Hyundai has revealed its sexy IONIQ 6 EV


Hyundai has revealed its sexy IONIQ 6, the second all electric IONIQ model. IONIQ 6 is described as an Electrified Streamliner, inspired by Hyundai’s Prophecy EV Concept.

“IONIQ 6 connects an emotional convergence of functionality with aesthetics,” said SangYup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Hyundai Design Center. “The distinctive streamlined design is the result of close cooperation between engineers and designers, with obsessive attention to detail and customer-centric values at the core. We have created the IONIQ 6 as a mindful cocoon that offers personalized place for all.”

 

IONIQ 6 has a drag coefficient of just 0.21, with its low nose, active air flaps at the front, wheel gap reducers, with optional slim digital side mirrors.

IONIQ 6 has over 700 Parametric Pixels in such elements as headlamps, tail lamps, front lower sensors, air vent garnishes and centre console indicator, and the rear wing’s Parametric Pixel High-Mounted Stop Lamp.

Cocoon-like cabin

 

IONIQ 6’s cabin is made to feel personal, cosy, and comfortable. It has been designed with practical features and sustainable materials on a stretched version of the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). The Platform gives the cabin a completely flat floor, further providing a sense of space and luxury..

Controls include an ergonomically designed command centre placed to reduce distraction. The touchscreen dashboard has the group’s now familiar 12-inch full-touch infotainment display and 12-inch digital cluster.

There are no buttons on the front doors allowing more storage.

Eco-friendly materials

IONIQ 6’s has an Ethical Uniqueness theme demanded by eco-conscious consumers. Recycled pigment paint from end-of-life tyres is applied to the cladding, with bamboo charcoal pigment paint to the body.

Inside, more sustainable materials are used. Depending on the trim level, these include eco-process leather (seats), recycled PET fabric (seats), bio TPO skin (dashboard), bio PET fabric (headliner), bio paint derived from vegetable oils (doors), and recycled fishing net carpet — the latter is a first for the IONIQ brand.
