In regular settings, this mill will churn out a still impressive 601 hp and 770 Nm of peak power and torque. Powering the electric performance sedan will be an 84 kWh battery. To take things to a whole new level in terms of driving engagement, the Ioniq 6 N could take advantage of the N e-shift function which mimics an 8-speed automatic transmission to give the jolts experienced during actual gear shifts in IC cars by regulating motor torque. On top of that, it will also get the N Active Sound+ mode which imitates the sound of Hyundai’s 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. The overall aim is to bring the driving engagement and feel as close to orthodox performance vehicles as possible.

Hyundai To Launch New EV Brand In China; Plans 5 EVs In 3 Years

21 Comments / EV News / By LEC Team

The South Korean auto giant is prepping a new electric car brand to grab a significant chunk of the burgeoning Chinese EV market. Hyundai is planning a new EV brand in collaboration with Beijing Motor Corp (BAIC) just for China. The Korean auto maker has been reeling under the aftermath of dwindling sales in the largest EV market in the world, China. For reference, back in 2017, Hyundai sold 1.6 million cars in China which was around 7% market share. This number now stands at just 250,000 units, or less than 1%. In fact, Hyundai even sold its Chongqing factory for $225 million after sustaining losses worth $598 million in 2022, as per The Korea Economic Daily. Almost on the brink of exiting the Chinese market, Hyundai has decided to deploy a different strategy. It will launch 5 new China-specific EVs within the next 3 years under the joint venture with BAIC. These will bear different components and design philosophy than the acclaimed IONIQ series from Hyundai. You might also like: MWM Spartan EV 2.0 Offers G-Wagon-Like Capabilities Based On Indian Force Gurkha New Hyundai EV Brand For China Interestingly, the partnership between Hyundai and BAIC dates back to 2002. At the time, the two companies established a JV to set up a car plant in China. Those cars were supposed to be produced under BAIC’s Arcfox brand. However, those plans fell through. Now, the two companies will adopt a new strategy to resurrect Hyundai in China with the project which is codenamed OE RE. As per the same report, Hyundai Motor Group’s Executive Chairman, Chung Euisun, wishes to grab a significant chunk of the largest EV market on the planet. He commissioned this project after riding the Zeekr EV. Zeekr is a luxury EV car marque under the Geely Holding Group. He asked Hyundai employees to learn from the success of Chinese players. Now, we know that cost plays the deciding role in the success of cars in China. As a result, Hyundai plans to equip its new EVs in China with LFP batteries. That will ensure a competitive price range to rival the Chinese EVs. You might also like: How Is Formula E Helping Legacy Carmakers Build Better EV Technologies?

Hopefully, with this new strategy of launching relatively affordable EVs in partnership with BAIC, it will be able to revive its depleting sales. We shall keep an eye out for further developments in this case.

Hyundai Unveils ‘Active Air Skirt’ Tech To Increase EV Range And Power

23 Comments / EV News / By LEC Team

Carmakers are coming up with innovative tech to reduce drag coefficient in order to enable EVs to travel farther on a single charge. Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation showcase ‘Active Air Skirt’ (AAS) technology to enhance the performance of EVs. As the name suggests, it is an active mechanical component which helps reduce drag and enhance the aerodynamics of electric cars. The role of aero in EVs is immense. Any reduction in resistance to motion can lead to a significant increase in acceleration and total driving range. You might also like: Stellantis Invests In Affordable Sodium-Ion Battery Technology Hyundai Unveils ‘Active Air Skirt’ As per the official press release from Hyundai, this new technology can reduce the drag coefficient of an EV by 2.8%. It could lead to a bump in range of around 6 km (3.7 miles) as tested on the Genesis GV60. The AAS remains concealed during regular operation, positioned between the front bumper and the front wheels. It activates when speeds exceed 80 km/h (50 mph), responding to increased aerodynamic resistance surpassing air resistance. It retracts again when the speed decreases to 70 km/h (43 mph). Considering the unique features of the E-GMP platform, it situates itself exclusively in front of the tires without completely enveloping the front end. This is because it is more effective in improving aerodynamic performance to only cover the tire part since the platform floor is flat. The technology’s aerodynamic improvements boost downforce, enhancing both vehicle traction and high-speed stability. You might also like: How Do Heat Pumps Function In EVs? AAS can function at speeds exceeding 200 km/h, made achievable through the incorporation of rubber material on the lower part. This material minimizes the potential for external objects to splash and cause damage during high-speed driving, thereby ensuring durability. In the Genesis GV60, this tech has resulted in a reduction of drag coefficient (Cd) by 0.008. Speaking on the occasion of unveiling this technology, Sun Hyung Cho, Vice President and Head of the Mobility Body Development Group at Hyundai Motor Group, said, “This technology is expected to have a greater effect on models such as SUVs where it is difficult to improve aerodynamic performance. We will continue to strive to improve the driving performance and stability of electric vehicles through improvements in aerodynamics.” You might also like: Tesla Cybertruck Issues With CCS Adapter, Slow Charging Learn Electric Cars Says Hyundai Motor Group has been working relentlessly in the development of EV technology.

The Korean auto giant constantly keeps innovating and its latest products embody those engineering and technological improvements. Going forward, it is clear that the development will be incremental, over a long period of time. These small steps will ensure that most challenges we face today will hopefully be eliminated in the coming decade and mass adoption will be the norm.
