Any body extension needs to follow from there, and along the imaginary contour it defines, just as Hyundai does with the Ioniq 6.
If you extend from a lower point you invite separation, a cardinal sin in aerodynamics.
I could also tuft test it right too? Apparently some people complained about the Prius being too steep and would have flow separation but didn’t when it first came out.

Could anyone do a quick drawing or mock up of how I would extend the roofline then for Lower drag in my Ioniq?
