You probably don’t know these facts about the Hyundai Ioniq 6 yet. There are various advantages and disadvantages (each with a photo) that you will probably not encounter in other tests.
When we test a new car, we can’t include all the things that catch our eye in our articles. That is why we put three advantages and three disadvantages in the spotlight. Intended for anyone who is really curious about the car and has already read our review of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 – and the Hyundai Ioniq 6 range test.
Advantage 1: enough legroom for tall Dutch people
Despite the prominent center tunnel (which the Hyundai Ioniq 5 does not have), even tall drivers have more than enough legroom.
Advantage 2: Hyundai corrects Volkswagen
Electric Volkswagens often have a play and pause icon on the accelerator and brake pedals. Actually, the + and – of Hyundai are much more logical, because with those pedals you go faster or softer.
Advantage 3: Flippers for the range freaks
The Ioniq 6 also has paddles on the steering wheel with which you can regulate the degree of regeneration. Indispensable in a car that revolves around economical driving. Then you want that precision.

Disadvantage 1: No flap but a drawer
A drawer as a glove compartment is only useful if no one is sitting in the passenger seat. Or your passenger must wear knee pads.
Disadvantage 2: Cheap ignition key
The ignition key of the Ioniq 6 is a cheap-feeling silver-colored egg. The plastic between the buttons forms the H of Hyundai.
Disadvantage 3: The steering wheel is in the way
The Ioniq 5 also had this problem: no matter how you sit and look, part of the digital instrumentation disappears behind the edge of the steering wheel.
