Hyundai Ioniq plug-in hybrid emissions as low as 32g/km

Date: 25 February 2016   |   Author:

Hyundai has revealed that its new 'electrified' model, the Ioniq - which will be available in fully-electric, plug-in hybrid and hybrid form - will emit as little as 32g/km in its plug-in incarnation and 79g/km as a standard hybrid.

Set to be unveiled at next week's Geneva motor show, the hybrid models will feature a new 105hp 1.6-litre petrol engine mated to a six-speed double-clutch automatic gearbox. Electric boost comes in the form of a 43.5hp motor powered by lithium-ion batteries, which together produce 141hp in the hybrid.

The plug-in hybrid Ioniq, meanwhile, can cover up to 31 miles on electric power alone, courtesy of a more powerful 61hp motor and higher capacity batteries, with emissions falling as low as 32g/km. The fully-electric Ionic, should be capable of a Nissan Leaf-matching 155 miles per charge, though it has a more powerful 120hp motor.

The interior of the Ioniq is set to boast Android Auto and Apple Car Play compatibility along with wireless smartphone charging.

"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," said Thomas Schmid, chief operating officer at Hyundai Motor Europe.

"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."
