunately has the same issues in my car. Hyundai has to fix that. Widespread issue affecting all the cars on this platform. Forums full of owners complaining about it.
I’ve decided I’m never buying another car that doesn’t have CarPlay. Once I’ve had it, it’s so much better than what carmakers offer
@tomastaz yeah when it works of course
Are you a pervert?
I think we are at a stage, where we have to look at materials in a different way. Even BMW with their 100k and beyond cars go recycled materials. And its a great thing. For our Ioniq 5 after over 50k km it still is amazing, no cracking, no material bleeding off or anything. REALLY good.
I´d love that this take becomes a bit more common, so that they are rewarded for using recycled material over technically more expensive leather or others that just feel out of place with sustainable mobilty approach.
The microphone sounds great!! Great video as always, cheers!
Ionic 5 is my favourite. I like the more angular retro future vibe. I wish they would sell the Ioniq N vision 74, it looks so good.
The I6 is all about range and effeciency, while the I5 is more about practicallity. I wouldn´t switch my I5 for this, but I can understand if would. It´s fun, cause in europe, we get a much bigger frunk in the RWD versions. Around 54 liters compared to the 20´ish we see here. That can hold all the charging stuff, whipe fluid etc. so you don´t need to have that in the car. And the sound in this video is awesome, can´t guess the other change :D
The RWD Ioniq6 has a 'frunk' capacity of something like 45 litres. 20 is for the AWD models.
Funny; I just saw a commercial for one and immediately came to your channel to find it. I thought it looks really cool, looking forward to learn more from you.
I wouldn’t just buy this one but they are definitely on the right route. I think in about 2-3 years they will have an absolute banger of an EV.
I've wanted the Ioniq 6 since it was Project Prophecy, I love that they didn't actually change TOO much about it!
The Mic in the video sounded really nice, levelled the frequencies of your voice out, not too bassy or high
and I'm going to assume the second thing you did different was actual recording?!
The picture looks so much better on my C1. Maybe shot RAW compressed after?
Have had the 6 for almost a week. Nice so far. I would say those range numbers are on the low end. Been seeing numbers well into the 300s myself and from others with the AWD drive SEL and Limited models, and as stated by others the SE RWD gets 360 miles of range. Though I am driving exclusively in ECO mode and use the I-Pedal as much as possible. Also an interesting note, those wings on the sides of the dash are screens for side cameras (replacing the side mirrors), which are unfortunately not allowed in the US. Wish they had found a use for the screens on the US models.
Congrats on your new car! It seems like you're getting impressive range numbers, well beyond the official estimates, which is fantastic.
I was someone who complained about your mic before. It is so much better now and I don't think it ruins the "amateur vibe".
Great looking car, very efficient too, can't wait to test drive one. thanks for review
The audio quality is significantly better than before, thank you! As for choosing between IONIQ 5 vs 6, for me, I'd say depends what your needs are: more space and practicality? IONIQ 5. Don't need a crossover/SUV body style and want a Porsche-like body style sedan? IONIQ 6. Plus the IONIQ 5 doesn't seem to have the issue of the rear glass getting all mucked up due to the lack of a wiper like the IONIQ 5. Bad thing about the IONIQ 6 that I can see? Insane/ridiculous price gouging/markups from dealers. Lastly, no federal tax credits for either one.
No markups in my area for either so I guess it depends. Hyundai is offering the 7500 in the form of a lease incentive (they get the tax credit and pass it on) since leases have none of the consumer requirements for the credit.
Great video like always! Just feel like you should start mentioning some details of the other trims of the cars in these videos! It would have been cool to talk about the lowest trim of these having 360 miles of range.
If you know, why does he need to mention it?
He's not obligated to mention anything outside of what he likes considering it's quite literally free advertising.
@@servHis221 Jezz man he’s just giving a recommendation that could potentially improve the channel lol, u don’t gotta be that defensive
Yeah, most reviews for cars are the highest trim anywhere you look.
I would like to see lower trims as well.
Nice video!.. Good on the mic, less wind noise, could be the day, but I didn’t feel as distracted as I sometimes am with your car videos. Good job.
Hey! Great video love the car but i would love to see a video of you comparing all the Eva for different price ranges just to see you quick and general opinions and rankings for them!
The mic helps tremendously, I think the other thing maybe you did something with stabilization. Sweeping camera movements didn’t seem so jittery. If an iPhone maybe action mode? I watched in 4K on a 65 inch LG OLED C9, I think I noticed really nice sharpness and contrast in the image. The contours in the vehicle trim and interior were well defined with shadows etc. There was a really nice depth of field at the beginning with the buildings and field in the back. Colors at times (green) seemed over saturated, makes me think not an iPhone. Did you change from smartphone to a point and shoot like Sony ZV-1F or Canon Powershot SX740??
Overall I love what Hyundai has been doing. I’d prefer the Ioniq 5 limited given hatchback and rear space. But the sporty look of the 6 is amazing.
