Five weeks in, and the Hyundai IONIQ 6 still has me thinking. This isn’t one of those cars you get into and immediately form a solid, unchanging opinion about. It challenges, intrigues, and sometimes even confounds. But the more time I spend with it, the more I see why it ultimately stood out as our Car of the Year 2025. The design remains a hot topic.
