The iF Design Award jury praised the Ioniq 6 for its design, which not only looks distinct but is also streamlined. With this type of aerodynamic design, the Korean electric vehicle (EV) is capable of delivering an improved range, promising to reach up to 614 km. In fact, its drag coefficient of 0.21 is the lowest in Hyundai’s lineup, apart from being one of the lowest in the industry.
The Ioniq 6’s design likewise reflects the brand’s customer-centric commitment to “energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.”
In a statement, the jury commended the Ioniq 6 for “a fresh and unique exterior aesthetic with subtle motifs that are carried over into a serene and relaxing interior. Its overall design identity is based on deep commitments to comfort, style, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.”
