Hyundai prepares larger Ioniq 6 EV for UK launch

The new car – larger than the Ioniq 5 – comes in two trim levels. Premium and Ultimate, and with a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All versions have a 77.4kWh battery, and prices start at £46,745 for the RWD Premium, rising to £53,745 for AWD Ultimate.

Ioniq 6’s streamlined design gives an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.21, while the body is designed to give maximised rear legroom. Green credentials are further reinforced by the use of recycled materials in the build, including recycled fishing nets and pigments from old tyres.

The battery uses an 800v charging system, which means the car is compatible with the fastest 350kW ultra-fast chargers, allowing recharging in less than 20 minutes from 20-80%.

Hyundai claims range of 338 miles (WLTP) on a full charge.
