After the Ioniq 5, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the second fully EV-developed Hyundai. The electric sedan was already available as a First Edition and cost almost €63,000 in that form. Hyundai has now released the prices of the regular versions. What seems? The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is cheaper than the Ioniq 5.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a starting price of €45,895, making it cheaper than the Ioniq 5, which costs at least €48,295. The entry-level price of the Ioniq 6 also applies to an engine version that the Ioniq 5 does not have. The cheapest Hyundai Ioniq 6 does not have a 170 hp electric motor on the rear axle, like the entry-level Ioniq 5, but a 151 hp one. The battery pack is also different at 53 kWh. After all, the entry-level Ioniq 5 has a 58-kWh model. The 151 hp Hyundai Ioniq 6 with 53 kWh battery can travel up to 429 kilometers on a full charge.

The other electric powertrains do correspond to those of the Hyundai Ioniq 5. This means that the Ioniq 6 is also available with a 77.4 kWh battery and with that package is available with both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. The rear-wheel drive variant has a 229 hp and 350 Nm strong electric motor, the four-wheel drive version kicks it up to 325 hp and 605 Nm thanks to two electric motors.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 with a 77.4-kWh battery and rear-wheel drive has a range of no less than 614 kilometers on 18-inch alloy wheels.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 with the largest range is the rear-wheel drive variant with a 77.4 kWh battery. It comes a maximum of 507 kilometers away. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 in the same configuration therefore travels 107 kilometers on a fully charged battery.
