Hyundai Motor said Wednesday it will unveil its second dedicated EV model, the IONIQ 6, at the Busan International Motor Show next month ahead of its local launch later this year

The IONIQ 6 is the second model manufactured with Hyundai Motor Group's own EV-only electric-global modular platform (E-GMP) following the IONIQ 5 launched in April last year.

Hyundai plans to introduce the platform-based IONIQ 7 SUV model in 2024. For its all-electric models, Hyundai uses alphanumeric names like its bigger rivals, such as BMW, whose models are named Series No. 1-8. (Yonhap)
