What reviewers say about the Hyundai Ioniq 6 Long Range RWD (2025)
Two hands-on testers rate the 2025 Ioniq 6 highly—Car and Driver 9.5/10, MotorTrend 9.2/10—praising the aero-driven range, efficiency, quick DC charging and a quiet, composed ride. Both clocked 0-60 mph at 6.0-6.2 sec for the 225-hp RWD Long Range. Real-world range fell short of the 342-mi EPA figure: C/D's steady 75-mph test hit 260 mi, MotorTrend's road-trip test 291 mi on 18-inch wheels.

Where reviewers disagree Range results diverge by protocol: MotorTrend's road-trip test returned 291 mi on 18-inch wheels, while Car and Driver's stricter steady 75-mph highway test managed only 260 mi (82 mi under EPA)—both below the 342-mi EPA rating. The two also disagree on where the 6 lands versus rivals: MotorTrend prefers the Ioniq 6 to the Tesla Model 3 but nudges buyers toward the Ioniq 5 SUV, whereas Car and Driver ranks the Model 3 (#1, 10/10) above the Ioniq 6 (#2, 9.5/10) among EV sedans.

0-60 mph (RWD Long Range): 6.2 sec · 75-mph highway range test (RWD large battery): 260 mi · Braking, 70-0 mph: 168 ft · Roadholding, 300-ft skidpad: 0.86 g · 1/4-mile: 14.8 sec @ 95 mph · Observed efficiency: 116 MPGe
Excellent EPA range, zippy dual-motor models, solid bang for your buck.
Limited rear headroom, miniscule cargo capacity, love-it-or-hate-it styling.
The best we could do with the large battery RWD variant in our 75-mph highway range test was 260 miles, 82 miles under its EPA estimate.
0-60 mph (RWD Long Range, 225 hp): 6.0 sec · Road-trip range test (18-inch wheels): 291 mi
thanks to its slippery shape, it boasts longer driving range than its boxy hatchback counterpart
the Ioniq 6, which feels too plasticky in places
Our pick in the 2025 Ioniq 6 lineup is the SE RWD trim.
