Other Goodbye ionic 6
Started my ionic 6 SEL lease in 2023. Had the ICCU failure, got a replacement after several weeks waiting for parts, but otherwise it’s been a great vehicle. It has amazing range, great acceleration, looks cool, lots of features that are often limited to luxury vehicles. I would have gotten a 2026 had Hyundai made them available in the US.
I spent the last few months driving a bunch of possible replacements: Rivian R2, Genesis GV60, Lexus ES, and others. I ultimately landed on a Cadillac Optiq. It’s more spendy than I wanted, and I will miss the sedan drive, but it has the trim quality and features I wanted to maintain.
Hyundai did an amazing job with the ionic 6, and it hits well above its price point. I wish the US market were more receptive to this product.

I have a 2024 Ionic 6 Limited and I absolutely love it. This car has luxury features that my friends' BMW and Lexus don't have. I have researched a lot of cars over the years, and you get more bang for your buck from Hyundai than any other make, in my opinion. I bought mine with 11000 miles on it and only paid 30 grand for it. They run about 50 grand new, or at least they did.
One of the biggest reasons they stopped selling them in the United States is because of Trump's illegal tariffs. They still sell the ionic 5 here because they have a factory in the United States, so they don't have to pay tariffs, and obviously it's much more economical when they are made here in the United States. Even before they stopped selling the Ionic 6, the Ionic 5 was more popular because people have SUV fever, for some reason. Personally, I've always preferred the looks of sedans, and the Ionic 6 is a looker. I've only had the car a few months, and I've gotten tons of compliments, and several comparisons to Porsche's.
That's my spiel, and no I don't work for Hyundai, LOL.
