The all-new Hyundai Ioniq 6 sedan is based on the same electric-car platform as the excellent Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV60—all three of which performed admirably in our testing. The Ioniq 6 takes those core mechanical bits and applies them to a sleek sedan rather than the elevated hatchback design of the other three. That the Ioniq 6’s swoopy design gives it an upscale feel should only broaden the appeal of Hyundai’s EVs.
The Ioniq 6 is available in three trim levels, all of which come standard with rear-wheel drive but have all-wheel-drive optional. Rear-wheel-drive versions with the Long Range battery have a 225-horsepower electric motor, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive models produce 320 hp. A base rear-drive model with the smaller Standard Range battery and a 149-hp motor is also available. The Ioniq 6 is EPA-rated for 240 to 361 miles of driving range, depending on the configuration (battery size, rear- vs. all-wheel drive, and wheel size).
