IONIQ 6 Long Range 2WD (MY23-25)

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 Long Range 2WD (MY23-25) is a 5-seat saloon with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £47,050. 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 308 miles (495 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 78% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 31st of 48 saloons.

It uses around 4.2 mi/kWh (149 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 74 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 391 miles (630 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.

Its UK starting price works out at £153 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for saloons (£245 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £15,200–£17,800 and a 2025 one at £26,800–£30,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 284 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
