Is it the right vehicle for your adventures around Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas, or Benbrook, TX?

If you’re considering your first electric vehicle, let the Hyundai IONIQ 6 be the one. Hyundai has engineered this vehicle to be the electric sedan of electric sedans, with its impressive driving range and instantaneous power output. One look at this sedan’s power generation, and you’ll understand how easily it leaves its competition in the dust.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 has two electric motor options (a single and a dual motor). The standard range, single-motor option is 111kW, producing 149 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. One trim-level upgrade grants you a 168kW motor, 225 horsepower, and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both options pair with rear-wheel drive (RWD).
Drivers looking to experience the IONIQ 6’s full potential should choose the dual motor, which combines the 168kW motor with a 74kW motor to produce a whopping 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque! HTRAC All Wheel Drive (AWD) comes standard with this option. Get ready for a swift kick of acceleration that will energize you day and night.
Electric vehicles are double threats. They expel tons of power for an adrenaline-inducing drive experience. They also swap gasoline for electric charge, which extends their on-road longevity. How far can the IONIQ 6 travel before needing to recharge?
- Standard Range with RWD: EPA-estimated 240 miles*
- Extended Range with AWD: up to EPA-estimated 361 miles*
You can drive hundreds of miles without recharging? The opportunity door is wide open! Where will you venture first? Wherever your heart leads, you’ll be well-prepared to tackle your needs, the roads, and weather conditions thanks to Drive Mode Select. Select from Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, or My Mode to carry onward in your way.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 displays its thoughtful simplicity through its futuristic lounge interior. What does that mean exactly? It means you can expect next-level comfort from this electric sedan. After all, your comfort and convenience are top priorities for Hyundai.
The IONIQ 6 has a unique, curved frame to improve its aerodynamics. How does this affect its interior? You’ll have an 11.2-cubic foot trunk for personal belongings and extra room in the “frunk” (front trunk). You and your passengers will share 103 cubic feet of interior space, which pans out to these impressive dimensions:

|---|---|---|
| Headroom (front/rear) | 40.2/36.9 inches | |
| Legroom (front/rear) | 45.4/34.7 inches | |
Did you notice that it has 45.4 inches of front legroom? Now, that’s passenger dedication! This allotment of space will come in handy during road trips. When you’ve stopped to recharge, you can easily kick back, stretch, and enjoy some R&R right from your throne.
Let’s enter the futuristic lounge interior, shall we? All seats are swathed in stain-resistant cloth, which is as helpful as it is supple. If your kiddo spills something in the back, your dog jumps into the back with their muddy paws, or your latest adventure gets extra wild, no biggie!
The following creature comforts come standard, too, so you can enjoy the open road to the fullest:
- 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar support
- Heated front seats
- Dual-zone automatic temperature control
Do high temperatures and the boiling sun have you rescheduling your plans? No need! The available ventilated seats will help you catch some reprieve after you catch some rays. Do you wish you could set your car-aoke stage? With the available dual-color speed-sensing ambient lighting, you can!
You’re the captain of your adventures, so you need a comprehensive cockpit to help you sail safely. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 offers the latest technology in infotainment and driver assistance. You’ll have many ways to stay entertained on your journey and feel wholly at peace.

Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® are standard integrations, helping you pair your smartphone in a snap. Behind the wheel, you’ll find a 12.3-inch instrument cluster.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 gives you a digital copilot in the form of Dynamic Voice Recognition. This feature listens to your commands and completes them while you leave your hands on the wheel. You can even ask this feature to roll down your windows or pop the trunk!
Every IONIQ 6 trim level has Hyundai SmartSense, a comprehensive safety suite that boosts your confidence behind the wheel, prevents and mitigates accidents, and keeps you within your lane—even while using cruise control! The following features come standard:

When you think of electric vehicles, your mind may jump to Tesla. After all, cars like the Tesla Model 3 have paved an excellent path for the future of automotive electrification. However, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 is about to set a new standard. With greater electric range, more personalization, and a complete cockpit, the IONIQ 6 deserves to jump to the forefront.
