Hyundai Australia is now accepting orders for the upgraded version of its Ioniq 6 fully-
electric sports sedan, with delivery planned for the first quarter of next year.
The current Ioniq 6 arrived here earlier this year to join its sibling, the Ioniq 5 crossover
SUV, in Hyundai’s electric vehicle sub-brand range.
As before the 2024 Ioniq 6 comes with a choice of three variants but with a new entry-level
model, just called Ioniq 6, replacing the previous mid-spec Techniq and joining the
continuing Dynamiq and Epiq models.
The addition of the new range-opening Ioniq 6 brings the starting price down to $65,500
plus on-road costs, around $8500 cheaper than the current entry-level Dynamiq but with a
smaller battery and less-powerful motor.
The rear-wheel drive entry-level Ioniq 6 gets the choice between a new standard range
53.0 kWh battery that generates 111 kilowatts for a range of 429 km and the existing
extended range 77.4 kWh battery with 168 kW and up to 614 km.
The Dynamiq and Epiq models get the 77.4 kWh extended-range battery either with the
single rear-wheel motor or the addition of a front motor providing AWD and a combined
239 kilowatts of power.
Driving range with the AWD set-up is listed at 519 km with the standard 20-inch wheels.
The standard Range battery option maintains the ultra-fast charging benefits of the 800V
E-GMP architecture, to allow a charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes
when connected to a 350kW charger.
Key changes in the 2024 Ioniq 6 include a standard battery conditioning system that can
activate in cold climate conditions to heat the battery for improved DC charging and driving
performance.
Battery conditioning can also pre-heat the battery in preparation for fast charging when a
DC charger is set as a destination in the navigation.
Cabin heating in is handled by a high-efficiency heat pump system, which takes the place
of a conventional electric heater. The heat pump utilises waste heat energy from other
systems, as well as energy from the atmosphere, to warm the cabin in an advanced
reverse cycle air-conditioning system. Energy saved by utilising the heat pump serves to
extend driving range.
A Vehicle-to-load (V2L) feature is standard from inside the Ioniq 6 but as an accessory
from outside.
The Standard Range battery option maintains the ultra-fast charging benefits of the 800V
E-GMP architecture, to allow a charge from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes
when connected to a 350kW charger.
The new line-up further improves customer accessibility by improving eligibility to the
various government subsidies and stamp duty exemptions available in selected states and
territories across Australia.
