Hyundai showed off the final design of its all-new IONIQ6 “streamliner” electric sedan a few weeks ago, but now? We have all the answers!
In addition to answering questions about battery size, range, and performance from the 320 HP sedan, Hyundai wants to draw focus to the car’s interior, which points to a new direction for the brand’s interior design and underscores the company’s plans to shift the IONIQ brand upmarket.
“IONIQ 6 is designed and engineered to seamlessly enhance our daily lives as space to awaken your potential,” said Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President, Global Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Customer Experience Division, Hyundai Motor Company. “The innovative interior is meticulously thought out as a cocoon-like personal space, enhanced with the latest technologies to create a safe, fun, and stress-free driving experience. The spacious interior, with sustainability and usability at its heart, once again represents a step forward for electric vehicles, in line with the values of our customers.”
Hyundai says it designed the IONIQ 6 interior to serve as a personalized hideaway with Dual Color Ambient Lighting (“mood lighting,” in other words) that allows a driver to customize the vibe with 64 selectable colors and six pre-selected “themes” that adjust for brightness based on the car’s speed.
The official press release also says that, “The optional Relaxation Comfort Seats in the first row promote leisure by simply adjusting the seat angle,” which — apparently “reclining seats” are getting spin now. Which, good for them.
Production is set to begin later this year, with US deliveries beginning early 2023. Official pricing has not yet been announced.
