Hi Adrian, my Hyundai dealer told me I could only have an ionic 6 from dealer stock and that I was unable to order a car from factory in specification I wanted. Can you ask your dealer if you could place a factory order if you wanted. Simply go to another dealer Factory orders are avail, as one other poster said they will be around April 24 time. a friend was advised the same went to another dealer placed a factory order that day due April 24 too AWD is not coming on the Ioniq 6 as it will push it over the price threshold, its only avail on the Ioniq 5 on the lower premium trim as its below the price threshold. All colours are free for Motabilty with the exception of the Matte paints they require an additional cost of £220 (the difference of standard metallic paints at retail) BMW vs Ioniq 6 the BMW has the disadvantage of being a rehashed 4 series chassis accommodating EV motors still has the drivehshate tunnel etc, the Ioniq 6 wins hands down tech wise and driving wise its been built and designed from the ground up on the EV platform with 800v super fast changing which BMW can’t compete with
April 24? I was told 2 months max and was even shown the screen to comfirm for factory orders. There are also plenty in stock around the country along with at the docks. It sounds like dealers in you area are trying to clear stock! Re: colours it vastly depends on what dealer you speak to, as to whether the chargeable colours are free. I spoke via email with Hyundai UK about the AWD and they are looking into putting the premium on the scheme, with no decision on the Ultimate. I was told around a year ago by Mb a manufacturer can add cars above a threshold as long as there are cars that initially meet Mb’s criteria on the scheme and I don’t think any of us has concrete evidence what the threshold is now especially for BEV’s I agree wired AA & CP
Keso as Ian has said, I certainly have been given a factory order date of April for an actual order, for the exterior and interior colour I want, although I could have had a Hyundai stock car with the black interior or other exterior and interior colours from the dealers stock.
Is it not ridiculous that MB put on threshold restrictions on cars, especially with things like 4WD, which is a safety feature which not only helps protect the already disabled leaser and their passengers, but also MB’s own car. The only logical/illogical reason is to appease the Daily Mail readers.
