This new sedan got a facelift update in less than 3 years since its first launch!

Hyundai has officially revealed the 2026 Ioniq 6 facelift at the Seoul Mobility Show 2025. The updated electric sedan retains its mechanical setup but gets a refreshed design, a more premium cabin, and introduces the sportier Ioniq 6 N Line for the first time.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Facelift: Exterior Upgrades

Hyundai calls the Ioniq 6 an “electrified streamliner,” emphasizing its aerodynamic styling. The facelift draws inspiration from the RN22e concept, featuring a sleeker shark-nose bonnet and a revised front end with slim pixel-style headlights similar to the Ioniq 9. A new front splitter enhances aerodynamics, while the bumper design has been refined for a modern and aggressive stance.

On the sides, Hyundai has tweaked the rearview cameras and introduced new alloy wheels. The black accents along the lower body extend to the doors, enhancing the sedan’s streamlined look. At the rear, the large spoiler of the previous model has been replaced with a subtler elongated ducktail spoiler, complemented by chrome trim on the bumper.

2026 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Line: Sportier Styling

For the first time, Hyundai has introduced an N Line version of the Ioniq 6. This variant gets sportier design elements, including a more aggressive front bumper, N Line badging, unique alloy wheels, and additional blacked-out body panels. Inspired by the RN22e Rolling Lab, the Ioniq 6 N Line features sculpted bumpers and a lower-profile look with an extended side sill. The extensive black accents at the rear and the distinctive Parametric Pixel lamp design further emphasize its bold and performance-oriented appearance. While it retains the same powertrain as the standard model, the N Line hints at a more powerful Ioniq 6 N variant expected later this year.
