2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6

From low-cost sedans to three-row EV SUVs, Hyundai has a model for almost every kind of customer. Most new Hyundai vehicles are stylish, functional, and competitively priced, but the brand overall ranks around the middle in Consumer Reports’ Reliability and Owner Satisfaction ratings. Individual models and years vary widely, with some standouts and a few laggards. The core Hyundai lineup includes low-cost subcompacts like the Elantra, and midsized sedans like the Sonata. SUVs include the subcompact Kona and compact Tucson, plus the midsize Santa Fe and larger Palisade, both of which offer three-row seating. Many models are available as hybrids or plug-in hybrids. In our testing, most Hyundai models benefit from a hybrid drivetrain, which adds power and smoothness in addition to improving fuel economy. Hyundai’s EVs are some of the best values among electric cars. The Ioniq models are high-tech, well designed, and can charge quite rapidly at public DC fast charging stations.

The Ioniq 6 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Genesis GV60. This sleek sedan has an EPA range that spans 270 to 361 miles depending on the version. It offers a choice of a 53- or 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery. Each version is offered with either rear or, thanks to dual motors, AWD. Like the Ioniq 5, it is capable of rapid DC fast charging in public places. The car rides comfortably and is super-quiet inside. The window and mirror controls are oddly placed on the center console instead of on the door trim. AEB with pedestrian and cyclist detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard. More advanced features are available on SEL and Limited trims.
