The Hyundai Ioniq (a portmanteau of ion and unique)[1] is a line-up of electric drive mid-size hatchbacks manufactured by Hyundai. The line-up includes a hybrid electric model, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid; an all-electric model, the Hyundai Ioniq Electric; and a plug-in hybrid, the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in.[2][3] The Hyundai Ioniq is the first vehicle to be available with all three of these power trains.[4]

The Ioniq Hybrid was first revealed in South Korea in January 2016.[5] The official debut of the three model line-up took place in the March 2016 Geneva Motor Show. The North American debut was at the 2016 New York International Auto Show.[3] In November 2016, with an EPA rated fuel economy of 136 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mpg-e) (1.7 L/100 km), the 2017 Ioniq Electric became the most efficient EPA-certified vehicle considering all fuels and of all years, surpassing the 2014-2016 model year BMW i3.[6][7]

The Ioniq Hybrid was launched first in its home market in February 2016.[5] The Ioniq Electric was released in South Korea in July 2016, and sold over 1,000 units during its first two months in the market.[8] The Ioniq Electric is expected to be released in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2017, and the Ioniq Plug-in in the fourth quarter.[9] Each Ioniq variant will be sold in all 50 states, but it will not be available in all Hyundai dealerships.[10] Hyundai expects to sell 30,000 hybrids globally in 2016, including 15,000 domestically, and 77,000 in 2017.[3]

Body and chassis
Class Mid-size car
Body style Hybrid electric 5-door hatchback
Powertrain
Engine 1.6-liter Kappa four cylinder engine
Power: 78 kW (105 hp)[11]
Electric motor 32 bhp (24 kW)[11]
Battery 1.56 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery[11]

The Ioniq is Hyundai's first entry into the expanding hybrid car market competing with the Toyota Prius. Sharing the same powertrain with the Kia Niro hybrid crossover, the Ioniq is powered by a 1.6-liter Kappa four cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine with 40% thermal efficiency capable of delivering 78 kW (105 hp) and an estimated 109 lb·ft (148 N·m) of torque. This engine has been specifically tailored to the hybrid application and is combined with a shifting six-speed dual-clutch transmission.[11]

The Ioniq Hybrid’s electric motor delivers an estimated 32 bhp (24 kW) with an estimated maximum torque of 125 lb·ft (169 N·m), powered by a lithium-ion polymer battery with 1.56 kWh capacity. The battery is efficiently positioned under the rear passenger seats.[11] In combination with the 1.6-liter direct-injected engine, Ioniq Hybrid offers an estimated total system output of 139 bhp (104 kW) and 195 lb·ft (264 N·m).[12]

Unlike other hybrid models in the market, the Ioniq does not have a lead-acid auxiliary 12V battery, resulting in an approximate 26 lb (12 kg) reduction in weight. With higher usage of lightweight components and a more compact build, the cargo-screen cover is about 25% lighter than the types used in other Hyundai models. The Ioniq uses aluminum in the hood and tailgate, reducing weight by 27 lb (12 kg) compared with conventional steel and no measurable disadvantages in noise or vibration.[11]

Its aerodynamic design helped lower the drag coefficient of the Ioniq down to 0.24.[12] Excessive weight is reduced by utilization of high-strength steel for the structure and aluminium for non-structural components.[5] Hyundai expects the model with version with 15-inch wheels to obtain an EPA rated combined fuel economy between 57 mpg-US (4.1 L/100 km; 68 mpg-imp) and 58 mpg-US (4.1 L/100 km; 70 mpg-imp), just ahead of the 2016 Toyota Prius Eco (56 mpg-US (4.2 L/100 km; 67 mpg-imp)).[13]

The Ioniq Hybrid was released in South Korea in February 2016.[5] The hybrid was launched in Malaysia in November 2016. Two Ioniq Hybrid trims are available, HEV and HEV Plus.[14]

Model years 2017
Body and chassis
Class All-electric mid-size car
Body style 5-door hatchback
Powertrain
Electric motor Rear-engine 120hp 295nm

250 km (160 mi) (NEDC)[2]
169 km (105 mi) (South Korea)[2]

The all-electric model features a 28 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery (LiPo) that delivers an EPA-rated all-electric range of 124 mi (200 km).[2][15] Hyundai expected the Ioniq to deliver a range of 180 km (110 mi).[16] At the 2016 LA Auto Show, Hyundai announced that they are planning to extend the electric range of the Ioniq EV to more than 200 mi (320 km) by 2018.[17]

The Ioniq Electric has a 88 kW (120 PS) electric motor with 295 Nm of torque, and can be charged up to 80% in 33 minutes at 50 kW or in 24 minutes at 100 kW with a DC fast charging station.[18] An integrated In-Cable Control Box (ICCB) also allows drivers to charge their Ioniq at a regular household outlet. The charging plug of the car is located in a position where gas fillers are normally located.[2] The Ioniq features paddle shifters to allow drivers to choose from one of four levels of regenerative braking.[16]

Range and efficiency

Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) four-cycle test, the 2017 Ioniq Electric combined fuel economy rating is 136 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (mpg-e) (1.7 L/100 km), with an energy consumption of 25 kW·h/100 mi (15.7 kW·h/100 km). The fuel economy rating for city is 150 mpg-e (1.6 L/100 km) and 122 mpg-e (1.9 L/100 km) in highway.[15] With these ratings, the Ioniq Electric became in November 2016 the most efficient EPA-certified vehicle considering all fuels and of all years, surpassing the 2014-2016 model year BMW i3, and also the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime, the most energy efficient plug-in hybrid in EV mode.[6][7]

The 2017 Ioniq Electric has a combined EPA-rated range of 124 mi (200 km).[15] Charging time is rated at 4 hours on a Level 2 fast charger (240 v).[19] The range under the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) standard is 250 km (160 mi), and 169 km (105 mi) under the South Korean cycle.[2]

Ioniq Plug-in

Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in
Overview
Manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company
Production Schedule for late 2016
Model years 2017
Body and chassis
Class Plug-in hybrid mid-size car
Body style 5-door hatchback
Powertrain
Engine 1.6-L GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine
Power: 78 kW (105 hp)[11]
Electric motor 45 kW (60 hp)[2]
Battery 8.9 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery[2]
Electric range 50 km (31 mi) (Hyundai)[2]

The plug-in hybrid model has a 8.9 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery (LiPo) capable of delivering 50 km (31 mi) in all-electric mode. The Ioniq Plug-in combines a 45 kW (61 PS) electric motor and 1.6-L GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine with 40% thermal efficiency capable of delivering 78 kW (105 hp).[2][11] Hyundai expects the Ioniq Plug-in to achieve a combined EPA rating of 125 mpg-e (28 kW·h/100 mi; 17.1 kW·h/100 km) in all-electric mode.[11]

The Ioniq Plug-in has the same dual-clutch transmission as the hybrid variant. This is an important differentiator for Hyundai from the majority of other hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars that use a continuously variable transmission, which have been criticized for their poor acceleration performance. Enhancing the Ioniq Plug-in fuel efficiency and dynamic driving characteristics, the driver can select either SPORT or ECO modes. The SPORT function holds lower gears longer and combines power from the engine and electric motor for maximum performance. In ECO mode, the dual-clutch transmission optimizes gear selection for efficiency, upshifting earlier to achieve class-leading fuel economy.[11]
