Hyundai is displaying the Hyundai Ioniq electric at
the 2017 Thai Motor Expo. The electric car went on sale internationally last
year.
The Hyundai Ioniq electric is the greenest of the
Hyundai Ioniq trio of eco cars. It features a cleaner front-end compared to the
Hyundai Ioniq hybrid and Hyundai Ioniq plug-in since the motor does not require
cooling. Other exterior highlights include LED headlamps and rear combination
lamps with a unique pattern, copper or silver coloured character line below the
bumpers and C-shaped LED DRLs. Blazing Yellow colour is exclusive to the Ioniq
electric.
On the inside, the Ioniq electric gets copper trim,
8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android
Auto and wireless charging for smartphones and chrome-accented gear knobs,
pedals footrest and door scuff pads. The Hyundai Ioniq electric is 4,470 mm
long, 1,820 mm wide and 1,460 mm tall. It has a 2,700 mm wheelbase. It is
powered by an electric motor that generates 120 PS and 295 Nm of torque. The
electric motor is connected to a 28 kWh battery that gives up to 280 km of
driving range on a single charge.
The Hyundai Ioniq electric has two charging ports,
one for standard charging and one for fast charging. Full charging takes
approximately 12 hours using a standard household socket. This time reduces to
4 hours 25 minutes using a special wall box charger. DC Fast Chargers can
charge the battery to 80% capacity in just 23 minutes.
