Hyundai Motor Co.'s electric vehicle IONIQ 6 has been named Car and Driver's 2023 EV of the Year on Thursday. 

According to Hyundai Motor, IONIQ 6 was selected as No. 1 out of 14 finalist EVs, including the Audi Q4 E-tron, BMW i7, and Cadillac Lyric AWD. Over the course of three weeks, Car and Driver evaluated the vehicle's value, driving test, new technology in the vehicle, and driving pleasure. 

"IONIQ 6 lineup has available power and range that puts Tesla on notice," editor-in-chief of Car and Driver Tony Quiroga said. "An 800-volt architecture reduces DC-charging times, but best of all, the Ioniq 6 is a car that we love to drive."

Hyundai Motor has been honored for two consecutive years by Car and Driver, following last year's IONIQ 5. 

IONIQ 6 has gained widespread acclaim for its exceptional product competitiveness. It was named as World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle of the Year, and World Car Design of the Year at 2023 World Car Awards in April this year. 

Moreover, the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) selected IONIQ 6 as the best in the large family car category in January.
