    All-Electric IONIQ-6 Streamliner Sedan is Unveiled

      Hyundai Motor Company revealed their highly anticipated All-Electric IONIQ-6 Streamliner Sedan for the Car lovers of the world.

    Hyundai Ioniq 6 FrontThe second model in Hyundai's IONIQ all-electric lineup brand is revealed to be the Electrified Streamliner IONIQ-6 sedan. Aerodynamically sculpted and uses innovative sustainable materials reflecting todays EV customer values is characterized by clean, simple lines and a pure flowing form described by Hyundai designers as "Emotional Efficiency". 

    Ethical Uniqueness is Hyundai's customer-centric commitment to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility for the new era of electric mobility. To quote SangYup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Hyundai Design Center:

    “IONIQ 6 connects an emotional convergence of functionality with aesthetics,” “The distinctive streamlined design is the result of close cooperation between engineers and designers, with obsessive attention to detail and customer-centric values at the core. We have created the IONIQ 6 as a mindful cocoon that offers personalized place for all."

    Hyundai's mindful interior design has allowed them to hit the following five bullet points for the IONIQ-6 Streamliner Sedan:

    • Hyundai’s new entry in its IONIQ dedicated BEV lineup brand realizes streamlined aesthetics and functional efficiency under the design theme of Ethical Uniqueness
    • Cocoon-like cabin with comfort features and customizable lighting offers personalized and spacious interior space
    • Single-curved aerodynamic profile and carefully crafted contours create Hyundai’s lowest drag coefficient of 0.21[1]
    • IONIQ 6 introduces newly designed ‘H’ emblem and uses over 700 Parametric Pixels for uniqueness
    • Sustainable materials applied to throughout, reflecting a commitment to clean mobility values

    Hyundai chose to take a human-centric design that looks to keep diverse lifestyles in mind rather than a one-style-fits-all approach. This they believe will ensure that you have cars and suv's for all with a mindful personalized cocoon interior for each person's unique personality.

    Hyundia's E-GMP or Electric Global Modular Platform was created to enable and empower the designers in stretching the interior, front and rear, to create optimized legroom and spaciousness that lets passengers stay comfortable in the vehicle. The platform allows a true flat floor giving an expansive feeling.

    Hyundai Ioniq 6 interiorThe User-centric interior was designed to be ergonomically easy to use and located to reduce distractions, spur safe intuitive driving through the use of a 12-inch full-touch digital cluster and a 12-inch infotainment display with a generous in-car storage via the bridge-type center console.

    Interior Dual Color Ambient Lighting provides overall illumination for the IONIQ-6. Users can choose from a 64-color spectrum and six dual color themes that have been designed by color experts to help drivers and passengers feel relaxed and comfortable. The steering wheel incorporates a 4-dot interactive pixel lights enabling easy communication between the driver and vehicle.

    Removal of all buttons from the front doors provide more breathing room and storage, accentuating the sense of spaciousness and uniqueness.

    Sustainability in the use of eco-friendly materials is applied to various touchpoints. From recycled pigment paint, eco-processed leather, recycled PET fabrics, bio TPO skin for the dashboards to recycled fishing net carpet is just a small listing of the quality eco-friendly approach Hyundai is taking with their EV product line.

    Emotional Efficiency has been sculpted into the silhouette of the sensuous curves of the IONIQ-6. An ultra-low drag coefficient of just 0.21 is complimented by its low nose, active air flaps at the front, wheel gap reducers and optional slim digital side mirrors with interior screens (available in select markets where approved).

    IONIQ-6's enviable aerodynamics is achieved by full coverage of the undercarriage, optimized deflectors and reduced wheel-arch gap. From the lower front air dam, up and over as well as under the car, every detail is designed to optimize the ultra-low coefficient.

    Hyundai Ioniq 6 sideIntegrated into the IONIQ-6 is over 700 Parametric Pixels from the headlamps, rear combination lamps, front lower sensors, air vent garnishes and the center console indicator reinforcing the IONIQ brand's identity.

    The rear wing's Parametric Pixel High-Mounted Stop Lamp delivers an eye-catching  light execution with the brakes are applied

    Full specifications including the electrified streamliner's features and advanced technologies will take place at the world premier July 2022.

    Interior is very spartan, but while the exterior is a Jellybean, there is something very different than the Jellybean shape of the MQS or Tesla S.

    It reminds me of the early Chrysler cars due to the short front and rear overhang. The front area from the side view in front of the wheel reminds me of the shape of the Audi TT.

    While not a fan of the Coupe style, it does work here as they keep headroom of the back with the front before curving off to the rear.

    Have to say that Hyundai is really bringing it and I think Tesla needs to rethink their stale old style. Way overdue for a modern update.

    I've really enjoyed most new Kias and Hyundais the past few years but this looks pretty awful to me. Maybe it will grow on me though, like the current gen Silverado has.

    The exterior is a bit of a mess. The profile looks like an Audi TT but with four doors and the front and rear can’t make up their minds what they are trying to be. The interior is nice and has a clean look to it though and of course, that super fast charging is a huge plus.

    The even odder part of this is the fact that it uses the excite opposite design language of the Ioniq 5. Not sure what the design language end game for Hyundai is here but you have the same line of EVs where one looks nothing like the other. That being said, I would take the Ioniq 5 over this or most other Eve, for that matter. Something about it just "clicks" for me other than the price tag lol.

    I kinda like it. It's both futuristic and retro.  I see touches of retro Citroen, retro and modern Porsche, and some others I can't quite put my finger on.

    At least it's not another freaking SUV.

    I just saw some first gen CLS in there as well. Actually, quite a bit from the rear 3/4 view.

