Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric car:- The car has new tech under its swoopy skin.
- Hyundai doesn't build cookie-cutter cars.
- Base model rear-wheel drive is $42,700.
- The price of the top-trim limited model with a long range pack and dual motor all-wheel drive is $57,400.
- The 6 does not qualify for federal tax credits.
- The design will be polarizing; Hyundai calls it a Streamliner, not a sedan.
- It is a striking piece of future retro sculpture with echoes of the Mercedes CLS and Porsche 911.
- It has a low coefficient of drag of 0.22, making it one of the best in the business.
- The 6 has active grill shutters up front.
- It has hundreds, if not thousands, of squares that Hyundai calls pixels.

- The 6 silently rushes to 60 miles an hour in under 5 seconds.
- The single speed transmission is controlled by a stalk.
- It has adjustable performance tones, which are easy to select.
- Rear drive gets more range, but dual motor gives you more power.
- The EPA range estimate for AWD is 270 miles and 33 kWh per 100 miles.
- Its top speed is 115 miles per hour.
- With regen off, this will coast for miles; dial it all the way in for one-pedal driving.
- The rear charging with 800 volts takes 18 minutes from 10-80%.
- It has vehicle-to-load capability.
- The rear seating has good knee, leg, and foot room, better than in Polestar and Model 3.
- The car's ADAS has been improved.
- Digital Key 2.0 allows owners to text a key to family and friends, working for Samsung and Apple.
- The design can be described as drivable art right down to the details.

- High-power 350kW charging stations are rare, plus open rear seating lack some headroom and features.
- It lacks wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
- There is a small trunk and no real storage up front.
- With all of this style, tech, and charging, it is a game changer.
