Electric Hyundai Ioniq 6 unveiled. At the back, it resembles an old Porsche

After a few trailers, Hyundai has completely unveiled the design of its latest electric car called the Ioniq 6. But who would expect any visual resemblance to the Ioniq 5 hatchback would be disappointed – the cars have nothing in common from the outside.

Instead, the “six” is very similar to the Prophecy concept, which was unveiled in the spring of 2020. However, especially on the bow and in the white color in which the carmaker introduced it, it is not so elegant.

At the rear, there is a strong inspiration for some older Porsche cars, mainly in the shape of a strip of rear lamps extending across the entire width of the rear.

We can see the same inspiration even in two spoilers. The upper shape resembles the folding wing of the 911 gen. 993 and 996, the lower turn called the duck tail.

The designers cannot be denied that they managed to mask the height of the lower part of the car, in which the battery is hidden, with visually distinctive bumpers. Nevertheless, the ioniqu 6 design will probably not be for everyone.

There is no big surprise inside, ioniq 6 got a number of elements from the “five” either directly or at least similar. The steering wheel and center control console look the same, the dual display panel is more compact, but the displays look the same.

However, the main difference is the “wings” of the dashboard on the sides, which carry the other two displays. These replace the rear-view mirrors, which are missing in the classic design – the car has cameras instead. Whether this element will be standard equipment or a surcharge, as is the case with ioniqu 5, is not yet known.

In addition to the 64-color ambient backlight, the interior also boasts a mode called “Speed ​​Sync Lighting”, which adjusts the interior lighting according to driving speed.

It is also worth mentioning the upholstery with ecologically processed leather or fabric from recycled plastics, carpets are made from recycled fishing nets.

The technical specifications of the novelty are not yet in the world. All we know is that it stands on the E-GMP platform, as does the ioniq 5, which suggests the possibility of rear or all-wheel drive and a battery with a capacity of up to 77 kWh with an 800V architecture.

The air resistance coefficient of only 0.21 will also help the long range, which is an exceptionally good value.

Hyundai promises that the full world premiere will take place in July, when we will learn everything but the dynamics as well as the equipment and technological elements.
