Verdict
At RM449,888, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N undercuts the Lotus Emeya by RM9,112 and is the sharper performance choice: 0-100 km/h takes 3.2 seconds against 4.15 seconds, with 740 Nm versus 710 Nm. The Emeya answers with a 102 kWh battery, 610 km range and 22 kW AC charging, against the Hyundai’s 84 kWh, 487 km and 11 kW. For Malaysian long-distance use, that extra 123 km matters. But the Hyundai also brings V2L, split-folding rear seats and remote parking assist.
