2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 PREFERRED RWD LONG RANGE - THE RANGE MASTER WINTER TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Preferred RWD Long Range is presented as a compelling option for EV buyers prioritizing range, especially in winter conditions. The reviewer highlights its impressive real-world consumption figures, achieving around 13.5 kWh/100km in hypermiling and 16.5 kWh/100km on the highway, even with winter tires. This translates to an estimated range of 450-550 km in cool spring temperatures, with projections of 500-600 km in ideal summer conditions. The reviewer praises the generous rear-seat space, superior to the Tesla Model 3, and the car's aerodynamic design contributing to its range. Downsides mentioned include the lack of a glass roof on the base model and the need to navigate climate controls through menus. The reviewer also notes the discontinuation of fast-charging tests due to network inconsistencies and rising costs, opting instead for home charging. Overall, the Ioniq 6 is positioned as a strong contender, offering excellent range for its $55,000 starting price.
