IONIQ 6 84 kWh RWD (MY26)

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 84 kWh RWD (MY26) is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €55,300 in Germany and €52,995 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.4 seconds, slower than 63% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 339 miles (545 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 92% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 19th of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.2 mi/kWh (147 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 80 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 196 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 427 miles (687 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.
