The Korean manufacturer is developing its electric range at no charge. After Ioniq 5, what does the Hyundai Ioniq 6 sedan promise us against the Tesla Model 3?
New Hyundai Ioniq 6 (2022) – Hyundai’s predictions will soon materialize in 2022, i.e. two years after the revelation of the Prophecy concept car. A sedan with a radical look, not unlike a certain Porsche Panamera, which will give birth in the coming months of second member of the Ioniq family, identifying 100% electric vehicles within the Korean range. After the intriguing SUV Ionic 5, the approaching UFO will be called Ioniq 6.
Aero licked
From the plume ofProphecy study to the industrial reality of Ioniq 6, disappointment could appear. By peeling the recent pictures taken by our scoop hunters, it appears that the new electric sedan will calm the style game, by considerably attenuating the original very typical cut profile. However, we will find the curves favored by the concept car, both in terms of bodywork models and in terms of the pencil stroke of the beltline. The latter will die at the level of the stern characterized by a Retractable fin housed at the base of the bezel.
Bio design
In detail, if the prototype crossed by our colleagues at Automedia sports classic mirrors, we already know that the Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be eligible for a rear-view camera system to improve aerodynamics. Polished like a pebble, it takes care to retract its door handles, when the design of the rims is more similar to flasks, to split the air. Anyway, we can’t blame the house designers for playing Russian dolls, as its design differs from the Ioniq 5, more cubic in the soul. Conversely, both seem to have agreed on the treatment of the passenger compartment. The stolen photos of Ioniq 6, from the forum Bobaedream, report a dashboard very similar to that of its little sister, with the exception of a prominent center console.
77.4 kWh battery
Resting on the E-GMP platform inaugurated by the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 should rather be closer to the Kia model in terms of size, with a similar length (4,69 m) to that of his future sworn enemy: the Tesla Model 3. This is to say the pressure exerted on the future top model from Seoul, to the point that its designers have repeatedly delayed its launch. On the technical side, it was initially planned that it simply inherits the battery with a capacity of 72.6 kWh from which the Ioniq 5 benefits. that of 77.4 kWh, from the Kia EV6, which will be preferred to him, with more than 550 km of WLTP autonomy. For comparison, the Tesla Model 3 Performance can rally 567 km WLTP with a given battery for about 82 kWh (unofficial data).
Ultra-fast charging
To respond to the swiftest Californian women, chrono in hand, we can bet that the Hyundai Ioniq 6 will opt for the most responsive unit in the Kia EV6 catalog which develops 430 kW (535 hp) and 740 Nm of torque, in order to stick to the 3.3 s claimed by the Tesla on the exercise of 0 to 100 km / h. But the Korean should also be available in 228 hp and 325 hp, in order to keep an entry ticket below the € 50,000 mark. But if there is one chapter in which the Hyundai Ioniq 6 will beat the American flat, it is that of the recharging time, thanks to its 800 V technology worthy of a Porsche Taycan. When the Model 3 recovers 80% of autonomy in about thirty minutes, it will take less than 20 for the Asian.
Look to refine
In addition to the last minute technical changes made to the Hyundai Ioniq 6, the latter would also have pushed back its launch date to improve its look. According to our British colleagues fromCoach, the designers would have brought out their drawing board so that the production model sticks a little more to the features of the Prophecy concept car. Answer in a few months.
