The Hybrid’s primary power source is a 1.6-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine developing 77kW and 147Nm, matched to a six-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT). Hyundai quietly launched the Ioniq Hybrid (pictured at top of story) to fleet buyers in 2018 to gauge market interest and it’s the entry point of a range that now includes a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and an EV. With new electric cars on their way to Australia, our market is predicted to grow significantly. Just 440 private EV sales were registered in 2018, while in Europe, which has a wider range of EVs to choose from, sales climbed 33 per cent over the previous year to 408,000. Mitsubishi’s diminutive I-MIEV, launched in 2010, led the electric vehicle (EV) charge, but EV sales are still miniscule in Australia.
Wondering why the Hyundai Ioniq comes as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and an EV? You’re not the only one.Įlectric cars have now been on Australian roads for two decades thanks to hybrid trailblazers like the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.
