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.

The 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec Is A Sport Sedan Without The ‘Sport’
When I first walked up to the , I had to circle it a few times. It looked good—really good, even. The color was perfect, the styling was right along those lines and it looked, surprisingly, like a genuinely enjoyable sedan. Then I got in it. ( Acura wanted me...

For $2,500, Could You See Yourself In This 1989 Suzuki Sidekick Hunting Truck?
Do you consider hunting to be a sport? If so, today’s Sidekick might just be the ultimate sport utility as it’s decked out in cammo for the hunt. Maybe its price will make it worth bagging as well. Last Friday’s was Alpine White on beige, which is perhaps the most...

The Honda S660 Is The Most Fun You Can Have At 25 MPH
The most interesting car Honda currently makes isn’t the reborn , or the , and it’s definitely not one of its hybrid hatchbacks or crossovers. It’s the , a mid-engined baby roadster with a peppy engine in the middle, rear-wheel drive and a removable roof. And you can’t own one....

At $17,000, Could This M-Swapped 2000 BMW 323i Be The Longroof For The Long Haul?
Salivating over the description of the work done to today’s E46 is like reading Penthouse Forum—it’s almost to good to be true. Let’s see if this M wagon’s price also has you frothing. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any...

For $7,999, Does This 1978 Datsun 200SX Have SX Appeal?
Today’s 200SX is a sort of car you really never see any more. This one might just be worth a look, that is, if you’re not blinded by the price. Hasta la vista… Bambi. While it may not be sporting to take the Terminator out hunting, the same thing couldn’t...
