Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD Techniq review

EV Central

Funny looking thing, the Hyundai Ioniq 6. We sampled Hyundai’s new Ioniq 6 ‘Electrified Streamliner’ (not a sedan, Hyundai insists) in South Korea ahead of its early 2023 Australian arrival. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has incredible drag coefficient of 0.21. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6. Distinctive.

Stuff We Use: Socket & Wrench Sets

The Truth About Cars

Typical work like brakes on a Hyundai or starter motor on a Ram are easy, especially with the mass of socket and extension variants which are part of this kit. With handy about 200 pieces in the set, it’s a rare day now in which I do not have the proper socket size for whatever task is at hand.
