Hyundai IONIQ 6

The IONIQ 6 is a sedan and, like its sibling, is an all-electric vehicle featuring a 1-speed direct drive transmission and available all-wheel drive. The motor’s performance options match that of the IONIQ 5, delivering up to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque in the dual motor setup, and the car also shares the same towing and payload capacities.

The IONIQ 6 shares the IONIQ 5’s stylish aesthetics, with the same range of exterior and interior color options available. 

The biggest difference between the two is that the IONIQ 6 is a sedan, so it’s interior storage space is going to be a bit more limited than its larger, crossover counterpart. But with the same underpinnings and attention to detail, the biggest choice you’ll be making is whether you want a more city friendly sedan or the more versatile crossover.
