Hyundai’s biggest ever drop of EVs in Australia has been met with a rush of customers eager to get their hands on the top rated Ioniq 5 electric SUV and the newly released Ioniq 6 electric sedan. Unfortunately, the online rush was met with technical issues, leaving some vehicles still available more than 24 hours after the original drop.
The majority of the available EVs were the top-of-the-range Epiq AWD variant, starting at $85,000 before on-roads. The configurator still allows buyers to see what’s available in their state or to Register Interest in a variant/configuration that may not be available.
Last month’s release included just the Ioniq 5 SUV, where 250 EVs were snapped up in only 15 minutes. Similarly, the new Ioniq 6 all-electric sedan had the Dynamiq 2WD variant available through its configurator. This time around it was Hyundai’s most significant drop in electric cars we have ever seen with over 470 vehicles being made available to Australians interested in switching to an EV.
Of the 470, the bulk was the brand new Ioniq 6 “streamliner” sedans. 300 of these examples were available in February with 76% of the total being the more efficient Dynamiq 2WD variant. Only 71 AWD variants were available in the form of 36 Techniq and 35 top-of-the-range Epiq variants.
The Dynamiq 2WD variant offers up to 614 km of range with the single-motor powertrain offering up to 168 kW of power and 350 Nm of Torque. Deliveries of the Ioniq 6 sedan would happen within three months of the order placement.
