Hyundai wowed customers with its new retrofuturistic electric SUV, the Ioniq 5. · Now it's adding another battery-powered stunner to its stable.

Hyundai didn't just design the Ioniq 6 to look cool. Without the constraints of a bulky engine and transmission components, Hyundai was able to push the Ioniq 6's wheels way out to the edges of the car, increasing interior space. But it's just as striking and unusual-looking.

The boxy Ioniq 5 is all sharp angles, with a pixelated design theme that resembles what designers in the early 1980s thought the future would look like. But the Ioniq 6 retains much of the Prophecy’s unusual shape. That gives designers creative freedom the same way a brand design language restricts them. A spoiler sits above a trunk lid with a spoiler-like kink, looking almost as if it has a pair of stacked rear wings. The Ioniq 6 looks nothing like any other Hyundai. That’s refreshing.
