Just just got a 25 Ioniq 6 Limited about a month ago. I will echo most of the points here. It's wider than the Kona we had previously, enough that the parking sensors are very unhappy while pulling in or out of the garage. The driver assist features are fantastic, used them both ways for a recent 3.5 hour trip and it was a game changer. They aren't true autopilot (in the way Tesla advertises it), they are fully driver assistance features that take 80% of the load from you but REQUIRE you to pay attention since they will disengage without warning, and don't handle some situations well (like lanes splitting apart). We find the fast charger is fantastic, IDK why more manufacturers aren't putting 800v architectures into their cars. Charged 20-80 in literally 20 minutes last week at a 150kV EVgo station. Everyone else was taking easily twice that long. The V2L feature turned out to be a game changer. We just had a very bad storm in the Pittsburgh area last week and were without power for almost three days. Used the interior plug to keep the chest freezer running to drastically reduce our food losses. Running it for 8 hour overnight used about 4% battery. We are picking up a true V2L adapter to use the J1772 port and not have to leave the car on overnight for future needs. I think the auto parking seems pretty gimmicky, I can't think of a case where I would not want to pull into a spot on my own, but it's not so busy that I'm comfortable gaffing about with the auto parking. Maybe for parallel parking since we don't do much of that. We liked the surrounding view the first couple weeks but I end up mostly just using my mirrors and the normal backup camera since I find it more natural still. We mostly turn off the parking sensor alerts, I wish I could disable them without disabling other alerts (or even just the side ones, they are super sensitive and not helpful IMO).
