The Hyundai Ioniq: three very special cars (sponsored)

The Hyundai IONIQ stands for aesthetic progress. The five-seater hatchback is the only car in the world that’s available with a choice of three alternative powertrains: hybrid, electric and plug-in hybrid. Each variation allows pure electric driving.

Distinctive style. Outstanding economy. Dynamic driving characteristics. Advanced safety technologies such as autonomous emergency braking or the rear cross traffic alert, as well as the unique 3-in-1 drive concept. These are just a few of the extraordinary features that stand for the impressive new Hyundai IONIQ that has already helped the manufacturer to win numerous awards.

For example, Hyundai Motor has been awarded the Technology award for its Green Technologies by Auto Express in their annual New Car Awards 2016. The company has been recognised as the first manufacturer to offer its customers a complete range of eco-technologies; which include e.g. the All-New IONIQ – the world’s first car offering three electrified powertrains. Hyundai Motor also has excelled in the 2017 Carbuyer awards scooping three awards; two of them for the IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Electric. The new IONIQ Hybrid was named Best Hybrid, the IONIQ Electric was awarded Best Road-Tax-Exempt. And Hyundai’s IONIQ has been awarded Best Small Hatch at the UK Car of the Year Awards 2017.

For the first time, the IONIQ makes eco-friendly motoring possible in a modern hatchback with a choice of three different drivetrains: hybrid, electric and plug-in hybrid. Especially in terms of driving dynamics the 4.47 metre-long car is convincing. With maximum torque of 295Nm available from zero revs, the 88kW (118bhp/120PS) IONIQ Electric* pulls strongly, accelerating from 0-62mph in only 9.9 seconds. It has an electronically limited top speed of 103mph. Crucially, the maximum range from a single charge is 174 miles. The IONIQ Hybrid* delivers a total of 104kW (139bhp/141PS) and 265Nm from its combination of a petrol engine and an electric motor. On the road, this translates into a 0-62mph time of 10.8 seconds on standard models, as well as a top speed of 115mph.

All three variants of the IONIQ meet the expectations of a growing group of motorists who want a highly efficient, low-emission vehicle without having to compromise on driving characteristics or design – Hyundais number one purchase reason. These futuristic, hi-tech and eco-friendly attributes pay off for the IONIQ. It has extremely strong residual value forecasts according to independent studies by trade experts EurotaxGlass’s and CAP.

Another contribution to these positive price predictions are the unique Hyundai five-year/unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty, as well as the eight-year warranty, covering the high-voltage battery up to 125,000 miles. Buyers are promised real peace of mind.
