The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 lineup comes with huge discounts for the new model year. The slippery electric sedan and our reigning EV of the Year sees its base price slashed by $4100, meaning the entry-level SE trim level now starts at $38,615. Its fellow trims also see their price tags trimmed by as much as $3050 or as little as $2450.
What spurred Hyundai to drop the Ioniq 6’s prices? A brand spokesperson told C/D it’s a byproduct of “production efficiencies and scale.” Whatever the case, we’ll never complain about new cars costing less.
Ioniq 6 Price Check
The most affordable Ioniq 6 is the rear-wheel-drive SE with the standard-range 53.0-kWh battery. All other models have the bigger 77.4-kWh battery, which is available on the SE RWD for $43,565; adding all-wheel drive pushes the price to $47,065. Compared with their 2023 counterparts, both are now $3050 cheaper.
The SEL and Limited are the Ioniq sedan’s upper-crust trims, and each sticker for $2450 less than last year. For 2024, the SEL RWD starts at $43,565 and the Limited RWD starts at $51,265. The new discount extends to their AWD dual-motor doppelgängers, which have base prices of $49,895 and $54,765, respectively.
Ioniq 6 Range Refresher
With the smaller battery, the 149-hp Ioniq 6 has an EPA-estimated driving range of 240 miles. The bigger battery helps rear-drive configurations earns estimates up to 361 miles—just know that the available 20-inch wheels shave off 56 miles. The same goes for Ioniq 6 models with AWD, whose 316-mile max estimate with 18-inch rims shrinks to 270 miles with 20s.
We tested a 2023 version of the latter on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route, and it traveled 220 miles on a full charge. A ’23 Ioniq 6 SE RWD Long Range (18s standard) made it 270 miles in the same test. Obviously, the EV sedan’s real-world range is much lower than its EPA estimates, but at least its prices now follow suit.

Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
