170Nm synchronous motor and a rangeextending
1.6-litre GDi Atkinson cycle
petrol engine/dual-clutch automatic
combination that Hyundai says will deliver
1.1l/100km fuel economy. On electric

8.9kWh li-ion polymer battery.
The Ioniq Hybrid has a petrol/electric
powertrain that teams a 1.56kWh battery
and 32kW, 170Nm synchronous motor
with the 1.6-litre GDi Atkinson cycle petrol
engine and dual-clutch automatic to
provide 3.4L/100km fuel economy.
As can be expected in new cars, the Ioniq
range comes with an excellent range of
hi-tech and safety systems.
Standard across the range is Hyundai’s
SmartSense suite, offering Forward
Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot
Collision Warning, Driver Attention
Warning, Lane Keeping Assist – Line, Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, Electronic
Stability Control with Vehicle Stability
Management, LED Daytime Running
Lights, Emergency Stop Signal, Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System, Rear view
camera & park assist system, and Smart
Cruise Control.
Inside, the Ioniq range adopts an
8.0-inch colour touchscreen multimedia
system integrated into the dashboard.
The new system features a host of
connectivity means, such as Bluetooth
phone and audio streaming, and iPodcompatible
AUX and USB sockets. Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
The supervision cluster displays a
range of trip computer information, as
well as system status and visual alerts
from SmartSense and other safety systems.
The cluster can also present turn-by-turn
directions from the satellite navigation
system.
Hybrid and Plug-in Elite variants feature
a 4.2-inch TFT LCD colour display, and
Hybrid and Plug-in Premium variants
and all Electric variants feature a high
definition 7.0-inch TFT LCD colour display
incorporating a virtual speedometer/
tachometer.

In keeping with the ‘green’ nature of the
range, the interior of the Ioniq has some
interesting features. Sugar cane byproducts
contribute to 25 per cent of the
soft-touch door trim panels, while recycled
plastic, powdered wood and volcanic stone
make up 10 per cent of the sustainable
plastics used for other interior surfaces.
Bio-fabrics comprising 20 per cent sugar
cane by-products are also used to
