Overview
- Hyundai confirmed to Edmunds that non‑N Ioniq 6 models are leaving the U.S. lineup, with the Ioniq 6 N slated to arrive later in 2026 in limited quantities as 2025 Ioniq 6 sedans remain on sale.
- The company has not released U.S. specifications or pricing for the Ioniq 6 N, though reporting expects a roughly $65,000–$70,000 sticker when it goes on sale.
- Edmunds notes the Ioniq 6 is assembled in South Korea, unlike Hyundai’s U.S.-built Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9, and reports that import tariffs likely underpin the decision, which Hyundai did not explicitly attribute to tariffs.
- A Korea‑spec preview drive by The Drive describes the 6 N with a dual‑motor setup rated at 641 hp, an 84‑kWh battery, and a claimed 0–60 mph time of 3.2 seconds, with U.S. figures still unconfirmed.
- Early driving impressions highlight sharper handling than the Ioniq 5 N and the use of external sound generators that can be very loud inside, underscoring the model’s performance‑focused tuning.
