10 Biggest News Stories of the Week: Hyundai Ioniq 6 Lights Up L.A., Eclipses Black Friday Deals
Maybe you’re a product of the “everyone gets a trophy” generation, but that’s not how we roll at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Even among a competitive set of freshly revealed vehicles, only one can emerge victorious in the eyes of Cars.com editorial judges. The all-new, all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 6 not only grabbed the coveted “Best in Show” trophy in L.A., but it also tops the list of 10 biggest news stories this week.

The battery-powered sedan beat out lesser breeds like the redesigned Toyota Prius and Subaru Impreza with its statement-making exterior, roomy cabin and promise of a longer range than its Ioniq 5 stablemate.
“What impresses me most about the Ioniq 6 is that it is unabashedly a car,” noted Senior Research Editor Damon Bell. “Its overtly streamlined shape really stands out in the sea of boxy trucks and wagon-shaped SUVs that dominate today’s new-vehicle landscape. It’s one of the sleekest, smoothest sedans I’ve seen in recent memory.”
Will the trophy holder join the Ioniq 5 on the list of cheapest EVs? Only time (and a pricing reveal from Hyundai) will tell. All you impatient folks can skip to story No. 3 below to see the most budget-friendly electric vehicles you can get your paws on right now.
