Hyundai Motor Company today revealed the streamlined design of its highly anticipated Ioniq 6 ahead of its world premiere.

It is the second model in its Ioniq dedicated all-electric-vehicle lineup brand. Hyundai describes it as an Electrified Streamliner, aerodynamically sculpted and makes innovative use of sustainable materials to reflect today’s EV customers’ values. 

Inspired by Hyundai’s Prophecy EV Concept, Ioniq  6 is characterised by clean, simple lines and a pure aerodynamic form that Hyundai designers describe as Emotional Efficiency. 

Ioniq 6’s electrified streamliner typology and mindful cocoon-like interior embody a silhouette for the new era of electric mobility, while the overall design theme of Ethical Uniqueness reflects Hyundai’s customer-centric commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.

“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 a personalised place for all."

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, giving an expansive feeling.

The Ioniq  6 world premiere will take place in July, when Hyundai will reveal the full specifications, including the electrified streamliner’s features and advanced technologies.
