A massive price drop on remaining MY23 Hyundai IONIQ 6 stock. One of the sharpest EV deals in Australia right now.
Dynamiq from $49,990, Techniq $54,990 and Epiq $59,990 drive-away – that’s up to $34,000 off (37% saving).
Highlights include a 77.4kWh battery, WLTP range up to 614km, and a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

True.
If there was ever an example of a situation when a car will unquestionably bomb depreciation wise, it's a 2yr old car being sold as 'new'. IONIQ 6s are as close to universally disliked as a car can be.
Even if these do keep their 5yr warranty, they'll lose another 30% in the first year.
I know nothing about the IONIQ (other than it's an EV from Hyundai), what do people dislike about it?
Sedans seem to becoming less and less popular all the time.
The IONIQ 6 is seen as odd looking by some, ugly by most.
The EV market since 2023 has changed a lot, too many other options now for the same $$.
@illusion99: Of course.
But hey, if people cared more about driving dynamics than practicality we'd all still be driving sedans. Now, almost nobody wants them.
Plus, most (not all) care about how a car looks. This thing isn't popular at all in that regard.
@illusion99: It drives well but main competitor Model 3 and BYD Seal are cheaper with more equipments came as standard.
@matt-ozb: If you can find MY23 they will be. What I'm saying is the old Ioniq 6 price, if I remember correctly, was more expensive than Ioniq 5 (!?) and was way more expensive than Model 3. That's why they sell like a dozen a month. Was like $10k difference compared like to like with Model 3 in term of specs.
@Bigboomboom: The Ioniq 6 has way more equipment than either of them, including VTL (inside and outside car), HUD, intelligent headlights, auto parking, dual 12.3" screens, proper dials gauges and controls, 800v super fast charging (18 minutes from 10%-80%), auto lane change and lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, auto speed sign recognition (and speed change on ACC) over 600kms range, premium sound system, digital side mirrors etc….
@pjm: Mate, did you check the specs of the base model Dynamiq?
No front ventilated seats
No Sunroof
No heat pump
No heated rear seats
Under 200kW Rear motor, I think around 168kW?
Those at $77k D/A when first release vs Seal (Premium) and Model 3 RWD which was around $55k-$60k. Most people buy base models (Model 3 & Y has like 2/3 of the sales being RWD and can't say for Seal but majority would be Premium which is technically the mid version).
And 800V is useless when you charge at Tesla charger, which the Seal is MORE likely to charge faster and Model 3 is much faster. On a road trip good luck to find 800V chargers not having a queue.
You can continue to hype them but fact is nobody buy them at original price. Or you think Hyundai is like some obscure brand compared to Tesla & BYD? Why do you think they still have MY23 to sell now LMAO?
@FXx: The front reminds me of the old AU Ford Falcons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_(AU)
@FXx: What ev car and year would you recommend that will not lose so much value if i sell it in 2-3 years?
@Ozpe1903: If depreciation is a major concern (as it should be) the sweet spot is either a 2 year old car that has already taken a massive depreciation hit, or get a 20 year old shitbox that you could probably sell for what you paid but has a risk of crapping out.
$55k for the Technique is a great buy IMO (Epiq has the stupid cameras for mirrors which I can't stand).
@1st-Amendment: I was about to buy a brand new polestar or kia ev5 but after seeing this crazy depreciation i am
Going to hold off for a
While
@Ozpe1903: There's more and more great second hand deals appearing in the EV space, many people are not getting what they're advertising for too. Focus on the market price offered on CarSales.
This will only get better as so much more product is flooding the market. Makes no sense at all to buy a new EV unless it's novated leased.
@Ozpe1903: A used one since it would have depreciated a lot already. Not even Toyota EV would keep their price after 2-3 years, quite possibly on the contrary.
If these were 2yr old used cars with mileage on the clock and less warranty thats lost 34k in value, id say thats fair.
But these cars come with full warranty and zero on the clock. Decent proposition.
Problem is, initial asking price being too high and suppose to be the starting point.
The batteries are two years old already. They wear down even if not used, but do wear down more slowly.
Like other Hyundais, the Ioniq 6 gets a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. The high-voltage battery that powers the electric motors is covered by a separate warranty, which runs for eight years but is limited to 160,000km.
Nah, lifepo4 has a looong lifespan, unlike lead acid in your ice or nimh from hybrid vehicles. Sitting 2 years in the showroom does bugger all, your first week of testing its 0 to 100 probably gonna do more wear than those idling time
@lgacb08: LiFePO4 does have a long lifespan, but given the Ioniq 6 has an NCM battery that's not going to help.
It's going to be a little degraded after two years, but you do have a battery warranty and you're saving heaps.
@ezzaf: This has a WLTP range of 614km. Even if the battery is little degraded, it will still put to shame a lot of competition.
May be they didnt read the market in last few years and now decided to noe sell them at still what i would say is premium price..
Cause the prices on new cars usually half after 2 years??? What you on about?
serves them right for having to hold that stock for nearly 3 years, car looking like that.
