REVIEW: Following the success of the Ioniq 5, Hyundai has created an even more distinctive saloon to challenge the Tesla Model 3 - does it come close? ⚡
. Forget the 1930s-slipstreamer references: that’s the comparison that will be key to shifting lots and lots of Ioniq 6s.
Efficiency benefits aside, the Ioniq 6’s styling won’t hurt its cause. In an EV market struggling with homogenisation, it’s a genuinely different proposition. From the rear, there’s more than a passing resemblance to a digital-age 911, a comparison surely encouraged with the vertical grooves on the dramatic rear spoiler.
There’s also the new e-ASD system, a “spaceship-like” noise that changes pitch as you accelerate. Most will, of course, set that to ‘off’. Our test car featured the optional ‘digital wing mirrors’ , with the screens displaying your rearward views contained on two prominent ‘wing tips’ that fold out from the end of the dashboard. While still not as intuitive as actual mirrors, the screens are better placed than in many other EVs that feature them.
The AWD version offers plenty of power and, as the official 0-62mph time of 5.0sec suggests, it’s easy to access. The system’s delivery is smooth, giving you easy access to the large reserves of torque. If the streamliner bodywork had you mistakenly expecting an electric sports car, you might be left disappointed, but the Ioniq 6 holds its own near the sharp end of the electric saloon class.
