It’s been a year since Hyundai Motor Philippines had its country “reboot”. In a surprise announcement, the Ioniq 6, the brand’s electric vehicle luxury sedan, has opened its reservation books to further strengthen its presence in the PH. From today onwards, would-be buyers can already sign up for their own units.

The Ioniq 6 will serve as Hyundai’s second all-electric vehicle offering in the Philippines. Following the successful release of the Ioniq 5, a crossover/SUV, they will now try to dip their fingers into the 4-door electric sedan market. It shares the same platform as that of the Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 called the Electric-Global Modular Platform or E-GMP and much like the two models mentioned, to say it has a futuristic look is an understatement.

Inside the Ioniq 6, you’ll find a huge 24-inch screen dominating the dashboard. Half of it is a 12” digital gauge cluster and the other half serves as the touchscreen infotainment system. Further upping the ultra-modern theme is an adjustable heads-up display integrated into the driver’s side of the windshield.