Yeah, and only 5 year warranty with a current class action case against Hyundai for knowingly selling cars with faulty engines. I have first hand experience with these faulty engines, in my case Hyundai actively avoid the issue for years until I sort independent expertise when they caved. While refusing to except fault they replaced the engine under warranty even though the vehicle was out of warranty by 2 years. Would be very careful about purchasing Hyundai products.
Thanks for sharing. They in my blacklist now
Don’t read too much. You’ll be doing a lot of walking…
You put whole brands on blacklists based off a single ozbargain comment? lol
Lucky these don't come with an engine.
Toughen up you marshmallow!
EVs are worse
In what way?
@marshmall0w2: Less moving parts, less things that can go wrong.
The order in which type of car has the most parts
I can understand why it can be confusing, but please don't spread misinformation
@buckster: Except, I'm right. Maybe look these statements up yourself:
PHEVs are not the same as Hybrids.
EV and PHEVs are less reliable than petrol and diesel as a whole
Less parts = less thing can go wrong this statement is false.
And funny how you claim "confusion" when you're the one confused. PHEV is not Hybrid.
Interesting. I was not aware that "plug-in hybrid electric vehicle" was not a hybrid, despite the first result when searching "PHEV" says "A PHEV is a car or SUV that combines plug-in electric power with an internal combustion engine" 🤔
You're always free to research on your own or take my word for it.
I used to do this when someone says this, until I realised those sources usually come from random sites online or the good ol' vested interests media like 7west (with their BS nickle battery "investigation") or NewsCorp (still rattling the cot against renewables)
I've done my research before buying an EV so I'm interested what you've been reading which strongly contradicts everything I've come across from multiple trustworthy sources.
So please, enlighten us with where you got your facts.
@twig: Tsk tsk typical response always playing the card of equivocation and confounding and then dropped random arse claims about "vested interests." I spoke about PHEVs. You brought "hybrid" into the mix and claimed "confusion." A PHEV is not a hybrid as people colloquially know and have used the term for. Why do you think the term PHEV exists and not just "hybrid." A PHEV is a battery-prioritised PLUG IN and not the fuel-prioritised hybrid. If you spoke hybrid to an everydayman, they wouldn't think a PHEV, they would think RAV4, Prius, Lexus RX, etc.
Sources: Simple Google
Next, EVs and PHEVs are worse in reliability than Petrol and Diesel cars.
Oh, and those other regurgitated claims that EVs are even more reliable than Diesel and Petrol? Nope. Misleading. They were talking about improved reliability in… wait for it… not breaking down due to battery out-of-charge "failure."
Read: 1, source about EVs being more reliable than Diesel and Petrol was first started by this blog but has unfounded broken links in their sources, 2 this Reddit post was glazing on EVs but linked an article that was actually talking about batteries and even said EV are "catching up to Petrol and Diesel in terms of reliability", 3 even greenfleet admits this, 4 that EVs are MORE LIKELY TO LEAVE YOU STRANDED due to harder to repair due to lack of standard parts. Good luck getting the right electronics in stock at your general mechanic and not a specialised centre
If you want even worse news, EVs have their own tyres and tyre system that is very, very expensive to replace. They have specialised controllers between the battery and the car that is also very, very expensive to replace. They have unholy maintenance schedules and run costs like crazy that you have to do unless you want to break terms of service and forgo discounted servicing.
Not that I'd buy one of these but you've pointed out a good advantage of buying EVs, Hyundai's ICE engines used to be deplorable and should have gotten more bad press than they did.
I only had good experiences with Hyundai ICE cars. Wife drove a second hand Santa Fe 2.2 Turbo Diesel for 10 years with no issues. Close friend had an i30 for more than a decade and loved it. Other dove a Hyndai Getz with no issues.
Do you know which Hyundai models used to have deplorable engines?
2.0L and 2.4L Theta II engines. In several of their popular models. Hyundai dodged it well, I give them credit for that. Plus the motor media seem to look after them… surprise, surprise.
Too bad for the impacted owners.
Give me a Chinese EV instead, any day.
Pretty much every petrol model. It wasn't the problem with the car that disappointed me, it was Hyundai actively avoiding the issue for so long. Customer service is very poor and that's understating it. Any car can have faults but knowingly selling ones with faulty engines since 2011 is enough reason to avoid.

Just in case anyone was looks at Kia, they are owned by Hyundai, also have a class action against them for the same issues which is not surprising considering they uses the same engines in a few of there cars.
Same, I had the Santa Fe with 3.3L petrol and no major issues for 15+ years 250K of driving
Which engine?
I have a 4GFJ (1.6T) and its been brilliant.11 years old tracked and tuned it even. Found Hyundai coils are a weakpoint.
Nitpick, do you mean G4FJ? Asking because I loved my Elantra SR with the 1.6!
Yes, sorry pre coffee engine code.
Elantra SR underated along with a lot of cars with these engine. Got it to 186kw with stage 2 tune, not bad for a 1.6L.
Ioniq 5 and 6 also have well documented issues with the ICCU (might even be getting recalled iirc). Not a great look for Hyundai.
Same thing with me. Had to take them to VCAT to replace my engine. Would never buy Hyundai/Kia again. Dreadful company.
still too high compare to byd
Democracy premium
100% go with a new BYD
I rather paid a bit more to get the Zeekr 7x.
Looks so droopy
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 has an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.21, making it one of the most aerodynamically…
And the lift/drag ratio?
Bro it's a not plane… drag coefficient is the appropriate metric to measure a car's airflow resistance.
suddenly created a lot of backyard chemical engineer and aorenautical engineers
It's you that brought aeronautical engineering into a discussion about cars…
@SetTheFaqUp: To put it in relevant terms then
The Ioniq 6 is an aerodynamic sedan, giving you better range than an SUV. The "random number" of its low drag coefficient must just be a coincidence.
@SetTheFaqUp: drag coefficient are what aeronautical engineers study.
Drag affects more than objects pushing forcefully through air at altitude
It affects mass against fluid of various densities including air is a low density fluid, water is a high density fluid, , and anything in the middle.
I think of things that stand motionless with air pushing into it hoping to stay in place
Bridges, Buildings
Objects Through air and low to ground
Golf Balls, Cars, athletic equipment
Water provides drag resistance and studied in
Water Passages, flood ways, vessels, etc
seems fairly more broad than aeronautics ,
i'd argue lift coefficient to take off and stay in the air seems most recognisable for aeronautics.
WLTP of 614km…nuff said
Lithium Battery over 2 years not regularly charging/discharging is sending it to death penalty.
I would stay clear
Surely these battery stocks are maintained?
I highly doubt it. Have you seen the holding yards where they store surplus cars? I highly doubt anyone has even touched them since they were unloaded from the car carrier.
I could, of course, be totally wrong, and the sales people are rotating these EV's on chargers every few months, keeping the battery between 40%-60% capacity - which is ideal for storage.
Agree they are not gonna rotate and charge like what you propose. Or update software. Too much of a hassle on hundreds of cars.
MY23 doesn't mean it rolled off the assembly line back in 2023. It's just the design they wanted to sell for 2023.
Check the car you're looking at for the production date, then you'll know.
In any case: with an 8-year 160'km warranty on the battery, it's not a big risk. Worst case would be to spend some time and hassle getting the battery replaced.
It's just the design they wanted to sell for 2023.
And I could be mistaken, but isn;t there an intent with some EV brands to move away for branding model to car years, eg like Windows 95 wasn't just in 1995, it was the version that carried through to 1998 etc. So a "2023 Ioniq 6" might have a 5 year lifespan and still be called a "2023 Ioniq 6" even in 2028? Since EVs are appliances, the only thing that changes over time now is software which can be updated OTA,
Not just EVs. MY means model year. Many cars only get updated every 3 or more years and will have the same MY with different production years.
There's 3 dates to look at. MY for design. Actual assembly date, and then compliance date.
And neither of those will tell you how old the battery is, that could have been sitting in some warehouse for anything between days and many months.
And that's the battery pack. The big question then: when were the cells manufactured. Could again have been days or many months before they got assembled into a pack…
MY23 doesn't mean it rolled off the assembly line back in 2023.
Yeah, it was probably built in 2022 😳

These prices should've been the initial launch price.
Also, it's kinda ugly.
not interested in the Hyundai, but have bookmarked your website.. awesome work mate.. :)
Hyundai is strangely inconsistent with their design. This one is exceptionally ugly and does not look anything like the well-proportioned IONIQ 5.
I was gonna say. Doesn't matter how good the price is, it is not enough to make up for the ugly look.
This is a great call out. I had an IONIQ 5 for just over a month as I battled a big and nasty insurer, and it was incredible to drive. I had the dual motor with the cameras as side mirrors. It was honestly one of the best cars I’ve driven (and I drive an Audi Q5). The IONIQ 6 is ugly AF and the 5 turned heads wherever I went, with quite a few compliments on the car’s looks too.
I actually don’t like IONIQ 5, prefer the 6.
Both are a bit challenging. 5 looks good in pictures but in real life the mass of it makes it look a bit like a six foot tall foetus. Uncanny valley type of thing. I love the GV60.
GV60 is a sexy looking car.
@verio: Don't look at the price tag. GV60 Magma coming. If you thought 5N/6N pricing was high, imagine Genesis hot hatch.
Was in the market for one of these just two weeks ago after writing off my Kona EV and was receiving $55k for demos of the Dynamiq. Would have loved a Techniq for $55k
Went with a KIA EV6 demo for less but imagine a similar cut is coming for them. My timing is abysmal :(
EV6 facelift coming. Also Ioniq 6 facelift. Next year.
Couldn't wait for them unfortunately and not within my budget for where the facelifts will land.
Still happy with the demo, but with the inevitable EV6 cut having the extra 6 months rego, warranty and new for old coverage in insurance would have been well worth it for an extra $2k or so
Over two year old stock. Should be cheaper in my books.
