Hyundai IONIQ 6 Expected to Launch in India on March 15, 2026
Hyundai is expected to expand its electric vehicle portfolio in India with the introduction of the Hyundai IONIQ 6. The premium electric sedan is expected to launch in India on March 15, 2026, with an estimated price of around Rs. 65 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, the IONIQ 6 will be positioned as Hyundai’s flagship electric sedan for the Indian market.
The model is likely to be brought to India as a Completely Built Unit, placing it above Hyundai’s mass-market electric offerings. It will primarily target buyers looking for a long-range, design-focused electric sedan in a segment that is currently dominated by electric SUVs.
What Is Known So Far
Hyundai has not officially confirmed India-specific specifications or variant details for the IONIQ 6. However, the model is already on sale in several global markets and is positioned internationally as a premium electric sedan that focuses on efficiency, comfort, and advanced technology.
Based on its global positioning, the India-bound version is expected to prioritise long driving range, a high-quality cabin experience, and advanced safety systems. The IONIQ 6 is also expected to play an important role in strengthening Hyundai’s premium electric vehicle image in India.
Design and Styling Expectations
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is globally recognised for its aerodynamic sedan design, which has been developed to minimise drag and maximise efficiency. This distinctive silhouette is expected to remain unchanged for the Indian market.
The exterior design is expected to feature a flowing coupe-like roofline, pixel-inspired LED headlamps and tail lamps, flush door handles, and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels. At the rear, the sedan is likely to feature integrated spoiler elements and clean design lines, giving it a sporty yet elegant appearance. Overall, the IONIQ 6 is expected to appeal to buyers who prefer a sleek and futuristic sedan over a bulky SUV.
Interior and Feature Expectations
Inside, the IONIQ 6 is expected to offer a minimalist yet premium cabin with a strong focus on digital interfaces and sustainability. Hyundai’s flat-floor electric platform should also translate into better space utilisation, especially for rear-seat passengers.
Expected features include large digital displays for infotainment and the driver interface, connected car technology, ambient lighting, premium upholstery using sustainable materials, and advanced voice and touch-based controls. Hyundai may also fine-tune certain comfort features to better suit Indian driving conditions and ownership patterns.
Battery, Range, and Charging
Globally, the IONIQ 6 is based on Hyundai’s E-GMP electric platform, which supports high-capacity battery packs and fast charging. For India, Hyundai is expected to offer the long-range configuration to justify the premium pricing.
The electric sedan is expected to deliver a global-spec WLTP range of over 600 km, with rear-wheel drive as the standard configuration. Fast charging support is expected to be a key highlight, allowing quicker charging using compatible DC fast chargers and making the car more usable for long-distance travel.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is expected to be a major focus area for the Hyundai IONIQ 6. The sedan is likely to be equipped with multiple airbags and a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems.
Expected safety features include autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane centring assist, blind spot monitoring, and other active safety technologies. These features are expected to position the IONIQ 6 among the most technologically advanced electric sedans expected to arrive in India.
Expected Price and Market Position
With an estimated price of around Rs. 65 lakh, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 will be positioned firmly in the premium electric vehicle segment. It is expected to appeal to buyers who prefer a sedan body style over SUVs and are looking for a combination of long driving range, distinctive design, and advanced technology.
The IONIQ 6 is likely to attract early electric vehicle adopters, premium ICE sedan owners planning to switch to electric mobility, and buyers seeking a unique alternative to luxury electric SUVs.
What to Expect Next
As the expected launch date approaches, Hyundai is likely to reveal more details regarding India-specific variants, confirmed specifications, pricing, and booking timelines. Until then, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 remains one of the most anticipated upcoming premium electric sedans for the Indian market.
