I like that Hyundai had the novel idea of positioning the instrumentation in front of the driver. I've read many Tesla owners say they get used to looking off to the side, but I don't wanna.

 

Recently traded in my 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line on my 2023 IONIQ 6 SEL AWD. Controls are very similar so not much of a learning curve. Charging with the OE 12-amp 110V charger limiting the AC charge to 90%. Build quality on this vehicle manufactured in Korea is outstanding compared to my Montgomery Alabama assembled N Line. The frunk is useless, but the rear seat leg and head room is generous, and the trunk is adequate. The design reminds me of the 1994 Infinity J30 with a Porsche whale tail. Even without the Federal Tax credit it costs less than a comparable Tesla Type 3.

 

I purchased an Ioniq 5, but let me tell you why I didn’t purchase the 6: my wife thought the overall feel was smaller than the 5, and for me it’s when I’m sitting in the back at 6’ with a 34” inseam, my head touches the ceiling. if height is not an issue, consider the best color to be the silver because of the charge cover plastic paint matching the best along with the darker under body at the rear that sets the profile with the right balance.

I sold my Imola Red BMW Z4 M Coupe so had to have another red car. The Hyundai Ultimate Red Metallic reminds me of the old candy apple red popular with hot rodders in the 1960s.

 

My red Ultimate Ioniq 6 is stuck in the Vancouver port since June 3, very frustrating. And now the Longshoreman union are holding a strike vote this weekend, which likely will totally shut it down soon after. My only hope is that it can get out of there and to the dealer before that happens. I am checking with the sales GM at my dealer very frequently, and he patiently keeps informing me that he has no way of predicting when it will arrive.

I am planning a a long trip to Manitoba (near desert for charging stations) starting June 27th, and hoping to be able to go with the new car.

 

This could be the week. Dealer says it made it through the port (unloaded) and now showing as "scheduling dispatch to carrier". They are expecting about 15 cars to arrive this week, and mine could be in that bunch.

 

Took delivery of my IONIQ 6 LTD about a week ago, so just getting used to things. Absolutely love it, however. I came from a Kia K5 EX Premium, so all the fancy safety and convenience features are still here with this car, and this is one of the reasons i bought it. I have been waiting for a decent sedan EV for a few years, and as soon as I saw the Ioniq 6 product reveal video I knew I would get this car. Finally made it! I'll try to give an honest review in a few weeks but so far I've only had troubles with the digital key not being able to work.

 

Great photo! It illustrates how hard Hyundai worked to turn their Prophecy concept into a real car while preserving so much of the concept's character.

 

Just got a call from the dealer this morning (Fri) and said the car is now scheduled for delivery on Mon, the 26th. Said they could do the PDI same day and ready to go, unless delivery is late. That is the day I was planning to start my trip. I was giving us an extra day for charging etc, as with our ICE car I know leaving Tues morning would be OK. So it is going to very tight, as we have events scheduled there to attend (town reunion).

 

Was hoping to get it today. But didn't happen. Will have to leave tomorrow morning for our trip in our ICE car. Will be back on Jul 6, so would for sure to be able to get it then.

Big disappointment... Really wanted the I6 for this trip. Going to cost me an extra $800 for gas. Would have been mostly free charging on the trip (6000 kms return), maybe $30 for a stretch on the way back. Oh, well, that's life...

 

Dealers:

 

Oh, the Solterra will get plenty of work out to our cabin this summer. But sure wanted to have the I6 for the trip. Now will have to take the Crosstrek. Had to borrow it back from my son, and they will get to use the Solterra for a week.

 

Finally got the I6. Of course it arrived at the dealer the day we were leaving on the trip, so wasn't ready for us to take. Got back yesterday and picked it up today. Here are a couple pics. The middle one is the Solterra which will be our off-road vehicle, and the far side blue one is the Crosstrek which will go to our 16 year old grandson. Anyway, got exactly what I wanted, red ultimate trim, so very happy now.

 

I like the EV6 in red! Looks great overall, although I definitely prefer the front angle to the back angle.
