2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6, driving range up to 361 miles.

Hyundai's handsome electric sedan, the Ioniq 6, not only looks good, it has a decent range.

EPA-rated range estimates were released Tuesday, with the highest figure being 361 miles. This is 58 miles more than the highest estimated range of the related Ioniq 5 and 3 miles more than the highest estimated range of the Tesla Model 3.

This is not a huge surprise given the Ioniq 6's sleek form and numerous aero design tweaks, including active front flaps, sealed underbody, rear spoiler, and aerodynamically optimized wheel patterns. The combination of these features results in an aerodynamic drag coefficient as low as 0.22.

The Ioniq 6, which will arrive at dealerships in the spring as a 2023 model, will be offered in six grades, with a choice of 53 kwh or 77.4 kwh (long range) batteries and rear- or all-wheel drive. At launch, only the 77.4 kwh battery will be available.

The 361-mile range estimate is for the Ioniq 6 with rear-wheel drive, 18-inch wheels, and a long-range battery. The single rear motor is rated at 225 hp; [adding a 320 hp dual-motor all-wheel drive system reduces the range to 316 miles; replacing the 18-inch wheels with 20-inch wheels reduces the range to 305 miles.

The lowest range estimate of 270 miles is for the Ioniq 6 with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, 20-inch wheels, and a 53 kwh battery.

The wheelbase of the Ioniq 6 is 116.1 inches, midway between the longer Kia EV6 at 118.1 inches and the shorter Ioniq 5 at 114.1 inches. On the interior, the two-spoke steering wheel and 12.0-inch twin screens on the single-pane glass-covered dashboard are similar to the Ioniq 5. As for charging, Hyundai says that with its 800-volt architecture, the Ioniq 6 should be able to charge from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes using a suitable fast charger.

Pricing will be announced closer to launch, but Hyundai expects prices to start in the low $40,000s.
