Beginning at $41,600 for the SE RWD Normal Vary, the 2023 Ioniq 6 is technically cheaper than the most affordable Tesla Mannequin 3, which begins at $42,990. Tesla presents superior vary and efficiency on the base stage, although Hyundai has quicker charging. Nonetheless, Hyundai notes that this configuration will solely be accessible at a later date and in “extraordinarily restricted portions.”
Issues get extra aggressive with the ‘Lengthy Vary’ variations, with the RWD SE beginning at $45,500. Although it pushes the worth past the Mannequin 3, the 361-miles vary is greater than the smallest Tesla can muster in any current configuration. Stepping as much as the SEL prices $47,700, whereas the Restricted trim is $52,600. Including the dual-motor AWD setup to any of the Lengthy Vary fashions prices $3,500. These costs don’t embody a $1,115 vacation spot cost.
On the decrease finish of the spectrum, we expect the Ioniq 6 is a reasonably stellar worth with lots to supply for patrons in search of lengthy driving vary and a snug journey. Nonetheless, tacking on AWD and Gravity Gold paint to an already dear Restricted trim pushes the associated fee to over $58,000. That is BMW i4 territory!
Tesla’s most up-to-date worth minimize makes it powerful to suggest the Ioniq 6 over the Mannequin 3, however the hole will slender if Tesla loses its tax credit score as a result of the battery is made in China. For the reason that Hyundai is inbuilt South Korea, it does not get the credit score. Good tip: you may lease the automobile and have the $7,500 factored into the funds. If pricing was equal, we expect the Ioniq 6 feels just like the extra premium product, and it is the one we might reasonably drive.
