Hyundai Motor Group has just launched a new local IONIQ 6 variant, made in Singapore at the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center (HMGICS).
Following the success of the award-winning IONIQ 5 and the IONIQ 5 robotaxi, the IONIQ 6 marks another milestone in Hyundai’s EV lineup.
Manufactured at HMGICS, Singapore’s first and only EV production smart facility, the IONIQ 6 benefits from an automated and intelligent cell-based production platform.
This allows Hyundai to respond swiftly to the diverse needs of Singaporean drivers, using advanced technologies such as AI, Robotics, and Digital Twin to ensure flexibility in production.
Dr Hyun Sung Park, CEO of HMGICS, shared, “Following the success and interest in the IONIQ 5 and the IONIQ 5 robotaxi, we are pleased to launch our next made-in-Singapore EV, the IONIQ 6. We believe that the IONIQ 6 will offer an elevated quality and driving experience for customers in Singapore, easing the adoption of EVs and contributing to Singapore’s sustainable ecosystem and mobility journey.”
The IONIQ 6 is no stranger to our market; we previously gave it an award in AutoApp’s Car Of The Year 2024. Overseas, it has secured titles like World Car of the Year 2023, World Electric Vehicle of the Year 2023, and World Car Design of the Year 2023.
As Hyundai’s first EV sedan, it offers a streamlined silhouette that boasts an impressive aerodynamic coefficient of 0.217 CD and a range of up to 614 km (WLTP). The second model to feature Hyundai’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), it offers ample space for passengers and luggage.
The made-in-Singapore IONIQ 6 is available in four trims:
- Inspiration (77 kWh, Cat B)
- Prestige (77 kWh, Cat B)
- Prestige (53 kWh, Cat A)
- Exclusive (53 kWh, Cat A)
As a benchmark, the long-range Prestige (77 kWh) 2WD model offers a range of up to 614 km (WLTP), balancing distance and performance.
Local production also brings enhanced connectivity features like Bluelink and OTA software updates. Bluelink offers online voice recognition and a host of convenient features, while OTA updates ensure the latest maps and infotainment features are always at your fingertips, reducing the need for dealership visits.
Hyundai is partnering with various companies to enhance EV charging solutions, addressing a key concern for potential EV adopters. For home charging, Hyundai has teamed up with Schneider Electric to offer an industry-leading three-year warranty and a new charger.
Mobile charging provider P.UP will offer five charges a month for up to 12 months, along with emergency rescue services, including emergency charging, 12V battery replacement, and towing.
Hyundai customers can also leverage destination charging services from Charge+ across Singapore and the region, including Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Hyundai’s partnership with Singapore Power Mobility (SPM) further expands destination charging services.
The made-in-Singapore Hyundai IONIQ 6 is now available for pre-booking. Interested customers can visit the HMGICS website from 16:00 SGT on July 19, 2024, to check out pricing and secure their vehicle.
For those who want to experience the IONIQ 6 firsthand, test drives are available at Komoco Motors at 253 Alexandra Road, Singapore 159936 (Tel: 6475 8888).
