Pros & cons

Hyundai Ioniq 6

614 km rated range reduces charging stops on road trips
313 hp and 605 Nm provide easy passing and relaxed cruising
Seats five with a 401 L trunk for family-compact duties
Around 44,000 offers good value in its segment for a 77.4 kWh EV
401 L trunk is modest for cargo-heavy use or bulky gear
FWD only; no AWD option in this variant
0–100 km/h in 7.4 s is capable but not performance-focused
No efficiency figure provided here, making cost-per-km comparisons harder

Hyundai Ioniq 6 SEL

Excellent 614 km range reduces charging stops on road trips
Five seats and a 400 L trunk fit small families and everyday use
Signals point to strong reliability and safety priorities
Good value in its segment at around 42,000 for a long-range EV
FWD and weak winter signal may not satisfy drivers in snowy climates
400 L trunk limits cargo-heavy or bulky-haul needs
0–100 km/h in 7.4 s is adequate, not thrilling
Those wanting AWD or sportier dynamics should look elsewhere
