2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6: new photos…
Last Updated:
Since it is based on the Ioniq5/EV6, the new 2023 Hyundai IOniq 6 sedan has very similar specs.
It uses the same battery packs as the Ioniq 5. Although the eneregy consumption is less. the long-range variant is expected to be rated at 379 miles in its home market. Which will be less in the US EPA testing cycle. But could still be around 340/350 miles.
At 191 inches long, it is just an inch shorter than a Toyota Camry. And about 7 inches larger than the Kia EV6. Not a small car. Which explains the super roomy back seat.
O have to say, the interior looks much better to me in these new pictures. And it’s good to see the big sunroof. Although the cargo area is still a mystery. With no photos of the trunk opened so far. And no word on pricing.
the US version will be unveiled officially in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Ioniq 6 is really starting to grow on me, especially in darker shades of color. Subtle, yet polarizing at the same time.
I get what they were going for and applaud the fact that the shape is unconventional – in a world of never ending conventional shapes (SUV's, I'm looking at you!). But it loses the flavor direction in the details – great, its kind of Porsche 911/Panamera like, but that front screams 90's era econocar. Details matter – and that's where they lost me.
I am not sure why everyone is fussy about the rear. It reminds me of the last generation Lincoln MKZ. What I am not a fan of are these wheels. There are other wheels they offer that are flatter and more aero in design.
