IONIQ 6 Digitale Außenspiegel ➖Fluch oder Segen?🤔

Hyundai IONIQ 6 Digital Exterior Mirrors

Main Features and Advantages

• The exterior camera units are about 6 cm narrower than conventional mirrors, making them easier to accommodate in tight parking spaces and garages.
• Their flatter shape may improve aerodynamics and potentially reduce energy use or increase range, though the reviewers provided no measured figures.
• A transparent cover reveals the indicator’s pixel module. The illuminated indicator was described as distinctive and attractive.
• The cameras are not subject to the fogging or freezing that can affect conventional mirrors. The presenters also said bright sunlight is less likely to dazzle the driver.
• OLED screens mounted near the dashboard display a sharp, familiar, mirror-like image.
• While driving, the system works with the IONIQ 6’s driver-assistance features. When a vehicle is alongside, red indicators and exclamation marks warn the driver that it may be unsafe to move across.
• The reviewers found the image clear enough for ordinary reversing and parking. They also demonstrated parking with the side-camera view, with the car’s 360-degree camera available as an additional aid.

Drawbacks and User Experience

• The camera displays take some adjustment: at first, drivers may instinctively look outside for a conventional mirror. The presenters expected the system to become familiar with use.
• The option is available only with the Unique package and costs an additional €1,300.
• Repairs may be more expensive than for conventional mirrors because of the technology involved.
• No specific efficiency, range, or comparative performance measurements were provided.

Verdict

The digital mirrors offer useful visibility in poor weather, a clear image, extra driver-assistance warnings, and smaller exterior housings. However, the €1,300 price, possible higher repair costs, and adjustment period mean they are not an automatic recommendation for everyone. The video presents them as a potentially worthwhile option for drivers who value their practical features, while leaving the choice to personal preference.

Presenters’ Contributions

• Justin demonstrated the exterior units and described their smaller size, aerodynamic potential, styling, and resistance to fogging and freezing.
• Max discussed the interior screens, the initial adjustment needed, image clarity, and the driving and reversing demonstrations.
