The 2021 Hyundai IONIQ is a five-passenger, five-door compact hatchback that’s available with one of three environmentally friendly, electrified powertrains.
The IONIQ Hybrid is equipped with a 1.6L inline four-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a six-speed automatic transmission, for a combined output of 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid features a similar setup, but with a bigger, 8.9 kWh battery pack in order to offer an estimate EV driving range of up to 46 kilometres or 29 miles on a single charge.
Meanwhile, the IONIQ Electric boasts a fully electric powertrain that develops 134 horsepower and 218 pound-feet of torque, along with a 38.3 kWh battery pack that provides an estimated driving range of up to 274 kilometres or 170 miles.
Available features for the 2021 Hyundai IONIQ include LED lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels, a power sunroof, leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, 8.0- and 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreens and a Harman/Kardon eight-speaker sound system. The active safety feature list rounds up blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning with autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection, lane departure warning and lane keep assist, front and rear park sonar, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function and high beam assist.
Hyundai will soon be introducing the IONIQ sub-brand for its upcoming line of electric vehicles, with the first model expected to be the IONIQ 5 midsize crossover. As a result, the 2021 Hyundai IONIQ will likely be the last edition of the current-generation hatchback.
