  1. Found this video today. I like the lines of this car

    Inside EVs posted a video and article about the Ioniq 6's efficient aerodynamic design.
     
  3. We also have this walkaround video from last week's LA Auto Show.

    Like most new EV’s, limited production is forecast for this EV next year. Excitement has turned into disappointment….again!

    And with limited production comes the onerous Dealer Market Adjustments. I guess if your dislike for Elon surpasses your disgust with greedy dealers, you'll be willing to pay more than the price of a Model 3 to drive the unique Ioniq 6.

  6. I think the market adjustments will be a thing of the past when this finally hits dealers. Pricing in the auto market is changing pretty quickly, used cars are getting cheaper and market adjustments are starting to wilt as well. In "normal" times, a a market adjustment could appear on a vehicle with huge demand and limited supply, so it's still possible dealers might tag on a few grand, but I feel it's unlikely in this case.

    reminds me of old SAABs and Porche's. I love this new look. I believe I will be trading in my 23 Leaf for one of these as soon as I can.

    Since this thread has several videos, here is one more:


    As I'd pointed out in another thread, the Ioniq 6 seems to be the nearest competitor to my high mileage, Model 3.

    No heated steering wheel until you go to the highest trim. Wow!

    I've posted a request for a Monroney sticker from an Ioniq 6 but nothing, yet. I also checked Fueleconomy.gov and still no Ioniq 6. However, I did find the EPA test car data for the Ioniq6.

    It turns out that the rear wheel Ioniq 6 and Tesla Model 3 are listed with the same test weight, 4,250 lbs (1,928 kg.) Then I graphed the drag using their roll down coefficients and lost interest:

    • The drag power curve will the proportional to the drag force curves
    • The Ioniq 6 drive train would have be shockingly more efficient than the Model 3
    I have lost any curiosity about the Ioniq 6. Sheet metal art does not pay the electric charging bill.

    One good thing is now I can easily calculate the drag force of all electric cars at 35 mph and 70 mph. I have been frustrated at early car reviews that don't give us an efficiency curve for reviewed cars. Problem solved.

    I was just checking out the 2025 Ioniq 6 on Hyundai's website and discovered they've made an incredible improvement in the rear-seat headroom!

    Does anyone at Hyundai ever look at their website?
     
  12. Where do you see that the 2025 has more headroom? Ours is the original 2023, and has no lack of headroom, or foot room in the back. In fact when we have taken friends for a ride, they commented that they felt like they were sitting in a limousine in the back. There is tons of room back there. It is a much bigger car than it looks on the outside. It is longer than the I5 and my Solterra.

    My mistake. The side window looks so much bigger from the inside than it does from the outside and I believed the right photo was not from inside an I6.

    Thanks for setting me straight.

  15. Looks like a good refresh. Still like my 2023, a lot, but if they can improve it further, might improve the sales a bit. Probably not in the US, though, with the new tariffs since it is built in SK. The I5 should continue to be a best seller there.

    Here in Canada, the I6 is also pretty rare, and I still get questions sometimes from people who haven't seen it before.

    I see them, occasionally, on dealer lots - but I've only ever seen one on the road...
