A triple threat is coming to the Hyundai lineup. The long-awaited Ioniq will include an affordably priced hybrid, EV and plug-in hybrid, all based on a dedicated vehicle platform designed for efficiency, handling and comfort.
"Ioniq will attract an entirely new group of eco- and efficiency-oriented buyers in the U.S. market," said Mike O'Brien, vice president of Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America in a report. "With outstanding powertrain flexibility, design, connectivity, and advanced technologies, Ioniq meets the needs of a large and growing group of buyers needing a highly efficient, low-emissions vehicle without compromise to their daily lifestyles."
If you're in the market for a new, environmentally friendly mode of transportation, you will have to wait until fall 2016 when the Ioniq Electric makes its official debut. We will also have to wait for the Ioniq Hybrid, which launches this winter and the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid, which debuts next summer. Be sure to keep a close eye on our new inventory page for when we welcome to first member in the Ioniq family later this year.
