Hyundais all-electric sedan, the Ioniq 6 is creating quite some ripples as the company pushes its global market share that is causing even Tesla’s Elon Musk to take notice.
The South Korean automaker is focused on showing off the design of the Ioniq 6 rather than its technical specifications for now with the car using the same Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) as the Ioniq 5, which was rated for up to 315-miles on a single charge.
Range should benefit from the Ioniq 6’s streamlined design, which results in one of the lowest drag coefficients on the market at just 0.21.
Internally the Ioniq 6 has a couple of different touchscreens: a 12-inch infotainment display and a 12-inch digital cluster.
But when it comes to the kinds of controls you’ll regularly need while driving like audio or climate control, Hyundai has opted for physical buttons.
Hyundai design chief Sangyup Lee has said that touchscreen is great when this car is [in] stationary condition, but when you’re moving, touchscreens can be dangerous,”. “For us, anything that relates to the safety, we use hardware. Anything not related to safety will use a touch interface.” he confirmed.
Other interior features include lights on the steering wheel that show when the car is charging or listening for voice commands, the ability to light up the cabin with a choice of 64 colors, a completely flat floor, and a stretched interior for “optimized legroom.” There’s also the option of having camera door mirrors rather than regular wing mirrors in markets where they’re legal, which Ars notes doesn’t currently include the US.
