The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is one of the most anticipated model launches from the Korean automaker. The production version of the 2020 Hyundai Prophecy concept is ready to be unveiled, as proven by the latest series of teasers, revealing parts of the design. This is the first time Hyundai shows us parts of the production-ready Ioniq 6.
The Ioniq 6 retains a large sum of the
aerodynamic silhouette and sleek surfacing of the concept, while introducing
new styling cues. One teaser shows the mirror-replacing cameras that are
different to the regular mirrors of the prototypes, the front fender and new
alloy wheels looking like they belong to a Hyundai N model. Another teaser
shows the coupe-style roofline and the flush door handles, while we also get to
see parts of the front and rear bumpers. The latter come with a two-tone
treatment and complex intake-style features, combined with pixel-style LEDs.
The most glaring feature is probably the
full-width LED bar that is seemingly integrated into the rear spoiler. We don’t
know if this is the actual taillights or an overly exaggerated third brake
light, but it certainly looks sci-fi, taking the design language of the Hyundai
Staria a step further.
We already know that the Hyundai Ioniq 6 will
be sharing the E-GMP architecture with the smaller Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6, and
the Genesis GV60 siblings. The EV will be fitted with a 73 kWh battery that
will reportedly allow over 482 km of range. Power will come from
either a single electric motor with 215 hp in entry-level
guise, or dual electric motors with 308 hp in the more potent
AWD variant.
We expect to learn more about the Sonata-sized
EV tomorrow, June 28, as hinted at on the official website, with Hyundai ready
to take the wraps off its new model.
