The future has well and truly arrived for executives and family types alike; with all the latest technology Hyundai has to offer, those looking for the most a big battery electric car can offer should consider the Ioniq 6.
Whether you choose the rear wheel drive model or the dual motor all wheel drive version, the silent cabin is a spacious and serene place to be. The range it can cover is a stand-out feature, up to 339 or 323 miles from a single charge, depending on which set-up you choose, but this places it above its competition. Talking of which, alternatives are now abundant in this sector. You might want to consider a Kia EV6, Hyundai's own Ioniq 5, a Tesla Model 3, a Polestar 2 or a BMW i4.
Batteries & Powertrains
There are two battery choices for the super sleek Hyundai Ioniq 6 model, with the 77.4kWh version delivering a range of 384 miles. Alternatively, the smaller (although not launched in the UK yet) 58kWh battery offers 338 miles.
The larger battery has a rear-drive single motor producing 226 bhp and there’s also a twin motor with all-wheel drive delivering 320 bhp. The latter offers a 0 to 62 mph sprint time of 5.1 seconds. The smaller battery will do the sprint in 7.4 seconds.
Using an ultra-fast charger, the battery can be recharged to 80% of its capacity in just 18 minutes, but with an 11kW charger, this will take around eight hours.
For many people, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 range has a lot to live up to following in the footsteps of the excellent Ioniq 5, but the saloon is a slick and altogether different creation.
Handling
The Ioniq 6 offers a refined driving experience, and at speed it’s a responsive and agile car. The suspension set up along with that seriously low drag coefficient and acoustic glass keeps everything very quiet.
The car is a great performer on motorways and it’s a relaxing vehicle for long journeys - we would recommend the optional ‘relaxation comfort’ seats for a touch of motoring luxury.
The Ioniq 6 is slightly longer than the 5 stablemate and with four doors, access is easy. There’s plenty of legroom rear seat passengers. with it's incredibly economical shape, the Ioniq 6 delivers super low running costs. Acres of room inside for all the family, and a 400-litre boot means that that aero shape doesn't compromise the space.
The interior is sleek and spacious with aluminium-look buttons and there are two 12.0-inch displays for the digital instrument binnacle and infotainment system. The car also doesn’t use wing mirrors but has small screens in the dashboard corners which are easy and convenient to use.
Interior & Equipment
There are various driving modes; sport, normal and eco, with normal offering the best range of performance. This is an easy car to live with every day - though most drivers will struggle to work their way through the ambient lighting system that offers more than 4,000 colours.
Standard equipment includes a rearview camera, wireless phone charging, rear parking sensors and satnav-based smart cruise control. The Ioniq 6 also comes with a range of driver assistance systems, including driver attention alert, lane keep assist, highway drive assist and an intelligent speed limit system.
