WEBVTT 00:00:00.079 --> 00:00:05.700 holy sexy sedans Batman we've got the 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.800 Hyundai ionic six and this thing is freaking fantastic it's one number 00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:15.299 larger than the ionic 5 and it's a little bit smaller as well let's have a 00:00:13.139 --> 00:00:19.980 look first up the looks I absolutely love it but when I first saw it my 00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:24.900 feelings were a bit more tepid over the week though it has really grown on me 00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:30.480 what I find it's interesting is that it is very controversial looking but the 00:00:28.439 --> 00:00:34.320 bits that everybody likes and dislikes are different like for instance the 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.040 rivian lots of people hated the headlights couldn't stand them whereas 00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:41.820 this right here it might be like I don't love the headlights some people really 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:47.219 really like them some people don't like the swoopiness others do it's a real 00:00:44.579 --> 00:00:50.640 like I think everyone's gonna love it in three years like honestly now I will 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:55.980 concede that the front of this car is not the best in existence but the design 00:00:52.860 --> 00:00:58.039 is very intentional this has a drag 00:00:55.980 --> 00:01:03.440 coefficient of 0.21 which is the best of any production 00:01:01.739 --> 00:01:09.180 car asterisks now in Europe they have not 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:13.619 actual side mirrors just little cameras and in North America because of 00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:18.420 regulations and stuff we get actual side mirrors which brings the drag 00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:21.180 coefficient to 0.22 tying it with the 00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:26.100 Lucid air and Mercedes-Benz eqs coming around the side we've got rims that will 00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:31.500 uh look like every single other rim on the market in 2023 and we also have 20 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:35.579 inch tires now this is the ultimate package so we get two four fives on it 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:42.720 and that actually drops your range by a lot so this is 435 kilometers whereas 00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:46.200 it's 509 with the ultimate package so 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:49.259 that gets you 225s and 18 inch rims that 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.899 is a massive range hit just for 00:01:49.259 --> 00:01:57.119 these guys right here fortunately though the charging is fan 00:01:55.380 --> 00:02:01.680 fortunately you don't have to worry too much about range anyway because in 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:07.740 Canada no matter what spec you get you get the 77 kilowatt hour battery and 350 00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:12.720 kilowatt fast charging that'll take you from zero to eighty percent in just 18 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:17.520 minutes that'll be absolutely fantastic if you can actually find a 350 kilowatt 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:23.819 charger that works moving around back man she's got a nice arse honor two 00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:25.800 spoilers absolutely love it now these 00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:30.180 are here of course for aerodynamic reasons but that does not stop it from 00:02:27.720 --> 00:02:34.319 looking freaking sick speaking of which this pixelated light bar that goes all 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.040 the way across the back just looks fantastic in my opinion also if you want 00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:42.720 to get into the trunk just press right there on our ultimate package at least 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:47.459 we have a nice power closing and opening trunk and there's a not a whole lot of 00:02:45.180 --> 00:02:50.879 space in here it's not quite what you'd expect from a sedan of this size because 00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:54.300 normally like there wouldn't be batteries down there so you'd have a 00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:58.379 little bit more depth but at the same time it's more than large enough to just 00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:03.000 Chuck most of your stuff and if you really need to you can fold the seats 00:02:59.819 --> 00:03:05.459 down one final really cool detail is 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.120 that this little antenna GPS chummy right here is actually see-through so 00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:12.959 you can have a look at all of the insides I actually know if there's 00:03:10.739 --> 00:03:18.360 anything of substance in there besides an antenna so I learned something 00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:23.400 there we go yeah that's a not a whole lot of space 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:26.879 right there I guess you can like Chuck a wallet if you want that's about it I 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.739 don't even think you could fit an LTT water bottle lttstore.com what's 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:35.879 particularly disappointing is that this is an all-wheel drive model so there's 00:03:33.480 --> 00:03:40.200 you know crap and a whole motor in the way but in other regions with the rear 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:48.599 wheel drive only model you get a much larger front but uh not in North America 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:50.340 because reasons oh hopping into the back 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.060 