Hyundai's new streamlined saloon, the IONIQ 6

09 December 2022

Equipped with new advanced technologies, we dig into the pricing and specification for the new IONIQ 6 range from Hyundai.

Hyundai IONIQ 6 prices will start from £46,745, with Rear Wheel Drive and All Wheel Drive variants available, as well as Premium and Ultimate trim levels.

The IONIQ 6 is designed to be as aerodynamic and therefore as efficient as possible. It has an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.21, assisted by its low frontal area, active air flaps at the front, and wheel gap reducers.

Such features help to deliver a driving range of up to 338 miles for the rear-wheel drive model, or 322 miles for the all-wheel drive model, from the standard long range 77kWh battery.

Digital side mirrors are an option that aim to ensure the IONIQ 6 is even more efficient; these are available for £995 with the Ultimate trim.

The IONIQ 6’s rear-wheel drive powertrain delivers 228PS of power and 350Nm of torque, or 325PS and 605Nm with the all-wheel drive powertrain. Both powertrains offer a braked towing capacity of 1,500kg.

Thanks to its 800v charging system, the IONIQ 6 can ultra-rapid charge at up to 233 kW, and it has a standard battery heating system to optimise charge times.

The IONIQ 6 features Vehicle 2 Load (V2L). This means that it can power electrical appliances such as laptops from a 3-pin plug socket inside the car, or items such as camping equipment – or another EV – from the external charging port. To do the latter, a V2L adapter is needed, which is available from Hyundai retailers for £375.

The IONIQ 6 will be Hyundai’s first model to offer an Over-the-Air (OTA) software update feature for various vehicle systems.

Prices for all Hyundai IONIQ 6 models are:

IONIQ 6 Premium Rear Wheel Drive 228PS £46,745
IONIQ 6 Premium All Wheel Drive 325PS £50,245
IONIQ 6 Ultimate Rear Wheel Drive 228PS £50,245
IONIQ 6 Ultimate All Wheel Drive 325PS £53,745

Standard equipment highlights include heated rear seats on all trim variants, and a sunroof and driver’s head-up-display on the Ultimate trim level.

The IONIQ 6 Ultimate also features LED steering wheel lights that provide vehicle to driver interactions when carrying out a number of different functions such as voice recognition, reverse gear selection, EV charging status and vehicle welcome and goodbye.

Further functions on the Ultimate include Active Sound Design (e-ASD), a technology that gives IONIQ 6 a unique sound under acceleration.

We're really excited about the promise of the Hyundai IONIQ 6, combining cutting edge electric car technology with super-slippery aerodynamics will make this car one of the most efficient on the market.
