The most advanced Hyundai ever, IONIQ 6 features the latest in SmartSense safety technology with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

Enhanced SmartSenseTM driver assistance and advanced active safety suite and an Intelligent Front-lighting System contribute to a highly equipped, high-tech package.

IONIQ 6 reimagines the cabin as a spacious and flexible living space featuring a Hyundai New Zealand first integrated Digital Side Mirrors, interactive ambient lighting and eco-friendly sustainable materials.

“We are thrilled to introduce our first-ever IONIQ 6 as the latest addition to our IONIQ range,” Hyundai New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Andy Sinclair said.
