I ordered and received a ModernSpare for my I6.
It does take up a fair amount of space in the trunk but there's still room on top of it to store things.
I'm possibly considering putting the hardware (jack, handle, etc.) in the frunk and only keeping the spare without the case in the trunk, assuming it's not too heavy for the frunk. I may also only put the spare in the car only when I need to make a longer drive although that leaves the chance that I would forget to take it and THEN get a flat.
The sales support guy from MS told me it should fit vertically, attached to the side in the trunk. He might have been mistaking the Ioniq 6 with the 5? It certainly doesn't fit standing up in the 6.
It's a pain to carry it around but not as much as risking getting a flat. It's a decision I've made a long time ago to keep getting spare tires for my cars. To think that my 2013 Toyota Camry could fit a FULL SIZE wheel under the floor in the trunk.

edit: although the entire tool kit weighs just under 10 lbs, it doesn't fit in the frunk as it is slightly too tall for the hood to close securely. Oh well, back to the trunk it goes

All the tools in my kit fit in the frunk (tire jack, lug wrenches, even fit my battery operated (small) air pump, and a new air pump from Modern Spare). Takes up quite a bit of the trunk but still room for groceries or a few overnight bags (we never go very far for very long so don't need much trunk space). That's what happens when you choose form (I love the looks) over function (if you need more space then get the Ionic 5 or EV6 and you'll have more space - can get similar performance with the right model choices).

I will admit I didn't take the tool kit apart, perhaps that would fit if not all stacked up in the little foam container.
Thanks, I will try that.

Now that Modern Spare provides a proper kit for the 6 it's easier (if a bit more expensive) to go that route than my DIY version - except for storage of the jack, handle and various bits. My original Hyundai spare came with the styrofoam insert with cutouts for all that, so it all fits inside the spare neat and tidy. It's a shame the MS solution doesn't do the same.

Though it seems to me worth trying to emulate it. Maybe wrap the bundle-o-bits in some packaging foam sheet, then bind them together with some velcro straps and lay them inside the wheel?

That's what MS did, I was expecting a full wheel insert but it's really a foam cradle holding all the tools together and held inside the wheel with a velcro strap.
