The Ioniq 6 sits just above the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the brand's lineup, but doesn't share that car's angular styling, instead opting for a much curvier look. It does, however, share the same excellent EV tech with all versions achieving more than 300 miles on a full charge, and zippy real-world performance.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 buying guide

What Hyundai Ioniq 6 trim levels are there?

The Ioniq 6 is positioned as a high-end model in Hyundai's lineup, so you're getting a well-stocked equipment list regardless of whether you pick the standard Premium model or the upgraded Ultimate version.

Premium trim includes 20-inch alloy wheels, semi-autonomous driving, a reversing camera, all-round parking sensors, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and starting, interior ambient lighting and wireless phone charging. You'll also find Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard in the infotainment system.

Stepping up to Ultimate trim adds leather upholstery, an opening sunroof, an upgraded Bose stereo, a head-up display, park assist, a 360º parking camera and ventilated front seats.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 interior and technology

The Ioniq 6's cabin is really impressive. A clean, simple design that retains just enough physical knobs and buttons to be intuitive at a glance. We like that Hyundai has included a dedicated panel of buttons for the climate controls, as well as a panel of shortcut buttons above these to jump between the most-used infotainment functions.

Like many modern cars, there are two large screens fitted into a sweeping pod on top of the dashboard – one behind the wheel for driver's info and one in the middle for infotainment functions.

Material and build quality is excellent, as is the amount of passenger space on offer. The Ioniq 6's dedicated EV platform means there's loads of space between the two axles in which you can fit a massive cabin, so there's plenty of room for tall adults even in the back. Like the Tesla Model 3, the Ioniq 6 has a saloon-style boot opening, which isn't quite as useful as a hatchback-style tailgate, but the 401-litre space should be enough for most buyers' day-to-day needs.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 range explained

All Ioniq 6 models use the same 77kWh battery pack. Your only choice is between a rear-wheel drive car with a single motor, or an all-wheel drive car with two motors.

As there's just one battery option, charging performance is the same for all models. A full 0-100% charge from a 7kW home wallbox can be achieved overnight. Using a 50kW public fast charger, you can jump from 10-80% in 73 minutes or, if you can find a full-fat 350kW charger, the same 10-80% charge will take just 18 minutes.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 77kWh RWD

The Ioniq 6 is most efficient when specced with its single-motor setup. Claimed range on a full charge is 338 miles. The single rear motor delivers a decent 228hp, giving a zippy 0-62mph time of 7.4 seconds and effortless surge all the way to fast motorway speeds.

Adding a second motor to the Ioniq 6's front axle brings a substantial jump in performance. This model now has a total of 325hp plus all-wheel drive for a hot-hatch-baiting 5.1-second 0-62mph time. Despite the extra power, claimed range only drops slightly to 322 miles.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 FAQs

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a fairly large car. Measuring nearly 4.9 metres long, it takes up more room on the road than cars like the Tesla Model 3 and BMW 3 Series, although it does reward you with a very spacious cabin.

Despite its reasonable size, parking shouldn't be a challenge. All models include a reversing camera and all-round parking sensors as standard, while top-spec Ultimate cars add a 360º parking camera and an automatic park assist feature.

The 401-litre boot isn't particularly outstanding in this class, but should be enough for most buyers' needs. Note that the saloon-style boot lid means access to the cargo area isn't as easy as a comparable SUV or hatchback.

Considering the entry-level rear-wheel-drive Ioniq 6 in Premium trim is already well-equipped and fast enough for most buyers, there's very little need to explore any further up the price list.

Drivers who want a little extra performance might want to upgrade to the all-wheel-drive model, which substantially improves acceleration times. However, if you'd rather more luxury rather than extra firepower, stepping up to Ultimate trim adds leather upholstery and posh features like ventilated seats.

In brief, the Ioniq 6 is a very safe car. It was tested by Euro NCAP in 2022 and achieved a full five-star rating, with 97% and 87% for adult and child occupant safety respectively. It scored a fairly middling 60% for pedestrian safety, but a decent 90% for its active safety assist systems.

All cars come with automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist, and are capable of level 2 semi-autonomous driving as long as the human driver is paying full attention.

Like many cars built on dedicated EV platforms, the Ioniq 6 benefits from not having a heavy combustion engine under the bonnet, which slightly improves protection in a front-end crash.
