The Ioniq 6 takes the Ioniq 5's winning formula and shrinks it down while improving drivability and allowing for some real fun from behind the wheel. This four-door looks like nothing else on the road and that styling is also functional, making the Ioniq 6 aerodynamic and efficient as it bested its EPA-estimated range by over 10% in our testing.

What's new

No changes for 2024
Part of the first Ioniq 6 generation introduced for 2023

Overview

For years, industry insiders have been saying the sedan is dead as crossovers became the dominant automotive life form. Hyundai would beg to differ, adapting the electric foundation of its acclaimed Ioniq 5 — yes, a crossover — into a sleek sedan body that wrings even more range from the same battery pack and electric motors. On the Edmunds EV Range Test, a dual-motor Ioniq 6 went an impressive 303 miles on a single charge, beating its EPA estimate of 270 miles. Also, a single-motor Ioniq 6 with the bigger battery has an EPA-estimated range of 361 miles, and we would assume that it'd have a similar increase on our real-world range test.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: Speedy charging speeds

DC fast chargers, the fire hoses of the charging world, provide an output flow of between 50 to 350 kilowatts. Not all EVs can take advantage of the most powerful chargers but the Ioniq 6 can. Hyundai says you can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% capacity in a very quick 18 minutes at an appropriate fast-charging station (under ideal conditions). We independently verified the Ioniq 6's fast-charging performance as well. Based on our test results, this EV is one of the quickest-charging EVs you can buy. The quicker an EV can charge, the quicker you can get back on the road. Check out Edmunds' EV Range Test and EV Charging Test pages for all of our EV test results.

Competitors to consider

The Ioniq 6 is the rare electric sedan from a mainstream brand — and if you really want to get technical and separate sedans with trunks from electric cars with hatchbacks, it's rarer still. It might be surprising to see a Hyundai mentioned alongside the BMW i4 and Tesla Model 3, but what's truly shocking is how well it stacks up against them. Read our Expert Rating below to find out what makes the Ioniq 6 stand out.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the IONIQ 6 drive? The Ioniq 6 provides a wonderful overall drive experience. On our test track, a dual-motor all-wheel-drive Limited model sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. That's a bit slower than a comparable Tesla Model 3 but still plenty quick. Acceleration is smooth and progressive. We also like how the Ioniq 6 is impressively grippy and stable going around turns. You'll have a lot of fun driving it on a twisty road.

The Ioniq 6 is also very stable under hard braking and has a nicely managed transition between its regenerative and physical brakes. It's easy to slow down smoothly whether coasting to a stop or using the brake pedal.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the IONIQ 6? Fantastic ride quality makes for a comfortable ride for all passengers. The suspension is pliant enough to glide over road imperfections and rough pavement but never feels floaty or disconnected from the car — it's the best of both worlds. This also helps the cabin to stay very quiet. At highway speeds there's a bit of wind noise, but other than that things stay rather serene.

We're less enthusiastic about the front seats. They're adequately comfortable but some drivers might wish for additional lumbar and thigh support. In back, the floor is a little high so adults might find the back of their legs coming off the cushions a bit. And the middle seat is probably not best used for longer than an hour or two, or you'll get some complaints.

We found the Ioniq 6 can heat or cool its cabin pretty quickly. Having optional ventilated front seats is nice, too. The controls for the heated and ventilated seats are in the touchscreen. As such, operating them can be a bit distracting compared to using physical buttons.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? Hyundai has slimmed out the Ioniq 6's doors in the front and all of the controls that you'd traditionally find there (windows, locks, mirror adjustments) have been moved to other places. The placement takes some getting used to, but we think most owners will get it down in a few weeks.

The Ioniq 6's sharply sloping roofline means you have to lean down a bit to enter the back seat, but the door openings are wide so it's still pretty easy to get in unless you're very tall. Legroom is fantastic even for those well into the 6-foot range, but those same passengers will find the rear headroom to be pretty tight. The bridge-like center console between the front seats is pretty thick and takes up some of the knee room for the driver. Limited rear visibility because of the small rear window and thick roof pillars is another minor issue.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? Hyundai's multimedia system is enjoyable to use. Nothing feels more than a couple presses of the screen away, and the menu structure is intuitive. But there are a few things about the system that are a bit annoying, starting with a lack of wireless smartphone connectivity. Yes, there is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay but you'll have to plug in to get them. Also, you'll have to do so using a USB-A port so you lose out on the quicker charging from the USB-C ports spread throughout the cabin.

It's also hard to use the native navigation system to find a suitable charging station along a route. Searching for stations pulls them up in a list format sorted by distance, but you can't tell which station is closest along your route — only which one is closest to you. It's better to use your phone to find a charging station via Google Maps or a third-party app. But the other problem is that the battery's preconditioning, which readies the battery for faster charging, is tied to inputting a charging station into the native navigation. You can't do it manually. This poor user experience needs improvement.

