The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has been teased for its Malaysian market arrival, with an image showing the streamliner EV’s drag coefficient of 0.21 on the Hyundai Malaysia Facebook page.
The Ioniq 6 had previously been teased in a short video on its page where it was shown alongside a trio of SUVs at the time, the Creta, Santa Fe and Palisade, and the latest teaser suggests that the sleek, all-electric model is set to make its Malaysian debut soon.
Externally, the Ioniq 6 measures 4,855 mm long, 1,880 mm wide and 1,495 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm, and its aforementioned Cd of 0.21 enables an energy consumption rate of 13.9 kWh/100 km, which Hyundai claims makes the Ioniq 6 among the most energy-efficient EVs.
Being an E-GMP platform twin to the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 similarly employs an 800-volt electrical architecture that also allows 400-volt charging. Similarities include the ability to be recharged at up to 350 kW DC that enables 10-80% state of charge in just 18 minutes. For sending electricity in the other direction, the vehicle-to-load (V2L) function in the Ioniq 6 enables it to serve as a power supply, too.
The Ioniq 6 packs a 77.4 kWh battery that offers up to 610 km on a full charge on the WLTP cycle. Top specification for the Ioniq 6 in overseas markets brings a dual-motor powertrain and AWD, with outputs of 320 PS and 605 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds.
Based on our live images of the example shown at the 2023 Bangkok International Motor Show, digital side cameras take the place of conventional mirrors, while the Parametric Pixel design can be seen on its headlamps, rear combination lamps and high-mount stop lamp.
For the front occupants, the Ioniq 6 features a 12-inch digital instrument display and a 12-inch infotainment screen which supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bluetooth multi-connection capability allows two devices to be connected at the same time, where one is for phone calls and the other for media streaming.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
think it should be 13.9kWh/100km. cheers bro..
Actually I don’t get it. Is this Ioniq 6 replacement model for the Ioniq 5 like how iPhones version their phones or it’s more like how BMW does it with X1-X6 serving different audience but here seems the Ioniq 5 and 6 caters for the same segment of users, shares the same platform but both available at the same time?
This is just like how Corolla sedan and Corolla hatchback exist at the same time.
not a replacement – Ioniq 5 and 6 are sold side by side. one is a crossover and the other a sedan. essentially Hyundai-Kia are expanding the eGMP EV lineup to more form factors.
its diff models
ioniq 6 is this four door coupe kinda thing
ioniq 5 is a crossover suv thing
later there will be ioniq 7 which is a three row suv
laaaaaaaaaaa… ingatkan Porsche tadi. cis
13.9L/100km?
Korean version of the Porch Panamera.
it’s sold concurrently – basically it’s so buyers have option of SUV or Sedan.
a lot of manufacturers today use a common platform that can scale across different body types.
i know design is always subjective but i prefer the Ioniq 5. it stands out more and i really like the retro-modern look outside and the interior looks so clean and zen especially with the white trim.
the 6 isn’t a bad looking car at all but the interior just looks like any other car.
looks aside, looking at many reviews of the Ioniq 6 in a variety of other markets, they often mention that the 6 uses a lot more hard plastics inside compared to the Ioniq 5 which has a plusher interior with more soft-touch points.
Things that stand out most obviously are that the entire upper half of the Ioniq 5 door panel is soft touch, while on the 6 only the arm rest is soft and the rest of the door panel is hard plastic.
The centre console of the 6 where the switches are located is also scratchy plastics and the wireless charger isn’t grippy so your phone slides around.
Almost seems like they positioned the Ioniq 5 to be a slightly more premium proposition given that buyers prefer SUVs these days.
