Am I the only one that thinks the rear looks a bit like the old Porsches? I believe it’s the 996 with the single light piece

Saab 900 vibes, and not just door controls in the center. That’s a good thing

[sephiros]

I honestly think Hyundai really have a home run with that car. At the very least no one can complain it looks like every other car. I'm really happy they are pushing the enveloppe .

[Tekkenmover]

Honestly the cars design has grown on me, specs and the inside just looks amazing. The car is very much on my list, as the next car we are getting.

[ThrottleBody]

I love what Hyundai are doing. And I love the design. I don’t really understand why you would choose something as bland as a Tesla model 3 over this. Bravo.

[aye]

Hyundai absolutely nailed it with the Ioniq 5 and now this, the Ioniq 6. Love both cars. They just look so good!

[JonathanEzor]

I still can't decide if I like the Ioniq 6's design, but I know I love Rory's reviews!

[PassportBrosBusinessClass]

HYUNDAI is low key dominating the EV market. I think they may get a lot of conquest sales from people dumping their Teslas.

Hyundai is give you a reasonably priced EV with the familiarity of a regular car - which most people like and are comfortable with.

Hey Rory, I think you are one of the best reviewers out there, No BS wanky talk, just plain and clear facts.
keep it up dude!

[grahambutler]

Thanks Rory.
Not seen your channel before, but must say your review is quality. A chap who knows how to deliver a lot of info easily without recourse to gimmicks or misplaced humour.

I’m an I5 owner with my name down for the 6, so I watched with interest. I think I’ve done the right thing.

Thanks again 😌

I would like to see some EV sedan sell better than the Tesla Model 3. I don't know if this is sporty enough to but hopefully an N version of this will be available sometime soon. I liked the rant about the Hyundai name. As always, just a brilliant review.

My local dealer let me have a 2 hour test drive last week in the dual motor version and I think it's a superb car. Excellent to drive and it was showing 345 miles range when I picked it up. In the photos I wasn't sure about the sloped rear but in the flesh it has so much style and presence, it just works. When I came out of Sainsbury's there was a group of 6 people standing around it, amazed at it's looks. One guy even asked if his 7 year old boy could sit in it! How many new £50k cars can attract that much attention? A model Y performance is obviously quicker but Tesla's are just too common and look boring compared to the 6.

The buttons being inboard rather than on the doors is great, no more broken wires which stop the windows from working!

Drove both Ioniq 5 and 6. They are both smooth, quiet, comfortable, and easy to drive. Choice will depend on individual's lifestyle and fashion. My mother who is 80 years old and aunt who is 90 appreciate Ioniq 6 but it would be great to have heated backseats. I am learning alot from your experience and expertise. Thank you.

This is the kind of design Citroen or DS should have come up with. Sad they don't have the visionary kind of designers that made them famous.

[abingeorge]

The pricetags these Ioniqs have are absolutely unreasonable though...the Ioniq 5 is being sold for $70k in Canada

[god-son-love]

Somebody finally gets what I want. I want an old-style beetle with EV, low maintenance cost, and reasonable performance. Many people will appreciate this, and I am sure this will help value. Good job Hyundai.

[IkeOnoniwu]

I still prefer the exterior look of the Ioniq 5. It is more iconic and distinguishable. Like Rory said, on the 6, it is hard to determine what era the design language comes from, and that puts me off. For every other part of it, it seems like a very lovely car.

[DrMJBull]

I currently drive a 2014 Tesla S and this might very likely be my next car. Its got a bit of an old Porsche and old Saab Turbo had a baby vibe, and I totally dig it. The range in the RWD is outstanding as well!

[vsGoliath]

Genuinely really like the style and technology, especially for that price point. I only have one small issue with the car.

If you're going to drop the roofline in the back that dramatically over the rear wheels, why oh why did you not just make it a hatchback?! Just move the trunk hinge up a little, it's not that hard!
