Six weeks after Hyundai launched its Ioniq sub-brand that’s dedicated to electric vehicles, the car manufacturer unveiled its Ioniq Concept Cabin, a “vision of future dedicated EV in-car customer experiences.” The Ioniq Concept Cabin was made in partnership with LG Electronics and includes a ceiling-mounted 77-inch flexible OLED screen that pumps sound through speakers in the headrests. This screen will also allow two people to enjoy different content simultaneously.
Elsewhere, the Ioniq Concept Cabin from
Hyundai includes a floor cleaning robot along with overhead UV LED lights that
ensure the cabin is kept clean and disinfected. The press release adds the
cabin also has “Clothing Care” and a “Shoes Butler,” although it’s unclear what
exactly that means.
Hyundai says the upcoming Ioniq 5, an EV
set to launch last year, will offer similar “value-added experiences” as the
ones shown by the Concept Cabin. The Ioniq 5 will take the form of a midsize
crossover and is based on the automaker’s 45 EV Concept unveiled at last year’s
Frankfurt Motor Show. In 2022, the Ioniq range will grow with the launch of the
6 sedan that’s based on the company’s eye-catching Prophecy concept. Two years
later, a large SUV dubbed the Ioniq 7 will be introduced.
