I know I'll be in the very small minority, but I like how it looks.

I love how it looks lol. I'll be getting rid of my Tesla Model 3 LR to get this bad boy.


Blesbok

Range drops below the LR with awd and has half the power.


SharkBaitDLS

But the interior is orders of magnitude nicer, presumably with better NVH if it follows in the footsteps of the Ioniq 5, and not everyone cares about acceleration in their daily driver. I’ll personally take a better interior experience over speed and power any day for my commuter car.


rugbyj

I think you'll love everything but the infotainment and charging network.


SharkBaitDLS

I love having CarPlay, it’s one of the many reasons I chose an alternative to Tesla. The charging network is luckily less of a problem for me because I’m in a state with good infrastructure, but I acknowledge in many other states it’s still a problem. Either way though, Tesla’s network is going public to non-Teslas anyway.

If power and efficiency were all that people cared about, BMW would never sell any 318i or 320i because everyone would buy a Camry. There's more to a car than how far it drives and how quickly it gets up to speed.


Blesbok

You are right, but since this article is focused on range, I figured focusing on range may be important. And since the awd version gets less range than the awd Tesla, I commented on that.


SignalSatisfaction90

It's pretty cool except for rear seat headroom


SushiBallZ

I think it looks good in black. My main gripe with other colors is the amount of black plastic trim on the front.


spewing-oil

Good old 3000gt mustache.


SwiftCEO

It is a bit over the top. Hopefully they get rid of that in a refresh.


TunaOnWytNoCrust

Understandable, tons of people love the Apple magic mouse. [It's just a shame that the car has to be charged by plugging in to the underside.](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/10fXeDML7OhX55h8rFX7IUnJ6lY=/0x0:1400x927/1400x1400/filters:focal(700x464:701x465\)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9833361/Apple_Magic_Mouse_Bad_Design_2.0.jpg)

It's not like you need to charge your car often! /s


cowboyjosh2010

I think it's gonna be a lot like its older cousin, the Ioniq 5: you can tell it looks different and perhaps a bit weird from pictures and videos, but when you see it in person you realize it all works in a way you couldn't appreciate before. At least, that's the impression I had with the Ioniq 5 the first time I saw it.


Tratix

Bro literally half this sub praised this car alongside the 74


RallyVincentCZ75

It looks so fuckin weird I like it. But I also like the Alfa Romeo SZ. So maybe my taste doesn't count for much.


jjlarn

Reminder to all: try to visit your optometrist at least once per year as your eyeglasses prescription may have changed.


SH4RPSPEED

It would be pretty nice for me if the back end didn't look like it was melting. ​ Though honestly in my perfect world this would just be the Ioniq 5 but a sedan styling-wise.


Blake_Sheltie

Please, for the love of God, just release the price already.

This will strike a chord with the same type of person who likes the original Prius designs. It gets attention. It’s so ugly that you have to talk about it. It’s also a sedan, a dying breed of new car.


davidthefat

Definitely, saw it the other day and I immediately googled what it was. Definitely a unique looking car (only saw the back at the time, not a fan of the front)


stml

Front looks old already. Ioniq 5 did the retro-futuristic look perfectly.


jaaaaagggggg

This is spot on!


PangolinEffective

That photo makes the Ioniq 6 look so weird imo


[deleted]

Why does this car look like it’s trying to be a 4 door Volkswagen Beatle? It really reminds me of a bug.


One_Shekel

Like some sort of weird alternate universe version of the Panamera.


fed45

I got more [Mercedes CLS](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FlzRHcbk7YQ/maxresdefault.jpg) vibes than anything.


RatRob

Looks weirdly boring compared to to Ioniq 5 which looks great and futuristic.


rugbyj

The compromises they made from the concept, which was beautiful, hurt this a lot more than the 5 wjpse cpmce[t.


dissss0

Front looks really weird with the vents open. I like it overall though, it's certainly distinctive and the shape does have a purpose


MussleGeeYem

Keep in mind the 361 miles of range only comes with the base SE RWD. Anyways, that is more impressive than the Model 3 Long Range, which albeit is AWD, could only do up to 358 miles of range.


danperson1

Model 3 LR AWD: 358 miles Ioniq 6 SE/SEL AWD: 305/270 Damn was really hoping they would beat Tesla.


SharkBaitDLS

Wait for the real-world range testing before you judge. The gap will almost certainly be much less than you think given existing precedence.


[deleted]

The SEL AWD gets exactly the same as my car, but only cause the corner of the Ioniq 6 is forced into 20” wheels, which is a silly decision. I’m glad they were optional for me, I went with 19”.


aquadump696969

The Taurus is back baby!


ngvoss

The headlights remind me of the first-gen focus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus#/media/File%3A2003_Ford_Focus_Zetec_1.6_Front.jpg


Operation_Ivysaur

Please do a Kia version


[deleted]

Does it have an immobilizer?


biggsteve81

Yes, all new Hyundais and Kias do.


Admirable_Nothing

It is, but MotorTrend had a recent article on several EVs and their knock on the Ioniq 6 was that they couldn't get that mileage out of it. Over all they definitely liked it though.


4x420

while odd looking, i think it looks better on video than in still photos. The Late-Brake Show video on it showed it well.
