Though in US, Hyundai Ioniq 6 landed back in 2023 but with 2025 model Hyundai Ioniq 6 is still all deserving of a write up & all the attention it is seeking (or not). But one thing is for sure this car is upping the ev sedan game.
IONIQ 6 has swept all three World Car of the Year categories which are :World Car of the Year, World Electric
Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year.
IONIQ 6 is the second IONIQ model to sweep World Car Awards following IONIQ 5’s triple wins in 2022.
However the sales figures are not as promising as were for the Ioniq 5, whose design & tech was as futuristic as it gets (and so does its fan following reflecting through the sales numbers).
This sedan starts from $37,850, drives in RWD or AWD depending on the trim, has an EPA estimated range of up to 342 miles and this all-electric sedan is seeking attention.
Body & Styling
Sharing its platform with the Ioniq 5 SUV, the Ioniq 6 carries the torch of excellence, with both models crowned as past winners of the coveted EV of the Year award. And this car has rated high in nearly all metrics.
Despite similarities in components, the Ioniq 6 charts its own path. While its fastback silhouette may limit cargo space and rear headroom, it offers a impressive performance, innovation, value & it drives on 20 inch wheels. Available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive setups, and is offering two battery options.
Hyundai Ioniq 6 Powertrain and Performance
The Ioniq 6 shares its electric platform with the Ioniq 5 but it has a unique driving character. The entry-level SE model generates 149 horsepower through a single rear-mounted motor.
Opting for a Long Range Battery, bumps the output to 225 horsepower, while dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions unleash 320 horsepower providing you a more dynamic drive.

The Ioniq 6 SE Long Range boasts an EPA-estimated 140 MPGe combined, placing it among the most efficient EVs in its class.
