[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Hyundai Motor Company unveiled the exhibition piece "Ioniq Concept Cabin," which presents a new direction for customer experience based on electric vehicles, on the 24th.

Through the Ioniq Concept Cabin, Hyundai Motor suggests the possibility of expanding beyond a simple means of transportation to personalized digital spaces, mobile offices, and relaxation areas tailored to individual preferences. The Ioniq Concept Cabin is based on an indoor space called the skateboard platform, allowing the application of various customizable products, including in-vehicle home appliances. Customers can reorganize the vehicle's interior space according to their lifestyle.

The Ioniq Concept Cabin was created in collaboration with LG Electronics. This exhibition includes a shoe care device, coffee machine, and clothing care device, and features a flexible OLED display installed on the vehicle ceiling, designed to allow comfortable content viewing from any posture.

Additionally, when customers exit the vehicle, a 'UV LED light' that keeps the interior clean and a cleaning 'floor robot' operate. The UV LED light installed on the ceiling sterilizes the interior, while the bar-shaped floor robot installed on the floor vacuums dust and cleans the floor.

Hyundai plans to introduce vehicles that add value to customers' daily lives, starting with the compact crossover utility vehicle (CUV) "Ioniq 5," scheduled for release early next year.

A Hyundai Motor official stated, "The Ioniq Concept Cabin features an efficient interior space not seen in existing vehicles, providing functions tailored to customers' lifestyles," adding, "We will continue efforts to offer diverse experiences."
