Hyundai Motor brought the first electric car at the end of February last year - IONIQ 5, even though the new car release time has been delayed due to the shortage of automotive chips recently, the brand's second new pure electric car IONIQ 6 based on the E-GMP chassis was successfully released at the 2022 Busan Auto Show held in mid-July this year and was officially launched in its own Korean market in mid-September. It is worth noting that after IONIQ 6 launched its pre-sale activity at the end of August, it took only one day to win more than 37,000 orders, setting a record for the highest number of pre-sales of new Hyundai cars in a single day.

The IONIQ 6 pure electric sedan, which is expected to be sold in the European market by the end of this year, recently announced its battery life under the test of European WLTP standards. At present, the pure electric cars with E-GMP chassis used in the market sold by the entire group include Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60 in addition to the Hyundai IONIQ electric sub-brand car series. The above models are roughly divided into the basic mileage version of the 53kWh lithium battery pack and the long mileage version of the 77.4kWh lithium battery pack (IONIQ 5 has been replaced with this set of lithium batteries through the new model), and they also support 400V/800V multiple fast charging functions. When using a fast charging system with a 350kW output power, the power can be replenished to 80% in 18 minutes of charging.

From the latest test results, it can be found that with the 18-inch aluminum ring rear-wheel drive and 77.4kWh long-range version model, it can run up to 614 kilometers under full power! The power consumption is almost almost 7km/kWh, but the IONIQ 5, EV6, and GV60, which are also 77.4kWh lithium battery packs, is not as long as this pure electric sedan? The original manufacturer said that this is all thanks to the ultra-low resistance coefficient of IONIQ 6!

The new IONIQ 6 has achieved a resistance coefficient performance of 0.21Cd value under its extremely streamlined appearance, making it one of the models with the smallest resistance in the industry. In addition, since the positioning of the IONIQ 6 itself is biased towards the "sedan" design (the original manufacturer has previously revealed that the models with IONIQ+ even-numbered car names will be classified as car positioning), compared with the EV6 and GV60 with a height of more than 1,500mm, and the IONIQ 5 with a height of more than 1,605mm, these three pure electric cars are all crossover SUV models, giving the Hyundai IONIQ 6, which is only 1,495mm high, a lot of advantages.

Not to mention that the original manufacturer also installed various aerodynamic equipment and designs on the IONIQ 6 car, such as active air intake, wheel arch side air curtain air intake, large rear spoiler, and reduced side gap of aluminum ring, so that its endurance is better than that of the other brothers and sisters of the same group. Byung Hoon Min, head of Hyundai's vehicle performance development center, said that Hyundai has worked hard to build the most efficient model in the electric vehicle industry. In order to reduce customers' anxiety about mileage, Hyundai is committed to developing designs that improve the aerodynamics of the car, thereby helping the vehicle provide a longer range. ​
