Both trims are fitted with a 77.4 kW lithium-ion polymer battery pack, offering a WLTP-claimed range of up to 614 km. 

In today’s story, we bring a detailed tour of the Ioniq 6 exterior and interior showcasing its stunning design cues and impressive features. So, let’s get started.

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 has a streamlined shape that not only contributes to its stunning appearance but also ensures exceptional efficiency on the road. It is touted as one of the most aerodynamic production cars in the world with a very low drag coefficient of 0.21 Cd.

The EV features over 700 Parametric Pixels lights that can be found in the LED headlamps, rear combination lamps, front lower sensors, digital side mirrors, and air vent garnishes.

The headlights also feature Matrix beam LED technology. LED daytime running lights, and the Intelligent Front-lighting System. The latter automatically adapts to road situations, optimising the use of high beams while ensuring there's no glare to other drivers.

The Ioniq 6 has a distinctive low-profile tail with wrap-around LED lights, a transparent HMSL (High-Mounted Stop Lamp), and a wing-inspired rear spoiler.

Adding to the sleek yet functional aesthetics of the EV are the automatic flush door handles, which are seamlessly integrated into the design. The layout of these handles also elevates the aerodynamic efficiency of the electric sedan.

The automaker has also positioned the new Hyundai Emblem on the Ioniq 6 for the very first time, which symbolises the beginning of the new era.

Time to get it! According to Hyundai, the electric sedan has “a cocoon-like cabin that lets passengers freely enjoy in-car life.” The control unit is placed at the centre so that it's easy to reach and use, offering straightforward and intuitive driving. 

The buttons from the front doors were also moved to the bridge-type centre console to provide more room and storage. Due to this, the doors not only became slimmer but also offer more space for knees, ensuring increased comfort while driving.

The interior also houses interactive Pixel Lights on the 4-dot Interactive Pixel on the steering wheel and LED lights on the crash pad.

The lighting synchronises with speed; the brightness of front cabin lighting increases from 10% to 100% when speed rises from 30 kmph to 100 kmph.

On the modular dashboard of the EV lies two 12.3-inch displays, one for the digital cluster and the other for the′ infotainment touchscreen. The displays are integrated into a single screen for a wider view with convenient access to all required information.
