As soon as South Korea's Hyundai Ioniq 6 AWD pure electric vehicle hit the road, its streamlined coupe appearance immediately attracted countless attention.

The highlight of this car is at the rear. The matrix dot-shaped LED light group forms a through-type light strip. The double-layer rear wing has a very special shape, which has the shadow of the classic Porsche 911 sports car. Matrix LED light sets are also used on both sides of the closed front face, and the body's back angle is extremely large, giving it a sporty feel. The length, width and height of the car are 4855/1880/1495 mm, and the wheelbase is 2950 mm.

The reporter tested the Ioniq 6 AWD in South Korea and locally. It is equipped with dual motors and a 77.4kWh lithium battery pack, with a maximum power of 320hp and a maximum torque of 605Nm. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 5.1 seconds, which is slightly slower than the 3.8 seconds of BYD Seal AWD.

The body is stable and has no bumpy feeling

Ioniq 6 AWD has three driving modes: energy saving, normal and sport. As soon as you step on the accelerator in normal mode, power bursts out, instantly propelling the car forward. The steering feels very light but precise, and the car responds positively to every turn.

The reporter drove the Ioniq 6 AWD from his home in Jurong to and from Changi Airport. When speeding on the highway, the car body was very stable without any bumps. The interior of the car was also very quiet, with almost no wind or other noise. The sound insulation effect was excellent.

Once the sport mode is turned on, the car immediately enters a more aggressive and dynamic state. The throttle response instantly becomes sharper and faster, the 320hp horsepower is fully released, and the acceleration feels stronger, bringing the driver into a more immersive driving pleasure.

The interior design is simple and stylish, equipped with dual screens. (provided by car dealer)

In terms of interior, Ioniq 6 AWD is mainly made of plastic materials and has a simple and stylish design. The car is equipped with dual screens, including a 12.3-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch instrument display.

The central control screen can be wired to connect to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a row of physical buttons below to control settings, volume, media, parking images, etc. Below the physical buttons is the air-conditioning control panel, which uses touch buttons for smooth operation.

The window button is not on the door

What's special is that the window lift button is installed at the front of the armrest box instead of on the driver's door, which takes some getting used to. Another feature is that the car uses a Bose advanced audio system, which has been carefully adjusted and has great sound quality, taking the driving experience to a whole new level. The car has a sunroof that can bring in sunlight, making the interior of the car more spacious and brighter, and can be opened if ventilation is needed.

The front seat is equipped with a wireless charging slot and two USB-C charging ports, and the back seat has an air-conditioning outlet and two USB-C charging ports. Although it is a fastback coupe, rear passengers still have enough leg and headroom, so it is not a problem to seat three adults. However, compared with the Ioniq 5’s rear compartment capacity of 527 liters, the Ioniq 6 AWD’s capacity has shrunk significantly to only 401 liters, which is smaller than the Polestar 2, Tesla Model 3, etc.
