You can now order the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 in the United Kingdom where it has a starting price of £46,745 and you can only opt for the larger 77 kWh battery pack. The manufacturer’s UK arm calls that it will only bring the smaller 53 kWh pack to this market if there is clear demand for it, although it’s clearly trying to push the more expensive Ultimate, Premium and first edition models in favor of more affordable variants.

The price is for a single-motor, rear-wheel drive vehicle with 228 horsepower and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) in Premium trim. If you want the dual-motor all-wheel drive system that bumps power to 325 horsepower and torque to 605 Nm (446 lb-ft), that will increase the price to £50,245.00. The most expensive variant listed is the £53,745 Ioniq 6 Ultimate AWD.

Hyundai says the 2,500 First Edition cars, which feature unique interior and exterior design elements sold out on the first day after the order books opened in early November (in the UK, Germany, France, Norway and the Netherlands). These will also be the first vehicles to be delivered to customers, sometime between March and April of 2023.
