2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Review Sleek Looks, Smarter Drive

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has earned the #1 ranking in the Electric Cars category with a score of 8.9 out of 10, solidifying its position as a breakthrough electric sedan that challenges conventional automotive design. With its polarizing yet undeniably head-turning style, this electric sedan offers a maximum EPA-estimated range of 361 miles on a single charge, making it a serious contender in the premium EV market.

Powertrain Options and Range Excellence

The Ioniq 6 offers standard- and long-range battery packs with rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. The single-motor RWD model delivers 149 horsepower with the standard battery and 225 hp with the larger battery, while the dual-motor AWD model produces 320 hp. The standout performer is the rear-wheel-drive SE configuration, which achieves the longest range estimate of any model in the lineup at 342 miles.

The vehicle’s charging capabilities are equally impressive. Charging times range from an estimated 6 hours and 55 minutes on a standard 240-volt Level 2 charger down to just 18 minutes on a 350-kilowatt DC fast charger (from 10% to 80% charge).

Interior Technology and Comfort Features

The Ioniq 6’s cabin features a refined and modern design with excellent front-seat space and comfort, even for taller people, plus ample rear legroom. However, the aerodynamic roofline does impact headroom in the second row. The sedan includes advanced technology features such as wireless device charging, Hyundai Digital Key, and an available eight-speaker Bose premium audio system.
