What is the Hyundai Ioniq 6 streamlined, huh?

“Hopefully it will really get far on a battery charge,” some will cynically remark when seeing the Hyundai Ioniq 6. And yes, this extremely streamlined sedan does that for 50,895 euros and it also goes nicely. Better than the Tesla Model 3?

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is all about getting as much range as possible from its battery capacity. That explains its teardrop shape. Not everyone will admire its lines, but it is an impressive sedan of 4.86 meters. It is much longer and much lower than the Ioniq 5 with which it shares its technique. Prices start at 45,000 euros for a 53 kWh battery. It has a WLTP range of 429 km and a 151 hp electric motor that drives the rear wheels.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 with the largest range requires the 77.4 kWh variant and it must reach a range of up to 614 kilometers. It is available from 50,895 euros with 229 hp and then there is a 325 hp four-wheel drive with only the largest battery. It is 2500 euros cheaper than a comparable model Ioniq 5. Its main competitor is the Tesla Model 3.

Also because of the charging speed of the Hyundai Ioniq 6. On a 300 kW fast charger, it only needed 15 minutes from 20% to 80% battery charge. He managed to charge with an average of almost 200 kW with a peak of 225.8 kW. Exceptional performance for this price range.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 does more things well. Its frequency-dependent shock absorbers quickly settle the body after a motorway slope and also provide stability in a bumpy motorway curve. This makes it comfortable, but the rear axle can thump on short bumps.

Why you can (possibly) buy this fantastic Hyundai soon

He has a different character than the Ioniq 5. The sedan is more tightly tuned, steers more precisely and rolls less in corners. The streamlined sedan is therefore an interesting offer for several reasons.
