The Hyundai IONIQ 6 arrives in Europe with the First Edition and reveals its price

After several months in which we have been able to see the design of the new Hyundai IONIQ 6 up close, and the announcement of a performance version under the Hyundai N badge, the Korean brand has just unveiled its First Edition special edition, a limited run of around 2,500 units that will bring the first examples to Europe of this highly anticipated model from the IONIQ family.

With the order books scheduled to open next Wednesday, 9 November, the new IONIQ 6 will join the electric family alongside the successful IONIQ 5 and other popular models such as the Hyundai Kona, a true reference in the B-SUV segment.

Focusing on the design of this new special edition, the new IONIQ 6 First Edition features a bodywork painted in Biophilic Blue, which pairs perfectly with the new 20-inch alloy wheels in matte black, the side skirts, the rear spoiler and diffuser, or the mirror housings, among other elements finished in gloss black.

More options in the catalogue

Biophilic Blue is not the only colour the brand offers in its palette: buyers can also choose Serenity White in a pearl finish, Nocturne Grey in a metallic finish, or Gravity Gold in a matte finish.

Inside, the new flagship of the brand boasts a very high-tech and advanced interior with premium materials, among which we highlight the new seats upholstered in leather and Grey Tartan fabric, floor mats made from recycled materials with Tartan details, ambient lighting, and a panoramic display that stretches across much of the dashboard, joining the instrument cluster and the infotainment screen.

Long range and power

As for the mechanical side, the IONIQ 6 First Edition uses two electric motors producing a combined output of 239 kW (325 CV), powered by a 77.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives it a range of up to 519 kilometres on a single charge and allows it to charge from 0 to 80% in around 15 minutes.

As we mentioned earlier, the new Hyundai IONIQ 6 First Edition is not an electric alternative for every budget: considering its UK launch price (£54,995), it is quite clear that its price will easily exceed the 60,000 euro barrier.
