2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 rated at 361 miles of range by the EPA

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 for the US market debuted last November. The automaker revealed it with an estimated all-electric range of 340 miles for the long-range single-engine model, and Hyundai exceeded that figure. The U.S. EPA officially rates the Ioniq 6 with the largest battery and rear-wheel drive for a return of up to 361 miles of range.

Hyundai achieves this figure by giving the Ioniq 6 a super slippery drag coefficient of 0.22. That’s actually 0.1 more than the Korean market model, allowing the automaker to replace traditional side mirrors with slim cameras. Sorry, America.

Hyundai had estimated that the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version with the bigger battery would come in at 310 miles, and the automaker topped that as well. The EPA rated this variant to return up to 316 miles of range. The US EPA also rated the EV at 140 MPGe combined, which puts an Ioniq 6 version on par with two Lucid Air variants.

Hyundai offers the Ioniq 6 with a 77.4 kilowatt-hour battery. The larger battery’s RWD motor produces 225 horsepower (168 kilowatts) and 258 pound-feet (350 Newton-meters) of torque. The twin-motor version develops a combined torque of 320 hp (239 kW) and 446 lb-ft (605 Nm).

Hyundai has maximized interior space by giving the electric vehicle a flat floor. The automaker further increased the cabin space by removing the door buttons. The automaker has packed the car with technologies, including two 12.3-inch digital screens. It’s even capable of receiving over-the-air updates for future improvements, allowing the company to tweak things like throttle response or respond to callbacks.

The new Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be available at dealerships during the spring. Hyundai hasn’t announced pricing information for the new EV, and we expect that to be closer to the car’s on-sale date. Spring arrives on March 20.
