Hyundai's latest EV, the Ioniq 6, has a design that's impossible to ignore.

It’s said that electric cars are the future, but the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is one of the few that actually looks the part. The production version of the Hyundai Prophecy concept, this capsule-shaped sedan starkly contrasts the Hyundai Ioniq 5, its sibling in the Korean automaker’s Ioniq electric vehicle sub-brand, which takes a more retro styling direction.

The Ioniq 6 shares everything that is good about the Ioniq 5, though, including Hyundai’s E-GMP dedicated EV architecture, high-power charging, and user-friendly infotainment system. It’s just got a different wrapper, one that bucks the trend of electric crossovers for the cleaner look of a traditional sedan. Hyundai considers the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2 to be the Ioniq's main rivals, which makes sense, since they're the only electric sedans in its price range.

In Canada, the Ioniq 6 is offered with a Long Range battery pack and the Preferred trim level, offered with single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) and dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrains. We drove a dual-motor AWD model for this review.
