Hyundai has announced the IONIQ 6 series EPA ranges with some impressive numbers. The IONIQ 5 was a huge hit and sold out within 24 hours. The IONIQ 6 seems to have even upped the stakes with some impressive EPA numbers. The longest-range model in the lineup can deliver 361 miles on a single charge.
The official EPA ratings of the Hyundai IONIQ 6 lineup blew away expectations. The new electrified streamliner was unveiled last June with a sportier design than the IONIQ 5 SUV. It retained the same 800V E-GMP platform as its predecessor but with advanced capabilities. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 features vehicle-to-load (V2L), ultra-fast charging, and the latest innovations in the industry.
At the LA Motor Show, the IONIQ 6 was estimated to deliver an estimated range of 340 miles. It was projected as one of the most efficient EVs with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.22. The IONIQ 6 also has active air flaps, wheel gap reducers, a spoiler with a winglet, flow separation straps, and an efficient aerodynamic design. It was launched in Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, and Norway.
The 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 will arrive in the United States soon. The final EPA testing shows that the EV exceeded the initial expectations. Hyundai expects the 2023 IONIQ 6 to enter the US market with a bang. The IONIQ 6 SE RWD comes with a final EPA estimated range of 361 miles, followed by the IONIQ 6 SE AWD at 316 miles. The SEL RWD and SEL AWD both with 20-inch wheels have an EPA range of 305 miles and 270 miles respectively. The remaining models in the lineup are the Limited RWD and Limited AWD models with 305 miles and 270 miles respectively.
The IONIQ 6 series benefited greatly from its aerodynamic design which provided improved ranges. They also come with impressive MPGe ratings, especially for the top model the IONIQ 6 SE RWD. The series will enter the US market this spring and pricing information is lacking at this time.
