This post isn’t about the Ioniq 6, but in the article you sure can see the difference in range between the 18“and 20” wheels. When the Equinox EV models come out and are EPA tested, we will likely see similar decreases. It might make me rethink my 3LT choice if I cannot get smaller wheels, although adding the options I want on to the 2LT, and seeing what the total cost comparison is, might make the choice tougher.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 Receives Impressive EPA Range Ratings

Hyundai has just announced the official EPA-estimated range and energy consumption ratings for the all-new 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 model.

That is a noticeable difference. And there's virtually no difference between the 225/55R18 and the 245/40R20 tires in terms of actual circumference either so that's all about the weight and rolling resistance, not the number of times the wheels turn per mile.

The 3LT just has so many features I want. If I did my math right for the Ioniq 6 AWD 18” wheels to 20” wheels, it was a drop of about 15% in range.

in the attached picture, green features are what I want, yellow nice to have, red is a negative. Features are Canadian model features as currently shown on the Chev website.

Found in a Reddit comment, a dealer has posted prices:

• 1LT – 250 miles of range, FWD, 19" wheels, 11.5 kW onboard charge, 11-inch diagonal Driver Information Center and display screen, Standard Chevy Safety Assist. $30,000
• 2LT – 300 miles of range, FWD and optional eAWD, heated steering wheel, front seats, and mirrors, front LED light bar, advanced safety features. $34,000
• 3LT – 20" dark aero wheels, black-painted grille panel and lower fascia with sporty flow-through rocker molding, heated flat-bottom steering wheel. $37,000
• 2RS – Reverse automatic braking, head-up display, 21" aluminum wheels, heated and ventilated seats, Super Cruise driver assistance. $40,000
• 3RS – 19.2 kW Level 2 charging. $44,000

I'm somewhat skeptical because they don't look like official prices (they're all round thousands instead of XX,995 or whatever), so I would guess they came from some informal channel and may or may not turn out accurate.

Edit: Also, their 3LT description seems off...aren't the flat-bottomed steering wheel and black grill RS features?

Here are the conversions of the two tire sizes to circumference.

Width (mm)	225​	245​
Aspect Ratio (%)	55​	40​
Rim Diameter (in)	18​	20​
Calculations Below
Tire Sidewall (in)	4.9​	3.9​
Rim + tire diameter (in)	27.7​	27.7​
Circumference (in)	87.2​	87.1​

Note the final circumference. This is an estimate because the tread depth on the tire makes a difference as well. However, the 245/40 tires will be about $100 to $150 more per tire to replace.

They mismatched the 2RS with the 3LT features.

If they can't get the trim info correct, it makes you wonder about the quality of their price info as well.

So, dumb question, do you think Chevy would setup the 3LT odometer differently than say a 1LT based on the wheels? Same goes for trims that allow upsizing the wheels. Or is the assumption that the wheel+tire diameters will be the same, just the sidewall heights will be different?

According to the rep I've talked to, it's the latter. But I'm not sure I trust them... Too early.

So do we know yet the minimum trim level for supercruise, even as an option?

Thank you sir. The answer is 2LT.

I bet this is a variable/constant setting in the main computer that can be set on a trim by trim basis.

If the tire diameters are different, it would seem the most logical.So, likely resettable by the dealer. Would be nice if it was an owner selectable setting.

Correct, However the 3RS has optional 19.2 kW charger.

I really don’t care if it’s a little bit faster charging from home. That was never a problem with my Bolt. What does the DC Fast Charging curve look like??!! That’s all that matters once you are on a long trip!!!

 

[Steverino]

What does the DC Fast Charging curve look like?

We'll probably have details on that once the car is released end of this year.

 

[Roscoe74693]

It seems really strange to me that you have to go all the way up to the 3LT/3RS to get Dual Climate Control.
Anyone else think this is weird? Lot’s of cars just have it standard now, or maybe starting one trim up from the base model. And yet, surround view is available starting with the 2LT/2RS. That seems backwards to me.

I don’t know anyone who even uses their dual climate control feature. It always seemed like more of a placebo to me than real. So that’s probably why it’s only offered as a higher priced (lower volume) feature.

The Surround-view parts might be cheaper.

My wife and I prefer different climate control settings, so separate controls is a nice to have feature for us, Roscoe. Not a deal breaker though.

I use it when I get takeouts. Put the passenger side on full heat (and heated seat) with the food on it, and keep my side at the temperature I want.

or keep grandma warm on mild days when you want some A/C.🤣🤣🤣🤣
