2024 HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 SE BASE MODEL EV: ULTIMATE IN-DEPTH LOOK AND TEST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE Long Range RWD is presented as a capable and aerodynamic electric sedan, offering an estimated 361 miles of range. The reviewer highlights its sleek design, particularly the "curated silver" paint with gloss black accents, and its impressive coefficient of drag (0.22). Inside, the cabin is noted for its spaciousness, deceivingly so from the exterior, with comfortable cloth seats and ample legroom. Practicality is also a strong point, with a large glove compartment and a decent-sized, carpeted trunk that offers additional storage under the floor. The reviewer praises the fast-charging capability (up to 350kW) and the intuitive dual-screen display system, though they point out the lack of wireless charging and heated seats on this specific trim. On the downside, the acceleration, while acceptable for an EV, is described as less exhilarating than some competitors, particularly in Eco mode. The reviewer also notes the absence of physical climate control buttons, requiring interaction through the touchscreen, and the rear windows needing manual hold to operate fully. Despite these minor drawbacks, the IONIQ 6 SE Long Range is deemed a fun-to-drive, quiet, and comfortable vehicle with excellent range.