It says in the description "Shot on iPhone 14 Pro"
@@m.r.2718 that's all the videos on this channel nothing new
I totally missed that, thanks for pointing that out. I’m still stumped what’s different then regarding the cameras, something about this looks clearer and sharper and I’m watching in 4K. Overall the video looks smoother so maybe action mode is my only guess, if it’s not a new camera. I wouldn’t put it past the channel to still put iPhone 14 Pro in the description even if this is the first time being shot with a new camera while asking viewers if they notice a difference. Wouldn’t want to give it away in the description, but may announce in the next video.
@@aorta7771 I know bro...The other guy did not know. Did you not read his comment lol.
@@mrbrandonoldham I doubt he would just lie to his audience like that. If Marques says "Shot on an iPhone" then it was shot on an iPhone. What he may have done is increase the amount of editing that goes into these videos. Maybe he's doing more sharpening, color corrections etc in post-production. And I actually do think, especially the selfie shots giveaway that this is almost certainly on a phone. The blur does look quite artificial imo. Also around 1:20, when his hand appears, if you pause, you will see some weird blurring artefacts that I don't think you would see with a decent actual camera. And...If you look in the rear view mirror at 6:58...There you have it. He does seem to have a gimbal device holding it steady, but it's definitely not a camera.
Nice review as usual, I think the thing other than the mic has something to do with the auto zoom you did when you were shooting the dashboard, there's no way you could've zoomed in and out that smoothly without assistance, I think it's a gimbal with zoom control.

Loving my SE AWD after 2 weeks/1500 miles! Getting the ~320ish full range now I’ve learned to use the regen braking properly and sun 20 minute 10/20-80/90% fast charging has been consistent. Also very fun in sport mode…
The video quality seems better two! Thanks for this review. I love this car!
Hyundai and Kia are really stepping their game up and I’m all for it!
Drove the RWD version of this car around 2 weeks ago( in the EU). Its pretty comfortable, drives quite nice, some critisisms the seat feels like it should be able to go lower but stops somewhat high, also with the recent price drops on the Tesla cars i don't know if the 60k (local price incl vat) Ioniq 6 offers better value over the 52k (incl vat) long range Tesla model 3... Hard to choose which to go with
52k is for performance Model 3 not long range. Soon they will relaunch long range at even cheaper price but tbh 36250$ Model 3 after tax credit is the best deal right now
3:25 honestly I'd just use that to keep a first aid kit / emergency food + water. Nice to keep out the way but can't think of anything else worth putting there.
I have the Ioniq 5, and I am obsessed with my car.
When I got it, it was exactly what I needed. The more I look at the I6, the more I like it. I wasn't a fan of how it looks, but now that I am seeing them on the road they are nice!
I would get both if I had that kind of money. Maybe when my ICE dies and I need to upgrade, I'll take a look at the other EV options.
My I5 has been perfection though, so don't plan on getting rid of that anytime soon.
Damn dude! Where do you folk get money for such car. I’m paying off bank loan for $4000 car. Btw monthly salary here is 8 times smaller than in country where you live($600). Dang. I feel like I will drive these cars in like 40 years when they get obsolete and useless.
@@mrboleus8240I live in India and the 5 is more costlier here. And even I'm paying it off a bank loan for 5 years.
@@mrboleus8240 Thankfully, with the right budgeting, it was possible for me and my family. We had both of our sedans paid off for like 2 years, so the payments we WERE making, were going towards a new car.

If it wasn't for a two-salary household with 0 kids, we wouldn't have been able to get it.

Finally, someone who actually likes the design of the Ioniq 6. I personally love it, so different and with a lot of personality, not just a boring generic look.
You just know car is super similar when MKBHD calls it Ionic 5 while reviewing a Ionic 6 😂 3:37
2:20 too
this car and the ionic 5 aren't really similar at all tho visually...
Just came here looking if anyone else realized 😅
It's not similar at all. Merely a mistaken on his part.
🤣
I think you are filming with a 4K and/or 8K video!! Really crisp picture and very highly detailed!
Literally took the works out of my mouth bro
Picking up my Ioniq 6 next week :) Efficiency is key and Hyundai has that covered with the 6 as they did with the original Ioniq.
Much better audio with this new mic, appreciated!!
The pixel design is so cute!
The key is actually the "H" logo that's on Hyundai Cas. The buttons are the empty spaces in the logo (You have to turn the oval shaped key that you're holding sideways to see it)
I think he doesn't get the y2k aesthetic of it, but I dig it.
I really like the look of this car. That swooping arc reminds me of Porsche. I was considering the Ioniq 5 and noticed the same type of materials that you mention in this video. Plus the dealers in my area have a $10k markup over MSRP. I eventually went with the VW ID.4. I hope you get a chance to review one.
Interesting, here in South Florida both the 5 and 6 are going for MSRP and then the 7500 lease incentive on top of that
The quality of the video. Mahn
Love the Ioniq6...but the Ioniq5 is more my thing with the added space. Kia EV6 is also pretty awesome too.. tough choice. One thing is for sure, Hyundai / Kia / Genesis fraternal triplets are absolutely killing it right now.. Keep up the amazing work
I'm waiting for Kia to drop their Ioniq6 counter. And Seat to drop their VW id.7 counter, since the Born is a way nicer looking id.3.
