You need quite a long car to make one as low and smoothly curvy as this, with its overtones of Porsche from some angles and suggestion of a classic boat-tail rear end thanks to that descending line at the back. As we have already said, it’s a fresh approach that will surely make the Ioniq 6 stand out for all the right reasons.
The design is also good for aerodynamics, a key factor for cruising range. In the past Hyundai has cited an impressive Cd of 0.21 but that’s not been confirmed, only that it “may be Hyundai’s most aerodynamic styling to date”. Surely either it is or it isn’t?
As for inside, the company promises “a mindful cocoon that offers a personalized place for all." The secret? Lots of space, crisp lines, sustainable materials and twin 12-inch displays, along with a lot of connectivity for streaming entertainment through the Bose sound system. That’s all relatively unsurprising, but there are some novel twists inside, too, such as dual colour ambient lighting that allows you to mix and match any two hues from a range of 64. Not only that, the faster you go the brighter they get if you switch on “Speed Sync Lighting”. According to Hyundai, it “adds emotion to the driving experience”.
