HIGHWAY RANGE TEST BATTLE! TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE RWD VS HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 SE

EV Channels Review

In a head-to-head highway range test conducted at a constant 70 mph, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD, specifically the 'Highland' updated version, demonstrated superior efficiency and range compared to the Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE. The Model 3 achieved an impressive 384 miles, exceeding its EPA rating, while the IONIQ 6 managed 332 miles, falling slightly short of its own EPA estimate. Reviewers praised the Model 3 for its exceptional efficiency (4.8 mi/kWh) and its overall package, including its software and driver assistance systems, despite noting its slower charging performance compared to the IONIQ 6. The IONIQ 6, while efficient (4.3 mi/kWh) and featuring faster charging, was criticized for its less refined software, lack of certain features like cooled seats, and a less intuitive user interface. The test highlighted the Model 3's significant advantage in real-world highway range and efficiency.
