Hyundai isn’t playing it safe in 2022. Given that the space-age Ioniq 5 hit the ground running as one of the most desirable electric cars of last year, it’d be fair to assume that the new Ioniq 6 saloon would bear more than a passing resemblance to its crossover relative. But Hyundai has severed any visual links to the 5 with a streamlined design inspired by the Prophecy show car of 2020.

Packaging constraints mean that the production car isn’t as svelte as the concept, but its still-sleek looks will help it against the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2 when it goes on sale this year. Thanks to the E-GMP platform’s 800V electrical architecture, the Ioniq 6 can charge at speeds of up to 350kW, enabling a 10 to 80 per cent top up in just 18 minutes. The entry-level model is powered by a 53kWh battery feeding a single rear-mounted electric motor to provide 267 miles of range. But the car we drove is the most potent version available – that is, until a hot Ioniq 6 N inevitably arrives.

For now, the flagship Ioniq 6 gets a 321bhp dual-motor set-up, a 77.4kWh battery and 362 miles of range on the WLTP cycle. Opt for the rear-drive model with the larger battery, however, and that streamlined body really pays dividends, with a claimed range of 382 miles, beating the Model 3. In this first-drive review, Yousuf Ashraf gets behind the wheel to see how the Ioniq 6 stacks up.
