The Hyundai Ioniq 6 was launched in Malaysia in July, with the 2023 World Car of the Year going on sale here in two variant forms, as an Ioniq 6 Max RWD, priced at RM289,888, and an Ioniq 6 Max AWD, at RM319,888, both on-the-road without insurance.
The single-motor Max RWD seen here in the photos is equipped with a rear-axle-mounted motor, which has 225 hp (228 PS, or 168 kW) and 350 Nm in the way of output, while the dual-motor Max AWD features a motor on each axle, offering 321 hp (325 PS, or 239 kW) and 605 Nm of twist.
Performance figures include a 0-100 km/h time of 7.4 seconds for the Ioniq 6 Max RWD, while the more powerful AWD version reduces the sprint time to 5.1 seconds, with both variants having an identical 185 km/h top speed.
Both the Max RWD and Max AWD versions are specified with a 77.4 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, yielding an operating range of 614 km for the Max RWD and 519 km for the Max AWD, both on a WLTP-cycle, on a single charge.
The Ioniq 6’s 800-volt architecture enables DC charging at up to 350 kW, which the automaker says gets the battery from a 10 to 80% state of charge in just 18 minutes. At 50 kW DC, the 10-80% SoC fill takes 73 minutes, while AC charging at 11 kW takes 7.1 hours to get the battery from 0-100%.
Cheaper options are the Lite RWD (RM219,888) and Plus RWD (RM249,888). Introduced to the local line-up earlier this month, the additions make for a four variant Ioniq 6 range in the country. Both the Lite and Plus have a rear-axle-mounted motor offering 149 hp (151 PS, or 111 kW) and 350 Nm of torque.
The duo is fitted with a 53 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery, which provides up to 429 km of travel range (WLTP cycle) on a single charge. The charging time at 350 kW DC is identical to the Max variants, and
the smaller capacity of the unit means a quicker fill from 10% to 80% SoC at 58 minutes, at 50 kW DC, while 0% to 100% takes 5.5 hours with a 11 kW AC charger.
Standard items across the entire Ioniq 6 range include dual-LED headlamps with intelligent front-lighting and Parametric Pixel LED rear combination tail lamps. The Lite RWD, Plus RWD and Max RWD share the same wheels, in this case 18-inch Aero units shod with 225/55 profile tyres, with the Max AWD coming with 20-inch Performance wheels and 245/40 tyres.
Inside, highlights include leather interior upholstery (except for the Lite RWD, which gets cloth seats) two seamlessly connected 12.3-inch screens, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, 64-colour ambient lighting, wireless phone charging and a powered tailgate. All variants from the Plus RWD on also come equipped with a Bose eight-speaker sound system.
Five exterior colours are available for the Ioniq range, these being Abyss Black Pearl, Nocturne Grey Matte, Biophilic Blue Pearl, Dive Blue Solid and Gravity Gold Matte.

No need worry about charging.Replacing battery which cost a bomb later.Just jump into your ICE cars n drive.
If kena no fuel subsidy next year,so what?U can afford 300k,surely fuel price is affordable.
All these EV craze hype is cooked up by the media n youtubers.Mind u ,it is not cheap to maintain an EV.
Unless tomorrow,oil has dried up,then no choice ,we have to go EV.
Baik beli Audi eTron Q8..
baik beli RR spectre..
Always so outstanding in
Creating something weird
“At 50 kW DC, the 10-80% SoC fill takes 73 minutes, while AC charging at 11 kW takes 7.1 hours to get the battery from 0-100%.” for the best range option Max RWD at quoted range of 614km
Long highway travels usually lead to a drop of 10% if travelling max 110km/h. This works out to a range of 553km. Going faster depletes the battery more rapidly.
As batteries tend to work best in terms of charging speed etc at state of charge of 10-80%, most people on long distance travel will expecting a useable range of 70%-90% This means a practical range before recharging is 387km – 498km
If driven sensibly this car should be able to travel non stop from KL to Penang . The charge to perform the return trip is highly dependent on access to chargers with decent rate of charge in Penang .
EV as is is great for driving around home and office . Long distance still hit and miss .
Search YouTube “Tesla charging queue” to see what is to come during public holiday travels and the need to charge en route
lets accept the fact that highway cruising is not the forte of EV car.
If you are a person on Plus highway more than 7 days a month, just get a Toyota Camry 2.5 and call it a day.
EV is for office workers and tauke in selangor KL penang JB that hardly do any intercity travelling.
@pop, do you have a EV? You talk like sohai. In contrary EV is a better for cruising than ICE. So smooth, quiet and comfortable. You sound like a poor outdated dude
you must be too poor to afford an alphard for highway cruising.
9 years loan for your tesla? LMAO
which covers >90% of use cases

ada tesla x mau this
every people have a choice some people want a tesla but some want a hyundai or a kia it’s people choice
I test drive this car, in reality the design like mehhh but interior fine. The acceleration is amazing for 225hp car. I wonder how tesla base model will fell at 280hp. The range is quite good but but the price is so high. Wise choice will get tesla next year.
Here comes the tesla shills
Good spec but the looks went out the window with this model
it’s so ugly. Everything looks out of proportion
Fugly
290k for KimChi, Eat Me.
a top speed of 185kmph, the spoiler is just a decorative.
I still cannot believe why huge corporation like Hyundai still need to paste Porsche design on this vehicle. This looks like a rip-off Porsche 911 with four doors.
Are their designers running out of idea of designing their own language?
This thing is ugly AF
