The Hyundai Ioniq 6 Coming. The all-new electric sedan is part of the Hyundaitheir ambitious move towards distinctively stylish electric cars, with platforms shared with the company Ioniq 5 as Kia EV6all built on modular E-GMP . Platform. OH! And maybe even high performance “N” version of the Ioniq 6 also coming. Add to that in a bit.
Ioniq 6 from outside
The first thing you notice when you look at the Ioniq 6 is extreme tear silhouette. It looks like something between First generation Mercedes CLS and a Porsche 911. It works, both visually and functionally – the teardrop is the most efficient for aerodynamics, that’s the name of the game EV battery range.
Like it Ioniq 5 brother, the 6 continues the color theme in the headlights and taillights, giving it a vintage vibe.

You are also sure to notice very The long wheelbase, which is more than 116 inches, makes the passenger compartment as spacious as possible. Overall, the Ioniq 6 is slightly longer than 191 inches and just under 59 inches tall, creating a sleek exterior.
Interior of Ioniq 6
While it may look nice on the outside, the inside is where Hyundai wants to draw attention with the 6. During a virtual car presentation for journalists, a Hyundai representative described the interior of the Ioniq 6 as “cozy”. and “cocoon-like” while still feeling spacious. .
Like most luxury cars on sale today, the Ioniq 6 has Ambient light changes color, with 64 colors to choose from and separate upper and lower color areas. If it’s too much to think about, you can switch it to automatic mode, where the car will choose colors for you based on how you drive.
Obviously I haven’t sat in a chair yet, but the Hyundai is all about the optional “relaxing comfort seats,” designed to help you wind down after a stressful day looking for an EV charger. These seats are also said to be 30% thinner than standard seats, to open up more space for passengers in the interior.
Technology in Ioniq 6
The dashboard has two 12-inch screens – one for the dashboard and one for the infotainment. They’re straight out of the Ioniq 5, which makes sense considering the two cars share a lot under the skin (6 rides on a stretched 5 platform). It has all the driving aids you’d expect in mid-priced family cars, and the Ioniq 6 will also have constant updates when Hyundai wants to send you new stuff.
From a powertrain perspective, the Ioniq 6 will use a 77.4 kWh battery pack with a promised 379-mile range. It will also offer 800-volt ultra-fast charging, which is claimed to boost the Ioniq 6 from 10 to 80% in just 18 minutes, provided you can find a capable charger.
That battery will power a rear- or all-wheel-drive setup, the latter providing a total of 320 hp and 446 ft-lb of torque and enough power for 0-62 speeds. mph in just 5.1 seconds.
When will Ioniq 6 arrive?
Hyundai tells us production will begin sometime in the third quarter of this year, but North American specification cars won’t enter production until early 2023. The car you see here not exactly what we’ll get in the US – for example, our market won’t have the rearview mirror based on the cameras and screens you see here – but Hyundai couldn’t provide details Exactly how things will change on North American models.
For a high-performance variant… Hyundai’s only comment is “never say never.” Some types of female electric cars will be revealed on July 14, so definitely stay tuned for that. If it’s anything like Veloster, Elantra and Kona FEMALE car, it will definitely be a hoot to drive.
