Overview

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 offers a distinctive design and a comfortable ride, making it an appealing option in the electric sedan market. For the used car shopper, however, a closer look at its reliability record is essential. While it boasts a strong safety profile with a 5-star overall NHTSA rating, potential buyers should be aware of documented electrical system issues and reports of premature tire wear. These concerns, though addressed by recalls and owner complaints, warrant careful inspection.

Critical Failure Risk

The ICCU manages the charging of the 12V battery from the main high-voltage battery. Failures can lead to the 12V battery not charging, potentially causing a loss of drive power.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$3,000 repair.
