Sleek, distinctive and designed around electric power from the very beginning – the Hyundai IONIQ 6 takes a very different approach to the traditional family car.
Hyundai calls it an Electrified Streamliner, and it's easy to see why.
Its smooth, flowing shape isn't simply about appearance. Every curve has been carefully considered to help the IONIQ 6 move efficiently through the air, contributing to an exceptionally low drag coefficient of just 0.21.
Combine that aerodynamic efficiency with Hyundai's dedicated electric E-GMP platform and the result is an EV capable of travelling up to 338 miles on a full charge.
It's an electric car designed not just to turn heads – but to go the distance.
The IONIQ 6 uses a 77.4kWh high-voltage battery, providing plenty of flexibility for everyday journeys and longer-distance travel.
In rear-wheel-drive form, the IONIQ 6 can achieve up to 338 miles of WLTP combined electric range.
That makes it a realistic main car for drivers who regularly travel further afield rather than an EV suited only to commuting and shorter journeys.
As with every electric vehicle, real-world range varies according to factors including temperature, speed, driving style, passenger and luggage load and use of heating or air conditioning.
But with well over 300 miles available under official WLTP testing, the IONIQ 6 has been engineered with long-distance electric travel firmly in mind.
The IONIQ 6 gives you a choice of how you want that electric power delivered.
The single-motor rear-wheel-drive IONIQ 6 produces 229PS and prioritises efficiency and range.
It accelerates from 0-62mph in approximately 7.4 seconds, providing smooth and responsive performance for everyday driving.
Choose the dual-motor all-wheel-drive IONIQ 6 and performance increases considerably.
With a combined 325PS, the AWD model can accelerate from 0-62mph in approximately 5.1 seconds.
It also provides the additional reassurance and traction of power being delivered through all four wheels.
Whether you prioritise maximum range or stronger performance, there's an IONIQ 6 to suit.
One of the IONIQ 6's greatest strengths is hidden beneath its beautifully streamlined bodywork.
Hyundai's sophisticated 800V electrical architecture enables exceptionally fast DC charging when connected to a suitable ultra-fast charger.
Under optimal conditions, charging from 10% to 80% can take as little as around 18 minutes using a compatible 350kW charger.
That's particularly useful on longer journeys.
Rather than waiting for a full recharge, stop, plug in, have a coffee and add the energy needed for the next part of your journey.
The IONIQ 6 is also compatible with conventional 400V DC charging and AC charging, giving you plenty of flexibility.
For everyday EV ownership, home charging is likely to be the easiest option for many drivers.
The IONIQ 6 features an 11kW onboard AC charger, allowing it to recharge from a compatible home or destination charger.
Plug in when you arrive home and the car can recharge while it's parked.
For many owners, that means starting the following morning with plenty of range available without needing to visit a traditional filling station.
Few cars on the road look quite like the IONIQ 6.
Its curved silhouette was heavily influenced by aerodynamic streamliner designs, with a low nose and gently sweeping roofline flowing towards the rear spoiler.
Hyundai's distinctive Parametric Pixel lighting provides a visual connection with the wider IONIQ family, while flush door handles and carefully designed aerodynamic details help reduce drag.
With a drag coefficient as low as 0.21, the shape plays an important role in maximising electric efficiency.
Sometimes good design really does have a practical purpose.
The IONIQ 6's sleek exterior might suggest that interior space has been sacrificed.
Far from it.
Because it's built on Hyundai's dedicated E-GMP electric platform, the IONIQ 6 has a long wheelbase and flat floor, allowing the available space to be used particularly efficiently.
Rear passengers benefit from generous legroom, while the open cabin design creates a comfortable and relaxing environment.
There's a 401-litre rear boot, plus additional storage beneath the bonnet of up to 45 litres, depending on drivetrain.
The rear seats also split and fold when you need additional flexibility.
Hyundai describes the IONIQ 6 interior as a personal living space, and that's reflected in its uncluttered design.
Dual 12.3-inch displays provide access to driving information, navigation and infotainment, while ambient lighting helps create a relaxed atmosphere.
Depending on specification, technology includes:
It's advanced technology presented in a cabin designed around comfort rather than clutter.
Higher specification IONIQ 6 models offer Relaxation Seats in the front.
At the touch of a button, the seat can recline into a more relaxed position – particularly useful when you've stopped to charge during a longer journey.
Instead of simply sitting and waiting for the battery, you can actually use charging time as an opportunity to relax.
It's a small detail that demonstrates how Hyundai has thought about the experience of living with an electric car.
The IONIQ 6 can do more than simply store electricity for driving.
With Vehicle-to-Load technology – V2L, energy from the high-voltage battery can be used to power or charge external electrical equipment.
That could include laptops, electric bikes, camping equipment or other compatible devices.
It effectively turns the IONIQ 6 into a large mobile power source – another advantage of Hyundai's dedicated electric vehicle technology.
The current IONIQ 6 range is refreshingly straightforward, with two main specifications.
Premium provides a comprehensive level of equipment as standard.
Highlights include:
Despite being the starting point in the range, Premium provides an impressive selection of technology and driver assistance.
Ultimate builds on Premium with additional luxury and technology.
Highlights include:
For drivers who regularly cover longer distances, the additional comfort features of Ultimate make it a particularly appealing choice.
They share Hyundai's dedicated electric platform and much of the same advanced EV technology, but the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 have very different personalities.
The IONIQ 5 prioritises versatility, with its large hatchback/crossover body providing excellent passenger and luggage flexibility.
The IONIQ 6 takes a sleeker approach.
Its aerodynamic saloon body has been designed around efficiency and long-distance comfort, making it particularly appealing to drivers who don't need the taller body or larger hatchback opening of an SUV-style vehicle.
Both offer sophisticated 800V charging technology.
The choice largely comes down to whether you value the IONIQ 5's versatility or the IONIQ 6's sleek, streamlined character.
The IONIQ 6 is particularly convincing if you're worried that switching to electric means giving up long-distance travel.
With up to 338 miles of WLTP range and ultra-fast 800V charging technology, it has been designed specifically to make longer journeys easier.
Its spacious interior and comfortable driving characteristics also make it particularly well suited to motorway travel.
And if you can charge at home, everyday journeys become even simpler – plug in overnight and start the following day ready to go.
The IONIQ 6 offers an extensive suite of Hyundai SmartSense safety and driver-assistance systems.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems are designed to provide additional support whether you're navigating busy urban traffic or covering longer motorway journeys.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.
The high-voltage lithium-ion battery is also covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
That provides additional long-term reassurance when making the move to electric driving.
Sleek, sophisticated and exceptionally efficient, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 offers a refreshing alternative to the increasingly crowded world of electric SUVs.
With a 77.4kWh battery, up to 338 miles of WLTP range and 800V ultra-fast charging, it's particularly well suited to drivers who regularly travel longer distances.
Choose rear-wheel drive for maximum efficiency or the 325PS all-wheel-drive model for stronger performance and additional traction.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
