Hyundai Ioniq 6 2025

Hyundai reports very minor changes from the 2024 to 2025 model years. Our review of the 2024 model is below:

At 2950 mm, the wheelbase splits the difference between the 3000 mm (118 inch) wheelbase of the Ioniq 5 and the 2900 mm (118 inch) wheelbase of the Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60. Preliminary information notes all trims will be powered by a 77.4 kW battery pack with will send power to either the rear wheels or optionally to all wheels via a dual motor system. The rear-mounted motor on the base car churns out 225 horsepower drives the rear wheels. All-wheel drive, delivered by a 165 kW rear motor and a 74 kW front-mounted motor, which combined crank out a combined 320 horsepower. Proposed range for rear-wheel drive is 581 kilometres with 509 kilometres possible with the dual-motor, all-wheel drive system. The car can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 73 minutes using a 50 kW level 3 charger. While the design of the Ioniq 6 is dramatic and attractive, its shape which is more than an homage to the Porsche 911 in sedan form, is hardly original. Regardless of originality, the Ioniq, with a coefficient of drag of .22, is very slippery. Inside, the driver faces a very similar computer tablet with a vehicle screen in front of the driver with an infotainment section over the centre of the dash. Climate controls and the overall rectangular shape of the dashboard are very similar to those of the Ioniq 5. Conventional interior handles adorn each door but the door pulls are cleverly recessed, but still get the job done. The vertical surfaces of the upper door trims bear a subtle horizontal ribbed motif, with linen-patterned plastic areas on much of the rest of the door. Low-contrast, two-tone cabin hues complete the visually clean interior. Headroom is tight, especially in the rear, and while rear seat legroom is good, the very low-mounted front seats prevent rear seat riders getting their feet under the front seats, reducing real-world, accessible legroom.

Driven in dual-motor form, the Ioniq 6, power is abundant and acceleration is both swift and silent. Steering is nicely weighted and direct and the ride-handling compromise is well-judged for a luxury touring car. Brake pedal feel is good, despite the use of regenerative braking. The Ioniq 6 feels very solid and is very quiet.

Moving from the rear-wheel drive 225 horsepower powertrain to the 320 horsepower, dual motor,  Long Range model costs $3300 regardless of trim.rnrnThe base Preferred trim is nicely equipped. The Ultimate trim adds bigger wheels and tires, a panoramic sunroof, rain-sense wipers, a Bose-branded audio system, a power passenger seat, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a head-up display system and a vehicle-to-load system that allows the car to become a power source, is very good value.

New car, not rated. Predicted reliability is below average.
