Hyundai IONIQ 6 Undercoating: Starting from ₩1,000,000. Significantly reduces road and wind noise for a quieter ride.
Why Your Hyundai IONIQ 6 Needs Undercoating
While the Hyundai IONIQ 6 is celebrated for its electric silence, this very quietness can amplify other noises. Road noise, wind noise at higher speeds, and vibrations become more apparent. Undercoating addresses these issues, enhancing the already refined driving experience of your IONIQ 6. It's not just about blocking sound; it's about reducing vibrations for improved comfort and a more premium feel.
Comprehensive Noise Reduction with Undercoating
Our undercoating service for the IONIQ 6 focuses on key areas to combat noise intrusion. The process begins with meticulous preparation, including the removal of wheels and wheel well covers to ensure a clean surface for optimal adhesion. We then apply a high-quality butyl pad to the wheel wells to dampen vibrations. Following this, a D3-grade sound-deadening material, similar to factory application, is applied in two layers using ultrasonic welding. This multi-layer approach significantly reduces road noise and tire friction sounds entering the cabin.
The doors also receive attention. Undercoating here not only blocks external noise but also improves the acoustics of your sound system by reducing panel vibrations. We carefully work around electrical components to ensure no damage occurs and that future manufacturer servicing is unaffected. Similar to the wheel wells, a dual-layer D3-grade sound-deadening material is applied to the doors for maximum sound absorption.
Further noise reduction is achieved in the trunk and engine bay. These areas are treated to minimize vibrations and noise originating from the rear and front of the vehicle. For those concerned about wind noise, a specific wind noise kit can be added to further enhance the quietness of your IONIQ 6, especially during high-speed driving.
Undercoating Installation Process:
- Thorough cleaning of the application areas (wheel wells, doors, trunk, engine bay).
- Application of vibration-damping butyl pads.
- Installation of dual-layer D3-grade sound-deadening material using ultrasonic welding.
- Optional addition of a wind noise reduction kit.
This comprehensive approach ensures that your IONIQ 6 offers a serene driving environment, free from the common annoyances of road and wind noise.
