![]() Obviously, the Ioniq 6’s shape is far sleeker than that of the 5. But just looking at the car, it’s impossible to ignore the aerodynamics at play. ![]() Wheel size accounts for part of the Ioniq 6’s impressive range, as does the increased efficiency of a new generation of silicon-carbide chips. Regardless of the battery or drivetrain, the Ioniq 6 will still charge from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes using a 350-kW DC fast charger - peak charging for the long-range battery is about 235 kW. The AWD versions of the SEL ($52,315) and line-topping Limited ($57,215) get a still respectable 270 miles of range, 3 miles more than the Ioniq 5. Moving up to the rear-drive SEL ($48,815) and Limited ($53,715) results in a lower estimated 305 miles due to their 20-inch wheels, which is almost identical to the range of the Ioniq 5 (303 miles) with its 19-inch shoes. The SE trim, with its 18-inch wheels and $46,615 starting price, will go a bladder-bursting 361 miles on a single charge in RWD guise, while the $50,115 AWD version will do a still impressive 316 miles. Where it starts to get really interesting is in the estimated range figures. ![]() The dual-motor and therefore all-wheel-drive versions get a healthy 320 total horsepower and an impressive 446 pound-feet of torque. Regardless of trim, the RWD version’s single motor provides 225 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Moving up from there, everything else gets the longer-range battery with a capacity of 77.4 kWh. Its 53-kilowatt-hour battery is good for an EPA-estimated 240 miles on a full charge, with its single motor producing 149 horsepower - slightly less than the base Ioniq 5’s 168 horsepower - and 258 pound-feet of torque. The starting point for the 6 is $42,715 (including $1,115 in destination) for the SE trim with the standard range battery and rear-wheel drive. Pricing and configurations for the Ioniq 6 for the most part mirror those of the Ioniq 5. Are we really just choosing between body style and design? The Ioniq 6 is, after all, just a reskinned 5, right? And that’s probably enough reason to like it, despite its sedan form factor presumably offering less utility than its crossover-disguised-as-a-hatchback sibling.īut with little to distinguish the Ioniq 5 and 6 on paper at first glance, it’s almost unsettling to see how closely they align in price. On the other hand, your keen marketing BS detector might have you rejecting those convenient associations. If you’re particularly susceptible to the powers of suggestion, Hyundai would have you associate it with airplanes, and its “electric streamliner” description might push you further in that direction. What do you see when you look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6? Even if you know what’s under the skin, it doesn’t visually evoke just another iteration of the Ioniq 5, with which it shares the same Hyundai group E-GMP electric platform.
