The vehicle under scrutiny comes with a single electric motor situated on the rear axle, boasting a maximum output of 228 horsepower. Housed within the vehicle's floor is a 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack, providing a maximum range of up to 614 kilometers (381 miles), as determined by the European WLTP cycle. In this setup, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in roughly 7.4 seconds. The test vehicle is equipped with Nexen NFera Sport EV tires, sized 225/55 R18.
The reviewer in the video is not particularly impressed by how the Ioniq 6 maneuvers around the cones. The top entry speed at which the car avoids colliding with any cones in the test is 72 km/h (44.7 mph), which is on the lower end, especially for electric vehicles typically benefitting from a lower center of gravity. Tire performance seems to contribute significantly to this outcome, as stated by the test driver. Over 10 attempts were made at varying speeds, raising the tires' temperatures and negatively impacting their capabilities.
The car's suspension—featuring a McPherson strut front and multi-link rear configuration—also appears to play a key role. According to the reviewer, it's quite softly tuned while the accelerator responds aggressively, leading to the Ioniq 6 being prone to oversteer. Furthermore, the reviewer emphasizes that the moose test performance varies depending on the chosen level of recuperation. High recuperation levels seem to make the car jittery, as it feels like some braking force is applied to the rear wheels.
