Now then, now then, what's all this? An electric car that looks like it?s come straight out of Tomorrow?s World? Well I?ll be blowed ? it?s the Hyundai Ioniq 6, and let me tell ya, it?s an absolute belter!
I had a go in one the other day ? smooth as a well-oiled wicket and faster than Fred Trueman on a tear-up! I'm not saying it?s quick, but if this thing was batting, it?d be 50 not out in no time. Zooooom ? 0 to 60 in, what, five seconds-ish? Maybe less? I dunno ? didn?t have my stopwatch, I was too busy grinning. The seats? Like sitting in a comfy umpire?s chair with your feet up. And there?s loads of room ? you could swing a bat in there (though I wouldn?t recommend it ? mind the infotainment system). Range? More miles than a county cricketer in August ? up to 338 miles they say! That?s Manchester to Lord?s and back with charge to spare. It?s got tech up the wazoo ? cameras instead of wing mirrors, ambient lighting like you?re in a disco, and it?s whisper quiet. Not a peep. Like a Lancashire dressing room after being skittled for 86. And look at it ? it?s got that streamliner vibe, like a stealth bomber mated with a jellybean. Proper futuristic! You?ll turn heads at the lights ? even the pigeons will do a double take. It's electric, it's slick, and it's smoother than a cover drive from Gower ? you?d be daft not to give it a look!
So go on ? get yourself down to the showroom have a butchers, bring the biscuts and tell ?em Bumble sent ya. And remember: charge it up and off you pop!
