Hyundai Ioniq 6 N vs Lotus Emeya
Verdict
At RM449,888 against RM459,000, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is the cheaper car and the quicker one: 601 hp, 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and 257 km/h. The Lotus Emeya answers with barely more power at 603 hp, but its 102.0 kWh battery and 610 km range give it a clear long-distance advantage over the Hyundai’s 84.0 kWh and 487 km. For Malaysia, this is speed and warranty against range and cabin scale.
Pick the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N if you want the quicker AWD EV, the higher top speed and the longer 8-year warranty for less money.
Pick the Lotus Emeya if you want the longer 610 km range, larger 102.0 kWh battery and bigger grand tourer footprint.
