Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM9,112 gap is small beside the different briefs. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N is the quicker car, reaching 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds against 4.15 seconds, and its 740 Nm also beats the Lotus Emeya’s 710 Nm. The Emeya fights back with a 102 kWh battery, 610 km range and 420 kW DC charging, versus 84 kWh, 487 km and 350 kW. Choose the Hyundai for performance and practical rear-seat flexibility; choose the Lotus for longer-distance electric touring and its 509-litre boot.
Pick the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N if 3.2-second acceleration, V2L, a split-folding heated rear bench and remote parking matter more than maximum range.
Pick the Lotus Emeya if you want the 610 km range, 102 kWh battery, 420 kW DC charging and a quoted 509-litre boot.
