2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 costs between $42,715 and $57,215
The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric sedan will cost $42,715, including a $1,115 destination fee, when it goes on sale this summer. That’s about the same as the Ioniq 5 hatchback on which it shares a platform, though that’s based on the SE Standard Range with rear-wheel drive, which is the sole model with the smaller 53-kwh battery pack and a 240-mile range. The cheapest Ioniq 6 with a 77.4-kwh battery pack and an EPA range estimate of 361 miles will start at $46,615, Hyundai announced Tuesday.
The base 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 with a 62-kwh battery pack undercuts the 2023 Ioniq 6 by about $3,000, as does the 2023 Toyota bZ4X when compared with Ioniq 6 Long Range models. No electric vehicle in this price range, including the related Ioniq 5, can match the 361-mile range and efficiency of the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range.
The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 can be optioned with one of two battery packs, single- or dual-motor layouts, and in SE, SEL, or Limited trims. The wheel-size choices make a huge difference in range, however. All models are built on an 800-volt architecture that enables 350-kw DC-fast charging from 10-80% in 18 minutes.

The SE RWD Long Range uses a single motor driving the rear wheels, and has an output of 225 hp. The 361-mile range only applies on models equipped with 18-inch wheels. The $48,815 SEL with 20-inch wheels has a range of 305 miles.
The slippery sedan balances aerodynamics and value better than the Tesla Model 3, and early impressions suggest many people think it looks better. The most popular EV in the U.S. has a 358-mile range and a price in the upper $50,000s.
Dual-motor all-wheel-drive models of the Ioniq 6 cost $3,500 more than their single-motor counterparts, and generate 320 hp. The 316-mile SE AWD Long Range with 18-inch wheels costs $50,115, while the SEL AWD with 20-inch wheels comes in at $52,315 and an estimated range of 270 miles.
The top-of-the-line Limited AWD costs $57,215 and delivers a 270-mile range.
