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.

Who ever designs the lights... Is doing the out of this world work... The light inside the spoiler is dope

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.

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.

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

hyundai has really been designing good looking cars for last couple of years

Thank you for putting the 6’3 height reference into your videos so that we can gauge the size of the backseats. Nice touch!

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.

The audio sounds so crisp for this style of video. Nice work!

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 just LOVE the ioniq 6 esthetic! I saw one in cherry red on the highway in Luxembourg and i fell in love instantly

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 😂

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

I like the way that the speedometer is blurred in 11:32 🔥🔥

The frame design for the display screens is just so much more integrated and better looking than any new BWM...

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Looks like you were filming in 8k or something. Video showed a LOT of detail and was very sharp. Audio was great too!

Ironically, getting the lowest trim increases range to 300+

I'm in Seoul right now, and I see A LOT of these. I love the design.

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.

I would get the Ioniq 5 with the hatch and added practicality, and I also like the way it looks over the 6.

The mic is a huge improvement!

If you didn't know that the key phob is the Hyundai logo

You just know car is super similar when MKBHD calls it Ionic 5 while reviewing a Ionic 6 😂 3:37

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

How many times did you say ioniq 5 instead of "6"?

Hyundai and Kia are really stepping their game up and I’m all for it!

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.

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.

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. ^^

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 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.

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😎

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.

It looks like they combined a Lamborghini front, a Porsche rear and a VW Beetle body.

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.

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.

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.

Literally took the works out of my mouth bro

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!

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

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 think you are filming with a 4K and/or 8K video!! Really crisp picture and very highly detailed!

FINALLY!!! A second glove box inconveniently located under the hood!! Thank you Hyundai!!

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.

I was pretty impressed with the 5. Now that they've come out with the 6, I think I've found my dream car.

Just purchased this... I've ended up choosing Ioniq 6 over 5 for one reason: That feeling of driving in Sedan again.

I’ve never really liked Asian car design and I’ve never really wanted an electric car. But this I really like. It’s giving me 1970s Citroen DS vibes.

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

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.

Bro i gotta tell you this , your videos are always sharp af!! what a great quality .You use some great camera settings.

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.

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 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 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.

Having to plug in for car play is just ridiculous in 2023! Come on that is a deal breaker.

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.

The pixel design is so cute!

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

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.

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.

I like that you end all your videos with "Peace." Because, you know, we need a lot more of that, 100%. Awesome video.

Owner of an Ioniq 5 here. I wouldn’t trade my EV with ANY other car. I love the space and the ride comfort of my vehicle without compromising for outlandish kWh. I have been noticing that my consumption is in the neighborhood of 4.0/4.2 kWh, and I get MORE mileage than what Hyundai predicted. The real issue of EVs is not the range, but the infrastructure accessibility to charge it. Electrify America has plenty of chargers here where I live, but most of them are out of service since there are no people who fix them. I have spoken with a maintenance person from EA and he told me that he is 1 of 2 people who repair in a 400 mile radius. It’s not a problem for me since I charge my Ioniq 5 at home, but it has been challenging to trust the grid while doing longer trips. Going back to the car, I have never been a fan of sedans, however, if you are in the market to change yours, I EXTREMELY recommend going electric. You will never drive a gas powered vehicle. At least I will never.

In Future we‘ll See this Kind of efficient Design more often. Pretty ok for me :)

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.

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 glad to hear that the Ioniq 6 is a good car, because it's one of the few modern cars that I consider to be beautiful. If I were to buy an EV, this would be my choice, though I must admit that I like the original prototype even better and wish Hyundai had built it that way.

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?!

I think the Citroen DS is the real inspiration for this car's design

It’s 2023 but dammmn Daniel, what are those!!!! The shoes, the shoes!!!

The Camera is so sharp Great quality

The quality of the video. Mahn

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

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 was someone who complained about your mic before. It is so much better now and I don't think it ruins the "amateur vibe".

Easily one of the most aesthetically pleasing EVs in the market! Inside and out, it’s a clear winner. Cmon luxury motor companies, it ain’t that hard!

Much better audio with this new mic, appreciated!!

What a beautiful car. Hopefully it qualifies for the EV credit in the next few years.

I love how MKBHD does better car reviews than auto dealers.

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

The design would be like if someone wanted a taycan but couldnt effort one so they got this instead. i love this design waaayyyy more than the 5 even tho theyre not the same type of car. i dig this

I LOVE The Design!🌞👍🏿🙌🏾👏🏾

The audio and video quality was top notch. Review the Kona next :) I have a 2022 Ultimate and love it.

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

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.

I'm in a weird split where I like the front of the Ioniq 5 more than the 6, but I like the rear of the Ioniq 6 more than the 5. I'm considering both roughly equally, and if I can fit a bicycle in the trunk with the seats folded down, I might consider going with the 6 to get that added range

The new mic is nice clear sound and the new camera has the clearest pic.

I've never owned a car in my life (I'm 64) and have generally never been so interested in cars. However, when the IONIQ 6 was announced last year it made me take notice and I've since become more interested in cars. Kyle at Out of Spec Reviews goes out of his way to say how ugly he thinks it is and all I can think is, are we looking at the same car??? I love the design. I would have no interest in getting an SUV or crossover. Were I in the market for a car, I would definitely consider the IONIQ 6.

Here before he corrected the Title

This is the easiest way to distinguish a sunroof from a moonroof. Sunroof: a clear glass panel that can either open or not open for air. A sunroof will always have transparent glass and a completely opaque sliding panel to shield passengers from the light. The important part is that you either have full light or no light. Moonroof: You can have partial light with a moonroof. Everything else is the same. Whether it can get full light or be fully shielded from light, if it's capable of partial light, it's a moonroof. A moonroof may use tinted glass or a mesh panel to achieve partial light.

zooming down the road looked different. the sense of speed was bananas.

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

I prefer a crossover as I get older, but I don't feel the looks of the Ioniq 5 at all. This looks MUCH better. If I had $50k to spend none of those small niggles would bother me. Compared to my 2 Land Rovers, my Subaru, and my C6 corvette, that thing is built like an S-Class! I like it. And happy to see more minimalism and "regular car" happening in the EV space. I liked the idea of an ID4 for the same reason. I don't want to announce to the world I'm driving a computer from the FUTURE. I just want a good and functional car.

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.

This car looks so retro I love it
