The Hyundai Ioniq 6 launched for the 2023 model year, and it’s one of the few true rivals to the Tesla Model 3. In the cheapest SE Standard Range trim, it costs $41,600, while at the other end of the spectrum, the $52,600 Limited trim tops out the range. Thanks to the car’s 800V architecture, charging times are among the fastest in the segment — if you have access to a Level 3 fast charger, charging up to 80% takes as little as 18 minutes. Level 2 chargers, which can be installed at home, should take between 5.5 and 7 hours to reach the same level.
The base-spec Ioniq 6’s official range is estimated at 240 miles, and SlashGear found those estimates to be generally accurate. Styling is always subjective, but one thing that can’t be argued is that the car’s flowing, retro-futuristic design certainly won’t get lost in the crowd. Hyundai’s recent EVs have gone all-in on the unique design front, and that’s arguably a good thing no matter what you think of the Ioniq 6 itself. After all, a common complaint about new cars is that their shared underpinnings and aero-focused designs mean they all look the same, and no one can level that argument against Hyundai’s current all-electric lineup.
