Hyundai Ioniq 6 Is The Highest-Ranking Mass-Market BEV

As per the official press release, the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study concluded that the Hyundai Ioniq 6 had a standout performance in terms of design, range, quality and cost of ownership. The comprehensive annual study evaluates consumer satisfaction with their new electric vehicles based on real-world ownership experiences. This even takes into account driving enjoyment, charging convenience, range and overall vehicle quality.

The primary factors contributing to this include the impressive range of up to 343 miles (552 km) on the single charge as per the EPA estimates. This is valid for the SE RWD variant. Clearly, this gives a lot of peace of mind to the owners. Apart from that, the sleek and aerodynamic styling improves efficiency by reducing drag coefficient. Then, to ensure quick stops between charging occasions, the 800-volt architecture enables 10%-80% juice-up in just 18 minutes with 350 kW DC charging.

Finally, we know that the Korean auto giant is known for offering the latest tech and convenience in-cabin amenities to pamper the customers. It is no different with the Ioniq 6. Elements like Hyundai SmartSense safety features and an intuitive infotainment system offer the passengers the utmost comfort and safety. All this contributed to the Ioniq 6 scoring over 26 points above the category average.
