Note: All figures are EPA estimates and based on a fully charged battery. Actual range will vary based on a number of factors, including vehicle options, driving conditions and habits, vehicle and battery's condition, battery temperature and outside temperature. “Continually improving the efficiency of our vehicles is always a top priority for our development teams,” said Olabisi Boyle, Vice President, Product Planning and Mobility Strategy, Hyundai Motor North America.
Further he added, “Instead of just adding a larger battery to increase the range, we chose to optimize IONIQ 6’s aerodynamic performance and its Electric-Global Modular Platform for efficiency to produce these long driving ranges.”
Speaking of the Hyundai Ioniq 6, it has a drag coefficient of 0.21 that is assisted by active air flaps, wing-inspired spoiler with winglet, reduced wheel-arch gaps and more.
