The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 is the latest all-electric addition to the Hyundai lineup. The IONIQ 6 picks up where the OG IONIQ leaves off and offers enhanced features, a more modern design, and mid-size cargo space for drivers who prefer extra legroom. Learn about the key features of the base SE Standard Range trim before you drop by your Hyundai dealer.
The base IONIQ 6 model has an electric driving range of 240 miles on average. In terms of energy efficiency, this means the SE Standard Range gets about 151 MPGe in the city, 120 MPGe on the interstate, and 135 MPGe combined. Overall, the IONIQ 6 is an ideal vehicle for weekday travelers, whether you’re running errands around town, collecting the kids from school, or commuting to work.
The electric motor for this model can generate 149 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This amount of torque means that the electric sedan can quickly accelerate from a stopping position, which is ideal if you spend a lot of time in traffic. A high level of torque also means the EV is great at handling hills and other steep road conditions.
Handling
The SE Standard Range has a standard rear-wheel-drive drivetrain that is ideal for suburban and urban traffic. This model has a single-speed transmission and a multi-link rear suspension for effortless acceleration and handling on all roads. The selectable drive modes for this EV are Normal, Sport, Eco, Snow, and My Mode, a custom mode you can set to suit your driving habits.
The base model comes with standard brake regeneration to transform kinetic energy into a moderate charge for the battery, which can keep your car traveling for longer distances in low-speed traffic. Drivers can optimize the level of regenerative brake power using control paddles to further enhance the energy efficiency of the mid-size sedan.
Charging
When it comes to EVs, drivers pay close attention to charging capability. The SE Standard Range supports Level 2 and rapid charging, depending on whether you’re charging at home or on the go. With a Level 2 charger, you can get the battery back to 80% in about five hours and 20 minutes. A rapid charger can restore the battery to 80% in about 18 minutes.
Fully electric vehicles are quickly becoming the norm on the road, especially among eco-conscious drivers who prefer to own a zero emissions vehicle. This particular EV is ideal for drivers who are constantly on the road, either in the suburbs or on urban streets.