seat first of all oh my God I am absolutely soaked this is quite a good 00:03:51.959 --> 00:03:59.280 spot to be now the rear seat has the same problem as the front seat where you 00:03:55.860 --> 00:04:02.159 have absolute gobs and heaps of leg room 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:06.540 but the Headroom is not so great this is just kind of a flaw with the whole 00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:09.900 design of a car like this you have a sedan and then you have all the 00:04:07.799 --> 00:04:13.739 batteries along the bottom which just kind of moves the seats up or the floor 00:04:11.939 --> 00:04:18.120 up and then you don't have as much Headroom as you would normally have in a 00:04:15.540 --> 00:04:23.880 car of this size that said though at six feet I am I'm squeaking it I'm just in 00:04:21.479 --> 00:04:28.080 here and it is very comfy but if you're like six one six two you are not gonna 00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:31.860 be having a good time back here that said for someone who just Yeet the kids 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:36.660 very good like here we also have charging ports there and even heated 00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:41.460 seats if you want to well have a hot butt even though we do have white seats 00:04:39.060 --> 00:04:46.320 in here which is not my favorite they've given us black floor mats and the trim 00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:50.340 around the door is gray so you're not going to get it messy nearly as quickly 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:55.500 as something like the gb60 hopping into the front seat this is a very very 00:04:52.919 --> 00:05:00.419 comfortable spot to be these seats even though they aren't super bolstered or 00:04:57.419 --> 00:05:02.280 anything are just very comfortable I 00:05:00.419 --> 00:05:05.940 quite like them there is a bit of a problem though if you're tall you're 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:10.380 gonna be hitting your head on the ceiling so solve that I'm leaned back a 00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:14.520 little bit further than I would like to be but if you're like an actually taller 00:05:12.780 --> 00:05:19.620 person like six three or more you're gonna be doing this kind of a thing it's 00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:24.300 it's going to be a little bit strange just driving like this everywhere I do 00:05:22.380 --> 00:05:28.320 really wish that the seat would go like maybe an inch or so lower because I 00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:33.120 think that would make the sort of more like sporty reclined position that I'm 00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:38.039 required to do a little bit more comfortable overall this is just a very 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.699 nice and comfortable spot to be and like there are a lot of hard plastics like 00:05:39.900 --> 00:05:45.780 this right here very hard but at the same time they've 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.800 done the molds in such a way that it looks really really good like they have 00:05:47.820 --> 00:05:54.180 just a little bit of Rippling that goes up the side that catches the LED lights 00:05:52.020 --> 00:05:58.680 down in the bottom and just such a cool way they also have like all of the 00:05:56.039 --> 00:06:03.600 fabrics and stuff just feels so nice like it's Squishy in a way where you're 00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:09.000 not going to feel uncomfortable after even four hours in here one thing that 00:06:06.419 --> 00:06:12.960 Andy doesn't like is uh the hard plastic right here I still kind of dig it it 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:16.860 reminds me a lot of the Acer Vero laptops that use recycled plastic and 00:06:15.180 --> 00:06:20.820 I'm sure that's what this right here is too now the locks and Windows are down 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.740 here I'm sure that you get used to it but I haven't in a week but I'm sure you 00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:29.940 will but at the same time everything in here it's just a nice spot to sit one 00:06:28.380 --> 00:06:33.840 change that I really appreciate compared to the ionic 5 is how they've done this 00:06:31.979 --> 00:06:36.660 center console now it is pretty neat how the one the ironic 5 kind of moves 00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:41.160 forward and backward if you get the ultimate package but I much prefer this 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.940 this Center area I think is just so much more usable than having a gap in between 00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:48.240 with nothing there I'm always scared that something's going to roll around 00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:51.660 and end up under my brake pedal and I die whereas this right here you check 00:06:50.100 --> 00:06:55.919 something in that it's not going to be flipping around the steering wheel looks 00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:00.360 pretty funky but also is very functional sure we do have glossy black up here 00:06:58.259 --> 00:07:06.300 which kind of sucks but the most important stuff is the rocker and the 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.740 knobs which feel and look fantastic also 00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:13.259 really like these little pixels here drive mode down there and just overall 00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:16.740 it works quite well surprisingly it isn't really obstructing my gauge 00:07:14.940 --> 00:07:20.220 cluster which was a really big problem for me in the ionic 5. on the back of 00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:23.699 the steering wheel we have some Flappy paddles that allow you to choose how 00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:28.860 much regen you want of four different levels the fourth being eye pedal which 00:07:26.220 --> 00:07:32.580 is one pedal driving so you don't need to be using your brake to come to a full 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:37.259 stop the problem though is that whenever you switch to park or reverse it turns 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:41.580 eye pedal off so I just leave it on level three and deal with hitting the 00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:46.199 brake it's fine but I do really wish that ipedal didn't just disable itself 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:51.660 all the time I think this is where we finally go and drive it but first a word 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:55.080 from our sponsor