    I have to say that I am really digging the two-tone interior lighting and for me the sparse interior design actually works here compared to the Tesla which I cannot stand.

    @ccap41 @surreal1272 @Drew Dowdell 

    Thoughts on what everyone thinks will be the HP/Torque for RWD/AWD models?

    I would expect about the same as the entry Ioniq 5 since it is a similar battery set up and size vehicle.

    It's like they saw the Taycan and the Mercedes 1-bow design and said "yes, I'll have that."

    So I assume this is bigger and more expensive than an Ionic 5?  $60k for a Sonata replacement?

    Exactly the same as the Kia EV6 and Ionic 5.

    Tesla has some real competition on their hands and Hyundai has stepped up their game to make me say Check to Tesla. Musk better focus on running the company and not his mouth.

    Hyundai IONIQ 6 Relieves Range Anxiety with 614 Kilometers Per Charge - Hyundai Newsroom

    The Ioniq 6 is here to challenge the Tesla 3 and they have long range covered. Like Tesla, the RWD car has a 614 kilometers per charge range equal to 382 miles per their press release.

    I noticed that in rereading the press release, Hyundai says all their EVs on the E-GMP platform gives their entire product line an 800V ultra-fast charging of 10% to 80% in 18 minutes. Without any additional components or adapters, the EVs can also work at 400V meaning they can maximize the speed of a Tesla Super Charger.

    Tesla currently only supports the following: 

    • Super Chargers V1 and V2 up to 150 kW
    • Super Chargers V3 up to 250 kW charging

    Kia/Hyundai current charging support

    • CCS is 800V or 350 kW charging
    • 400V is for backwards compatibility with Superchargers.

    Seems according to testing V3 barely saves 2 minutes over V1 & 2 charging at 150 kW versus 250 kW. 

    No way one can go back and re-engineer an update to make Tesla compatible with 800V charging spec. As such as Chevrolet moves the Bolt and Bolt EUV onto a Ultium platform if they keep the auto alive once Equinox comes out, Tesla is going to have a hard time charging a premium for a slow boat to China charge.

    At this point, Tesla is behind the industry as everyone else has signed on to the CCS 800V spec.

    • Interesting musical chairs I recently learned about. ITA Airways was recently acquired by Lufthansa. ITA, and preceding Alitalia, were in SkyTeam, headed up by Delta along with Air France and KLM.  ITA came across as an unwanted stepchild for the more fastidious French and Dutch.  SkyTeam is pricey, as are their award redemption tiers. With this transaction, ITA joins Star Alliance, headed up by United and with Lufthansa and Air Canada in the consortium.  I'm happy about this.  At least I am right now.
    • I don't feel religion is bad.  I have one.  It's the dogmatic "holier than thou" crowd - usually older ladies who go to socialize and gossip - that drives people away. Ukraine has the right to exist peacefully the way we've known it to be for some 30 to 40 years.  The death toll is harrowing, and it's hard to think about the children, elderly, and invalids they've killed or maimed.  And these instigators claim to believe in God.  Not.
    • Seems the crazy Stooges circus has begun. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/liz-cheney-referred-for-criminal-investigation/ar-AA1w2lHB?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=12 Crazy back n forth, I hope Ukraine can recover their land and kick Russia out. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/vladimir-putin-embarrassed-as-ukrainian-rout-causes-huge-russian-surrender/ar-AA1w0T5o?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=23 Next year is going to be one extremely large clown mess of attempted dictatorship wanna be attempts against our Constitution and I fear this is only the beginning as investment firms lock in profits and get out of companies, they do not feel can handle a downturn in a U.S. and or Global Economic recession. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/dow-suffers-worst-losing-streak-in-nearly-50-years-this-stock-is-driving-index-down/ar-AA1w2wlh?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=34 This will hurt the GOP as folks assess their view of Conservative with the GOP party. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/record-slim-house-majority-faces-new-problems-as-gop-lawmaker-announces-exit-from-republican-conference/ar-AA1w2e2V?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=47 Good to see our judicial system stand up to the snake oil salesmen who think they can get away with various crimes. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/judge-merchan-just-put-leash-on-trump-during-presidency-legal-analyst/ar-AA1w2qhi?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=67 This brings up a good question for all here, do you like Standard Time or Daylight Savings time? If you are like me and not wanting to deal with flipping back and forth on time twice a year, which time do you want? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-he-ll-end-daylight-saving-time-here-are-the-winners-and-losers-if-he-does/ar-AA1w1Obc?ocid=BingHp01&cvid=f2884bd4f8b34ba2f527fff1fded1ac6&ei=78 So here is how states have voted to make one or the other permanent and do away with the flip back and forth. I do find it interesting that Ford is still filing patents on EV technology even though they have pulled back and have not really planned to move forward with 800v platform. Ford's Latest Patent Could Revolutionize EV Charging Crazy the lease deals you can get on an EV. As expected another ICE only, death to EV writer finally, actually got behind a wheel and found that the EVs are way better than ICE and even states that his next auto will be an EV now that he has actually driven one and tested it. Interesting read, his few dislikes is more of him needing to choose the display preference. I like mine in Dark mode, but the wife likes hers in light mode. So it is totally customizable. I drove an EV for the first time Have to say, I am hearing more and more from coworkers who were a never EV mind set, have actually test drove and ended up buying an EV. I think the tipping point is here where variety of EV choices are going to only make this more and more common. I suspect the Kia EV3 next year will be a huge deal for them as will the Chevrolet BOLT coming back into the market. Two SUVs that are below $30,000 will attract many new auto buyers.
