Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid and Electric: Korean LeisTreter

  • Site author Marcel Sommer

With the IONIQ, Hyundai presents a model that will cause a stir in its three drive variants offered. Purely electrically or as a hybrid-with plug-in drive, the Korean is also recommended as an alternative to diesel.

Should a designer be presented in front of the task at some point "Take me a single car from a Honda Civic and a Toyota Prius", he now gets the perfect template from Hyundai. Because with the new Ioniq, the Koreans in terms of design are not leaning out of the window. At the same time, it does not look quite as polarizing as its design role models.

Electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid

What is special about the Hyundai Ioniq is not its almost known design. Not even that it comes onto the market as a purely electric vehicle. No, it is the fact that this model is the first of its kind that will be available both as a purely electrical, hybrid and also as a plug-in hybrid vehicle.

Briefly explained: electric cars, hybrids, plug-in hybrid

A Hybrid drive (short HEV, This stands for Hybrid Electric Vehicle) consists of an electrical and a gasoline or diesel engine. The hybrid battery is only charged during the trip via a generator, either by the gasoline engine or by braking energy recovery. Purely electrically, a HEV can only drive short distances. The car has consumption advantages, especially in city traffic. The classic example of a HEV is the Toyota Prius.

At the Plug-in hybrid ((Phev) the car has another plug on board: In addition to charging while driving, the battery is "loaded" on the socket or a charging station. Routes up to around 50 kilometers can be completely mobile before the combustion engine has to help again. Newer hybrids create up to 100 km of e-range. The hybrid battery of a PHEV has a lot more capacity than with normal hybrids and usually uses lithium-ion technology. That is why these cars are much more expensive. Advantage: Due to the full combustion engine, the overall range of the hybrid corresponds to that of a normal diesel or gasoline vehicle. The PHEVs include VW Passat GTE, Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid, Audi A3 E-Tron, BMW I3 (with Range Extender) or Porsche Panamera S E-HYBRID.

A pure Electric car ((Bev, stands for Battery Electric Vehicle) has only one battery as an energy source. Examples are: Tesla Model 3 and Model S, Renault Zoe, BMW i3 (without Range Extender) or Nissan Leaf.

It starts in October the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, followed by EV in November, i.e. the Ioniq with a purely electrical drive. In the summer of next year, the plug-in hybrid completes the trio. After a first test drive with the hybrid and EV versions, it is clear that the two Japanese from Honda and Toyota have to dress warmly.

Hyundai The hybrid consumes 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

So that the owner of one from 33.300 Euro (Minus 4000 euros electric car purchase bonus costs 29.300 Euro) Do not have to do expensive Hyundai Ioniq Elektro even in winter, but the included parking heater ensures the purely electrical version. In addition, the exact time for recharging can be programmed, which makes sense in some countries with a cheap night current. Also from the start, the tracking assistant and the speed control system with adaptive distance control are also included, which offer you a first taste of purely autonomous driving in Korean. Almost completely eliminated, regardless of all the assistance technology, the left foot of the EV driver can.

Since the strength of the recuperation performance in four strengths can be adapted to your own driving behavior in four thicknesses, the brake pedal only uses shortly before the actual standing. The keyword here is: one-pedal feeling. The owner is pleased not to the workshop, which specializes in the brake block exchange.

Long loading time at normal socket

What will not be happy about the owner is the twelve -hour loading time on a conventional socket. But, if you get into a purchase of an electric car that is currently still designated as an adventure, you will order the 745 euro wall box, which reduces the loading time by around a third, i.e. to 4.5 hours. At a 100 kW charging station, 80 percent are reached after 23 minutes. The lithium-ion polymer battery equipped with a capacity of 28 kilowatt hours then offers a range of around 280 kilometers. With the air conditioning and aggressive electric foot use switched on, it will of course nothing. 165 kilometers per hour are possible. The silent sprint to 100 km / h thanks 120 hp performance and 295 Newton meters of torque around ten seconds.

Similarly long and when the land street pace has been achieved on the decibels, the 23 drives the 23.900 euro hybrid brother of the Hyundai Ioniq. The fact that he is silent even at slower speed is of course due to his type of drive.

Why not a pure e-mode?

It is not understandable that the driver does not use EV button, as is known from most hybrid vehicles. Is actually exactly that, in addition to the spriter saving, the highlight on a modern hybrid vehicle. Even if there is only a few hundred meters of silent glide. Maybe the switch will come in the next generation.

Until then, the owners of the 185 kilometers per hour will be quick and 1.4 tons of Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid not missing too much. Pressing the non-existent EV switch takes over as long as the electronics for one, so that the up to five occupants recognize in very specific driving conditions based on the small green lettering eV that they are currently purely electrical and do not consume a fuel. The fuel consumption of 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers is not reached even then. But under five are usually already. If you choose the highest of the three equipment variants, you have to calculate half a liter of more, due to the multi-weight of around 100 kilograms and the 17 instead of 15-inch tires.

The ideal taxi?

If the accelerator pedal is used in full splendor, the 105 hp of the 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine combines with the 44 hp of the permanent magnet synchronous electromotor to a system output of 141 hp.

On our e-mobility portal site you will find all e-vehicles & hybrids available on the German market with technical data, prices, delivery times and model comparisons. There are ongoing insider news, tests of all important vehicles, an overview of charging stations and a range computer.

You can also arrange a test drive for your desired car for free and start e-mobility easily.

The electrical energy is provided from a lithium polymer battery with a capacity of 1.56 kilowatt hours. At the same time, 265 Newton meters are led to the front wheels by automated six-speed dual clutch transmission. A gear that can be both angels and devils in its characteristics. A simple crossing of the election lever on sport and the accelerator pedal even implements even minimal foot movements in propulsion. The steering feels very pleasant in all two modes. In combination with the comfortable suspension, the new Hyundai Ioniq is perfect for the city. In particular, families with small children or taxi drivers will quickly fall into the easy -to -clean plastic surfaces in the Koreans, which is also sufficient in the rear, also find enough space for adults.

  1. Dimensions – when will you finally become a wideeman road ….
    Called with the involvement of the exterior mirrors…? Here, in the IONIQ hybrid and plug-in, means – … Called with the involvement of the exterior mirrors…? Here, with the IONIQ hybrid and plug -in it says 1820 mm – which looks like this than since this measure without the exterior mirrors. So how wide is this model with exterior mirrors, which is absolutely relevant for many single garage owners?

  3. He cannot become a diesel killer
    This plague-in- is also too weakly only a maximum of 50 km, only a shopkeeper will. When the plug-in comes with 48V, the thing will be more exciting purely electrical. Range of approx. 200 km – 500 km and more. If the entire range then increases to more than 1500 km, it becomes buyable and and could the diesel eventl. detach.

  4. Parking heating?
    brilliant. Why is this not required by our taxi vehicles? Back to the Hyundai: -"In the summer of next year, the plug-in hybrid completes the trio"- So the car will only be interesting in the next year! Only plug-in hybrids can currently cover all areas: electrical city traffic and overland trips without restructuring. Therefore, it is still a long way to the electric vehicle!
