According to foreign media reports, Hyundai Motor’s new electric car IONIQ 6, which was presented at last month’s Busan Motor Show, has started accepting reservations, with first-day orders exceeding 37,000 units, higher than the first-day reservations of the previous generation IONIQ 5.
According to reports from foreign media, Hyundai received 37,446 orders for the IONIQ 6 on its first day of pre-orders, which is 13,686 units or 57 percent higher than the 23,760 units of the IONIQ 5 in the same period.
Regarding the performance of the IONIQ 6 on the first day of pre-orders, Hyundai said that the IONIQ 6’s innovative exterior and interior design, top range and driving performance that incorporates the latest technology appear to have received positive feedback from the public and attracted consumer interest.
