New Hyundai IONIQ 6 Review

When choosing among the new Ioniq 6 powertrains, you will be looking at how much power they have, how much electric range they have, and what kind of fuel efficiency they can promise. There isn’t a dud in the bunch.

The longest driving range belongs to the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE with rear-wheel drive. It can go 342 miles and earns the top fuel efficiency combined rating of 149 mpg-e. With the bigger battery, the single electric motor set-up produces an ample 225 horsepower and 258 lb ft of electric, instantaneous torque.

The second longest driving range belongs to the all-wheel drive edition of the same trim. It can achieve 316 miles of electric range and promises 121 mpge in combined driving efficiency. The powertrain has two electric motors and is able to claim 320 horsepower and a whopping 446 lb-ft of torque.

If you stick with the 225-horsepower RWD SEL, it promises an ample 305 miles of electric range. Fuel efficiency is rated at an excellent 117 mpge combined. On the other hand, if you go for the 320-horsepower AWD SEL, the range is still good at 270 miles and fuel efficiency is still terrific at 103 mpge.

All of these Hyundai EVs have a 350-kilowatt system and an 800-volt electric architecture. This makes every new Ioniq 6 able to use an ultra fast charging station.

It can restore power from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes at a fast charging station. At home, it can do this in under 7 hours with a 240-volt charger. This battery charging speed turns these affordable EVs into competitors with many luxury EVs.

Hyundai helps you keep costs down in three ways. First, BlueLink helps you charge during off-peak hours at lower rates. Second, you get complimentary charging at roadside charging stations for a long period of time. Third, the Hyundai warranties continue to provide the best overall coverage in automotives today.

If you want a good EV but are eager to keep your costs under control, it helps to get pre approved for a competitive loan or lease from our Earnhardt dealership.

When introduced, the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 swept up the World Car of the Year Award and the World Car Design of the Year. Indeed, it has a handsome design inside and out.

Using a sedan style, the Ioniq 6 offers a real trunk rather than a cargo hold. It defies the midsize sedan class by offering a truly large cabin. Passenger space is ample at 103 cubic feet. Smart design aspects include its domed ceiling and its completely flat floor.

The cabin offers power-adjustable front seats with available power-ventilation. Upscale upholstery and ambient lighting lend luxury to the cabin. A clever Hyundai Digital Key lets owners interact with their EV without a physical key needed.

There’s much more to explore about the new Ioniq 6. You can get more details from this extended review.

What’s a futuristic ride without an ultra-modern cockpit? The new Hyundai Ioniq 6 doesn’t have analog gauges. Instead it has a digital instrument panel that a driver can configure as needed for their driving style.

To the right of that large screen, there’s a second, equally large touchscreen for 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 drivers. This touch display is known for fast processing and simplified voice interactions. Each of these screens measure a generous 12.3 inches across.

Watching for trouble ahead, the Ioniq 6 has forward collision detection with alerts for pedestrians and cyclists. This system may trigger an emergency autobrake.

Alert to the traffic alongside the vehicle, there’s a blind spot monitor to promote safe lane changes and a lane departure assist to prevent the EV from wandering into neighboring lanes.
