The EV6 will start at $42,115 and include the $1,215 destination charge. The base Light model has a 167-hp motor and 58-kWh battery pack and a 232-mile EPA range. The model is eligible for a full $7,500 federal tax credit, which would reduce the price to $34,615.
If you are keeping score at home, that is $1,190 more than the Ioniq 5. The Ioniq 5 and EV6 both have the same platform, but the EV6 has a more classic, rounded look.
The EV6 models jump in price. The RWD EV6 with the 77.4-kWH battery pack and 225-hp motor starts at $48,215 and has an EPA range of 310 miles. The GT-Line RWD has more luxurious options but the same drivetrain and starts at $52,000. Both the Wind and GT-Line models can be upgraded to all-wheel-drive. Both models are eligible for federal tax credits.
The Ford Mach-E starts at $44,995 and the Volkswagen ID.4 starts at $39,995, all before any incentives.
The Ioniq 5 is a retro-futuristic winner that offers cutting-edge tech and is a pleasure to drive. The first models of the EV6 are expected to arrive at dealers in the coming weeks.
