The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the electric car for design nerds.
After driving a bunch of electric cars, you notice a throughline. They tend to drive pretty similarly, and it’s hard to find defining driving characteristics between them. That’s particularly true for the new Ioniq 6, built on Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform . It drives well, but not much different from its mechanically-identical sibling, the Ioniq 5.
The electric sedan effortlessly put down its 320 horsepower when requested, whether I was testing its claimed 5.1-second 0-60 time from a standstill or getting on the right pedal to cut up highway gaps. For daily driving, there’s no need for anything more than what the Ioniq 6 is working with. The car’s steering and brakes—with adjustable regeneration—were fully within their comfort zone with this kind of driving.
There are a handful of quirky design bits that stand out and are worth highlighting. Not only because they look cool, but also because they contribute to the car’s highly impressive .21 drag coefficient, a number that matches the industry-leading sleekness and air cutting of the far-more-expensive Lucid Air. But also, they just look cool.Aaron BrownThis spoiler is very 911-esque, and effective. Hyundai says it’s fixed because a power-deployable version would’ve been too heavy and expensive.
