The plug-in hybrid version of the Hyundai Ioniq will go on sale in the UK later this month with a starting price of £ 24,995, including the £ 2,500 grant from the local government. The third and final variant of the Hyundai Ioniq range will offer up to 39 miles of pure electric range and a total driving range of 680 miles.

The hybrid powertrain combines a 105 PS 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 61 PS electric motor which are paired via a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox instead of a CVT we usually find in similarly-minded models. The combined output is rated at 141 PS.


The Hyundai Ioniq PHEV also emits 26gr/km of CO2 while fuel economy is rated at a combined 1.1lt/100km (256.8 mpg UK) on the NEDC cycle. 0-100 km/h comes in 10.6 seconds, with the top speed set at 178 km/h.

Hyundai UK will offer the Ioniq PHEV in Premium and Premium SE specification, with the former offering a high level of standard kit, including 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, Apple Car Play and Android Auto, Smart Cruise Control, an 8-inch infotainment system with navigation, heated front seats and steering wheel, LED headlights and rear combination lamps, wireless smartphone charging, and a Rear Parking Assist System with Rear View Camera.


The list of standard driver assistance systems is also impressive and includes Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist System and individual Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Customers can also opt for a 7kW wall box that can be installed at their homes for £ 300, including the installation.
