Overall Observations
Introduced in 2023, the Ioniq 6 shares many components and
features with the Ioniq 5 (see page 106), but it has a low-slung,
sleek profile instead of the 5's retro boxy look. We tested the top—level Limited trim, with dual motors and a 77.4-kWh battery, good
for 320 hp and 270 miles of range.
The Ioniq 6 has many compelling qualities to recommend it.
Its dual-motor drivetrain provides an abundance of power and
torque. The ride quality is very good overall, as is the 6's efficiency
(103 MPGe in combined city/highway driving). A 350-kW onboard
charger promises a recharge from 10% to 80% capacity in as little
as 18 minutes.
Interior standard features for all trims include dual-zone
automatic climate control with rear vents, heated front seats, a
12.3-inch infotainment screen, and a good-size, clear instrument
cluster. Few options are available—or needed.
A complete list of advanced safety features is standard on all
trim levels; higher trims have avoidance-assistance features, such
as cross-traffic side-collision mitigation, which warns of potential
side collisions and may apply the brakes.
Negatives are few and unlikely to be deal-breakers: The interior
uses some cheap-looking plastics, and the sloping roofline limits
rear headroom. Some controls are in unusual positions, and the
6's shifter is odd, located on a stalk that rotates the way many
headlight controls operate.
