The upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 6 is set to be Korea’s longest-range electric sedan, with the Ministry of Environment certifying it to have an impressive range of up to 568 km (353 miles). This is a significant improvement over the previous model, which already boasted a strong EPA-estimated range of 342 miles. The new Ioniq 6 is expected to launch later this year and will feature a Tesla-style NACS plug in the American market.
In a market saturated with crossovers and trucks, the focus on a sedan with long-range capabilities is a refreshing change. The Ioniq 6 has always been a strong contender in this regard, and the upcoming model looks to set a new benchmark for electric sedans.
The increased range of the new Ioniq 6 can be attributed to larger batteries, with the capacity now ranging from 63 kWh to 84 kWh. This boost in battery capacity, combined with efficient design adjustments, has led to a significant increase in driving range. Additionally, the new model is reported to be lighter and capable of receiving over-the-air software updates.
While the final specifications of the Ioniq 6 are yet to be announced, early reports suggest that the sedan will offer improved range across all trim levels. Sales of the Ioniq 6 have been on the rise in Korea, and the upcoming model is expected to generate more interest in the U.S. market.
Overall, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is shaping up to be a compelling option for EV enthusiasts who prioritize long-range driving capabilities. With a focus on performance, efficiency, and advanced technology features, the Ioniq 6 is poised to make a strong impact in the electric vehicle market.
