The IONIQ 6 is Hyundai's electric sedan sibling to the IONIQ 5. Same E-GMP platform, same 800-volt architecture, same dual-motor option, but with a streamliner body that targets a 0.21 drag coefficient and pays back the styling commitment with class-leading highway efficiency.
What you are buying
A 77.4 kWh battery in the Long Range trims, single-motor RWD or dual-motor AWD options, and a WLTP range of up to 614 km in the most efficient configuration. Charging tops out at around 350 kW DC. Inside, the IONIQ 6 uses the same E-GMP cabin layout as the IONIQ 5 with some sedan-specific tweaks to ergonomics and seating.
Cartell Assessment
The IONIQ 6 is the EV sedan that the Tesla Model 3 has been waiting to compete with. It is more efficient, more comfortable on the highway, and the cabin materials are a step above the price-equivalent Tesla. The compromise is the styling: it is genuinely divisive, and the sloping roofline does eat into back-seat headroom.
AU Outlook
IONIQ 6 Long Range AWD pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$80k drive-away range. The Standard Range RWD is in the low-$70k bracket. Cross-shop is the Tesla Model 3, the Polestar 2, and the BMW i4 eDrive40.
