2027 Hyundai Ioniq 6MotorTrend - MotorTrendSporty and fun to driveCharges quicklyMany standard featuresOnly one trim levelMediocre rangeLooks a bit oddOnce meant to be Hyundai's answer to the Tesla Model 3 and other mainstream electric sedans, the Ioniq 6 is now sold only in high-performance N form. The Ioniq 6 N is excellent, but it's certainly more of an enthusiast special than mass-market seller.Sport sedan rivals to the Ioniq 5 N include the BMW i3, Porsche Taycan, and Tesla Model 3 Performance.AdvertisementAdvertisementImage shown is last year model. This page will be updated with photos as information becomes available.What's NewHyundai introduced the Ioniq 6 for 2023. Later, the automaker announced numerous changes to the car and the Ioniq 6 N, all set to arrive for 2026. However, shortly after, Hyundai decided to end sales of most versions of the Ioniq 6 in the United States, leaving only the Ioniq 6 N available. This sporty electric sedan remains unchanged and sold only in limited quantities for 2027.What We ThinkHyundai figured out how to make an electric sedan feel genuinely thrilling. The Ioniq 6 N combines huge power, wild acceleration, and a sharp chassis with enough adjustability to make simply selecting Sport mode a waste of time.When running as a conventional EV, instant torque and strong regen make it quick and fluid. But the simulated eight-speed gearbox, synthetic rev limiter, and digital exhaust turn the experience into something uncannily familiar. Regardless of how the Ioniq 6 N is configured, its chassis is agile, precise, and poised.AdvertisementAdvertisementCertain EV-related compromises are present, though. Weight is well hidden but still a factor, and the brake pedal is a bit numb. The stock tires don't feel up to the task on a track, while mediocre driving range limits the Ioniq 6 N's viability in the real world.These compromises matter less than how the Ioniq 6 N rejects common enthusiast stereotypes about EVs. This is a proper sport sedan and proves that EVs can be legitimately fun.Top-Ranked Competitors:BMW i3Lucid AirPorsche TaycanTesla Model 3Ioniq 6 N HP, Torque, and 0–60 MPHThe Ioniq 6 N has a dual-motor AWD powertrain that produces 601 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque normally—but hitting the N Grin Boost (NGB) button on the steering wheel unlocks 641 hp and 568 lb-ft of torque, available in 10-second bursts.AdvertisementAdvertisementWhen set up in launch control mode and using NGB, the Ioniq 6 N should beat the 0–60-mph time of its counterpart, the Ioniq 5 N, which did the sprint in just 2.8 seconds—think more like 2.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph for the Ioniq 6 N. Hyundai says the car's top speed is 160 mph.EV Range and ChargingAn 84.0-kWh battery gives the Ioniq 6 N an estimated 240 miles of range; big power and sticky tires take their toll. At least the battery can recharge quickly, at up to about 350 kW. That should let the Ioniq 6 N charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 20 minutes.Ioniq 6 N vs. Ioniq 5 NFor more versatility but similar thrills, the Ioniq 5 N is a good alternative to the Ioniq 6 N. This crossover SUV has a body that's more spacious and practical than the sedan, while sharing all the same power and performance features.The Ioniq 6 N has a lower center of gravity and better aerodynamics, so it might be slightly better in terms of ultimate performance. However, as a fun daily driver, the Ioniq 5 N might make more sense.Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Price and On-Sale DatePricing for the Ioniq 6 N is expected to start at about $70,000. It was meant to go on sale as a 2026 model, but deliveries have not yet begun at time of publication. Hopefully, Hyundai will start customer deliveries for 2027.
