Much less futuristic as compared to its cousin (EV9). Using the same E-GMP electric platform as its Kia cousin, the new Ioniq 9 promises loads of space, lavish amenities, and lots of range - over 480 km on every trim. Powering the Ioniq 9 is a 110.3-kilowatt-hour (net) battery pack. The base Long Range model gets a single electric motor powering the rear wheels, while Hyundai offers a dual-motor Long Range variant and a dual-motor Performance model. The Long Range single-motor model makes 215 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. The dual-motor Long Range version makes 310 hp and 603 Nm, while the Performance model packs an impressive 430 hp and 698 Nm. The quickest Ioniq 9 gets to 100 km per hour in 4.9 seconds and has a top speed of 193 km per hour. Hyundai doesn't have range figures for the dual-motor models yet, but the company says every version of the Ioniq 9 will have over 480 km of range. The base single-motor model is estimated to get 539 km per charge. Plug into a 350-kilowatt-capable DC fast charger and it’ll recharge the Ioniq from 10 to 80% in just 24 minutes. The Ioniq 9 even has a maximum towing capacity of 2,268 kg. With enough space for six or seven people inside, depending on the configuration, passengers in the second row will be able to experience Hyundai's new Relaxation Seats, which have a Dynamic Touch Massage function. The first and second rows also lay completely flat, and the second row swivels so you can come face-to-face with passengers in the third row (but only when the vehicle is stationary). Eco-friendly upholstery covers the seats and interior panels. The materials range from sustainably sourced leather to recycled polyethylene terephthalate fabric, and even wool. The driver and front passenger have access to dual 12.0-inch screens—one central touchscreen and a secondary digital instrument cluster. And an eight-speaker audio system comes standard while a Bose 14-speaker system is available as an option. With a 3,129 mm wheelbase and a total length of 5,060 mm, the Ioniq 9 is plenty roomy. It has 1,900 mm of headroom and 2,050 mm of legroom with the second and third rows combined. The battery configuration also means that the Ioniq 9 has a completely flat floor all the way to the third row. The rear cargo hold has 617 liters of space. Fold the third row flat and that number grows to 1,322 liters. The Ioniq 9 also has a frunk—or front trunk—that can carry 88 liters worth of cargo on the rear-wheel drive model or 51 liters on all-wheel-drive models. The ‘aerosthetic' exterior design combines futuristic elements like eight-bit headlights and taillights with aerodynamic efficiency. That yields a drag coefficient of just 0.259 Cd with the optional digital side mirrors (which likely aren't available in the US). By comparison, the Tesla Model X has a drag coefficient of 0.24 Cd. In keeping with the eco-friendly theme, the Ioniq 9 uses a new paint compound made from recycled tire waste. Buyers can choose from 16 different colors, with a few new hues made specifically for the Ioniq 9: Celadon Gray Matte, Celadon, Gray Metallic, Ionosphere Green Pearl, Sunset Brown Pearl, and Cosmic Blue Pearl.

Source: https://www.motor1.com/photo/6722889/hyundai-ioniq-6-design-debut-with-plane/ The Hyundai Ioniq 6 finally reveals its uncamouflaged body and interior in detail. For now, the company is only highlighting the upcoming electric sedan's design. Technical info reportedly arrives on July 14. Hyundai's teasers for the Ioniq 6 pitched the vehicle as an "electrified streamliner," and the company wasn't lying. The body has an arched shape that makes it look like the car would glide through the air. The design relationship with the earlier Prophecy concept is clear. At this time, we have no details about the model's drag coefficient to know how aerodynamic it really is. The front end has clean, minimalist styling. The lower fascia includes vertical portions on each side. The hood is smooth, and the raised sections for the headlights lead to the A-pillars. Along the sides, the arching beltline along the doors accentuates the roof's curvature. There's some subtle sculpting along the lower section of the doors. The vehicle in these pictures has rear-facing cameras instead of mirrors. The wheels have a complex, asymmetrical spoke pattern. The Ioniq 6 has a sporty rear end. There's a spoiler at the base of the back window. Below it, there's a subtle ducktail spoiler that incorporates into the tail's sculpting. The full-width taillights have square, pixel-like elements that lend a vaguely retro-futuristic aesthetic to the design. The lower fascia has a pair of vertical elements with red and white reflectors in small, square elements, which matches the other rear lamps. Hyundai also isn't providing any technical details about the interior, but we can learn a lot just by looking at the pictures. Separate screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment share a single bezel. On the outer edges, the dashboard arches upward to create space for the displays that show the side camera video feed. A panel below the dash has an array of capacitive buttons for operating the HVAC system. There's a two-spoke steering wheel with capacitive buttons on each side. Four, square lights are in the center of the wheel. It's not clear whether this is purely decorative or serves some function. These photos of the cabin show a strip of purple accent lights on the dashboard and blue illumination coming from the lower door panels. We don't know whether owners can change these colors because the bright shades might not be to everyone's taste. The Ioniq 6 rides on the E-GMP platform that is also underneath the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. The sedan will reportedly come with a 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack. With two electric motors, expect an output of around 300 horsepower (224 kilowatts). Single-motor and more performance-focused versions are possible, too.

