Nope, mine is sat out front on the driveway, and I can't help but smile each time I look out or walk past it.
No car I have ever had before has given me the feel good factor that this one does 😍

 

Great to hear! Enjoy it!

 

No
I love the look of it

 

I love the way mine looks and just about everything it does

 

Nope, I like it too - not as much as my EV6, obviously - but a close second.

 

You mean that it looks like Porsche from the back?

 

I think the Porsche reference was tongue in cheek, the one i cant see if the reference to the Spitfire (not the car)

 

Reminds me of the Hyundai Coupe. As opposed to the Ioniq 5 which was clearly inspired by the crazy love child of Robocop and Shredder.

 

With an A3 thrown in every time I see a photo I always think of my 05 A3

 

You are not alone.

 

Yes! But I do like Marmite.

 

I loved the Ioniq 5 on first sight. The 6 I can't quite decide about and I'll probably need to see it in person before concluding. It's either super cool, or one of those attempts to ape German (the Porsche reference is very strong) car design that doesn't quite work out. One thing's for sure, Hyundai aren't making boring cars anymore! In a time when so many cars seem bland, they seem to have something a bit special in their design department.

 

For me if you look the car from the front, you don't expect to see what the back actually looks like and vice versa. I try really hard to see this as one car but my take is that the team that designed the front was a different one from the team responsible for the back of the car.
Nevertheless this is only my point of view. Obviously a lot of people like the way the car look, so...horses for courses

 

Well, there is that old saying: beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder!
Seriously, don't give a spit about what others think - just enjoy it!

 

I don't see the Saab comparison having owned several to be honest and personally not a fan of the 6's fish like profile.

The back end looks good but the front is extremely bland i.m.o

To me the 5 looks far better resolved and balanced.

Plus it's a hatchback,I bloody hate saloons🤣

 

Doesn't ressemble the Saab I had as my first car. The fuel gauge was connected to the accelerator by a cable !! Those twin choke Weber carbs really do sound prehistoric now right !!!

 

Nope, its looks pretty damn neat and so much better in the flesh too.

it looks like nothing else on the road.

Id suggest that it has a longer lasting and more desirable design than the still brilliant Ioniq5.

 

Reminds me of my dad's old Saab 900 back in the day!

Funny you mention Saab. Since the rise of the 'current' crop of EVs I often thought Saab would be a great brand to bring back as an EV. A modern interpretation of what made Saab so appealing could seriously work as an EV.

 

Doesn't remind me of my Dads Saab it was 2 stroke and freewheeled on overrun and was the colour of poop.

looked like this one only his had more rust
and the rear view mirror was mounted on the Dash so whoever was sitiing in the centre in the back (normally me) had to develop a 90 degree neck

 

Looks a lot like the Audi TT to me... and as the Audi TT looks a little like a Porsche, and the Porsche 911 is my all-time fav car, then I suppose I like the Ioniq 6.

I think when I get the big win on the Premium Bonds that I am overdue I'll be looking at the Ioniq 6.

 

I saw one outside a dealership in Munich a couple of weeks ago, and really glad I saw it in the flesh - it looks sooooo much better than in pics...I took a few snaps and it they don't show how well that rear spoiler combo works, which is a very Marmite!

I guess the colour helps, as with all cars, and the one I saw was in a matte silver with white interior, which I think worked well...whether I'd have the guts to order a white leather interior is another matter, seeing as I wear jeans 90% of the time, visions of a blue-stained driver's seat are enough to given me second thoughts!

 

Definitely very colour sensitive, and seems to suit light colours better.

The biophilic blue (nearly black) I test drove didn't look particularly good. Very bland.

Overall though, I don't think it's a particularly good looking car. Not that I care, as its the aero, silence, comfort and efficiency that matter to me.

 

I do see the Saab and Porsche references and I think it's probably my favourite looking EV, but that's a low bar for me.

I keep seeing the old Citroën DS in it, is that just me?

 

I saw on locally yesterday. Stopped to take a quick look around as I was leaving the car park.

First thoughts, smaller than I expected. Front and side looks great. Rear doesn't look as bad as photos, but still very bizarre.

 

Just saw your reply and it reminded me of this thread, thanks 😊

I saw one on the motorway last week and it looked really good on the move…but again it was (to me) in the right colour, that same as the one I saw in Germany.

There are some mock-ups of a shooting brake flying around the web, and if that became a reality, my order would be straight in!

We all seem to agree that it’s bizarre, but I wonder if the same was thought when Ford replaced the Cortina with the Sierra (I was only a toddler then, so can’t really remember 😜)

Cheers,

Nick

Yes, it was. As a young motoring enthusiast at the time, I remember the Sierra launch well.

The sleek Ford Sierra was ahead of its time. Nicknamed the jelly mould car, at the time of its launch its aerodynamic design returned a drag coefficient of 0.34, which was only been beaten by the Porsche 924 and Citroen GS.

 

There is a view probably at 5 oclock if the front is at Midday, that i dont find it attractive but at any other angle i think it a lovely looking car.

 

The challenge for me is that the Ioniq 5 looked pretty much exactly like the concept car it was based on so when they announced the Ioniq 6 would be derived from the 6 concept car I was expecting…. Well, not what arrived anyway.

As for SAABs, I have a couple and the Ioniq 6 is a teardrop shape like the original ur-SAAB but that’s about it. The ur-SAAB had a Cd of 0.3 and a tiny frontal area, the later ones drifted through the low 0.3x’s then the 99’s and 900’s blew it and had nearly 0.4Cd with blunt fronts that didn’t help. By the time they were Vauxhall Vectra’s underneath they were getting lower again but they never really were designed by aircraft architects. It was a lot of marketing guff.
