Hyundai India are likely to showcase the Ioniq 6 sedan at the Auto Expo 2023. Let’s discuss the details like expected dimensions and engine specs, expected launch timeline, rivals and expected price of the Hyundai Ioniq 6.

Most Notable Features Of Hyundai Ioniq 6

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the second model in Hyundai’s Ioniq range of electric cars after the Ioniq 5. Like the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 is based on Hyundai-Kia’s Electrical Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). Hyundai have launched the Ioniq 6 EV in the global market with a host of new features with extreme attention to detail. For instance, the carmaker has designed the lights of the Ioniq 6 very thoughtfully. The Speed Sync Lighting feature syncs the car’s ambient lights with its speed. So, if you are driving the Ioniq 6 at 30kmph the ambient lights are at 10% and the brightness gradually increases as the speed rises.

The Intelligent Front-Lighting System (IFS) detects approaching vehicles and cuts off the high beam partially to prevent headlight flare while ensuring clear visibility for the driver. This is indeed a thoughtful feature by Hyundai to ensure increased safety. The Ioniq 6 also features Interactive Pixel Lights on the steering that indicate welcome function, voice recognition, drive mode, reverse gear status, ready-to-drive status and battery status. The Ioniq 6 also has the following useful features:

Digital side mirrors
A 12.3-inch infotainment system
Column type Shift By Wire (SBW)
Reclining front seats
Level 2 ADAS
Vehicle To Load (V2L) feature to charge other electronics

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Expected Specs

Hyundai have not yet launched the Ioniq series in India. However, they are highly likely to showcase it at the Auto Expo 2023. The Ioniq 6 has the following powertrain specifications:

HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 POWERTRAIN (KOREAN SPECIFICATIONS)
Variant	Standard 2WD	Long Range 2WD		Long Range AWD
Tyre size	18-inch	18-inch	20-inch	18-inch	20-inch
Power	151PS	229PS	229PS	325PS	325PS
Torque	350Nm	350Nm	350Nm	605Nm	605Nm
Range (City, Highway and Combined)	City: 403km Highway: 323km Combined: 367km	City: 563km Highway: 477km Combined: 524km	City: 494km Highway: 401km Combined: 452km	City: 510km Highway: 452km Combined: 484km	City: 448km Highway: 385km Combined: 420km
Battery	53kWH	77.4kWH	77.4kWH	77.4kWH	77.4kWH

The above specifications are from the Korean version of the car. It is evident that the Ioniq 6 is more practical as a city car due to its better efficiency figures in the city. The Long Range 2WD variant with 18-inch tyres provides the maximum fuel efficiency. Similarly, the Long Range AWD drive variant with 20 inch tyres provides the best performance.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Launch Timeline

We expect Hyundai to showcase the Ioniq series at the Auto Expo 2023, but the chances of the carmaker launching the Ioniq 6 in India are slim. Considering the chronology of the Ioniq series, Hyundai might first launch the Ioniq 5 in India.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Expected Price

It is not very likely that the Ioniq 6 will be launched in India. However, in case it is launched in future, it will be placed above cars like Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 (Rs. 59.95 lakh to Rs.64.95 lakh ex-showroom). So, it will be priced a tad higher than these cars, which would be somewhere in the range of Rs. 65.0 lakh to Rs. 80.0 lakh.
