Hyundai Ioniq 6 review: Clean lines and clever tech make it a hit

I first got to drive the Hyundai Ioniq 6 at the tail end of 2022 and was left feeling hugely impressed with it. Since then, I’ve had a few more encounters with the car, including an interesting experiment in the US where Hyundai pitched it against the fab new Hyundai Santa Cruz pickup for a high-mileage road trip. Putting a fleet of all-electric cars up against petrol-engine models is always going to be interesting – even more so when you’re heading out for hours on end and driving through the tortuous heat of Death Valley.
