"Hyundai Motor has unveiled the hybrid version of its new Ioniq - an advanced, alternative-fuel compact vehicle. The Ioniq will be available with a choice of three powertrains unmatched by any other car in the world: electric; plug-in gasoline/electric hybrid; and gasoline/electric hybrid.

"The launching event announced to the world the start of new future mobility and our will for technological innovation," said Moon-Sik Kwon, Vice Chairman at Hyundai Motor R&D Centre. "Ioniq has been developed incorporating all of our technological capacities. The hybrid, pursuing the highest efficiency in its class, is economically efficient and stays true to the fundamentals of a car by delivering fun to drive through a modern design and dynamic driving performance," he added.

The Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid responds to rapidly changing customer lifestyles by breaking the mould for hybrid vehicles. It not only offers class-leading fuel efficiency but also a fun, responsive drive and attractive design - a unique mix not yet achieved by a hybrid vehicle.

The Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is equipped with a newly developed, dedicated 1.6 GDI four-cylinder Kappa engine and a 32 kW (44 PS) electric motor, which is fed by an advanced Lithium-Ion polymer battery. The two powertrains have combined maximum output of 104 kW (141 PS) and 265 Nm (27 kg.m) of torque. A new six-speed dual-clutch transmission (6DCT) provides responsive performance and a slick gear shift, resulting in an entertaining drive, and good fuel economy.

The Ioniq's coupe-like silhouette is streamlined to efficiently manage airflow. Combined with active and passive aero features, this helps it achieve an outstanding drag coefficient of just 0.24 Cd, making it one of the most aerodynamic cars on sale."

Oooh, pretty in a very understated way :)
 
What ever happened to using hydrogen?!
 
What ever happened to using hydrogen?!

I don't think the fuel cells are at the point where their cost of manufacture is low enough to be considered an economically viable source of energy. Couple that with the energy and safety requirements for storing and transporting hydrogen. You have to liquefy the hydrogen which requires lots of energy to do so.
 
"Hyundai Motor America unveiled the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, and Electric models for the U.S. market at the 2016 New York International Auto Show. The Ioniq eco-focused vehicle is the first in the world to offer three distinct electrified powertrains on a single, dedicated vehicle platform. Hyundai's approach for the Ioniq line delivers an uncompromising design and driving experience coupled with the latest in safety and convenience technologies, making it an appealing choice for a wide range of buyers. The Hyundai Ioniq is an important milestone in Hyundai's global sustainability strategy."

Problem as usual, are that the price for one of these normally exceed the fuel savings by a large margin.

Will have the same problem as all the hybrids, the crazy price makes it a niche little plaything for rich housewives so that they have something to talk about over tea.
 
Looks like they took the basic shape of the Prius and tried to make it vaguely attractive... and didn't really get all the way there.
 
Hyundai Motor Company announced the introduction of the Autonomous IONIQ concept during its press conference at 2016 Automobility LA (Los Angeles Auto Show). With a sleek design resembling the rest of the IONIQ lineup, the vehicle is one of the few self-driving cars in development to have a hidden LiDAR system in its front bumper instead of on the roof, enabling it to look like any other car on the road and not a high school science project.

The goal of the autonomous IONIQ concept was to keep the self-driving systems as simple as possible. This was accomplished by using the production car's Smart Cruise Control's forward-facing radar, Lane Keep Assist cameras and integrated them with LiDAR technology. Hyundai Motor is also developing its own autonomous vehicle operating system, with the goal of using a lot less computing power. This will result in a low-cost platform, which can be installed in future Hyundai models the average consumer can afford.

The car's hidden LiDAR system also allows the Autonomous IONIQ to detect the absolute position of surrounding vehicles and objects. In addition, the Autonomous IONIQ features:

Forward Facing Radar which detects the relative location and speed of objects in the vehicle's forward path to aid in route planning
A three camera array which detects pedestrian proximity, lane markings and traffic signals
A GPS antenna to determine the precise location of each vehicle
High definition mapping data from Hyundai MnSoft which delivers location accuracy, road grade/curvature, lane width and indication data
A Blind Spot Detection radar to ensure even simple lane changes are executed safely
These features build upon the capabilities of the production IONIQ, which offers Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Smart Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Assist. The vehicle also incorporates all autonomous controls into existing systems to ensure that drivers can have a seamless transition between active and self-driving modes.

In 2016, Hyundai Motor earned a license to test its autonomous cars in urban environments. To showcase the cars in action, Hyundai Motor will debut two Autonomous IONIQs at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2017 where the cars will be found driving up and down the neon-and sunlit boulevards of Las Vegas. In addition to offering media rides, these IONIQs will be prepared to tackle:

High levels of pedestrian traffic
Stop lights, stop signs and school zones
Road construction and roadblocks
Speed bumps
Dogs without a leash
Children at play
Shopping centers
Intersections without traffic signals
Hyundai Motor is testing three autonomous IONIQs and two Autonomous Tucson Fuel Cell vehicles at Hyundai Research and Development Center in Namyang, South Korea. Navigating Namyang for a self-driving car is a challenge because of the more than 11,000 engineers and designers on site every day.
