Hello.
I’m Uniji (Yuka Post), an automotive influencer.
Hyundai Motor’s upcoming electric sedan, the Ioniq 6 facelift, has caught attention by achieving the longest driving range certification in Korea. Named 'The New Ioniq 6,' this model made its global debut at the '2025 Seoul Mobility Show' last April and is now ramping up preparations for its official launch. It has received certification from the Ministry of Environment for a maximum driving range of 353 miles (568 km) on a single charge, proving its efficiency and marketability at a class-leading level.

The Ioniq 6 facelift achieved this impressive driving range due to the expanded battery capacity. The long-range battery, which was previously 77.4 kWh, has increased to 84 kWh, while the standard model's battery has grown from 53 kWh to 63 kWh. This improvement is not just about increasing capacity; it results from efficiently adjusting the overall design of the vehicle.
The vehicle's curb weight has decreased from 4,255 lbs (1,930 kg) to 4,255 lbs (1,925 kg), showcasing a design strategy that enhances efficiency while maintaining performance. Additionally, examining the driving range certification results for various trims of the Ioniq 6 facelift registered with the Ministry of Environment reveals a diverse lineup: the Ioniq 6 Standard 2WD 18-inch has a range of 275 miles (442 km), the Long Range 2WD 20-inch N Line reaches 295 miles (475 km), the Long Range AWD 18-inch achieves 342 miles (549 km), and the Long Range AWD 20-inch N Line offers 267 miles (431 km).
As a result, the Ioniq 6 facelift boasts a driving range that exceeds the Kia EV4's certified range of 342 miles (549 km), making it the electric sedan with the longest range currently available in Korea.

The Ioniq 6 facelift has improved not only the battery but also the design and convenience features significantly. The exterior has become more sophisticated with changes to the front lighting, spoiler design, colors, and wheels, while the interior design has been upgraded to a more premium feel. One of the most notable changes is the addition of the 'N Line' trim, a high-performance emotional design package. This specification reflects a sporty sentiment rarely seen in existing electric vehicle lineups and is expected to greatly enhance design satisfaction.
Domestic electric vehicle sales have surged by 67%... The role of the Ioniq 6 facelift is crucial, but the variable is its price...
How does the Ioniq 6 compare with its competitors that boast exceptional driving ranges?
The Ioniq 6 facelift has secured outstanding competitiveness in terms of driving range among electric sedans. Compared to competitors like the Kia EV4, Tesla Model 3 Long Range (maximum 328 miles or 528 km), and BYD Han (323 miles or 521 km), it holds an advantage. Not only has the battery capacity increased, but the improvements in interior and exterior convenience features and design also make it attractive to first-time electric vehicle buyers as well as those looking to replace their existing vehicles.
