It was July when Hyundai unveiled the Ioniq 6 as a continuation of the 2020 Prophecy concept. The sedan’s swooping shape isn’t just for looks, as it helps rival Tesla Model 3 lower the drag coefficient at 0.21. These efforts to make the body as streamlined as possible are paying off as the WLTP numbers are out and they are impressive. In its most economical specification, it will travel 614 kilometers (381.5 miles) before running out of juice.
To achieve that range, you’ll need to get the Long Range model with the 77.4 kWh battery, two-wheel drive and 18-inch alloy wheels. Upgrade to the larger 20-inch set while sticking to the single-motor setup and the WLTP rating drops dramatically to 545 km (339 miles). If you want all-wheel drive, the Ioniq 6 with the small wheels will go 583 km (362 miles) or 519 km (322 miles) with the larger alloys. As for the Standard model with the 53 kWh pack, 2-wheel drive and 18-inch wheels, it has the lowest range of all, at 429 km (267 miles).

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 can travel a little further than the Model 3 since the Tesla has a maximum range of 602 km (374 miles). As usual, the range varies greatly depending on several factors (driving style, traffic, temperature), and we all know that the WLTP tends to be overly optimistic compared to the EPA rating. That said, it is closer to reality than the previous NEDC test cycle.
Once the energy is low, the South Korean electric sedan can recharge its battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 18 minutes. With support for 800V super-fast charging, 15 minutes will be enough to travel up to 351 kilometers (218 miles). As far as maximum possible range goes, it’s pretty similar to a petrol car, and with charging times dropping, electric vehicles are becoming more and more alluring.
