Hyundai IONIQ 6 Wins MotorWeek Award

The Hyundai IONIQ 6 has been awarded the MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Award for Best Electric Vehicle of 2024. The announcement was made at the Chicago Auto Show.

MotorWeek evaluates new vehicles on driving impressions, reliability, value, and consumer trends. The IONIQ 6 stands out in the EV market for its sleek design, fast charging, spacious interior, and user-friendly technology.

“The Driver’s Choice award recognition for 2024 Best Electric Vehicle from MotorWeek is further proof that the IONIQ 6 is a home run in the competitive EV marketplace,” said Ricky Lao, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “Awards like this help not only reaffirm all of the great work our teams do, they also help raise awareness among car shoppers considering EV ownership.”

“Hyundai has been a true leader in the EV movement, and delivers their latest with some old-school flair, the IONIQ 6 sedan, a MotorWeek Best EV of the Year. It features much the same basic powertrain as their fantastic IONIQ 5 SUV. But the IONIQ 6 is wrapped in very dynamic yet familiar 4-door sedan packaging that makes it even more appealing to us,” said John Davis, host and creator of MotorWeek.

MotorWeek has been reviewing the automotive industry for over 43 years. They test over 150 new vehicles annually to determine the Drivers’ Choice Award winners. The goal is to select vehicles that excel from both an expert and consumer perspective to assist those shopping for a new car.
