Later this year, the swoopy Hyundai Ioniq 6 ‘electric streamliner’ will be treated to a nip and tuck to keep it looking fresh.
At the front, the headlight clusters have been replaced by slim LED daytime running lights, with the headlights hidden in a separate unit at the top of the air intakes. There’s also a new silver-coated air dam bumper design that should improve the Ioniq 6’s already slippery aerodynamic shape.
The wheel design of the grey car in these pictures is all-new while, around the back, the 6’s distinctive double spoiler stack has been replaced with a longer, more elegant-looking ducktail spoiler.
Inside, there’s a redesigned steering wheel and more premium materials on the dashboard and door cards. Hyundai says the centre console layout is easier to use and that the climate controls are bigger – so you can more easily hit the right place on the screen to adjust the controls while you’re driving.
Just like the majority of Hyundai’s other models, the Ioniq 6 is now available in a sportier-looking N Line trim. This high-spec version gains exclusive wheels, badges and bumpers, plus a helping of black trim around the back. Given the racier, more aggressive focus of N Line models, it’s likely that the Ioniq 6 in this spec will get firmer suspension and quicker steering than the standard car.
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N confirmed
Following in the footsteps of the Ioniq 5 N, the first electric N model and a genuinely entertaining hot hatch, the Ioniq 6 will also gain a range-topping performance model.
You can see the back of the Ioniq 6 N just peeking out between the grey and red cars in the image above, and it’s clear that it’ll get a large free-standing spoiler and new rear-end detailing to stand out.
The Ioniq 6 N will be heavily based on the RN22e concept (pictured), although toned down slightly to make it more suitable for use on the road. Officially a ‘rolling lab’ that tests tech for future models, the RN22e has a drift mode, ‘racetrack-enhanced cooling’, upgraded brakes with four-piston calipers and 400mm discs, and electronic torque vectoring that precisely shuffles power to each wheel as needed.
Much of this is likely to trickle down to the production car, alongside the same powertrain setup as the absurd Ioniq 5 N. There, the two motors produce 650hp and enable a 0-62mph time of 3.4 seconds (both figures are for when you use the ‘N Grin Boost’ launch control).
Hyundai has confirmed that the Ioniq 6 N will be launched in July, with UK sales likely to commence before the end of 2025.
