Starting in early 2023, Hyundai will offer the Ioniq 6, an electric sports sedan in the coupe body style. The Ioniq 6 was inspired by the Hyundai Prophecy concept EV. Hyundai's Ioniq 5 was the debut vehicle for its new electric sub-brand, but the styling of the Ioniq 6 sports sedan is entirely different. Here, creative director Sang Yup Lee consciously goes against tradition by not giving the classic brand face.
The closed front features nearly square LED headlights and a hood that curves sharply forward. The apron is equipped with active air flaps for better aerodynamics. The back end of the roof, in coupé fashion, stretches far backward. Therefore, the band of windows along the side of the vehicle narrows toward the back. The lower window line also describes an arc reminiscent of the CLA or CLS from Mercedes. The door handles are flush with the body, and the exterior mirror cameras protrude from the window triangle on a solid support. 20-inch light-alloy rims with 245/40 tires rotate in the only slightly flared wheel arches – the basic version has 18-inch wheels with 225/55 tires.
The rear – reminiscent of the Porsche 911 or the Porsche Taycan – stretches far down, and strong shoulders give the model width. In addition to a spoiler below the rear window with third brake light, there is another spoiler lip and little LED lights that stretch across the entire vehicle width. Finally, a diffuser marks the conclusion, with two lights set at right angles. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is available in a total of twelve different colors.
