2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 Trims Comparison

2023 IONIQ 6 trim level differences

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is an all-electric sedan that is offered in four trim levels: SE Standard Range, SE, SEL and Limited. Keep reading for our editors' breakdown of the power and features that each trim level gets.

The SE Standard Range model comes with a 53-kWh battery pack that powers a single electric motor (149 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) that drives the rear wheels. The EPA estimates its range to be 240 miles.

All other Ioniq 6 models upgrade to a 77.4-kWh battery. The SE trim receives a more powerful motor (225 hp, 258 lb-ft) and range increases to 361 miles, which is the longest in the lineup. All-wheel drive is an option and adds a second motor to drive the front wheels, increasing combined power output (320 hp, 446 lb-ft). Range drops to 316 miles.

SEL and Limited trims have the same power output as the SE, but range decreases to 305 miles for the rear-wheel-drive model and 270 miles for the dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions.
