The latest piece on Hyundai's EV 'chess board' has arrived. Can it be as interesting to drive as to look at?
We should apparently think of Hyundai’s range as chess pieces carefully arranged on a board. Design chief SangYup Lee wants his cars to share a family feel, but hopes to avoid the cookie-cutter approach some brands have fallen into by attempting the same thing.to every Hyundai, there will also be an obviously different look to signify differing roles and capabilities. This is why the Ioniq 5 and 6 vary so much aesthetically, the former angular and chiselled while the latter is all curves.
Which is only a shame because dynamically there’s plenty to like. The Ioniq 6 launches in two guises; a 228hp and 258lb ft Ioniq 6 RWD kicks things off at £47,040, while the AWD nudges over the £50k mark but offers 325hp and 446lb ft in return. Both claim around 330 miles of range with their shared 77.4kWh battery brimmed. You can top it up nice and quickly given their 800v architecture and its ability to wring the full potential from ultra-fast chargers, too.
Naturally, there is plenty of other adjustment available besides: four drive modes, four levels of brake regen and four levels of electronic powertrain noise. To my own surprise, I liked ‘Minimised’, handily the first notch above ‘Off’.
