Video - Ioniq 6 Ultimate In Depth Review

Great job once again Andre. I really enjoy watching your vids because I always learn something new. And you don't hesitate to point out the negatives as well. Some of your "criticisms" may be subjective (most are not), but that is OK. I value your perspective as well even if I don't always agree. And I am open to changing mine, too, if I see something different that I may like.

Keep them coming...

 

How hard is it to make room for rear-passengers' feet to fit under the front seats? "Oh, we forgot," Hyundai.

 

And I am sure that is not easy, even for you. Most people tend to review and compare cars to what they have owned or are most familiar with. That is often very obvious with the many auto journalists and their reviews. And they don't like to stray too far from the herd. You are definitely different in that respect. Your authenticity and honesty comes through loud and clear.

Again great job, and look forward to more vids.

 

There may be lots of legroom in the rear seats, but there will certainly be passengers who wish they could slide their feet under the front seats. For example, extra footroom could make it easier for tall people to conveniently create a level lap for their computer without asking the driver to abandon the most comfortable seat height.

Here's an unhappy scenario: a large person sitting in the rear seat is enjoying the extra footroom available because the driver raised the seat. Then, after stopping for a quick charge, the front seat occupants switch places and the new driver drops the seat to its lowest position, crushing the-rear seat occupant's feet. Let's hope they acquired enough charge to reach the nearest hospital.

I'm aware that the design of nearly every part of a vehicle requires compromises. Evidently, Hyundai couldn't design a seat that goes that low while also incorporating a slot for rear passengers' feet. I'd be surprised if Hyundai didn't consider this aspect of their design a compromise.

 

Well to put things into perspective, the IONIQ 6 is slightly longer than a Kia Sorrento. It's also larger than a Ford Transit Connect or Subaru Outback.



The only problem is a double bass might not fit in an IONIQ 6.

 

Yup,... unfortunately. It is 15 inches longer than my Crosstrek which currently occupies that side of my garage. That's what was nice about my Kona EV, nice and short. But hey, I used to store a big Chevy Avalanche in there, so I do have the room.

 

Hey RP congrats on ur i6.
What kind of range you getting ?

 

Well, as you know range varies all over the place based on season how and where you drive. I only got the car in Jul this year, so haven't got a total handle on that yet. But have seen up to 560 kms on a full charge in the summer. But what is really good is how fast it charges, esp on the PetroCanada 350kW chargers. You can barely have a pee before it is done. Even on the free On the Run 150 kW chargers it stays at 103 kW right up to 80%. It is definitely a great trip car.

Anyway, I really do like the car, all around. It does everything I expected and a bit more.

 

Thanks for the info
I'm really on the fence between upgrading fm 19 Kona to a 24 or plunging and getting an i6.
I guess the kona has more storage.

 

The 24 Kona is just an upgrade. But the I6 is a whole new world!! You'll also have to get used to everyone thinking it is a Porsche when they first see it. I have the red one, and it often attracts a crowd in a parking lot.

 

Did u get the rwd i6?
How's range?
