HYUNDAI IS PUSHING AHEAD WITH the electrification of its fleet. The latest is the Ioniq 6, which packs game-changing technologies into a sleek streamliner body inspired by the Hyundai Prophecy concept.
The all-electric Ioniq 6 will launch locally in February 2023 as the second model in the Ioniq range, alongside the multi award-winning Ioniq 5.
The product of the Hyundai brand’s imagination, the mid-size Ioniq 6 is the first sedan built on the Electrified-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which brings 800V architecture and the capability for rapid charging from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 18 minutes.
Exceptional efficiency in Ioniq 6, and battery range of up to 614km, is achieved through advanced powertrain technology, with the benefit of numerous aerodynamic styling choices in a streamliner design – for an ultra-low aerodynamic 0.21 coefficient of drag.
Ioniq 6 features Bluelink connected car services with an expanded suite of EV features, and for the first time Over-The-Air (QTA) vehicle system updates.
Enhanced SmartSense driver assistance and advanced active safety suite and an Intelligent Front-lighting System contribute to a highly equipped, high-tech package.
Ioniq 6 reimagines the cabin as a spacious and flexible living space featuring integrated Digital Side Mirrors, interactive ambient lighting and eco-friendly sustainable materials.
“We are thrilled to introduce our first-ever Ioniq 6 as the latest addition to our Ioniq range,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, Ted Lee said.
“Ioniq 6’s 800V EV architecture is just the beginning of the advanced technology, which also includes expanded SmartSense and Bluelink suites, and the capability for Over-The-Air system updates.”
“Ioniq 6 showcases the Hyundai brand’s technological ambition and our commitment to developing sustainable mobility solutions, while giving customers an exciting, accessible and versatile EV,” he said.
