The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Epiq is the premium specification in a three-grade model line-up and costs $88,000, before on-road costs. 

This dramatic all-wheel drive four-door sedan boasts one of the lowest-ever drag coefficient numbers for a production car at just 0.21. That’s lower than the super-slippery Tesla Model 3 and Porsche Taycan.  

Equipment highlights include dual-zone climate control, twin 12.3-inch screens covering multimedia and instrumentation, sat nav, a head-up display, Bose eight-speaker audio (with digital radio), leather-appointed seats, 10-way power-adjustable and heated front seats, a power (hands-free) boot lid, a glass sunroof, 20-inch alloys, ventilated front ‘relaxation’ seats, digital side mirrors and a battery conditioning system. 

The Ioniq 6 is just under 4.9m long and the wheelbase is close to three metres, so no surprise there’s an impressive amount of space inside the car.

Two permanent magnet synchronous electric motors (one on each axle) produce a combined 239kW/605Nm and are powered by a liquid cooled lithium-ion battery.

Quoted WLTP range for the Epiq is 519km, with combined cycle energy consumption sitting at 16.9kWh/100km.

The Ioniq 6 showcases the latest version of Hyundai’s ‘SmartSense’ active safety suite - Everything from front and rear AEB to a bunch of assists, including lane change, blind spot, rear cross-traffic, and heaps more. No surprise it’s scored a maximum five-star ANCAP rating.

As a small boy James often sat on a lounge with three shoes in front of him, a ruler between the cushions, and a circular drinks tray in his hands. He would then play ‘drivings’, happily heading to destinations unknown for hours on end. He’s since owned many cars, raced a few, and driven (literally) thousands of them at all points of the globe. He’s steered around and across Australia multiple times, spent time as an advanced driving instructor, and had the opportunity to experience rare and valuable classics here and overseas. His time in motoring journalism has included stints at national and international titles including Motor, Wheels and TopGear, and when asked to nominate a career highlight, James says interviewing industry legend Gordon Murray, in the paddock at the 1989 Australian Formula One Grand Prix was amazing, especially as Murray waived away a hovering Ayrton Senna to complete the conversation. As Deputy Editor, James manages everything from sub-editing to back-end content, while creating written and video product reviews, as well as the weekly 'Tools in the Shed' podcast.'
