I was one of those that didn’t really care for the design when I first saw photos online, but I ran into one for the first time in person at an EA station two days ago and it looked so much better. I prefer the Ioniq 5 design since I like the hatchback look, but I was impressed.
I still think Hyundai made a mistake in not offering the smaller wheels and more range with the top trim on the Ioniq 6.
I'm one of the weird people who liked the look when I saw photos but was underwhelmed a bit when I saw one in person. There's one always parked outside my favorite taco shop and I have a habit of ogling it on my lunch break lol.
As much as the extra range of the Ioniq 6 would be nice, the 5 is more than good enough for road trips (as long as CCS continues to exist at least) and is more practical everyday. And looks so much cooler IMO.
Agreed on the practicality and looks of the Ioniq 5. Love the car. So close to being a perfect car.
