The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the second model in Hyundai's Ioniq EV subbrand, and it has radically different styling than its Ioniq 5 sibling.
While some automakers are just beginning to get into electric cars, Hyundai’s EVs have already taken several evolutionary steps. From the Ioniq Electric to the Kona Electric to the Ioniq 5, the South Korean brand’s EVs have steadily become more sophisticated in tech and design. And Hyundai isn’t stopping.
Limiting aerodynamic drag helps increase range, and Hyundai went for broke here. It claims a drag coefficient of 0.22 for the Ioniq 6 — a significant improvement over the Ioniq 5’s 0.28 and the best ever for a Hyundai production vehicle. That focus on aerodynamics also gives the Ioniq 6 a distinctive look that admittedly isn’t for everyone. The window and rooflines arch up in the middle, making this Hyundai look a bit like an elongated Volkswagen Beetle.
Tech, infotainment, and driver assist The Ioniq 6 gets a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, which are placed side by side in one housing to form a single expanse of screen running about halfway across the dashboard. Apple Car Play and Android Auto are standard, but in wired form only. A head-up display isn’t available at all, because it couldn’t be packaged on the narrow dashboard, but the large instrument cluster meant we didn’t really miss this feature.
The Ioniq 6 is a major improvement over the Ioniq 5 in terms of driving dynamics. Where the Ioniq 5 was both clumsy and uncomfortable, the Ioniq 6 strikes an excellent balance between handling and ride quality. The suspension has plenty of compliance, preventing jolts from road imperfections from penetrating the cabin, but The Ioniq 6 isn’t afraid of corners. While definitely not a sports sedan like the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2, the Ioniq 6 glides through corners with confidence.
