Hyundai Motor Company unveils 'IONIQ 6' design
Hyundai Motor Company unveiled the interior and exterior design of its new electric vehicle 'IONIQ 6' for the first time on the 29th.
The IONIQ 6 is Hyundai Motor's second pure electric model to which E-GMP, a platform dedicated to Hyundai Motor Group's electric vehicles, has been applied.
The IONIQ 6 was born based on Hyundai Motor's new design type, 'Electrified Streamliner'. Streamliner refers to a smooth, streamlined design that minimizes wind resistance.
The front part is applied with more three-dimensional parametric pixel lights to double the futuristic image, and the hood that starts low is combined with the streamline silhouette emphasizing the innovative curves, giving off the impression of sliding through the air.
The parametric pixel, the signature of the IONIQ brand, also draws attention. More than 700 pixels were formed on the front matrix LED lamp of the IONIQ 6 and the rear spoiler.
In addition, the new Hyundai emblem was applied for the first time. The new emblem, made in the form of a thin flat aluminum material instead of the existing three-dimensional chrome plating, stands out with a luxurious texture and a clearer and more sophisticated form.
The sensual curves that cover the sides clearly express the clean and rich volume of the IONIQ 6. The streamlined window line (DLO, Day Light Opening), which seems to imply the streamline silhouette, enhances the practical yet aerodynamic-optimized profile along with the clean design of the built-in flush door handles and digital side mirrors.
The rear spoiler, which catches the most attention at the rear, is combined with a Parametric Pixel High-Mounted Stop Lamp (HMSL) to show a new level of lighting production and give a strong impression.
In particular, the pixel's light blends with the transparent material to express a unique sense of depth. The cladding on the lower part of the rear bumper adds a sporty impression and shows off a unique presence on the road.
Hyundai Motor applied the future mobility design theme 'Inside Out' to the interior design of the IONIQ 6 to create a user-centered emotional space. The cocoon-style interior, reminiscent of a cocoon, provides a comfortable haven for passengers and faithfully serves as an individual free activity space.
The long wheelbase of the IONIQ 6 makes it possible to secure a human-centered interior space, and the flat passenger seat floor differentiated from the internal combustion car expands the usability of the space abundantly.
The interactive pixel light, introduced for the first time by Hyundai Motor Company through the Ioniq 6, displays various information according to the vehicle status, such as charging, power on/off, and voice recognition. Among them, the lighting represented by four dots on the steering wheel is a functional element that breaks away from the conventional logo layout.
In addition, the dual-color ambient mood lamp applied for the first time by Hyundai Motor Company adds a sense of sensibility to the boarding space with interior lighting that spreads like a gentle wave, and allows you to independently select 4,96 combinations of 64 top and bottom combinations. It provides an aesthetically and emotionally rich experience compared to mood lamps.
“Ioniq 6 is an emotional fusion of technology and aesthetics,” said Lee Sang-yeop, head of Hyundai Design Center. will provide,” he said.
Hyundai Motor plans to unveil detailed specifications along with the IONIQ 6 World Premiere in July and show off the actual vehicle for the first time at the '2022 Busan Motor Show'.
