Hyundai Motor is introducing the All-New Hyundai IONIQ at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. The line-up will consist of the: IONIQ Hybrid, IONIQ Electric and IONIQ Plug-in. As the world’s first model offering three electrified powertrains, the IONIQ is an attempt to make low-to zero-emission mobility accessible to everyone but it will also try to deliver an uncompromised design and driving experience. This is a very ambitious goal if I may say so.
But it could succeed. The car looks promising (and is not one of those quite funny looking hybrids too). The technology looks good - The IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Plug-in both feature the new high efficiency (40% thermal efficiency) Kappa 1.6 GDI, direct injection petrol, four-cylinder engine, delivering 105 PS and 147 Nm of torque. The engine has been tailored to the hybrid application and is combined with a six-speed double clutch transmission. Usually you would get Continuously Variable Transmissions with Hybrids instead of something sporty or more driver oriented like a dual clutch gearbox. I do agree with Hyundai that the IONIQ would differ from its competitors with a more dynamic driving experience. A hybrid that can handle. Nice.
The IONIQ's electric motor enables pure electric driving and delivers instant torque which is one benefit of having an electric motor in any car. The IONIQ Hybrid’s electric motor delivers 32 kW (43.5 PS) with maximum torque of 170 Nm, powered by a lithium-ion-polymer battery with 1.56 kWh capacity positioned under the rear seats. In combination with the 1.6-GDI engine, IONIQ Hybrid offers a system output of 141 PS and up to 265 Nm of torque accelerating to a top speed of 185 km/h with targeted CO2 emissions as low as 79 g/km (combined).
Drivers choosing the IONIQ Plug-in can safely rely on over 50 kilometres of estimated pure electric driving range powered by the potent 8.9 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. The 61 PS electric motor together with the 1.6 GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine targets CO2 emissions as low as 32 g/km.as the chassis with rear multi-link suspension greatly enhancing driving dynamics.
The IONIQ Electric offers pure e-mobility through a 28 kWh lithium-ion-polymer battery for an estimated range of over 250 km. The instantly available maximum torque of 295 Nm is delivered by the electric motor with maximum output of 120 PS through the single-speed reducer transmission accelerating the car up to 165 km/h.
The All-New Hyundai IONIQ Line-up will celebrate its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show on March 1 during the Hyundai Press Conference at 10:30 CET on the Hyundai stand (No. 1040).
Livestreaming of the press conference at the Geneva Motor Show will be available at: https://livestream.com/HyundaiEurope/GIMS2016 Broadcast of pre-Show begins at 10:15 CET on Tuesday 1 March 2016.

further extending our product line-up,” said Jochen Sengpiehl, Vice President
Marketing at Hyundai Motor Europe.
The IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Plug-in both feature the new Kappa 1.6 GDI, direct
injection petrol, four-cylinder engine with a class-leading thermal efficiency of 40
percent, delivering 105 PS and 147 Nm of torque. The engine has been tailored to
the hybrid application and is combined with the directly responding, smooth shifting
six-speed double clutch transmission – differentiating the IONIQ from its competitors
with a more dynamic driving experience. The mated electric motor enables pure
electric driving and delivers instant torque as the chassis with rear multi-link
suspension greatly enhancing driving dynamics.
The IONIQ Hybrid’s electric motor delivers 32 kW (43.5 PS) with maximum torque of
170 Nm, powered by a lithium-ion-polymer battery with 1.56 kWh capacity positioned
under the rear seats. In combination with the 1.6-GDI engine, IONIQ Hybrid offers a
system output of 103.6 kW (141 PS) and up to 265 Nm of torque accelerating to a
top speed of 185 km/h with targeted CO2 emissions as low as 79 g/km (combined).
Drivers choosing the IONIQ Plug-in can safely rely on over 50 kilometres of
estimated pure electric driving range powered by the potent 8.9 kWh lithium-ion
polymer battery. The 45kW (61 PS) electric motor together with the 1.6 GDI four-
cylinder Kappa engine targets CO2 emissions as low as 32 g/km.
The IONIQ Electric offers pure e-mobility through a 28 kWh lithium-ion-polymer
battery for an estimated range of over 250 km. The instantly available maximum
torque of 295 Nm is delivered by the electric motor with maximum output of 88 kW
(120 PS) through the single-speed reducer transmission accelerating the car up to
165 km/h.
The IONIQ line-up provides an enhanced customer experience inside through state-
of-the art connectivity features like Android Auto, Apple Car Play as well as Tom Tom
live services and wireless charging of your smartphone. Furthermore, the driving
experience becomes digital through the 7-inch TFT instrument cluster displaying all
key driver information.
A holistic and innovative safety package including Autonomous Emergency Braking,
Lane Keep Assist System, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Smart
Cruise Control ensures high safety levels for drivers and passengers alike.
All versions feature the sleek aerodynamic silhouette with a class-leading Cd value of
0.24 that complements the soft lines and surfaces tracing the All-New IONIQ’s
outline. A fluid exterior shape and natural air flow channels emphasize the
aerodynamic body lines and volumes.
Blue accents in the IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Plug-in emphasize specific elements on
the exterior and completing a seamless design in the interior. The IONIQ Electric
features exclusive copper coloured accents, creating an impression that electricity
flows through the car’s interior inspired by the trait of copper being a conductor for
electricity.
“With our pioneering ix35 Fuel Cell electric vehicle and several hybrid and plug-in
hybrid models sold around the world, Hyundai Motor already has a proven capability
in electrified powertrains. Now, with the launch of our first dedicated model, we are
taking the lead as the only car manufacturer with hybrid, electric, plug-in hybrid and
fuel cell vehicles in production,” said Thomas A. Schmid, Chief Operating Officer at
Hyundai Motor Europe.
