Hyundai dubs the Ioniq 6 as an electrified streamliner. The car comes with an arched shape that gives it an appearance like the car could guide through the air. This would certainly help in aerodynamic efficiency, but Hyundai is yet to reveal the drag coefficiency data of this EV.
The front profile of the Ioniq 6 looks clean and comes with a minimalist approach. It gets a vertical part on each side of the lower front fascia. A smooth hood and raised headlamps leading to the A-pillars are other design elements along with an arching beltline that accentuates the roof. The lower side profile comes with some subtle sculpting on the doors. Also, the car gets rear-facing sleek cameras instead of mirrors. The car runs on complex asymmetrical spoked wheels. Moving to the back, it gets a spoiler adding sportiness. There is another ducktail spoiler below that. The LED taillights come with a full-width appearance and they sport square pixelated elements. Overall, the exterior of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 looks like a perfect blend between retro theme and modern styling.
