Nice car with some baffling choices
Overall this is a nice car to drive. The three versions are a bit strange in pricing and what you get.
What is really strange is the car's system. None of the Ioniq 6 supports wireless CarPlay/Android Auto yet the Tuscon does which is a much cheaper car, you must plug in. Additionally there is no way to automatically switch to CarPlay when you plug in your phone to make use of it. You also have an advisory to confirm every single time you start up your car. While you can ignore it and it goes away after a bit, it's really odd that you can't permanently dismiss it.
The charging scheduler makes no sense, you can not simply say "Only charge during these times" you MUST first say when you think you'll start driving each day in order to take advantage of charging only during certain times. To get around this just set your schedule to start driving right after your want your car to charge (i.e. if you get better rates from 12am to 3pm, tell the car you depart every day at 12:30am). You shouldn't have to do this for something that should be so straight forward but you do.
The manual suggests to save power you use recycled air but unlike most other cars you must turn this on every single time you turn on the car rather than leaving it and letting the air management decide to turn it off for certain cases (or on if going in a tunnel).
The front of the car sensors are way too sensitive. Thankfully there is a button to turn them off. If you are going through a drive through expect to hear them non stop. Oddly too at a stop light they'll randomly alert then stop, maybe start again for a beep. If you ever park in an uneven lot expect a quick flash of the sensors as well.
On a similar note sometimes the steering wheel sensor thinks you're not holding the steering wheel. I keep my hands firmly at the 10 and 2 grips and it started flashing at me on a drive to keep my hands on the wheel. A quick repositioning made it stop but had to keep doing it.
The rear sensors are probably the best. Nice visual and at times audio cues that are accurate to traffic around you. Although a bit annoying if traffic is heavy and you're just signaling to other drivers to please let you merge over despite the traffic and it's beeping and buzzing (if you have haptic sensors enabled on the steering wheel).
The rear seat safety belt holders being a cut out notch in the trim is a cheap looking and feeling design decision. I'd rather it not be there at all.
The sound system is really not great. It overly emphasizes bass at all levels. The mid levels sound strange and distant until you turn up the speakers to be quite loud (around 30). I've read the Bose system in the Limited is not much better.
The back seat area is very spacious, more leg room than in a 2025 Tuscon small SUV. I have been told it feels a bit bouncy when the front seats feel quite stable.
The front trunk is kinda pointless. It is about the size of a one year stack of magazines. The glove compartment is oddly massive.
The front wipers do pull away from the windshield but you can not flip them up from their natural down position as it just hits the hood. Very strange, not that you need to pull them up too often outside of cleaning.
I was concerned about uphill acceleration. Where I live there is a short uphill on ramp that I routinely have to take. Older cars I had if you didn't time it right would struggle to hit 55 by the merge and its a 65 zoned highway. My previous car though was an Infiniti G37 coupe which was great with acceleration. This car handles the uphill merge in Eco mode quite well and not by means of having to floor it.
The front head lights could be "up" a bit more. While not blinding other drivers is good, it focuses greatly on illuminating the road but if you're concerned about seeing people or animals crossing in the distance the light is really not angled up enough to see that well. The auto bright is not very reliable/usable.
