"Continually improving the efficiency of our vehicles is always a top priority for our development teams," said Olabisi Boyle, vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America. "Instead of just adding a larger battery to increase the range, we chose to optimize IONIQ 6's aerodynamic performance and its Electric-Global Modular Platform for efficiency to produce these long driving ranges."
