What to expect from the Hyundai Ioniq 6
Hyundai hasn’t been shy in sharing images of the Ioniq 6, so we’ve already seen that this is a sleek saloon-style electric car, long and low, which we’re guessing is where the streamliner name comes from.
It looks really sleek, with Hyundai say it has a really low drag coefficient, which should do wonders for the range.
The interior looks like an evolution of what we saw on the Ioniq 5, with two 12-inch displays, interior ambient lighting and really modern looks. This car will sit on the E-GMP platform and so far we’ve been impressed with models using it – the Ioniq 5, as well as Kia’s EV6 and the Genesis GV60.
The Ioniq 6 looks like it’s going to build on the already solid offering, but stepping into a saloon space where there’s a lot less competition.