--> 00:08:25.560 446 foot-pounds of torque and 320 horsepower which means if you're going 00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:31.080 onto a highway like we did right now oh it is pretty freaking quick it's not 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:36.539 insane like some of the electric cars that we've been reviewing but at the 00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:39.599 same time it is gosh darn good now you 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:42.320 don't get quite that electric snap back 00:08:39.599 --> 00:08:45.899 like gives you a good push but it isn't jarring but then again nothing about 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.740 this really is jarring we're going around a corner right now 00:08:49.560 --> 00:08:55.200 it handles it well it's not doing anything that you wouldn't expect it to 00:08:53.220 --> 00:08:59.279 compared to other electric cars like I don't know how they've made this so 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:03.540 comfortable but we're going over bumps right now it's not crashy at all it 00:09:01.140 --> 00:09:08.339 feels like the suspension is just set up well for a sedan which is kind of for 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:12.120 electric cars the biggest praise that you can give it that said for the most 00:09:10.260 --> 00:09:17.760 part while I've been driving the ionic six I haven't been thinking about things 00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:20.580 like how fast it is or how well it 00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:24.660 handles Corners because it just very simply does those things very well in 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:30.660 such a way that you just sort of relax you sort of sit back hang out and just 00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:34.980 sort of let the car take you from place to place particularly because it is just 00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:38.820 so quiet in here when you're on the highway they have done an exceptional 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:43.019 job with the sound isolation in this just like they did on the Ionic 5. one 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:49.200 thing that I really do not like about this car is that there is a fair bit of 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:51.839 like latency in the gas pedal so even in 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:56.399 the sport mode when you get off the gas it can take a second for it to figure 00:09:53.880 --> 00:10:00.240 out what the heck is going on and this can lead to being really difficult to 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:05.700 properly balance the car while in Corners because like off the gas now 00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:09.540 we're decelerating it's just it doesn't have that quick connected feel that I 00:10:07.860 --> 00:10:14.339 would want and like it's extra annoying because they are electric motors there 00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:19.500 is no response time for them it's just simply what Hyundai has decided to tune 00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:24.060 in the infotainment in here is great and it's great mostly because it is purely a 00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:28.920 vessel for Android auto or apple carplay you just plug in your phone which you do 00:10:26.760 --> 00:10:33.000 have to plug in no Wireless Android auto but once it's plugged in it just comes 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:38.820 up here nice big screen it all looks great and it all functions fantastic the 00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:44.700 problem is it's a little bit of a reach so everything is sort of out here and I 00:10:41.880 --> 00:10:48.839 have to be forward to hit all of it also like we do have climate controls down 00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:52.980 here but pretty much all of that is also just done on the top touchscreen like uh 00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:57.360 here's the seat heater so you hit that and instead of it you know just changing 00:10:55.440 --> 00:11:01.500 your seat heating it brings up a screen for your seat heating it's it's not 00:10:59.459 --> 00:11:05.459 terrible like some of the cars have been so that's pretty good one thing this 00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:10.260 infotainment does make me really miss though is the dial that you get in 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:14.700 Genesis Vehicles so like this whole thing feels like it's set up to be 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.959 operated with a dial and it makes so much more sense when you have one in 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:23.220 your hand like I don't need some fancy Crystal or anything like that just give 00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:27.779 me something simple down here that I can turn and go through all of that and I 00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:32.459 would be way happier Hyundai that said this is still really quite good it's all 00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:37.320 logical and you'll get used to it in a week or two one thing I really like 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:41.940 about the ionic six is