Wind cheater! Hyundai and Kia devise new tech that will increase EV range, speed and grip ALL at the same time

AutoExec Summary
The large Korean automotive group, which includes Hyundai and Kia, has revealed a new aerodynamic feature for upcoming electric vehicles. The Active Air Skirt (AAS), jointly developed by Kia, Hyundai, and Genesis, consists of wind deflectors that activate at speeds above 80km/h. These spoilers reduce drag by up to 2.8%, increasing range by six kilometers. The technology, positioned between the front bumper and wheels, retracts at speeds below 70km/h and operates up to 200km/h. Hyundai and Kia have applied for patents in South Korea and the US, planning to incorporate AAS in their next-gen vehicles. This addition will join existing aerodynamic features in vehicles like the Hyundai Ioniq 6. Brands mentioned: Hyundai, Kia, Genesis.
