  • Hyundai Confirms EPA-estimated Range for all 2023 IONIQ 6 Trim Levels
  • Single-Curved Aerodynamic Profile Creates Hyundai’s Lowest Drag Coefficient

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Jan. 31, 2023 – The new, all-electric 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 has completed final EPA testing with the IONIQ 6 SE Long Range RWD trim receiving an EPA-estimated range of 361 miles. The IONIQ 6 SE AWD achieved an EPA-estimated range of 316 miles[2].

EPA testing also confirmed a 140 combined MPGe rating for the IONIQ 6 SE RWD Long Range. IONIQ 6’s 140 combined MPGe rating matches the models that are at the top of Fueleconomy.gov’s 2023 Top Ten Vehicles list.

Final EPA-estimated Range

IONIQ 6 Trim Level Final EPA-Estimated Range IONIQ 6 MPGe Combined
IONIQ   6 SE RWD Long Range (18-inch wheels) 361   miles 140
IONIQ 6 SE AWD Long Range (18-inch   wheels) 316 miles 121
IONIQ   6 SEL RWD (20-inch wheels) 305   miles 117
IONIQ 6 SEL AWD (20-inch wheels) 270 miles 103
IONIQ   6 Limited RWD (20-inch wheels) 305   miles 117
IONIQ 6 Limited AWD (20-inch wheels) 270 miles 103

Note: All figures are EPA estimates and based on a fully charged battery. For comparison purposes only. Battery capacity decreases with time and use. Actual range will vary based on a number of factors, including vehicle options, driving conditions and habits, vehicle and battery’s condition, battery temperature and outside temperature.

“Continually improving the efficiency of our vehicles is always a top priority for our development teams,” said Olabisi Boyle, vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America. “Instead of just adding a larger battery to increase the range, we chose to optimize IONIQ 6’s aerodynamic performance and its Electric-Global Modular Platform for efficiency to produce these long driving ranges.”

IONIQ 6’s ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.21[3] is assisted by a low nose, active air flaps, wheel gap reducers, elliptical wing-inspired spoiler with winglet, slight boattail structure, separation traps on both sides of the rear bumper, full underbody cover, deflectors and reduced wheel-arch gaps.
