Customers will benefit from Hyundai's commitment to develop advanced battery technology that enables stress-free driving performance and long range. With WLTP-rated energy consumption of 13.9 kWh/100km, the Ioniq 6 will be one of the most energy-efficient electric vehicles (EV) on the market when it goes on sale later this year in select markets in Europe and next year in North America.
The Ioniq 6’s superb all-electric
range performance is made possible in large part by Hyundai’s dedicated
architecture for EVs, Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), and the
electrified streamliner’s ultra-low wind resistance. E-GMP delivers
optimal electric performance and provides 800V ultra-fast charging from
10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes and supports 400V charging without
the need for additional components or adapters.
Having a
platform specifically for EVs also means Hyundai is better able to
design vehicles to best meet passengers’ needs. With E-GMP, the Ioniq 6
can be a workstation or a portable power bank on wheels, creating new
usage scenarios to fit customers’ diverse, on-the-go lifestyles.
Hyundai
maximized the Ioniq 6’s all-electric driving range through extensive
aerodynamic design and engineering work. The vehicle’s drag coefficient
of 0.21 is the lowest in the company’s vehicle lineup and one of the
lowest in the industry.
The model’s streamlined appearance and
various design elements, such as an active air flap, wheel air curtains,
integrated rear spoiler and wheel gap reducers, significantly enhanced
the Ioniq 6’s aerodynamics performance, placing it among the sleekest
vehicles worldwide. In particular, wheel gap reducers minimize the empty
space between the front bumper and tires to improve aerodynamic
performance around the wheel wells. This Hyundai invention made it
possible for the electrified streamliner to provide a longer wheelbase
for passengers’ riding comfort while simultaneously overcoming the
aerodynamics challenges caused by its short front overhang.
