Hyundai is making headway in the hybrid and EV segments with the upcoming release of their brand-new model: the IONIQ. Slated to debut at the 2016 New York Auto Show, the model is the first of its kind to be offered with either an electric powertrain, gas/electric hybrid powertrain or plug-in gas/electric hybrid powertrain in one body type. Due to this unique availability, the IONIQ will better suit a range of drivers and draw in a wide variety of car buyers across the nation.
The new Hyundai IONIQ is a representation of the brand’s foray into the future. The "ion" part of the name is a reference to the elements of creation, while the second half of the name refers to the model's uniqueness. Designed to deliver responsive handling regardless of which powertrain is outfitted on the vehicle, the IONIQ is unlike any other hybrid or EV on the market today and is destined to be a game changer once it arrives at Reliable Hyundai. From generating low emissions to producing top performance, this special model is a perfect addition to any vehicle collection.
All powertrains offered on the IONIQ are efficient and perform at optimal levels. The all-electric version uses a lithium-ion battery to drive the model, while the plug-in hybrid utilizes battery powered gained from charging the car and fuel-efficient energy to expand its driving range. The hybrid model uses a gas engine to charge the on-board battery, boosting efficiency.
A step in the right direction when it comes to taking over the "green" car market, the IONIQ will prove to be a hit for Hyundai. Its range of powertrain options and commitment to remaining eco-friendly without sacrificing performance will appeal to today's drivers.
