Sedans aren’t dead. At least they aren’t if it’s an EV. Hyundai has finally revealed the second car in its Ioniq EV sub-brand and it’s a sedan. Not just any sedan either, but a sedan with obvious German luxury design cues.

Just look at this thing. It’s beautiful. Hyundai damn near brought its 2020 into production. It has the same front facia. But there are notable differences of course. There’s a front bumper; the suicide doors of the concept are gone in place of regular doors; the joystick steering controls are gone of course, and the afterburner-like vertical tail lamps are gone. It’s still a damn good-looking car though.

From the side, there are obvious four-door coupe roofline vibes that evoke the Mercedes CLS, the forbearer of the segment. The rear has strong Porsche vibes. While it uses the same pixelated tail light effect the Ioniq 5 has, its rounded rear with integrated spoiler gives off classic 911. The design isn’t just about pretty looks though. There’s actually some function to it. Hyundai calls the design Emotional Efficiency. That sleek aerodynamic body gives the Ioniq 6 a drag coefficient of just 0.21. And if you’re counting, yes that is lower than a . That’s even lower than the current-gen Mercedes A-Class, a vehicle that of any vehicle in the world.

While the design is great, what’s important is its Ioniq 6s hardware. Riding on Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), there’s no transmission tunnel so the interior floor is completely flat, allowing for more room. With an 800-volt architecture, Hyundai says you should be able to get from 10 percent to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

The inside is just as techy and efficient as the exterior. Here though it’s all about sustainable materials. Depending on the features and trim you get, there are either recycled PET fabric or eco-process leather seating, bio TPO skin for the dashboard; bio PET fabric for the headline; the carpet is made out of recycled fishing net, and the door paint is derived from vegetable oil.

This is all in addition to an ergonomically designed infotainment system. There are dual 12-inch displays, one for the driver and the other for the infotainment cluster, ambient interior lighting with 64 colors, and unique design features like a bridged console shelf for storage that Hyundai says gives the interior an airy and open feeling.

Hyundai has yet to announce any power, range, or price figures for the IONIQ 6, but it should have no problem finding buyers when it finally goes on sale next year. The EV market should be on notice.

I Drove A Vintage Audi 4000 S Quattro And I Get It Now
I Drove A Vintage Audi 4000 S Quattro And I Get It Now
I never understood why there is still such a fierce cult of fascination around the Audis of the 1980s. Keeping one running is virtually impossible. Fans claw each other for increasingly rare, rusty, temperamental old cars and parts. This weekend I finally drove one and I totally get it now....

For $7,900, Would You Horse Around In This Eddie Bauer Edition 1987 Ford Bronco?
For those of you too impatient to wait for the next horsey Ford, today’s Bronco is a nice blast from the past to tide you over. However, will this clean truck’s price have your enthusiasm ebbing? Last Friday’s was confusingly offered up through a convoluted and somewhat sketchy manner. Its...

For $3,950, Could This 1987 Porsche 944 Be The Real Deal Working Man’s Porsche?
For $3,950, Could This 1987 Porsche 944 Be The Real Deal Working Man’s Porsche?
A Porsche executive was once asked why his company didn’t offer an entry-level car, to which he responded “we do, it’s called a used Porsche.” Today’s 944 is a used Porsche, but will it’s price let it level up? Here’s a fun tip: when cooking, stick a toothpick in the...

At $3,500, Would You Let This 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser Rust In Peace?
At $3,500, Would You Let This 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser Rust In Peace?
Today’s Toyota Land Cruiser has rust, enough that its seller warns that if you’re afraid of the creeping crud to stay away. He also says he’s priced the car accordingly. We’ll just have to see if there are holes in that assertion too. While it is true that the Porsche...

The 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S Will Make You An Instagram God With 740 HP
A is a statement car. It’s a statement that you’ve made it, that you’ve got money to burn, that you want a big, bad, impractical supercar and are willing to throw down $420,000 to make that dream a reality. When I think about blowing nearly half a million bucks on...

For $79,000, Is This Pulled-From-Storage 1970 Porsche 914-6 A Sick Six?
For $79,000, Is This Pulled-From-Storage 1970 Porsche 914-6 A Sick Six?
The seller of today’s Porsche calls it “probably the most significant 914-6 find in recent years.” He’s certainly priced it as such, and we’ll now need to decide if we find that price to be too significant. Are you old enough to remember when popular entertainment offered up the habitual...
