Hyundai Motor Company has revealed the design of the highly anticipated Ioniq 6, the second model in its Ioniq dedicated all-electric-vehicle lineup brand. Ioniq 6, which Hyundai describes as an Electrified Streamliner, realizes streamlined aesthetics and functional efficiency under the design theme of Ethical Uniqueness.
Inspired by Hyundai’s Prophecy EV Concept, Ioniq 6 6 is characterized by clean, simple lines and a pure aerodynamic form that Hyundai designers describe as Emotional Efficiency. Like the award-winning Ioniq 5 before it, Ioniq 6 implements the Hyundai Look design strategy that gives each model a unique appearance.
At the front, the Ioniq 6 is characterized by its low nose, active air flaps at the front, wheel gap reducers, and optional slim digital side mirrors. Further aiding the vehicle's aerodynamic aptitude is its elliptical wing-inspired spoiler with winglet, slight boat-tail structure, and separation traps on both sides of the rear bumper. The Ioniq 6 also integrates over 700 Parametric Pixels in various places, such as headlamps, rear combination lamps, front lower sensors, air vent garnishes and center console indicator.
The Ioniq 6 which is based on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) enabled the designers to stretch the interior, front and rear, to create optimized legroom and spaciousness that lets passengers stay comfortable in the vehicle. The Platform also allows for a completely flat floor.
The user-centric interior architecture is exemplified by an ergonomically designed control unit. The modular touchscreen dashboard integrates a 12-inch full-touch infotainment display and a 12-inch digital cluster. A bridge-type center console provides convenient and generous in-car storage. In line with Ioniq 6’s Ethical Uniqueness theme and inspired by today’s eco-conscious consumers, the designers applied sustainable materials to the exterior, including recycled pigment paint from end-of-life tires to the cladding and bamboo charcoal pigment paint to the body.
The Ioniq 6’s interior is also trimmed in sustainable materials and colours. 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.
Dual Color Ambient Lighting provides overall illumination for the interior. Users can choose from a spectrum of 64 colors and six dual-color themes developed by color experts to help drivers and passengers feel relaxed and comfortable.
The Ioniq 6 world premiere will take place in July, when Hyundai will reveal the full specifications, including its features and advanced technologies.
