After finally giving us the full look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6<\/a> late last month, the automaker has now officially premiered<\/a> the upcoming electric car<\/a>, providing some details to go along with it. Perhaps not as many details as we\u2019d like \u2014\u00a0we\u2019re still hungry for more \u2014 but details nonetheless.<\/p>\n

The Ioniq 6 uses the same long-wheelbase \u201cE-GMP\u201d platform and 800-volt battery<\/a> architecture as the Ioniq 5<\/a>. The company said it will offer a range of up to 610 kilometers (379 miles) on a single charge (on the generous WLTP testing cycle; it\u2019ll likely be rated lower in the U.S.), using the same chemistry and components from the Ioniq 5. That range comes from a 77.4-kWh battery. In addition to that, there will be a lesser 53-kWh battery. The RWD Ioniq 6 with the 53-kWh battery and 18-inch tires can manage less than 14 kWh\/100 km, which is an impressive 4.4 miles\/kWh by our calculations<\/a>, which would likely put it at the very top of\u00a0our list most efficient vehicles<\/a>. Hyundai<\/a> says it was able to make the Ioniq 6 especially efficient thanks to aerodynamics, thermal management, hardware and software upgrades and better management of the all-wheel-drive system (specifically, in the way the car transitions between two- and all-wheel drive).<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the electric powertrain, Hyundai said the Ioniq 6 will offer multiple powertrain configurations. It can be had in rear- or all-wheel drive, the line-topper being the big-battery AWD version with 320 horsepower and 446 pound-feet of torque. Hyundai specified a 0-62-mile-per-hour time of 5.1 seconds for the dual-motor version \u2014 identical to that of the AWD Ioniq 5. The vehicle will also offer a variety of drive modes, including a configurable \u201cMy Mode\u201d to pick and choose various vehicle settings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hyundai talked a lot about the idea behind the Ioniq 6, including the target demographic. While the 5 is more for young families, the Ioniq 6 will be a \u201cmindful cocoon\u201d for single, young urban professionals. (One of the examples in Hyundai\u2019s premiere video is an artist named Mia, who is putting on a \u201ctrashion show in the metaverse.\u201d That could be you!) Full of sustainable and recycled interior materials and dynamic lighting, it\u2019s meant to be a creative space that offers stress-free driving, as well as a cozy \u201chealing space.\u201d To that effect, the interior lighting allows you to choose from 64 colors<\/a> to provide the perfect ambience for your activities, whether that\u2019s cruising down the road, using the car as a mobile work space or lounging in the front row\u2019s reclining \u201cRelaxation Seats.\u201d There\u2019s also a \u201cSpeed-Sync Lighting\u201d feature that changes as you accelerate, but can also alert you when you\u2019re going a little too fast.<\/p>\n

Like its customers, the Ioniq 6 embraces technology. Like the Ioniq 5, the 6 uses two 12-inch screens in tandem for an instrument panel and infotainment. There is a standard three-prong outlet inside, as well as a number of USB-C ports and a USB-A port for charging your devices. It also offers 110- and 220-volt vehicle-to-load tech to allow you to use the car as a mobile power source. For safer driving, the Ioniq 6 will offer Hyundai\u2019s Highway Driving Assist 2 suite, with adaptive cruise control, lane-centering and assisted lane changes. It also offers Remote Paking Assist \u2026 you know, \u201cSmaht Pahk<\/a>.\u201d This show car includes camera side mirrors, but those aren’t legal in the U.S. yet.<\/p>\n

Hyundai will begin production of the Ioniq 6 in Korea in Q3<\/a> of this year, with U.S. sales beginning in Q1 of 2023. We\u2019ll get more details when Hyundai reveals the North American spec version of the car this November. Until then, fans and potential customers can get to know more about the car through the Ioniq 6 Digital Studio<\/a>, which includes interactive content and even a \u201cdriving experience\u201d using augmented and virtual reality. No word on If we\u2019ll get to attend that Metaverse trashion show, though.<\/p>\n
