Inside the SE, you’re looking at cloth seats, but it’s worth noting these are not only underrated for those who live in hot climates, but they come with standard seat heating. You also get a leather-wrapped steering wheel and no other option for an interior color other than black. The driver’s gauge screen and the center infotainment screen both measure 12.3 inches and are seamlessly joined together, as is the fashion right now for higher-end cars, even on the entry-level mode – but the front passenger doesn’t get a power-adjustable seat.
Rear passengers in the entry-level model don’t get much in the way of features, but they do get ample room to relax. It’s surprisingly spacious back there. However, that’s at the cost of just 11.2 cubic feet of trunk capacity; despite there being no spare tire (a ‘Tire Mobility Kit’ is added instead), space is limited.
Where the Hyundai Ioniq 6 truly shines is in terms of tech, with Hyundai’s clear and responsive infotainment system having Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, as well as SiriusXM capability. Safety tech isn’t limited, either, and it includes rear-cross-traffic collision avoidance assist and blind spot monitoring. Of course Hyundai doesn’t market this for premium buyers, so if you’re looking for luxury, skip Tesla rivals and look at a Polestar 2 – just be prepared to pay for it.
