2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6

Hyundai is positioning itself as one of the leaders in electric vehicle manufacturing, adding another EV to its lineup with the Ioniq 6. Sharing a platform with the Genesis GV60, Kia EV6, and Hyundai Ioniq 5, we share our first impressions of this all-electric sedan, including its unique styling, EV performance, driving dynamics, range, and how it stacks up to competitors like Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. We also discuss whether a flat tire sealant kit is an acceptable and safe alternative to run-flat tires or a dedicated spare.     SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:16 - First Impressions: 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 03:06 - Competitors 05:16 - Styling 06:47 - Ride and Handling 12:25 - Brake Regeneration 14:43 - Interior 15:56 - Controls 16:41 - Personal Choice 20:19 - Question: Most new cars include a flat tire repair kit rather than a spare, is it wise to drive without  a spare tire?     ----------------------------------   First Drive: All-New 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Is Quick, Quiet, and Comfortable https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/2023-hyundai-ioniq-6-review-a1122495086/   2023 Hyundai Ioniq https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hyundai/ioniq-6/2023/overview/   The Kia EV9 Promises to Be a Family-Friendly, 3-Row Electric SUV https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/2024-kia-ev9-review-a4079455654/   Guide to Car Safety https://www.consumerreports.org/cars-guide-to-car-safety/     ----------------------------------- Have a question for our experts?