I usually stick to sedans, but if it were between the 5 and 6, I’d have to choose the Ioniq 5. It’s not really an SUV like they market it to be, and it really just looks like a large hot hatch with some really cool styling
Yeah, kinda agree. I'm a sedan guy (owning the original Ioniq HEV) but I Stille prefer the 5 for it's practically (and its looks)
I really like this car. If I could afford it, I'd definitely consider it in my options for an EV.
Mic is definitely better this time 👍
Well, I have an ID5 and my wife just received her Cupra born. Both cars are based on VW EMB. I prefer the quality it comes with in both cars, I traded my A6 2020 for the ID5 and I don't miss a thing 😊
I can appreciate the audio change so much! It seems like you're not shooting on iPhone for this video. Great car review
In Future we‘ll See this Kind of efficient Design more often. Pretty ok for me :)
I also like it
Its nice! 👌
It's a boring, wind tunnel design, similar to the VW ID.7. Not enthralled by the exterior design.
I chose the ioniq 5 over then 6 just last week. And the mileage you get will adjust based on your driving. I have the awd version and it was supposed to only get something like 267 miles for 100% charge. I charged up to 90% and the range says I’ll get 300 miles. I drive mixed surface streets/highway and drive regular. Not heavy footed.
Frunk seems perfect for that charging cable and a first aid/roadside kit.
the mic is great audio is much better now love it
I think the Citroen DS is the real inspiration for this car's design
Nope ... the Prophecy is the pre-production inspiration and looked much better vs the Ioniq 6. They removed too much from the Prophecy. Look for some videos on it and you'll understand.
@@StephenShawCanada omg does this look bad. I'm really digging what they've made out of it though.
Are you really going to compare this beauty to some Citroën, nah man
@@Dazzaai Citreon DS is one of the most beautiful cars made. Not just some car
The DS is like throwing together whatever they can so it looks expensive and shiny. For me it is just too much.

Hyundai has truly nailed the design both inside and out, making it a clear winner in terms of visual appeal.
This car looks so retro I love it
You should check wether the RWD also has the tiny frunk.
On my RWD Ioniq5, it was shipped-as all North American models-with the small frunk from the AWD (extra motor cuts down on available room for a frunk).
I bought from Korea the normal Eruo/Asian RWD frunk, which takes the 26L to 54L, an actual useful size. Not cheap, but cheaper than motorcycle saddlebags, to put it in perspective.
The theory of why it shipped with the small frunk is the NA rules on vehicle escape requirements of having a button to open frunk. The measure of it is apparently a 3 year old reference mannequin. But a few models were actually shipped in Quebec with the large frunk. So our assumption is just that Hyundai was cheaping out.
I have an Ioniq 6 RWD in Australia. Main thing is the efficiency, getting the equivalent of 5-6mi/kWh in the city. Easy 600+km of range
That's a pretty sick range.
I have had the AWD Ioniq 5 since last summer and average 295-310 miles of range, well over the estimated 256 miles. There are ways to use it as a RWD to add range, I suspect Ioniq 6 will be similar
Assuming you aren't in cold weather?
@@bkdp I'm assuming he lives in AZ lol
@@natec1 oh duh. My bad. Didn't even pay attention to the username.
My GOM usually reads 340 in my RWD Ioniq 5 when I charge to 80%. I'm also in a warm climate.
Video quality seems better, Audio quality much better - very noticable, and half way through the video I was thinking about asking what mic you were using (clearly not the iPhone - cue hate mail :-). In fact the video seems more stabilized and possibly sharper (or better contrast - not sure). I really appreciated the 'dual / opposite camera' shots - one looking forward at the road and one looking at you whilst your narration continued seamlessly between the opposite camera shots - very clever. Finally - thanks for making quality videos that are very well though out.
I also thought the key looked like a Tamagotchi, and then you said it. Glad we agree.
I'm actually surprised that the top trim is only rated 250mi. I suspect it might get better than that because their family of EVs have a reputation of delivering at or above the EPA-rating. I have the GV60 performance and I've pretty much been around 235mi rating during this mild, albeit wet winter in CA and it's getting better now that we're transitioning through spring and into summer. The I6 would likely outperform in long-distance freeway driving though because of it's aerodynamics.
I feel this will be my next car. I like the design, the price isn't scary, and the features are good.
I am not able to justify the high price of this vs say a Model 3 which we can get for just 36250$
Price is actually scary (at least where I am) but you know what, YOLO. I bought one and I'm happy I did over the competitors (which for me are Tesla and Polestar).
I see so many Model 3s where I live (NorCal), I'd prefer to have something different from the mainstream.
The Camera is so sharp
Great quality
I LOVE The Design!🌞👍🏿🙌🏾👏🏾
It looks like they combined a Lamborghini front, a Porsche rear and a VW Beetle body.
