In a recent blog, we reported on the Hyundai IONIQ 6 following in the IONIQ 5's footsteps to capture Hyundai's second-consecutive Car and Driver EV of the Year Award. In this installment, we'll go more in-depth into the features and attributes that make the Hyundai IONIQ 6 one of the most impressive, well-rounded electric vehicles currently on sale. Indianapolis-area shoppers can find the Hyundai IONIQ 6 for sale or lease at Hyundai of Noblesville.
Performance and Range
The IONIQ 6 offers similar powertrain options to its IONIQ 5 crossover sibling—including RWD and AWD layouts and a value-oriented standard range model. However, unique tuning and a sleek aerodynamic design combine to achieve even better range estimates. Power and range differ depending on your chosen trim level. Here's a quick overview:
- SE Standard Range: The IONIQ 6's entry-level trim uses a smaller 53-kWh battery to achieve a more accessible price tag. While it has less range and horsepower, it's still just as impressively equipped as the regular SE trim. The SE Standard Range powers the rear wheels with 149 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and has an EPA-estimated range of 240 miles.
- SE: The regular SE trim upgrades the battery capacity to 77.4-kWh. Single-motor RWD models (225 hp, 258 lb-ft) achieve an EPA range estimate (361 miles) to challenge many Teslas. Dual-motor all-wheel-drive models trade some range (EPA-est. 316 miles) for more performance (320 hp, 446 lb-ft).
- SEL, Limited: The IONIQ 6's top two trims have the same horsepower and torque numbers as the SE trim. However, due to larger wheels and heavier feature sets, their range drops to 305 miles for RWD and 270 miles for AWD.
Charging
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 was engineered for convenience. With home-installed Level 2 equipment (240V, 7kW), you can fully replenish the battery overnight in ~11 hours. For longer journeys, the IONIQ 6 is one of the few EVs currently available with 800V charging architecture. So, at a compatible 350-kW DC fast-charging station, the IONIQ 6 can add 68 miles of range in about five minutes, charging from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes. IONIQ 6 customers will receive a complimentary 250 kWh credit for 30-minute fast-charging sessions (within two years) on the Electrify America network.
Accommodations and Technology
The IONIQ 6's interior is a pleasing place to pass the miles. The cabin is attractive and inviting, with quality materials, modern styling, and ample passenger space. And the well-cushioned yet supportive seats complement the superbly smooth ride. Standard features include heated seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power driver's seat, proximity entry, and a split-folding second row for added practicality. Moving up the trim ladder, you can find amenities like H-Tex upholstery, driver-position memory, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
The IONIQ 6's high-tech character is highlighted by a fully digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch navigation touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. With Hyundai's available Blind-Spot View Monitor. And with the available innovative Remote Smart Parking Assist, you can advance and reverse the IONIQ 6 from outside the vehicle using the key fob. But no matter which configuration you use for your Indianapolis commute, you'll get standard Hyundai SmartSense driver aids like:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection
