Hyundai’s revamped IONIQ 6 premieres with a strikingly modern makeover

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 made a significant splash at its unveiling, boasting a sleek and modern exterior redesign. Electric vehicles are poised to reach new heights of popularity. Here’s a look at the refreshed model.

Here’s an improved version:

Ahead of its highly anticipated debut, Hyundai has unveiled the latest iteration of its innovative IONIQ series: the sleek and sophisticated IONIQ 6.

Launched in 2022, Hyundai’s second dedicated electric vehicle, the IONIQ 6, follows the successful IONIQ 5. Built upon its advanced E-GMP platform, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 stands out as a leader in eco-friendly electric vehicles, boasting an impressive driving range of up to 342 miles.

At a starting price of under $38,000, this model is also remarkably affordable. While Hyundai prepares to introduce a revamped model boasting enhanced range, features, and refined design. The vehicle could potentially feature an integrated Tesla NACS (Navigation and Charging System) port, allowing for seamless navigation and charging experiences.

As we kicked off July, we caught an early glimpse of the refreshed IONIQ 6, with prototype models taking their first spin on public roads. Since its discovery, several specimens have been spotted in their natural habitat, exhibiting impressive camouflage abilities.

Recent sightings provide our most comprehensive glimpse, as the newly manufactured model slowly reveals itself from beneath its camouflage guise. The most significant noticeable enhancement is a dramatic upgrade to the entrance’s overall aesthetic appeal.

Hyundai has refined the entrance bumper and headlights, further enhancing its bold design. With the added sensors at the front, it’s likely that novel advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features are on the horizon.

The latest video release from the manufacturer suggests that the upcoming model’s overall design appears largely similar to its predecessor, with subtle refinements expected to elevate its profile. The revamped IONIQ 6 is poised to debut with a striking redesign of its rear bumper and taillights, harmoniously aligning with the upgraded features at the vehicle’s entrance.

Hyundai’s IONIQ 6 may be primed for an “N” performance boost. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 N prototype has been spotted undergoing testing, featuring striking deviations from its standard counterpart, including a prominent rear spoiler.

The latest iteration of Hyundai’s innovative IONIQ 6 is anticipated to boast an even more impressive feature set, including a significantly larger 84 kWh battery that will provide marginally increased range capabilities.

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 boasts an impressive range of up to 318 miles, representing a significant increase from its predecessor’s maximum range of 303 miles. With an impressive range of up to 342 miles already achieved, the upgraded IONIQ 6 is poised to potentially exceed 350 miles on a single charge.

As a primary, Hyundai’s newly launched IONIQ 5 also features an NACS port allowing access to Tesla Superchargers nationwide? The three-row IONIQ 9, recently introduced, features a locally integrated Tesla NACS port, implying that its successor, the upgraded IONIQ 6, is likely to follow suit.

Hyundai’s upcoming models are expected to retain starting prices stable around $38,000, mirroring the IONIQ 5’s market introduction.
