Following it’s design reveal last month, Hyundai has unveiled more details and specs about their new Ioniq 6.
“IONIQ 6 is the next ambitious step forward in Hyundai Motor’s strategy to accelerate its transition to electrification and into a position as a global leader in EVs,” said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO, Hyundai Motor Company. “The IONIQ 6 Electrified Streamliner will provide a unique and distinctive experience for drivers and passengers, optimized in every way to redefine electric mobility.”
The Ioniq 6 uses the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and includes a 77.4 kWh battery on the long-range model. This gives the vehicle an estimated range of 610 KM (WLPT).
The E-GMP can support both 400-V and 800-V charging infrastructures. And charging the Ioniq 6 on a 350kW fast charger, you get 10 to 80% charge in 18 mins.
Like the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq 6 supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) function that lets you use the charging port as a power outlet via an adapter.
The vehicle should feel more spacious thanks to the 2,950-mm wheelbase and overall vehicle length of 4,855 mm.
“IONIQ 6 is designed and engineered to seamlessly enhance our daily lives as space to awaken your potential,” said Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Customer Experience Division, Hyundai Motor Company. “The innovative interior is meticulously thought out as a cocoon-like personal space, enhanced with the latest technologies to create a safe, fun, and stress-free driving experience.
