New Hyundai IONIQ 6 range breaks cover
Super IONIQ 6 N sedan teased alongside facelifted range which includes a sporty N Line variant for the first timeHyundai has taken the covers off its updated IONIQ 6 electric sedan range in its home country this week, with a new N Line variant shown for the first time at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show.
During the presentation, the car-maker also teased the inbound IONIQ 6 N, an even hotter, high-performance sedan it says will be officially unveiled in July, and is due to sell alongside the 478kW IONIQ 5 N by 2026.
A snippet of the N’s rear end shows a prominent rear spoiler and blacked-out rump, while previous spy shots have already confirmed huge brakes and loads of air ducting for added aero.
Sporting a similarly slippery silhouette to the outgoing model, the refreshed IONIQ 6 range gets a new ‘shark nose’ face with slimmer headlights, along with an elongated bonnet and black exterior trim that runs along the lower edge of the doors.
Hyundai has also removed the polarizing rear wing and replaced it with a neater ducktail spoiler, while the rear bumper has also been redesigned and accented with a touch of chrome.
In the cabin, a ‘more intuitive user experience’ and ‘improved functionality’ is thanks to a redesigned steering wheel and centre console layout, according to Hyundai, while the climate control display has been enlarged and the doors are trimmed with a more ‘premium’ material.
Meanwhile, the new N Line variant comes as a fresh addition inspired by the high-performance RN22e rolling lab, with a more aggressive and bold exterior.
Wing-shaped bumpers feature at either end, as does a whole lot of blacked-out trim, while a single line emphasizes the side still, to give the N Line a more low-slung appearance.
At the rear, two-dimensional Parametric Pixel lamps are said to enhance its digital aesthetic.
The battery-electric sedan was first introduced Down Under in early 2023 and has since lived in the shadows of its more popular IONIQ 5 SUV sibling, selling just 623 and 374 units in 2023 and 2024, respectively, compared to 900+ IONIQ 5 units sold annually.