Taxi is coming strong with impressive spec too.

SINGAPORE - The vacuum left by Dyson has been filled. Hyundai Motor will make electric vehicles (EVs) at a plant in Jurong slated to be up and running by 2022. The South Korean carmaker's choice to pick Singapore as a manufacturing location is an unprecedented one. "It is the first time we are picking a country which does not have a car manufacturing industry," an insider told The Straits Times. Mr Teo Hock Seng, executive chairman of Hyundai distributor Komoco Motors, said the manufacturing of EVs here is a significant milestone. "For us, the most important thing is Hyundai will be made in Singapore," he said. He added that plans for the plant germinated four years ago, during Komoco's 30th anniversary. High-ranking executives from Hyundai came and met Ministry of Trade & Industry representatives. "They talked about autonomous vehicles," Mr Teo said, adding that the Economic Development Board (EDB) then followed up and "encouraged Hyundai to invest in a smart factory in Singapore". He said Komoco targets to sell 5,000 to 6,000 of the 30,000 electric cars made here a year, and Hyundai will export the rest. Hyundai will start with an electric compact crossover, which sources say might be called the Ioniq 3. Groundbreaking for the plant in Bulim Avenue is slated for October. The plant will be within a 28,000 sq m Hyundai Mobility Global Innovation Centre, which is a multi-function facility that will carry out R&D and training, among other things. Construction was supposed to have started in May, but has been delayed by Covid-19. The facility will be a modern complex with swathes of solar panels, and will be a test-bed for highly-automated, data-driven "smart manufacturing". A Hyundai Motor spokesman said: "When realised, Hyundai's new manufacturing platform will help make automotive plants safer and greatly diminish the physical burden for workers, using manpower only where necessary." The facility will also carry out artificial intelligence research, investment activities, and trial new mobility services. Hyundai is also expected to team up with local partners, such as universities to carry out hydrogen fuel cell and autonomous driving research. Without being specific, the spokesman said the facility will create "hundreds of jobs". He would not reveal the investment sum. EDB executive vice-president Tan Kong Hwee said: "Technological advancements are transforming the mobility sector with an increase in adoption of electric, connected, and autonomous vehicles. "Attracting quality investments arising from these emerging trends is part of our strategy to grow Singapore's mobility ecosystem. "This will not only create exciting job opportunities for Singaporeans, but also benefit adjacent industries which are already well-established here." This week, Hyundai announced that it will launch a range of numerically named EVs under the Ioniq brand name. The first will be the Ioniq 5, a midsize crossover based on the concept 45. It will launch early next year. In March 2022, the Ioniq 6 sedan, which is based on the Prophecy concept, will be unveiled, followed by the Ioniq 7, a large SUV, in early-2024. The Singapore-made car is expected to be the yet-to-be-announced Ioniq 3. More details are expected in October. British home appliance maker Dyson announced in October 2018 that it would make electric cars in Singapore, only to pull the plug on the venture a year later.

Now this can be a scary sight for those living close to the incident. A Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid taxi has apparently caught fire caught fire in an open air carpark at Block 201 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 on 18 September. As reported by Stomp, flames and smoke can be seen engulfing a black car (likely a Seat SUV) and nearly catching a Toyota Hiace van that narrowly managed to escape. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were alerted to the fire at 10.55pm and they managed to "extinguish the fire using one water jet and three compressed air foam backpacks," said an SCDF spokesman. The cause of fire is under investigation and no injuries have been reported.
