Hyundai presents the brand’s second dedicated electric vehicle, the Ioniq 6, providing a personalized space suitable for a variety of lifestyles and based on the streamlined design that maximizes aerodynamic performance and the spacious interior space structure of EV‒dedicated platform E‒GMP, it realizes an ideal driver-centered space.
For its ethical and unique design through energy efficiency and sustainable material usage, Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Ioniq 6 design is human-centric from the start, with the interior space developed simultaneously with the exterior form.
Efforts were made to maximize and optimize the interior space, stretching it at the front and rear, resulting in a unique streamliner silhouette and spacious interior.
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.
The team has created it as a mindful cocoon that offers a personalized place for all.
Brand’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, giving an expansive feeling.
The Ioniq 6 has an ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.21, assisted by its low nose, active air flaps at the front, wheel gap reducers, and optional slim digital side mirrors.
Further aiding its enviable aerodynamic aptitude is its elliptical wing-inspired spoiler with winglet, slight boat-tail structure, and separation traps on both sides of the rear bumper.
Even underneath the car, the endeavor to achieve better aerodynamics is evident in the full cover of the undercarriage, optimized deflectors and reduced wheel-arch gap.
IONIQ 6 is designed and engineered to seamlessly enhance our daily lives as a space to awaken people’s potential.
The innovative interior is meticulously thought out as a cocoon-like personal space, enhanced with the latest technologies to create a safe, fun, and stress-free driving experience.
The spacious interior, with sustainability and usability at its heart, represents a step forward for electric vehicles.
Unlike other cars, the top of the door trim of the Ioniq 6 does not have buttons on the armrests or separate storage space.
This is because the development team considered interior space and usability, such as moving the window switch to the center console so that owners can configure the space according to their personal taste and use without being bound by a specific frame.
Various accessories can be mounted on the door trim of the IONIQ 6 using a dedicated metal clip. For example, the sunglasses case may be mounted on the driver’s door trim, and the cup holder may be mounted on the passenger’s door trim.
The Dual Color Ambient Lighting allows a driver to customize the look and feel of the interior cabin by selecting from a spectrum of 64 colors and six pre-selected themes. The Speed Sync Lighting mode adds emotion to the driving experience by changing the brightness of the interior lighting in the first row based on the vehicle’s speed.
Further, with IONIQ 6, the brand is sharing the vision of a high-performance driving experience with EV with the customers.
