The Ioniq 6 has an EPA-estimated driving range that spans 240 to 342 miles, depending on the trim line and tire size.
It offers a choice of a 53- or 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery.
Each version is offered with either rear- or all-wheel drive by virtue of dual motors.
Our AWD test car with 20-inch tires and the larger battery went 265 miles in our 70-mph highway-range test.
The Ioniq 6 is capable of rapid DC fast charging in public places.
The sedan's ride is firm yet comfortable, handling is agile, acceleration is smooth, and the cabin is quiet.
The front seats are comfortable and the driver has decent space, but the rear seat is tight on headroom.
The aerodynamic styling results in limited trunk space and a narrow opening.
Unfortunately, the window controls are inconveniently placed on the center console.
A 641-hp performance Ioniq 6 N is added in 2026.
