The Ioniq is the name of an eco-friendly vehicle model recently launched by the automaker. Hyundai Motor unveiled its hybrid model first last month with a plan to launch pure electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in phases. Equipped with a motor that can produce up to 120 horsepower, the Ioniq Electric can travel more than 169 kilometers on a single battery charge, the longest among electric cars being sold in Korea. It can also accelerate to 165 kph, ensuring relatively powerful driving performance, the company said. The Ioniq Electric is 4,470 mm long, 1,820 mm wide and 1,450 mm high, with its wheelbase measuring 2,700 mm. Hyundai Motor set its prices in the 40 million won (US$32,706) range, but it added that customers can benefit from nearly 20 million won in central and regional government subsidies that will increase its price merits. Hyundai Motor aims to sell 4,000 units of the Ioniq Electric this year.

The electric model can travel for up to 169 km on a single charge, the farthest among electric vehicles available here. The record was previously held by Kia's Soul EV, with a range of 148 km. The new Ioniq will cost around W400 million, a little more than GM's Spark (W39.9 million) but cheaper than Renault Samsung's SM3 EV (W41.9 million) and BMW's i3 (W57.1 million) (US$1=W1,230). With a government subsidy of W12 million provided for any purchase of an electric vehicle, consumers can technically purchase the car for less than W30 million. As the battery runs down, drivers can keep track of the maximum remaining travel distance. The vehicle also warns the driver if there is no charging station within range. Hyundai aims to sell 4,000 units of the new model this year. [© chosun.com] ... http://www.worldcarfans.com/1160222104215/hyundai-ioniq-electric-first-pic-and-specs-are-out ...
