The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is an electric sedan built on the E-GMP platform, the same underpinning the IONIQ 5. Hyundai calls it an "Electrified Streamliner," and the name is earned: its drag coefficient is among the lowest in the segment, which directly helps range.

The exterior is unlike anything else in India's current EV market. A sleek, fast-sloping roofline, flush door handles, and a body that measures 4,855mm in length give it a distinctly premium presence without the bulk of an SUV. Pixel-style LED lighting front and rear is standard.

The cabin is structured around a lounge-like layout with a flat floor, a benefit of the skateboard EV platform. Dual 12-inch screens handle infotainment and instrumentation, and the overall feel is more premium saloon than typical sedan.

Internationally, the IONIQ 6 is offered with a 53kWh or 77.4kWh battery in RWD or AWD configurations. RWD makes 228bhp with up to 614km of range, while AWD pushes out 325bhp. The headline feature is 350kW ultra-fast DC charging, which is among the quickest available. A Level 2 ADAS suite is standard.

For India, Hyundai is expected to bring the larger 77.4kWh pack and likely the single-trim, fully-loaded approach it used with the IONIQ 5.
