Ioniq 6

It's named the Ioniq 6, but you could make a case for calling it the Iconic 6, as everything about this all-electric Hyundai—from its rakish and aerodynamic profile to its EPA-estimated 342 miles of maximum range—is worthy of reverence. Beyond that, it packs plenty of features while keeping its price tag competitive. The Ioniq 6 shares many components with its Ioniq 5 SUV sibling, so it should come as no surprise that both are former winners of our EV of the Year award—the Ioniq 6 in 2023 and the 5 in 2022. Despite small familial similarities, the Ioniq 6 sedan blazes its own stylistic trail at the expense of a smallish cargo hold and limited rear headroom. The Ioniq 6 is available in rear- or all-wheel drive formats and offers a choice of two differently sized battery packs. Combining the large battery and the single-motor, rear-wheel drive layout in the SE is the trick that earns the headline-grabbing 342-mile EPA-estimated range. Our real-world results fell a bit short of that metric, but the Ioniq 6 still hits the sweet spot where range, performance, charging speeds, and price intersect; consider the modern styling interpretation a bonus. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 has also earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025.
