Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Individual looks	Ride is decidedly firm
Pleasant to drive	Some disappointing pieces of interior trim
Stuffed with equipment and technology	Wing mirror cameras are a bit pointless

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a battery electric vehicle that competes with premium four-door electric executive cars such as the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4. Inspired by 1930s aeroplanes, this sleek 'streamliner' achieves impressive aerodynamics of 0.21cD, contributing to an official WLTP range of up to 338 miles in rear-wheel drive form. The dual-motor all-wheel drive variant delivers 321bhp and accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.1 seconds, though its range drops to 322 miles. Built on the same E-GMP platform as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 offers one of the roomiest cabins in its class with a 2.95-metre wheelbase and exceptional passenger space, alongside cutting-edge technology including an 800V charging system and vehicle-to-load charging as standard.

The Ioniq 6 is a genuinely pleasant car to drive, with seamless power delivery and responsive handling that feels more balanced than the Tesla Model 3, though the BMW i4 remains the more entertaining driver's car. A firm ride over poor road surfaces is the main compromise, and some interior trim feels less premium than rivals, particularly in entry-level Premium trim. However, the Ioniq 6 is exceptionally efficient, returning around 3.8 miles per kWh in real-world driving, making it one of the cheapest electric cars to charge. With an 800V charging system enabling a 10-80% rapid charge in approximately 18 minutes, comprehensive standard equipment, and excellent value for money, the Ioniq 6 represents a genuinely desirable and well-rounded electric executive.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive, technologically advanced electric executive with excellent efficiency, impressive range, and strong value for money; those prioritising practicality and interior space.

Not ideal for: Drivers who prioritise ride comfort above all else, those seeking the most engaging driving dynamics (BMW i4), or buyers wanting the widest charging network (Tesla Supercharger access).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ioniq 6 if: You seek a distinctive, technologically advanced electric executive with excellent efficiency, impressive range, and strong value for money; those prioritising practicality and interior space.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise ride comfort above all else, seek the most engaging driving dynamics (BMW i4), or require the widest charging network (Tesla Supercharger access).

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a genuinely appealing electric executive that blends cutting-edge technology, futuristic styling with retro-inspired details, and impressive efficiency. Whilst the Tesla Model 3 offers better value and the BMW i4 delivers superior driving dynamics, the Ioniq 6 stands out for its distinctive design, spacious interior, and comprehensive standard equipment. Its firm ride and some interior trim shortcomings in entry-level trim are minor compromises in an otherwise excellent package. For buyers seeking a well-rounded, technologically advanced, and efficient electric executive that doesn't compromise on practicality or style, the Ioniq 6 is a highly desirable choice.
