Hyundai Takes on Tesla: Ioniq 6 Outperforms Model 3 in Range Ratings
The upcoming Ioniq 6 sedan's smooth, streamlined profile is all about aerodynamics.
This week, the EPA granted the Ioniq 6 a stellar range estimate of up to 361 miles, three miles more than Tesla's uber-successful Model 3.
The Ioniq 6 also matches the Lucid Air as the country's most efficient EV, according to the EPA.
Hyundai hasn't said how much the Ioniq 6 will cost when it arrives at dealerships this spring.
Hyundai has launched a one-price app-based subscription service called Evolve+ EV, which includes insurance, roadside assistance, and maintenance.
At launch, the available vehicle choices are the Kona Electric and the Ioniq 5, and the service is only available in seven cities across six states.
Subscriptions for the Kona Electric start at $699 per month, with subscriptions for the Ioniq 5 starting at $899 per month.
Hyundai says Evolve+ is better than vehicle subscriptions offered by other manufacturers because subscribers can cancel at any time during the service, and there are no commitments beyond month-to-month payments.
Hyundai used a $47,125 Ioniq 5 as a cost comparison example, estimating monthly purchase payments of $850 based on six-year financing for a customer with solid credit.
