Rivian R2 vs Tesla Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test! How Is This Even Possible?
Out of Spec Reviews
Expert Pick #06
Hyundai Ioniq 6.
361-mile range, 800V fast charging, and a streamlined design that slices through the air with a 0.21 Cd drag coefficient.
The Verdict.
8.4/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Ioniq 6 is the range champion for under $40K. With 361 miles of EPA range and 18-minute fast charging, range anxiety simply doesn't apply here. The styling is polarizing — it's more streamliner than traditional sedan — but the efficiency numbers speak for themselves. At $37,850, it undercuts the Tesla Model 3 while offering more range, faster charging, and a more spacious rear seat. This is the best-value electric sedan on the market.”
