Hyundai Ioniq 6 will get 614 km vary, 13.9 kWh on WLTP cycle – one of the vital power environment friendly EVs ever

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 shall be able to attaining a spread of 614 km on the WLTP testing cycle because of its E-GMP electrical car structure drag coefficient of 0.21, the Korean carmaker has introduced.

This functionality will make the Ioniq 6 one of the vital energy-efficient electrical automobiles on sale when it turns into accessible in chosen European markets this yr, and in North America subsequent yr. Its aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.21 is the bottom in Hyundai’s line-up, and can also be one of many lowest within the automotive trade, mentioned Hyundai.

This has been made doable by a spread of design components such because the energetic air flap, wheel air curtains, built-in rear spoiler and wheel hole reducers, the latter serving to to minimise the empty house between the entrance bumper and the tyres so as to enhance aerodynamic efficiency round its wheel wells, in line with the carmaker.

“We put each effort into designing probably the most environment friendly automobile within the EV section. Our give attention to bettering aerodynamics helped to realize one of many longest all-electric vary automobiles accessible, which can cut back prospects’ EV vary anxiousness and assist develop the section,” mentioned Hyundai head of whole car efficiency improvement centre Byung Hoon Min.

Its vary comes courtesy of a 77.4 kWh battery, which, relying on specification, is paired with both a single-motor rear-wheel-drive or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration. The very best output comes from the dual-motor AWD that produces 320 PS and 605 Nm of torque, which permits the Ioniq 6 to realize a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds.

The Ioniq 6 is constructed on the E-GMP platform that additionally underpins the Ioniq 5, which suggests using an 800 V electrical structure that additionally helps 400 V charging, says Hyundai. When charging at its most fee of 350 kW, the battery of the Ioniq 6 will be replenished from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes, like with the Ioniq 5.

A vehicle-to-load (V2L) operate permits the Ioniq 6 to cost electrical units and to function a backup energy provide through its exterior energy outlet. Moreover, one other outlet beneath the rear seat can recharge units corresponding to laptops and cell phones.
