Hyundai Launches New IONIQ 6 in the UK Starting at £33,240 with up to 422 Miles of Range

Hyundai has officially opened order books for the redesigned IONIQ 6 in the UK, bringing a sharper look, an overhauled interior, and a larger battery pack that pushes driving range up to an impressive 422 miles. Pricing starts at £33,240, which includes the Electric Car Grant (ECG).

The refreshed electrified streamliner boasts a cleaner and stronger silhouette, highlighted by a redesigned shark nose, slim daytime running lights, and a black lower body garnish extending into the doors. At the rear, the prominent spoiler from the previous generation has been replaced by a sleek, extended ducktail design.

Inside, the cabin gets a comprehensive overhaul. Upgrades include a redesigned two-tone leather steering wheel, digital side mirrors, and a bridge-type center console equipped with a wireless phone charger and physical buttons. The updated dash houses Hyundai’s new infotainment setup, featuring dual 12.3-inch screens with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.

UK buyers can choose from three distinct trim levels: Premium, N-Line, and N-Line Evo. Powertrain options consist of a 225-horsepower rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup or a 320-horsepower all-wheel-drive (AWD) configuration.

The base IONIQ 6 Premium relies on a new 84 kWh battery paired with the 225 HP RWD powertrain, yielding up to 422 miles of range and an efficiency rating of 4.6 miles/kWh. Starting at £33,240 including the ECG, standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, flush auto door handles, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a heat pump, smart regenerative braking, wireless phone charging, over-the-air updates, and a full suite of safety systems.

Stepping up to the IONIQ 6 N-Line costs £36,240 with the ECG, adding dynamic N-Line exterior and interior styling. The range-topping N-Line Evo starts at £43,270 for the RWD version and £46,770 for the AWD variant. It loads up on luxury and tech features, including leather and suede seat trim, a suede headliner, front relaxation seats, ventilated front seats, an electric sunroof, and a head-up display.

Additional features exclusive to the N-Line Evo include a Surround View Monitor, Remote Smart Parking Assist, Parking Collision Avoidance Assist, Digital Key 2, Walk-Away Lock, an exterior Vehicle-to-Load adapter, and a BOSE premium audio system. Both the N-Line and N-Line Evo variants utilize the 84 kWh battery, delivering up to 364 miles of range in RWD form and up to 354 miles with the AWD powertrain. An intermediate N-Line 84kWh AWD model is also available priced at £43,490 with a 354-mile range.

Built on an advanced 800-volt electrical architecture, the IONIQ 6 supports DC fast-charging speeds up to 350 kW, allowing the battery to replenish from 10% to 80% in roughly 18 minutes. Deliveries for the new model are scheduled to kick off in early 2027. Meanwhile, buyers in the US will miss out on this updated streamliner, as Hyundai plans to discontinue the standard IONIQ 6 in the US after the 2026 model year, though the high-performance N variant will stay on sale.
