Hyundai IONIQ 6 is coming soon. The IONIQ 6 is hyundai's second electric vehicle to use the pure electric vehicle platform "E-GMP". The IONIQ 6 attracted a lot of attention before it was launched, as it was expected to apply the design of the Propeci concept car announced in 2020.
According to overseas media reports such as Motor One, Li Xiangye, head and vice president of Hyundai Motor Design Center, said, "We will launch a new electric vehicle in a few months." While he didn't mention the specific model, it was most likely the IONIQ 6. In addition, with the news of trial production in South Korea, it has gradually become a fact. According to the automotive industry, Hyundai Motor is known to be piloting the IONIQ 6 at its Asan plant. After the completion of the test production, Hyundai Motor Company paid close attention to confidentiality by covering camouflage film, stopping part of the production line at the Asan plant, and controlling access.
IONIQ 6 has attracted a lot of attention and is expected to apply the Propeci concept design. The Propeci Concept is an upgraded version of Hyundai's electric vehicle design concept "Sensuous Sportiness". Inspired by the aerodynamic design, it manifests itself in a soft and elegant way. In particular, the design of the slipback is very similar to the style of Porsche, and it is said that some of the production processes of the body are also similar to the Porsche 911.
If you look at the recent spy photos taken overseas, it is roughly the same route shown in propeci concepts. Unlike the concept car, the IONIQ 6 is 4 doors. The long wheelbase and interior space retain the characteristics of electric vehicles.
In terms of headlight design, it is expected to be similar to the Iwaiq 5 design, with a pixelated design.
In terms of batteries, the 77.4kWh capacity battery equipped with the Kia EV6 and the new IONIQ 5 is likely to be used in the IONIQ 6. Since it is a sedan style that maximizes aerodynamics, the mileage is expected to be longer than the IONIQ 5. Foreign media mentioned that it can travel more than 500 kilometers.
The powertrain consists of a single motor and a dual motor. The exact specifications have not been published, but can be inferred from the EV6. The EV6 Long Range 2WD has a maximum output of 229 hp and a maximum torque of 35.7 kg.m, while the Long Range 4WD produces 325 hp and 61.7 kg .m, respectively. In addition, the official did not mention, but it is expected to add high-performance N models such as the EV6 GT in the later period. Hyundai is currently preparing the IONIQ 5N with dual motors. It has a maximum output of 577 hp and a maximum torque of 75.5 kg.m.
Recently, Hyundai Motor Company's IONIQ 5 has won awards in several places, including Germany, thereby increasing the sales of Hyundai's pure electric vehicles. If IONIQ 6 also receives praise, then Hyundai's influence in the pure electric vehicle market is even greater.
And if IONIQ 6 is also successful, then IONIQ 7 is not far off. The IONIQ 7 is said to be a large SUV that will be released in 2024.
