Inkriql Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 The Hyundai Ioniq belongs to a new litter of green cars of the Korean brand and is offered globally in hybrid, plug-in and 100% electric versions. The country will arrive the first by combining a 1.6L Atkinson cycle with direct injection of gasoline that generates 105 hp and 147 Nm, with a permanent synchronous electric motor of 43.5 hp and 170 Nm. The combined power is 141 hp and 265 Nm for figures such as 0 to 100 of 10.8s, 185 km / h maximum and a declared consumption in the mixed cycle of 3.6 L / 100 km. The tank is 45 liters and the batteries are lithium-ion technology that allows them to be more compact and lighter delivering 1.56 kWh. According to the brand, it can go up to 120 km / h only with electricity (although they did not clarify how many kilometers it can travel only “on batteries”). The brand has long been unaware that the Hyundai Ioniq is not only efficient, but also fun and that is why it highlights two of its differentiating qualities, multi-link rear suspension and double clutch housing with 6 changes and steering wheel cams. In addition, the Ioniq uses high strength steels (53%) to ensure safety and low weight, complemented by large aluminum parts such as bonnet and tailgate. Speaking of the rear, the hybrid model has a special silhouette (which requires dividing the window between the roof and part of the gate) that allows a cx of 0.24. It also has elements such as the active grill that closes or opens to achieve the balance between cooling and better air penetration. It should be noted the cabin of the Hyundai Ioniq, not only is it spacious, it also has a simple, elegant design with a good repertoire of plastics, textures and joints. Among the most prominent comfort equipment, it should be mentioned that both front seats have heating and ventilation, the driver's seat offers electric regulation, access and ignition is “keyless”, there is a wireless cell phone charger and two USB ports, cruise control , dual climate control with function that only serves the driver if it is only to save energy, and ambient lighting in blue The multimedia device has an 8 ”touch screen that works with Android Auto and Apple Carplay and the instrument cluster is made up of a 7” color display that changes graphics and color when it enters Sport mode. 5 star security The Ioniq received the 5 Euro NCAP stars and in addition to the structure I named above it offers four-wheel disc brakes, ESP, DLR lights and full LED front lights with automatic ignition, blind spot detection (BSD), alert rear traffic collision (RCCW), rear parking sensors and recoil chamber with dynamic guide lines and sound signal, 7 airbags and Isofix anchors. Hyundai already has a couple of units in the country and allowed us to take a short walk through our streets. The first thing I can tell you is that it is very quiet and the gasoline engine is very well "hidden", both in loudness and in vibrations, so that you do not realize when it started. The dynamics feel correct, somewhat rough in studs and other speed moderators since the brand decided to bring the largest possible 17 ”tires that limit the rubber profile. At low speed steering and brake they felt correct and urban speed too. When I decided to bury the right pedal on the carpet the box was quick, although the Ioniq did not feel explosive. We will see what happens in a complete test because its 265 Nm of torque seems more than succulent. Price and Warranty At Hyundai, they want to wait to see how much the internal tax is set to publish the price of the Ioniq since, despite the tax advantages of being a hybrid, it could remain in luxury. Awaiting its final price (it should be similar to that of the Prius) the brand anticipates that the warranty is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, while for batteries it is 10 years with no mileage limit. Taking into account that in CABA and other cities, hybrids do not pay a patent, and added to the differential in fuel consumption, the brand announces that in 3 years you could save up to USD 8,500 compared to a conventional car ... we will see 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
