South Korean automotive manufacturer Hyundai has officially revealed its its highly-anticipated IONIQ 6 all-electric sedan. According to the company, the vehicle draws inspiration from the brand's 2020 Prophecy concept. However, it delivers a notably more streamlined design that emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency.
The new IONIQ 6 boasts an impressive variety of exterior features, including active air flaps, slim digital side mirrors, wheel gap reducers, a boat-tail construction, separation traps, and an elliptical wing spoiler. Meanwhile, on the inside, the vehicle comes equipped with seats made from eco-processed leather and recycled PET -- a decision that adheres to Hyundais' new green initiative.
