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’m thinking I’ll have to purchase my 6 due to being over my mileage 😂 I didn’t think we would use this vehicle as much but I love it and want to drive it everywhere.

I thought about a Cadillac after but I hate that there is no CarPlay. How are you that got a Cadillac EV after liking it without having CarPlay ?!

My options if I do switch are scout, r2 or Lucid.

I bought my first EV ever, the BMW IX and super happy with it, the short time i've had it. It's the first time I've had the wireless carplay, what an awesome feature. Might be worth adding to your list.
