IONIQ 6

Everyone is eagerly awaiting it, and can’t wait for it to make its official debut in this country. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is even more spectacular than expected. Not only does the electric sedan boast a stunning silhouette, but it also has off-the-charts capabilities. With an estimated range of 581 kilometres, it is well ahead of its rivals in the category. The reason for this extended range is the aerodynamic design, which maximizes efficiency while minimizing friction. Also important, with the use of an extended roof and flat floor, the Hyundai 6 is the most spacious sedan in its class, while allowing for a unique cargo area.

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is based on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, which also underpins the IONIQ 5 and Hyundai’s battery-electric vehicles, including the Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60. The IONIQ 6 has a long, low roofline and a slight boat-tail shape that Hyundai says gives it an “ultra-low coefficient of drag” of 0.22. Coupled with a 77.4 kWh battery, the IONIQ 6 is offered with rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive and has a range of up to 581 kilometres, about 100 more than the IONIQ 5.

The designer, Simon Loasby, responsible for the car, has indeed used every detail, including a shark fin as an antenna and a spoiler inspired by the wings of stealth aircraft, to design the car. The all-wheel drive version develops 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque from two motors located in the front and rear of the car. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 with all-wheel drive has a range of about 509 kilometres. The rear-wheel-drive version has 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, giving it a claimed range of 581 kilometres. Three versions of the IONIQ 6 are available in Canada: the rear-wheel drive Preferred, which has the longest range, the all-wheel drive Preferred, which has a range of 509 km, and the Ultimate Package Preferred, which increases the wheel size from 18″ to 20″ and reduces the range to 435 km.

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 delivers exceptional electric performance, with a design that’s as functional as it is eye-catching. Its impressive estimated range of 581 kilometres places it ahead of the competition, thanks to its ultra-aerodynamic shape that minimizes drag and maximizes efficiency. Built on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform, the IONIQ 6 also features a flat floor and extended roofline, creating one of the roomiest and most versatile cabins in its class—complete with a unique and practical cargo space.

Charging is quick and convenient with support for both 400V and 800V ultra-fast charging systems. Using a DC fast charger, the IONIQ 6 can charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes. It also features Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, allowing you to power small appliances or even charge other devices directly from the car’s battery—ideal for camping, tailgating, or emergency use. Whether at home or on the road, the IONIQ 6 makes keeping your EV charged simple and efficient.

The car looks dramatic and aerodynamic, but it’s the 700 or so pixels of light on all four corners that set it apart. They not only display the state of charge but are also part of the atmosphere. Even in the cabin, more than 64 colours are selectable for more comfort. As for the dashboard, it matches that of the IONIQ 5 with its large touch screens, advanced connectivity and efficient voice commands. It will also benefit from standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Some versions will also feature V2L, the system that allows the battery charge to be used to power a few outdoor tools, or charge another car. The first examples of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 are available now at dealerships across Canada.
