The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has always been a compelling choice for Australian EV buyers who want something a little different from the typical SUV. With its unique, aerodynamic “streamliner” design, it offers a blend of style, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology that sets it apart. Now, with the refreshed 2025 model year arriving in the second half of 2025, it’s set to be an even more attractive package.

Just like its sibling, the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 is built on the brand’s versatile E-GMP platform. This foundation is a game-changer, giving the car an 800V architecture that allows for incredibly fast DC charging speeds up to 233 kW. This means you can get a 10-80% charge in a remarkable 18 minutes, making long road trips a breeze. The car also comes standard with V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality, which can supply up to 3.6 kW of power to external devices, turning your car into a mobile power source.

The most notable thing about the Ioniq 6’s sleek design is its incredible efficiency. Thanks to its low drag coefficient, it offers a superior driving range from the same battery packs as the Ioniq 5. For the 2025 model year, the lineup has been refined to offer a clear choice for buyers. The lineup now includes a standard-range rear-wheel drive model with a 53 kWh battery, and an extended-range rear-wheel drive model with a larger 77.4 kWh battery. The Dynamiq and Epiq variants also use the larger battery pack, and can be optioned with a powerful all-wheel drive dual-motor system for increased performance. The extended-range rear-wheel drive model now boasts a WLTP range of up to 614 km, making it one of the longest-range EVs available in Australia.

The 2025 refresh brings a number of subtle but impactful updates. On the outside, the Ioniq 6 gets a refreshed front and rear end, with a more pronounced ‘shark-nose’ and a sleeker ducktail spoiler, making its design even more refined. Inside, you’ll find a redesigned steering wheel and center console, as well as an updated infotainment system that now includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. These changes are designed to improve both the car’s aesthetics and its overall user experience. With its blend of advanced technology, exceptional efficiency, and stylish design, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 is a truly compelling choice in the EV sedan market.
