To the OP:

Is your GD the newest facelifted model? How much RPM do you see when you drive 100 km/h at 6th gear?

According to technical specs found at hyundai.fi , the facelift GD CRDi has significantly taller gear ratios compared to the earlier models.

          Non-facelift 5d    Non-facelift Wagon    Facelift 5d and Wagon
1st       3.636              3.636                 3.769
2nd       1.962              1.962                 2.040
3rd       1.189              1.189                 1.189
4th       0.844              0.844                 0.844
5th       0.702              0.702                 0.702
6th       0.596              0.596                 0.596
R         3.583              3.583                 3.583
Final     3.471              3.941                 3.250

2000 RPM  115,5 km/h         101,7 km/h            123,4 km/h
@ 6th
 
100 km/h  1731 rpm           1965 rpm              1621 rpm
@ 6th


However I can't say how much of this is correct. From elsewhere I have seen bit different values, so those gear ratios may also vary in different countries. I can at least confirm that my non-facelift GD Wagon does about 2000 rpm @6th @100 km/h, which suits me just fine.

I'm having hard time to believe if facelift model really has only 1600 rpm at 100 km/h!? IMO overly tall gear ratios is a great way to ruin the driving experience for the sake of few grams of CO2.  Those who are towing caravans would not be happy either.

Mine is the non-facelift model. The facelift models in this country are auto-only. Bah! Anyway...RPMs at 100km/h are round 2000. Attached photo is of my actual instrument cluster.
