What to Expect from the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 6

The sleek and aerodynamic silhouette of the latest entry in the IONIQ family makes it appear as though it quantum leaped here from the future. Hyundai’s designers call it Emotional Efficiency. Efficiency is quite a theme with this vehicle; while specific fuel economy numbers weren’t announced yet, we do know that it runs on electric power and is even built with sustainable materials.
