With the fate of the original Hyundai Ioniq now sealed, the company is turning its attention to the upcoming Ioniq 6. As part of this effort, Hyundai has launched a new teaser campaign that says the model will be an “streamliner” with a “simple yet sensuous” design that will become the “silhouette of the new era.”
Unfortunately, Hyundai isn’t showing much
as the car doesn’t make an appearance and the automaker only showed an
aerodynamic shape that looks like it was sculpted by the wind. Of course, the
car isn’t much of a secret as it was previewed by the Prophecy concept and has
been spied on numerous occasions.
While prototypes have been heavily
camouflaged, Hyundai isn’t kidding about the sleek shape as the Ioniq 6 will
have a curvaceous front bumper and headlights inspired by the concept. Other
notable highlights will include a parabolic shoulder line, a four-door coupe
like greenhouse, and a sensuous rear end with pixel-style taillights.
The stylish design will continue in the
cabin as a previous video revealed the model will have a two-tone interior with
a floating center console and roomy rear seats. We can also expect a digital
instrument cluster and a widescreen infotainment system as well as ribbed door
panels with floating armrests.
We’ll find out more when the Ioniq 6
debuts later this year, but the company has already revealed the Sonata-sized
EV will ride on the E-GMP platform and feature a 73 kWh battery pack as well as
two different powertrains. The first has a single electric motor producing 215
hp, while the second has a dual-motor system with a combined
output of 308 hp. The Ioniq 6 is also targeted to have a
range in excess of 483 km.
