Hyundai IONIQ 6 Limited Sedan Exterior Shown

The 2023 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.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

6/21/2023

Hyundai made a big splash last year when it introduced the Ioniq 5, a compact all-electric SUV with retro-cool style. Just a year later, Hyundai is following up with the Ioniq 6. It has much of the same EV hardware and features as the Ioniq 5 but takes the form of a sleek-looking sedan.

Its striking design tends to split opinions — most people either love it or hate it. One thing everyone can agree on is its impressive aerodynamics that make it one of the most efficient in the world, and that is what dictates the unusual double-arch form. It results in an impressive maximum EPA-estimated range of 361 miles, which is beautiful in its own right. We've also found the Ioniq 6 capable of exceeding its EPA estimates in our real-world driving tests.

As good as the Ioniq 6 is, it's not perfect, but the few complaints we have should be forgivable for most shoppers. We go over where it leads and where it could use some improvement in our Expert Rating below. We think you'll agree that it's an objectively excellent choice among other EV sedans that include the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4 and Polestar 2.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brian Wong

Great

8.1

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

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.

Interior

7.5/10

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

8/10

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 beginning to annoy, 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

9/10

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 our Edmunds real-world 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). But with most public fast-charging stations top out at 150kW currently, this serves as a bit of future-proofing as speeds increase.

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.
