The Ioniq uses a boxy pixel design signature all over the car, but it’s most prominent on the headlights at the front and brake lights at the back.

Hyundai calls it the “Parametic Pixel” and it can be found all over the Ioniq 5.

It’s here on the charge port lid, showing you where to press to open it. They make up the charge indicator lights too.

The Parametic Pixel extends to less functional places too, like these design elements on the door.

There’s other cool stuff in the Ioniq too, like the zero-gravity mode for the driver’s seat. It’s meant for relaxing while the car charges.

The sunroof opens up from the middle, like some kind of awesome automotive torpedo bay.

But the coolest thing might be this little panel to the left of the instrument cluster. It’s magnetic, like a refrigerator, so you can keep little notes to yourself.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes on sale later this year. Final pricing has not yet been released.