Fortunately, the Ioniq 6's safety features work much more seamlessly. It comes with Highway Driving Assist 2 on the top two trim levels, which allows for automatic lane changes while on the highway and works down to a stop. The system does a good job of keeping the car centered in the lane and slowing down and accelerating smoothly.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Based only on the spec sheet, the Ioniq 6 should be in trouble here with only 11.2 cubic feet of room in its trunk. For comparison, a Honda Civic has 14.8 cubic feet and the Tesla Model 3 has 19.8 cubes of trunk space. But when we performed a luggage test, both the Ioniq 6 and Model 3 fit about the same amount. There is no underfloor storage like you'll get in the Tesla and the trunk isn't very wide, though it is deep.

Inside, there is a large storage bin between the front seats that's big enough to fit a small bag or purse and plenty of small nooks on the doors and up by the wireless charging pad to fit smaller items. For car seats, the Ioniq 6's plentiful rear legroom makes it easy to maneuver in the space and get a seat oriented properly, but the LATCH anchors can be tough to access.

Range and Efficiency

9.0/10

How are the range and efficiency? We tested a dual-motor Ioniq 6 in the Limited trim. The EPA estimates this version can go 270 miles on a full charge. On the Edmunds EV Range Test, the Ioniq 6 exceeded that estimate, covering 303 miles.

This does put the Ioniq 6 behind the Model 3 Long Range, which covered 341 miles in our latest range test for that model, but it's still an impressive showing for the Hyundai. Also, a single-motor Ioniq 6 with the bigger battery has an EPA-estimated range of 361 miles, and we would assume that it'd have a similar increase on our real-world range test. Part of the Ioniq 6's long range comes from its efficient use of electricity. In our testing, it used 27.5 kWh per 100 miles of driving, coming in below the estimated 33 kWh/100 miles.

When you're putting energy back in instead of using it, the Ioniq 6 is compatible with the most powerful 350-kW DC fast-charging stations. Hyundai says this allows you to charge from 10% to 80% battery in just 18 minutes (in ideal conditions, of course). We've also verified Hyundai's claims. Based on our efficiency results, the Ioniq 6 is one of the quickest-charging EVs you can buy.

Value

8.5/10

Is the IONIQ 6 a good value? There's good value here even though the Ioniq 6's price tag does feel high. It's priced at the same level as the Ioniq 5, but you get a lot less utility out of the sedan body than the SUV. But the build quality of the cabin is on the higher end for a non-luxury vehicle, and the materials feel nice to the touch, though there's a lot of plastic especially on the doors. Hyundai also offers the same robust warranty on its EVs as it does its gas vehicles: 10 years/100,000 miles for the battery and powertrain, five years/60,000 miles of basic coverage, and three years/36,000 miles of free maintenance.

The Ioniq 6 also offers two free years of 30-minute charging sessions at Electrify America fast-charging stations, so you can fill up for free while on the go.

Wildcard

8.5/10

The Ioniq 6 has a funky, head-turning style that will be polarizing. But what can't be denied is how fun it is from behind the wheel. Acceleration, handling, braking, ride quality and sportiness from the powertrain are all finely tuned. Its low center of gravity gives the sedan exceptional balance. Sometimes sedans just wanna have fun.

Which IONIQ 6 does Edmunds recommend?

If you can spare some range, the SEL opens up additional color choices and includes Hyundai's Highway Driving Assist II as standard equipment. If your EV isn't capable of hands-free highway driving, are you really even driving the future?

Hyundai IONIQ 6 models

Hyundai offers the 2024 Ioniq 6 in four trim levels: SE Standard Range, SE, SEL and Limited. The SE Standard Range is the value leader, with a 53-kWh battery pack and a single motor (149 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) driving the rear wheels. The EPA estimates its range at 240 miles. The rest of the lineup has a 77.4-kWh battery pack and more powerful motors. Keep reading for our full rundown of the Ioniq 6's range and features.

The SE, SEL and Limited come with standard rear-wheel drive and 225 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The SEL and Limited can opt for a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, with 320 hp and 446 lb-ft. The SE in rear-wheel-drive form boasts the highest range, with an EPA-estimated 361 in rear-wheel-drive form or 316 miles with all-wheel drive.

Larger wheels and higher weight due to more features take their toll on the SEL and Limited. With the same battery pack and motors, their range drops to 305 miles with rear-wheel drive or 270 miles with all-wheel drive.

2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 First Impressions

byCameron Rogers

•7/13/2022

What is the Ioniq 6?

Hyundai made a splash this year with the retro-inspired Ioniq 5, the automaker's first vehicle designed to be an electric vehicle from its inception. We're huge fans of the Ioniq 5 — it currently sits at the top of our rankings of the best luxury electric SUVs. Even though the Ioniq 5 is pretty new, its overall excellence made us wonder what's next for the burgeoning Ioniq sub-brand.

Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer. Hyundai just unveiled its next electric vehicle, aptly named the Hyundai Ioniq 6, and it's due early next year. The Ioniq 6 is an ultrasleek sedan built on the same Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) that underpins the Ioniq 5. It also uses some of the same design elements that give the Ioniq 5 its unique looks — namely the pixelated headlight and taillight clusters — before really going off in its own direction.

There's really no getting around the fact that the Ioniq 6 looks strange. Its exterior is an amalgamation of styling cues from other cars. The front end looks like a Polestar 2 with a slim grille and first-generation Ford Focus headlights. The profile and pinched rear evoke the Mercedes CLA and CLS, and Infiniti J30, with a Prius-like mid-window spoiler thrown in for good measure.

It's not terribly cohesive, but we suppose some sacrifices had to be made to achieve the Ioniq 6's ultra-low 0.21 drag coefficient. For reference, that would make the Ioniq 6 only slightly bulkier than the world's most aerodynamic production car, the Mercedes-Benz EQS.

What's under the Ioniq 6's hood?

The Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 share a platform, so it's no surprise that the two also draw from the same set of powertrains. Like its smaller SUV stablemate, the Ioniq 6 comes standard with a short-range battery pack and rear-wheel drive — though it does have a smaller capacity of 53 kWh compared to the Ioniq 5's 58-kWh pack. Hyundai hasn't released power output specs, but we surmise that they'll hew closely to the Ioniq 5's 168 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

This new EV should feel more alive when you opt for the 77.4-kWh pack. Not only does it have more range than the base model, but we expect — based on the Ioniq 5 lineup — that it will replace the rear motor with a 225-horsepower unit as well. Selecting all-wheel drive adds another motor up front, with a combined 320 hp and 446 lb-ft of torque from both sources. Hyundai says this top-spec model can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, but we think it will be even quicker than that, based on our 4.7-second run in an AWD Ioniq 5.

How about range and charging?

We're not sure what the Ioniq 6's range is just yet, but the vehicle's more aerodynamic shape should translate to improved range compared to the Ioniq 5. Hyundai says the long-range battery/RWD combo is good for roughly 380 miles per the more generous European WLTP standard — that's 65 miles better than the Ioniq 5's best WLTP range number. For reference, the Ioniq 5's EPA-estimated range is 220 miles with the standard pack, 303 miles with rear-wheel drive and the long-range battery, and 256 miles with the AWD powertrain.

As you'd expect, the slipperier Ioniq 6 is said to be more energy-efficient, too — Hyundai's estimate of about 22.5 kWh/100 miles would put the most efficient Ioniq 6 variant (smaller battery, RWD, 18-inch wheels) near the top of the charts among current EVs.

As with its crossover counterpart, the Ioniq 6 sedan's 800-volt architecture allows it to use the speediest DC fast-charging equipment on the market. When plugged into one of the growing number of 350-kW ultrafast chargers, the Ioniq 6 can recharge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes — just enough time to grab coffee from Starbucks at rush hour. A vehicle-to-load function (or V2L) means that you can power external devices while camping or working away from home.

How's the Ioniq 6's interior?

The Ioniq 6's cabin is more muted than the bodywork. In fact, it's not too dissimilar to the Ioniq 5's interior. The steering wheel looks essentially the same, as do the dual 12-inch digital instrument panel and central touchscreen that share a single housing. However, the air vents in the middle and in front of the passenger now lie on a single plane, in contrast to the bulging center area on the Ioniq 5.

A key change in the Ioniq 6 comes in the form of less rear headroom, an unavoidable consequence of its tapering roofline relative to the squared-off Ioniq 5. Our 6-foot-1 man on the ground in Korea reported that his head was smooshed into the rear headliner when he sat up straight, although a 6-foot-2 colleague from another publication sat next to him without issue. On the bright side, the quality of materials seemed impressive in both rows, thanks to an interesting variety of textures and soft-touch surfaces.

While Hyundai hasn't released a full set of Ioniq 6 features, in general the Ioniq 6 should offer everything that the Ioniq 5 does, plus a few extras. Indeed, we've already seen the Ioniq 6's new ambient lighting strips that give the interior an elegant look. You can choose between 64 colors, and the system offers a dual-color split so you can tailor the cabin environment to your liking. There's even a Speed Sync Lighting mode that increases the brightness of the ambient lighting as you dig into the accelerator. You can also look forward to synthetic sound profiles that provide auditory feedback as you accelerate — just in case you find the full EV experience a little too silent.

The advanced driving aids available on the Ioniq 5 are available here as well. Expect to see gettable features like adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, front and rear cross-traffic alert with braking, and evasive steering assist when changing lanes.

Edmunds says

Push past the somewhat challenging design, and the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 looks to have the tools necessary to be a compelling Tesla rival.
