The Hyundai brand’s second vehicle on a dedicated electric vehicle platform, the Ioniq 6, has been priced for Australia ahead of its launch this month.
The range consists of three variants, with a choice of single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrains like the Ioniq 5 crossover with which it shares its E-GMP underpinnings.
Prices range from $74,000 before on-road costs for the Dynamiq to $88,000 before on road costs for the flagship Epiq.
It’s also the latest model in Australia to feature the brand’s Bluelink connectivity suite.
Hyundai has previously said it expects demand for the Ioniq 6 to outstrip supply, as is the case with the related Ioniq 5.
The company calls the car an “electric streamliner”, and it certainly is streamlined with a drag coefficient of just 0.21.

The Ioniq 6 Techniq and Epiq have a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain with total system outputs of 239kW and 605Nm.
All three variants use a 77.4kWh battery pack.
Efficiency
The rear-wheel drive Dynamiq offers 614km of range on the WLTP cycle while the Techniq and Epiq models have 519km of range.
All Ioniq 6 models use an 800V electrical architecture.
With DC fast charging, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in 18 minutes.
Dimensions
With the rear seats upright the rear-wheel drive Ioniq 6 has a rear boot capacity of 401L, as well as a 45L front boot.
The all-wheel drive Ioniq 6 has the same boot, but has a smaller 14.5L under-bonnet cargo capacity.
Servicing and Warranty
The Ioniq 6 is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty plus an eight-year, 160,000km high-voltage battery warranty.
Servicing is required every 24 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first. The first two services are capped at $560 respectively for all models.
Safety
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. An ANCAP rating has yet to be applied.
It earned its five-star rating on back of a 98 per cent score for adult occupant protection, 87 per cent for child occupant protection, 66 per cent for vulnerable road user protection, and 90 per cent for safety assist.
