Hyundai has released pricing and updated specifications for the IONIQ 6 battery-electric sedan, with the range picking up a healthier equipment list atop more affordable prices for the entry-level variant, now priced at $65,500 before on-roads.
The increasingly accessible price tag comes as Hyundai introduces a new standard range battery pack measuring 53kWh in capacity, while the extended range variant retains its 77.4kWh pack.
The entry-level IONIQ 6 standard range rear-wheel drive comes powered by a single electric motor producing 111kW of power and 350Nm of torque, with range figures of 429km on the WLTP test cycle.
Extended range members, rear-wheel drive members of the IONIQ 6 family offer the largest range figures of the bunch, standing at 614km on a set of 18-inch rims, which drops to 545km on the 20-inch alloys.
Power figures for the extended range, rear-wheel drive variants stand at 168kW of power and 350Nm of torque, rising up to 239kW/605Nm in dual motor variants, though range figures drop to 519km in the IONIQ 6 extended range AWD.
The standard range pack retains its 800V architecture and 350kW fast-charging capabilities that offer a 10 to 80 per cent charge in 18 minutes with access to the right charger.
Headlining the list of features for the IONIQ 6 range is an energy-efficient heat pump, joined by a battery heating and conditioning system as standard, while the mid-range Dynamiq variant picks up a set of 20-inch alloys as standard.
Hyundai says that in light of customer feedback, the digital side mirrors on range topping Epiq variants are now an optional extra, rather than a standard feature.
In terms of equipment, the entry-level IONIQ 6 retains its 18-inch alloys, LED head & tail lights, adaptive cruise control, 3D surround-view monitor, cloth upholstery with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.3-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto.
Stepping up to the IONIQ 6 Dynamiq adds the aforementioned 20-inch alloys wrapped in 245/40 Pirelli P Zero tyres, projector LED headlights, a head-up display, leather upholstery with power-adjustable, heated seats, alloy pedals and an upgraded eight-speaker BOSE sound system.
The range-topping IONIQ 6 Epiq range offers heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel, ventilated ‘relaxation’ seats, a panoramic sunroof and a memory driver’s seat.
“The revised and upgraded lineup for 2024 IONIQ 6 enhances the accessibility and value of our reigning World Car of the Year, while bringing our vision for clean mobility ever closer,” says Hyundai’s Chief, Ted Lee.
