- 2024 Ioniq 6 range now starts at $65,500
- Standard range battery drops entry price by $8500
- Heat pump and battery conditioning built in for 2024
- AWD now optional on Dynamiq; RWD Epiq also available
Hyundai has followed up 2024 Ioniq 5 updates with a similar restructuring of the Ioniq 6 sedan range with a lower entry price angled at both the Tesla Model 3 and government incentives.
The new Ioniq 6 base model with its 53kWh battery starts at $65,500 before on-road costs, making it $100 more than a Model Y and $3600 dearer than the base Model 3 sedan. Pricing is up by $2500-$3500 for existing trims.

Known simply as the Ioniq 6, the new variant is powered by a 111kW rear-mounted motor and carries a 429km WLTP driving range rating. That’s 57kW and 285km less than the extended range 77.4kWh cars.
The Ioniq 6 standard range figures are still some way adrift of the base Model 3's 491km range rating. Since March, Hyundai has sold 468 Ioniq 6s, making it the 19th best-selling EV in Australia.
Hyundai has implemented a heat pump and improved battery conditioning for the minor model year update, as well as offering more choice, including AWD for the Dynamiq and rear-wheel drive on the flagship Epiq trim. The Techniq grade is gone entirely.
“The revised and upgraded line-up for 2024 Ioniq 6 enhances the accessibility and value of our reigning World Car of the Year, while bringing our vision for clean mobility ever closer," said Hyundai Australia CEO Ted Lee.

Powertrains, charging, and driving range
The new standard range Ioniq 6 is available exclusively with a single rear-mounted motor producing 111kW and 350Nm.
It's hooked up to a 53kWh NMC battery (rather than the Model 3's LFP item) that provides 429km driving range in WLTP combined testing. Although the standard range uses the same 800-volt architecture, its 10-80 per cent ultra-rapid charge time is still 18 minutes – no faster than the larger battery.
The base car is also available with the same 77.4kWh battery and 168kW/350Nm motor as before for a 614km of driving range.
With the Dynamiq moving to larger 20-inch alloys shod in performance-oriented tyres, its range drops significantly to 545km. It's now available with the twin-motor 239kW and 605Nm as well.
All-wheel drive versions all carry a WLTP-rated electric driving range of 519 kilometres.
