Great car, needs some big changes

I love the ride quality and the look and feel of the vehicle. But the technology and UX is seriously lacking. The regenerative breaking is simply awful, WAY too weak. I want a much stronger setting to get a true one-pedal driving experience more similar to Rivian or Tesla. Also, I hate that I have to use a paddle on the back of the steering wheel to change the regen every single time I get in the car. It drives me insane. Give me a set it and forget it setting in the UI that remembers how I like it. And for the love of god just give it much stronger regen. The turning radius is wider than I was expecting in a sedan, and the heads up display is a little useless since it doesn’t display the maps data from my apple CarPlay maps. The built-in maps are some of the ugliest I’ve ever seen, so I only use my CarPlay maps.

Almost Great — But Huge Flaws

A month in, I don't regret my Ioniq 6 decision, but I do wonder about alternatives since the flaws on the car are pretty significant ones — especially regarding the entry system. The flush handles are nice, but the default hands-free unlocking system is for ALL handles to pop out, leading to potentially huge security issues. Without an auto-lock feature on walking away, the potential to leave the car unlocked with all the handles open for anyone to use is massive. There are other small problems, including an increasing problem with wind noise. They aren't outweighed by the car's advantages — but those advantages are significant, including a smooth ride, GREAT charging capability, and very impressive range. Plus, I really do love the styling.

2025 Ioniq 6

The fit and finish on this car is terrible. There are visible gaps between the front hood and the adjoining fender area. The door handles automatically pop out when the car is unlocked and stay out which is a useless and annoying “feature”. There is a “tone” “bar” (? Toggle switch) is does absolutely nothing nothing useful. The back seat is cramped and the headroom even in the front is nominal. My husband refuses to drive anywhere in my car. The ride itself is smooth with nominal road noise and the handling is responsive.

An otherwise very nice car with critical flaws in ergonomics that make it uncomfortable to drive.

Good car it weren't for the dealer experience

I really don't have too many complaints for the car, it's a good price for what you get. If the dealership experience wasn't so poor, I would consider getting another one in the future. But it was so terrible and I never got a dealer survey, I have to mention it here. I hope to be in a better financial situation when my lease is up so I don't have to deal with shady Hyundai dealers ever again my life.

Ioniq 6 review

I am happy with the car mechanically but I would have to say that the software is very lacking. First it’s a very clunky and hard to navigate to find settings. First to not have the seats and the mirrors not to adjust to the driver then there is really no need to have different drivers since it doesn’t remember seat settings. 2nd to have to reset I-pedal each time is definitely a safety issue since you are used to the deceleration the first stop you come next drive can get real ugly fast. The speed that MyHyundai unlock the doors is pathetic. Not having the option to lock one front doors instead of only driver or all is pathetic also. Having the front windows on the console instead of on the door like the rear doors and ever other car in the world makes no sense. The heated seats should be individually on the console instead of having basically 3 steps to get to them on the screen is pathetic also. Opening the rear trunk if you unlock the doors the trunk should also unlock like every other car made. Not having the heated seats tie into the pre climate makes no sense either. Not being able to adjust the driver attention settings or the car learning the difference depending on the driver is dumb also. Not having the 12volt battery charge when the car is plugged in not sometimes 1 hour after the car finishes charging.

Sales totally misled me at purchase discussion. I was tops winter driving would decrease battery by some 25 to 30 percent. Actually I am losing some 40 to 45 percent using heat. It is incomprehensible theat a 60000 vehicle does not have a wireless Car play option. USB wired connect us outdated.

Controls redundant. And who needs to adjust regenerative braking?

There are far too many symbols and characters on the dashboard, many of which are hard to decipher. The manual is next to useless as it is badly written.

Fun to drive, quick off the line, but has its quirks.

Throttle is very responsive especially up hill seeing as you do not need to wait for a transmission to pick a gear. The car is fun to drive as it is quick off the line. The stock tires received great reviews for EV tires however I find the traction to be lacking in rain and snow. I need to be cautious driving in rain and snow as the back end will tend to break out when cornering and not driving aggressively. The car is just over a year old and only has 7,000 miles tire tread is not the issue. Another quirk I was driving home from work and I started getting warning messages that the camera safety system could not see and was shutting down the forward collision safety system. I kept getting these warnings and I was acknowledging them for about 10 minutes. Shortly after that the system reset its self and the safety system was again working. I also received messages when starting the car in the morning in the garage that the battery was being depleted by an external source when nothing was plugged into the car. This goes away after 15-20 seconds and everything is normal. Having the window switches in the center counsel and not on the door is still something I am not use to. Lastly and goes for all EVs is the battery loses considerable range in the cold. If you are going on a road trip in the winter plan charging stops every 150 miles or so especially if you are using climate control, heated seats, heated steering wheel. I enjoy the car and I do not think I would go back to a gas powered car even with the quirks that will be worked out over time. EVs are so much more fun to drive.

Upper scale meets average performance

Coming from the ioniq 5 to the 6, I expected a bit more of an upgrade in terms of performance, features and quality but feel that the bar was missed. The interior quality seems much cheaper and like being in a solid shell with plastic parts aching and flexing around. Still no wireless CarPlay despite the hotspot feature being enabled. I was fortunate to be one of the Ioniq 5 first owners when it was announced and came out and you can noticed the difference in what Hyundai decided to cut cost on.

It gets you from A to B, but that's bout it

- The car is on the ugly side. No idea what it's trying to be. Looks like Hyundai was trying copy elements from a Beetle and a Porsche but failed miserably. - Weird curves and shapes all around the car. - Interior space is very good, especially the rear leg room. But the trunk is not tall for a sedan. - For a car close to 50k, you'd expect nicer materials rather than plastic all around. Most interior materials are fingerprint magnets. - The sensors go nuts all the time. It would go ofd when you're waiting on a red light for no reason.

Not sure how to feel.

I enjoy the vehicle, I truly do. This thing is fast and feels futuristic. But, the price I paid for it is pretty awful, considering that now they have discontinued the model. The price for parts will be going through the roof now.

Annoying false positives in safety features

Nice looking car on paper. "Safety features" are very annoying. Collision detection has a bunch of false positives and resulted in the car just stopping. Where I drive, single lanes turn to two lanes often. Whenever this happens, the car thinks that I'm unsafely merging lanes and would beep. This is a part of my normal route so I hear this constantly.

Well built car, but tech implementation isn't the best.

Our Ioniq6 SEL AWD feels solid, drives well, and has been reliable for the first 14 months of ownership. It has plenty of power, well damped suspension that provides a good ride yet firm enough to be a bit sporty. On the other hand, the seats aren't very comfortable for drives longer than 30-45 minutes, and much of the tech implementation just misses the mark compared to other modern vehicles. The review camera is differicult to see at night, as it gets washed out from the taillights, the lane centering can't be trusted, as it won't notify you if it can't see the lane edges, the android auto connection is unreliable, as is the keyless door lock/unlock feature. For a car that has a lot of tech, it seems as if competitor's cars weren't thoroughly studied and the product was rushed to market.
