Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD Techniq review

EV Central

Very closely related to the Ioniq 5 crossover SUV and Kia EV6 , it rides on the same E-GMP architecture, has the same 400V/800V ultra-fast charging capability, same (in Long Range guise) 77.4kWh battery and same 239kW/605Nm from its twin motors. Even if you’re not taken by its looks, the Ioniq 6’s range makes headlines.
