Hyundai has opened UK orders for the updated IONIQ 6, with first deliveries expected in early 2027. The headline price is £33,240, but that includes a £3,750 government Electric Car Grant and applies to the Premium rear-wheel-drive model. The eye-catching 422-mile range is also for that specific version. Here is how the prices and specifications actually line up.
Which IONIQ 6 gets the £33,240 price?
Hyundai lists the Premium 84kWh rear-wheel-drive car at £33,240 on the road after the £3,750 Electric Car Grant. The N Line rear-wheel-drive model is £36,240 after the same grant. The N Line all-wheel-drive version is £43,490, while N Line Evo costs £43,270 with rear-wheel drive or £46,770 with all-wheel drive. Hyundai does not list the grant against those other versions.
The grant applies to eligible new cars and is included as a discount by the seller; buyers do not make a separate grant application. GOV.UK lists the IONIQ 6 facelift in its £3,750 band, but Hyundai's UK pricing release specifies which of its current trims receive that discount. Check the written quote for your chosen model and options before comparing it with another car.
What the 422-mile range means
Hyundai quotes up to 422 miles on the WLTP test cycle for the Premium rear-wheel-drive car with its 84kWh battery and 18-inch wheels. The N Line rear-wheel-drive version is quoted at up to 364 miles, and both all-wheel-drive versions at up to 354 miles. A single range number therefore does not describe the whole line-up.
Hyundai also quotes an 18-minute 10-to-80% charge when using a suitable 350kW DC charger. These are manufacturer and laboratory-cycle figures, not a promise for every journey or charger. Motorway speed, temperature, wheel choice and charging conditions will affect what an owner sees.
Should you order now or compare first?
The updated car is available to order, but Hyundai expects first UK deliveries in early 2027. Ask a retailer for the exact specification, grant-adjusted on-the-road price, finance terms and an estimated delivery window. If you need a car sooner, check what is available to test drive and deliver now.
The earlier IONIQ 6 is already on the used market. Compare the actual asking price, battery warranty and condition of a used car with the new model's final quote. A used car does not qualify for the new-car grant, so compare the amounts you would really pay rather than the headline discounts.
