Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid

Hyundai focused more on the affordability of the Ioniq 2020 than grandeur which is probably why you wouldn’t be able to see luxury leather seats inside the car expected on a Hybrid. On the other side, Ioniq’s interior is also made of eco-friendly materials, including surfaces made of wood, raw sugar cane, and volcanic stone which is a great deal in helping the environment.

It also has a nice-looking cabin with more than enough space for the driver and decent legroom too. However, with all the space given in the first row, there’s only limited space for the head and legroom in the rear.

On a lighter note, you can now upgrade the intuitive 8-inch touch screen to 10.25 inch featured in their basic infotainment system which is subtle yet very convenient. It also has electrically adjustable seats It also comes with dual climate control, smartphone charging points, and user-friendly, well-sorted cockpit which is just straightforward but perfectly functional.

Although simple-looking, the 2020 version boasts a brand new mesh-type grille with its new front and rear fascia. Its sleek LED headlamps with blue tinge depict the look of Hyundai’s hybrid technology as it also matches the whole aura of the cars’ hood.

You may notice that the car’s designers were able to successfully blend the Hyundai badge with the front grille without actually distinguishing the badge’s plastic from the grille. The famous Hyundai badge actually houses the safety sensors of the car so this is by far a really amazing design feature. The air ducts around the corners of the front fascia are embellished with LED lights, thus, giving the Ioniq a sporty aura. 

Meanwhile, the rear looks graceful with its roof slopes upon the trunk. The transparent glass pane on the upper part of the trunk door can’t go unnoticed as it adds to the overall beauty of the car while also ensuring that the driver gets the ample visibility he needs in the rear. On top of this, is a beautiful set of LED tail-lights that completes the whole amazing exterior package.

The Ioniq hybrid might be a bit smaller than its competitors such as the Toyota Prius but once you get to ride the Ioniq hybrid you will notice that what it lacks in size makes up for its performance as it is noticeably better than the latter. 

When it comes to the suspension, it is handled by a Macpherson strut in the front and Multilink in the rear.

Hyundai Ioniq combines technology with the power to deliver a satisfyingly smooth driving experience. The electric motor and petrol engine work together seamlessly to deliver plenty of torque when you need it most while maximizing efficiency and minimizing emissions.

Composing the Ioniq’s powertrain is the four-cylinder 1.6-litre engine with electric motors that can fire up to 104 hp and a maximum torque of 147 Nm. You can get a mileage of 56-58 MPG (or 24 kmpl) with this kind of set-up. Meanwhile, the car shifts gears via 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The braking system of this car is handled by both discs for the front and the rear. As for the safety features, the Hyundai Ioniq is equipped with SRS airbags, lane assist, Anti-Lock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, vehicle stability control system, as well as crash sensors.

For a price of P 1.55 Million, this car is definitely worth every penny. Apart from its good performance and adequate features, this car proves worthy of praise when it comes to performance and safety. This car is ideal for most office workers, bachelors who like to keep their daily commutes cool, and probably a small family.
