ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6?
The 2024 Ioniq 6 AWD's recall record demands attention, with five active campaigns contributing to a defect score of 14 out of 20. This mark represents a departure from the previous model year and a primary driver for the 2024 model's overall Safety Index of 84 out of 100, a one-point dip from the 2023 model's 85. Two of these campaigns address the 12V battery system across different vehicle populations. A powertrain-specific recall affecting 2024 Ioniq 6 units concerns differential gear bolts that may not be tightened to specification. Other recalls, for seat belt anchorage and charging port issues, span multiple model years and Hyundai nameplates but still factor into this model's safety assessment. In contrast to its recall history, the crash protection story for the 2024 Ioniq 6 AWD is genuinely strong. Its crash protection sub-score holds at 65 out of 70. The rollover and side impact ratings remain at the top of NHTSA's scale. However, the avoidance technology sub-score is 5 out of 10. The published data indicates robust crashworthiness, but the active recalls and avoidance technology assessment present a more complex safety profile.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 perform in crash tests?