just how little wind noise there is in here like it 00:11:39.959 --> 00:11:46.800 makes sense the aerodynamics of this car are exceptional but you can just be 00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:50.600 going down the highway and it is barely different than where you're just going 00:11:48.300 --> 00:11:56.579 down like a 50 kilometer per hour road excellent job there what also really 00:11:53.760 --> 00:12:01.260 helps with the feeling of just easily getting to and from work or whatever 00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:07.380 destination you have is the sound system it is pretty much as bog standard as you 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:11.640 can get so it's from Bose you have six and a half in the door one inch Tweeter 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:16.560 eight inch sub on the parcel shelf but at the same time they haven't ruined it 00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:21.899 around fifty thousand dollars I feel like is the danger zone for sound 00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:24.420 systems because sometimes like in here 00:12:21.899 --> 00:12:29.160 you get just a very simple setup nothing too fancy and it sounds good other times 00:12:27.180 --> 00:12:34.260 you'll get menu factors that try to use really fancy surround stuff or put all 00:12:32.160 --> 00:12:39.540 of the bass in the door speakers and they just sort of ruin it by trying to 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:43.400 make it sound better play crab rave 00:12:39.540 --> 00:12:50.359 describe the Brave by DragonForce 00:12:53.779 --> 00:13:01.079 yeah it's pretty good nothing exceptional but they haven't ruined it 00:12:59.339 --> 00:13:05.579 and that's kind of the most important thing I would listen to the sound system 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:10.560 every day just go into and from work like this 00:13:07.920 --> 00:13:15.240 pretty good now unfortunately our Labs audio guy wasn't in this week so we 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:21.120 didn't actually get to test it but my ears say it is quite flat but there is a 00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:25.260 lot of volume dependent EQ so you get a lot of bass at lower volumes which is 00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:29.880 good because the sound of like the road and crap masks it and then as it gets up 00:13:27.959 --> 00:13:33.180 it becomes more and more flat and I think somewhere around 80 85 decibels 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:37.320 Maybe it's about Perfect all right let's do an 00:13:35.579 --> 00:13:41.760 actual launch oh 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:46.079 it is pretty good one thing I really like about this is that it has enough 00:13:43.500 --> 00:13:50.160 power that you can feel very confident when there's like a gap in traffic you 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:53.519 just be like all right you don't have to worry about it putting too much power 00:13:51.660 --> 00:13:58.079 down and you like ending up in the ditch or something like that but at the same 00:13:55.560 --> 00:14:03.000 time you can just scoot out it's perfect for that of course this being a Hyundai 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:07.639 it has all of the assistance features that you would expect and they all work 00:14:05.160 --> 00:14:13.260 really really well like adaptive cruise really good job of just slowing down you 00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:19.019 feel confident with it I just sort of let it do its thing even in pretty heavy 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:21.360 traffic also the lane centering is not 00:14:19.019 --> 00:14:26.579 quite as good as what you might find in like Mercedes-Benz or BMW but in this 00:14:24.180 --> 00:14:32.339 kind of a price tier it is as good as you can get fantastic job there overall 00:14:29.579 --> 00:14:37.260 I just really really like this car like we're on a bumpy road right now and it 00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:41.760 is not too harsh they have an excellent job of just playing to all of the 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:46.740 strengths of an electric car and really like massaging out a lot of the 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:52.440 downsides it's super comfy it's super quiet and it's just a very pleasant 00:14:48.660 --> 00:14:54.899 place to be for like 45 minutes or so as 00:14:52.440 --> 00:15:00.540 you go to and from work Andy just said the speed is not intimidating but you 00:14:57.959 --> 00:15:05.399 are able to chop on almost everyone and that is a perfect way of putting it like 00:15:02.699 --> 00:15:09.839 you can probably make your mom go whoa but it's not gonna like Snap someone's 00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:14.100 neck your mom's probably not gonna kid you yeah I should be like instead of 00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:22.320 like stop it stop it stop it now the final bit the price it's a very 00:15:19.380 --> 00:15:28.139 complicated so in the U.S It lines up almost perfectly with the ionic five but 00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:32.699 in Canada it is quite a bit more and this one that we have right here the 00:15:29.699 --> 00:15:36.180 ultimate package is 65 00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:38.880 000 now that's um a little bit rough but 00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:43.500 at the same time this is one of my favorite electric cars that I've ever 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:45.779 driven and for the price probably my 00:15:43.500 --> 00:15:51.740 favorite like this is an exceptionally just comfortable nice spot to be with 00:15:48.779 --> 00:15:56.220 enough pep to get a little bit of excitement in you so 00:15:54.540 --> 00:16:00.120 huge thanks for watching hit like get subscribed and maybe let us know down 00:15:58.199 --> 00:16:06.500 below what else you want to see cheaper cars more expensive cars just have a 00:16:03.180 --> 00:16:06.500
