Hyundai Motor Company and Kia have set out to target preliminary consumers with electric cars’Ioniq 5’and’EV6′ equipped with differentiating points.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is an electric car that can stimulate the purchasing sentiment of consumers with strong early adopter tendencies by introducing new technologies that are not available in the existing domestic automobile market.

The Kia EV6 is an electric car that emphasizes the design philosophy of the concept of’Opposites United’ and attracts consumers who like smooth driving performance.

Ionic 5 is the first domestic automaker to install a V2L system that can use home appliances by using the power inside the vehicle. In addition, it applied a solar roof that can charge a battery with sunlight for the first time in Hyundai-Kia’s electric vehicle lineup. The second car released in Korea was equipped with a’digital side mirror’ that puts a camera in the seat of the side mirror.

Before the release of the IONIQ 5, Hyundai Motor Company has released a number of teaser videos aimed at consumers who like to travel. It also emphasized that the V2L system that can be used inside the vehicle allows you to work on a laptop in the rear seat. It has also been emphasized that the center console can be moved back and forth. Hyundai Motor’s marketing strategy is hidden to expand the definition of automobiles to the use of personal living spaces beyond the means of transportation.

Like the Ioniq 5, the Kia EV6 has all the driving assistance functions such as a 12.3-inch cluster and display, and highway driving assistance 2. But it doesn’t have digital side mirrors like the Ioniq 5 does. Kia did not mention that the EV6 has a V2L function. Even when introducing the specifications of the EV6 vehicle scheduled on the 30th, the expectation that there will be no introduction of the V2L function is predominant.

Kia emphasized the dynamics of the EV6. He was confident that the wing-type roof spoiler design, which was not found in existing domestic automobiles, could give a futuristic feel.

Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 is predicted to have a domestically certified mileage of 410 km to 430 km. This is the predicted figure announced by Hyundai Motor Company by applying the mileage test certification standard of the Ministry of Environment at the time of the initial release of the Ioniq 5.

On the other hand, it is predicted that the Kia EV6 can boast a higher mileage than the Ioniq 5.
