Hyundai's IONIQ 6 is an outstanding small electric car. If you want a vehicle with great handling on busy roads and the choice of three fuel-efficient all-electric powertrains, the IONIQ 6 is right for you. Hyundai has also invested considerable effort in equipping this electric sedan with a range of high-tech infotainment features to keep you and your passengers entertained while you're on the go. Our experts at Stivers Hyundai in Columbia, South Carolina, took a closer look at the Hyundai IONIQ 6 features and what each trim has to offer.
The standard infotainment system in the Hyundai IONIQ 6 includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker stereo. This large display makes it extremely easy for you to access your favorite features, including music and the standard automatic climate control.
In terms of connectivity, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay make linking your phone to the infotainment system a breeze. Alternatively, you can use one of the USB ports or Bluetooth connectivity. Satellite radio and HD radio are also available in the standard setup, which is part of the base SE Standard Range trim.
The standard navigation system will give you directions to your next destination. Moving up to a higher trim will give you access to wireless device charging. What's more, you'll get your hands on the Hyundai Digital Key. This cool feature allows you to adjust various settings from afar with your phone, including remotely starting your IONIQ 6, locking and unlocking the doors, and more.
The Digital Key also lets you configure specific features to your liking. If you opt for the top-tier Limited trim, you'll gain access to a premium eight-speaker stereo for the very best in Bose sound quality.
All these cutting-edge infotainment features come with three powertrain options to drive this compact sedan. If you stick with the SE Standard Range trim, you'll get a single electric motor and a battery pack capable of putting out 149 horsepower. That's adequate for city driving and shifting your sedan up to highway speed at a steady pace. However, if you'd prefer a touch more potency when you hit the acceleration pedal, you can upgrade to a 225-horsepower setup that also comes with a single electric motor.
The third option adds a second electric motor to boost the output to over 300 horsepower. This all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain will provide you with extra control on challenging surfaces and can crank out a maximum of 320 horsepower.
The driving range for the standard IONIQ 6 is 240 miles. If you upgrade to the extended-range model, you can get up to 342 miles out of a full charge. AWD IONIQ 6 models require more power, so the driving range drops slightly under 300 miles on a full charge.
The Hyundai electric car IONIQ 6 isn't just equipped with excellent infotainment features but also great safety tech. It features forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian and cyclist detection.
To help you see other motorists approaching from awkward angles, you get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. At highway speeds, you can rely on lane trace assist and lane-keep assist. Hyundai's adaptive cruise control works on the highway and in stop-and-go traffic, helping you maintain a safe distance from other cars.
If you regularly take long drives, the driver-assistance monitor will determine when it's time to take a break. The vehicle exit warning alerts you if you open one of the IONIQ 6's doors and a vehicle is approaching from the rear. The rear-seat alert is designed to make sure you check the second row for kids or pets before you get out.
If these standard safety features aren't enough, you can upgrade to a surround-view parking camera and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The optional head-up display projects all important performance indicators onto your windshield so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to monitor your speed, navigation instructions, and more.
You can opt for four trim options in the IONIQ 6 lineup, and your choice will impact the price you pay and the tech features you get. The trims are the SE Standard Range, SE, SEL, and Limited. The SE Standard Range has an MSRP of $37,750. In addition to the standard drivetrain and infotainment features, it gets cloth upholstery and an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Moving up to the SE, which starts at $42,700, gets you the more powerful single-motor setup with the IONIQ 6's longest driving range.
Next comes the IONIQ 6 SEL, with a starting price of $45,500. It gets synthetic leather upholstery and the Hyundai Digital Key. If you want to get the best Hyundai IONIQ 6 horsepower, you'll need to opt for the range-topping Limited trim. It has a starting price of $51,000 and comes with a dual-motor powertrain. It's also equipped with ventilated front seats, memory settings for the driver's seat, and a sunroof.
