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 rivals the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i4 in the four-door electric executive segment. Inspired by 1930s aeroplanes, it features a distinctive bullet-shaped profile with exceptional aerodynamics of 0.21cD. The rear-wheel drive model delivers 225bhp with an official WLTP range of up to 338 miles, whilst the dual-motor all-wheel drive variant offers 321bhp and 322 miles of range. Built on the same E-GMP platform as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 combines sleek styling with impressive efficiency and practicality.

The Ioniq 6 excels in technology and efficiency, featuring an 800V charging system capable of 10-80% rapid charging in around 18 minutes. Vehicle-to-load charging is standard across the range, allowing you to power external devices using the car's battery. With a long 2.95m wheelbase, it offers generous passenger space and some of the best equipment in its class, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, heated seats, and adaptive cruise control. Real-world efficiency of 3.8m/kWh translates to approximately 281 miles of range in mild conditions, making it one of the most economical electric cars to charge and run. However, the firm ride over poor surfaces and some cheap-feeling interior trim in entry-level models are notable drawbacks.

Best for: Buyers seeking a technologically advanced, efficient electric executive with distinctive styling, generous interior space, and excellent charging capabilities.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising ride comfort on rough roads, premium interior materials throughout, or access to extensive charging networks like Tesla Superchargers.
