Hyundai Ioniq U.S. Car Sales Figures

The Ioniq is the first car in the world to be available with three different types of electrified power trains on the same platform: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full electric. That makes it a challenger to both the Toyota Prius and the Nissan Leaf. US sales of the Ioniq hybrid will start in Q1 of 2017 and will be followed by the EV in the spring of 2016, while the PHEV will arrive in showrooms in the second half of 2017. On the same platform, sister brand Kia has developed a hybrid crossover, the Kia Niro.

The Ioniq Hybrid has a 1,6-liter Direct Injection petrol engine with 104 hp matched to a 32kW/43 hp electric motor and a six-speed double clutch automatic gearbox. Combined torque is 109 lb.-ft. It has a top speed of 185 km/h (of which up to 120 km/h is possible in electric mode). The Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid has the same power train, but a larger battery pack which should enable it to drive up to 30 miles in electric mode. The Ioniq EV has an 120 hp electric motor with 121 lb.-ft of torque. Top speed is limited to 100 mph but it should be able to reach up to 150 miles on a single charge.
