• Hyundai IONIQ 6 named Best EV Executive Car for second year in a row at leading awards
• Judges praise IONIQ 6’s striking design, ultra-fast charging capability and high-tech interior
• IONIQ 6 is available to order from £47,050

Leatherhead, 9th May 2025 – The multiple award-winning Hyundai IONIQ 6 has continued its long run of success by being named Best EV Executive Car at the Great British Fleet Awards for the second consecutive year.

The annual awards are organised by the UK’s leading fleet title, Fleet World, and recognise the finest fleet-focused vehicles on the market, as well as cutting-edge developments in the industry. As in recent years, in 2025 there has been a particular focus on honouring products and services that support operators running safer, greener and more cost-effective fleets.

The winners were announced at a special ceremony in Milton Keynes, with Fleet World’s team of expert judges praising the IONIQ 6 for its sophisticated tech and distinctive design.

John Challen, Editor of Fleet World, said: “Daring to be different, Hyundai was prepared to take a chance with the IONIQ 6, and drivers gave a positive response. Ultra-fast charging and a high-tech interior are just two of the car’s many attributes, alongside striking looks that certainly make it stand out.”

Although the award constitutes a repeat of 2024’s recognition, it actually marks the third year in a row that the IONIQ 6 has been named a winner in the Great British Fleet Awards, having initially collected the Best EV Compact Executive Car in 2023. Other notable successes for the model since launch include being named 2023 World Car of the Year, World Electric Vehicle and World Car Design of the Year, and Best Family Car at the 2024 UK Car of the Year Awards.

Tim White, Head of Fleet, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “The continued recognition from Fleet World is testament to the IONIQ 6’s enduring appeal to fleet buyers and users who want to embrace electrification in style. It offers a winning blend of sharp design, impeccable quality, strong performance and real-world practicality, which is backed up our five-year, unlimited mileage warranty and a fantastic retail network which delivers genuine peace of mind.”

Customers have a choice of either a rear-wheel-drive powertrain offering 228PS and 350Nm or an all-wheel drive powertrain with 325PS and 605Nm. All models feature the long-range 77.4 kWh battery – allowing for a range of up to 338 miles – with the E-GMP platform’s standard 800v charging system providing 350kW ultra-fast charging. Two generously equipped Premium and Ultimate trim lines are available.
