Driving an EV Just Got Easier: the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 is Here with a Whopping 581 km of Range

Introducing the all-new 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE Long Range RWD - the world's longest-range electric vehicle achieving an EPA-estimated driving range of 361 miles (581 km), giving you the freedom to go farther than before. With a combined MPGe (miles per gallon gasoline equivalent) rating of 140 and a single-curved aerodynamic profile that creates Hyundai's lowest-ever drag coefficient of 0.22, it's no wonder why this EV has already gained so much attention. Let's take a look at this in more detail.


The new, all-electric 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 has completed final EPA testing, and the results are sure to stun car enthusiasts. In particular, the IONIQ 6 SE Long Range RWD trim received an EPA-estimated range of 361 miles (581 km). Additionally, the SE AWD trim achieved an impressive EPA-estimated range of 316 miles (508 km).


This is made even more remarkable by the fact that both models achieve an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.22 thanks to a plethora of features, including a low nose, active air flaps, wheel gap reducers, elliptical wing-inspired spoiler with winglet, slight boattail structure, separation traps on both sides of the rear bumper, full underbody cover, deflectors and reduced wheel-arch gaps. Hyundai has truly outdone itself with this exceptional EV model!


“Continually improving the efficiency of our vehicles is always a top priority for our development teams,” said Olabisi Boyle, vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America. “Instead of just adding a larger battery to increase the range, we chose to optimize IONIQ 6’s aerodynamic performance and its Electric-Global Modular Platform for efficiency to produce these long driving ranges.”


The 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6 SE Long Range RWD is an impressive feat of engineering, offering the world's longest-range electric vehicle with a stunning EPA-estimated range of 361 miles (581 km). This EV model has certainly set new standards for future models in terms of both performance and efficiency.
