Premiere of "the Korean Prius will take place in January — the first car show in the land of morning calm, followed by European debut at the Geneva motor show and the American in new York. But at the disposal of journalists appeared spy photos fully prepared hybrid Hyundai Ioniq taken during official photo shoot. Like?
Koreans have copied the form factor of the Prius: it's a hatchback overgrown class C+ — flattened limber, smoothly flowing roof and large trunk. Even an additional window on the tailgate between the tail lamps — like the Japanese model. However, it looks Ioniq prettier than the new Prius — with the traditional all the latest Hyundai hexagonal grille, the "fused" with her headlights, boomerangs running lights and the pyramids of the rear lights.
To look into the interior of the spies failed, but the idea of it can be the official teaser. Priazovskogo extremism Korean car is not, we should expect a massive Central tunnel, a virtual instrument cluster in front of the driver, the traditional transmission selector and, of course, multimediasystem.
Hyundai Ioniq will share a new platform with hybrid crossover Kia Niro will be produced in three guises. The basic version is a conventional hybrid with aspirated 1.6 GDI (105 HP) operating at an economical Atkinson cycle, an electric motor with a power of about 44 BHP and a six-speed double clutch "robot". The second option is also a hybrid, but with the possibility of recharging the battery from a household network. Well, the third version will appear later — is a pure electric car, which the Koreans while talking a little. It is only known that the energy will stock Li-ion battery.
Most likely, Hyundai Ioniq will cost 20 to 30 thousand dollars in the United States and 25-35 thousand euros in Europe in order to fight toyotovskogo Prius, which is in the Hyundai are going to press. As for Russia, in our showrooms "alternative" Hyundai, like Kia Niro, we will see hardly.published
