Next-Gen Hyundai Ioniq 6: Radical Looks Are Here to Stay
At Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee, we’re all about pushing boundaries – and so is Hyundai. As the electric vehicle landscape continues to evolve, Hyundai is charging ahead with bold innovation and daring design, especially when it comes to the future of the Ioniq 6.
While its looks may have split opinions, there’s no denying the Ioniq 6 stands out on the road. And according to Hyundai’s global design chief, the next generation of this all-electric sedan won’t be holding back either.
🚗 A Facelift with Fresh Energy
Just last week, Hyundai unveiled the facelifted Ioniq 6, featuring:
- A reworked front and rear with a lower, wider stance
- Slimmer, sleeker headlights
- A reshaped bumper design
- And the removal of the upper ‘whale tail’ spoiler for a cleaner finish
It’s a significant refresh aimed at addressing some of the styling critiques of the original, while reinforcing Hyundai’s commitment to making a progressive design statement.
🎨 “Not Less Radical – Just More Progressive”
Despite mixed reviews of the Ioniq 6’s original design, Hyundai isn’t looking to tone things down anytime soon. Simon Loasby, head of Hyundai’s Design Centre in South Korea, recently told Australian media:
“Not necessarily less polarising, not necessarily more conventional, but definitely more progressive.”
That’s the design philosophy guiding the next-gen Ioniq 6 – staying bold, innovative, and ready to resonate with a new generation of EV buyers. And at Tynan Hyundai Kirrawee, we’re here for it.
💡 Who Is the Ioniq 6 For?
Loasby pointed out the Ioniq 6 is meant for a different kind of driver – one who’s confident, future-focused, and ready to stand out. While more conventional models like the Hyundai Sonata continue to appeal to traditional buyers, the Ioniq range embraces uniqueness and forward-thinking design.
“If we focus on what the customer wants… then I think you’ll find with EVs, there’s a different mindset.”
This mindset includes a willingness to break with tradition – and that’s why Hyundai is keeping the Ioniq 6’s daring DNA intact for its next generation, due towards the end of the decade.
⚙ A Better-Refined Design
While Hyundai isn't ditching its radical look, it's using customer feedback to refine and perfect it. The facelifted Ioniq 6 proves that evolution is possible without compromising creativity.
Design upgrades include:
- A more proportionate front end, inspired by the original Prophecy concept
- A cleaner rear with a sleek ducktail spoiler
- Enhanced lighting elements that make the car feel lower and more aggressive
Loasby admitted:
“That’s something that, yeah, I wish we’d thought of that before… and now we got it. So we freshen it up.”
