For every Mach-e, I saw two Ioniqs. Without looking at the sales numbers right now it would just be guessing. Although every Mach-e owner I talked to loved theirs and praised it. I get the feeling traditional Ford buyers will prefer the Mach-e people and breaking into the EV market or upgrading from a Leaf or Bolt will buy the Hyundai. There is such demand for EV'S here I think both will do well

Both are selling the equivalent of a rock chip.

the EV6 GT appears to be very impressive... 577HP, 0-60 in low 3's, nice interior, drift mode

It has a slightly smaller battery pack than my Polestar, yet a combined 577 HP (169 more horses) and pretty much the same range (the Polestar is 240 miles on a 90 percent charge). I'm jealous

Uber driver picked us up in an EV6, I think regular dual motor. It was well-dampened over bumps and rode very well, clearly smoother ride than our Model Y. I was definitely intrigued by it after experiencing it in-person.

I was in the NYC yesterday and saw lots of these rare EVs!

2 Ionic 5s
1 Kia EV6 which looks super cool
2 Lucid Air

Teslas, Porsche Taycan and Mach Es to a lesser extent are a dime a dozen where i live.
Have not seen many MB EQ or BMW i models.

Saw one of these the other day, it was sharp! Looks better in person.

Tons of EV6's in my area. Surprised at how many times I'm seeing them already. I liked this and the Ioniq equally, but I'm starting to favor the EV6 (maybe because I see it way more).

I like the specs but the styling has yet to grow on me.

I was behind an Ioniq 5 on country road yesterday and I really do like the back of it. Something about the boxiness and sharp edges appeal to me

Reviews are also out on European YT:


We all knew what it was fast, but what's most surprising is that it actually rides softer yet handles better than the standard EV6, despite sitting on even larger 21's.

Damn, not a good time to buy a car. Kia EV6 with eAWD, $10K down. With my credit score (758) and 48 months which is the minimum, the interest rate is 5.5 percent

That's my retirement money . Anyway I'm not planning on buying anything until my wife's Ioniq lease comes due November 2023, I just priced it out of curiosity

This looks good in real life. Damn good. (Just not the back which is terrible)
