IONIQ 6 63 kWh RWD (MY26)

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 63 kWh RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €45,550 in Germany and €42,995 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.3 seconds, slower than 76% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 261 miles (420 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 50% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 45th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.3 mi/kWh (143 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 60 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 150 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 327 miles (526 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
