Can a hybrid car be a little something for everyone? It's a question the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq tries to answer in the affirmative, with sleek styling, outstanding efficiency, and plenty of convenient technology features. At Selma Hyundai, we want to give you a closer look.
In this car review, shoppers across Fresno, Clovis, and Visalia can read up on the innovative Ioniq and see how it has earned so many fans in the short period since its inception. See what this exciting compact car offers!
2019 Ioniq: An Aerodynamic Exterior
Never has aerodynamic design looked so good as it does in the 2019 Ioniq. Every aspect of this vehicle is designed to maximize efficiency, from the fastback sloping roof in the rear to the angle of the windshield.
With the sheet metal chiseled to perfection at every angle, this car sees a drag coefficient of just 0.24. It's enough to let the Ioniq slip seamlessly through the wind, without minimal resistance to speak of.
Style and function blend in other ways, too. You can equip those sharp headlamps with Dynamic Bending Light, so they turn in sync with the steering wheel to give you a sneak peek around corners at night. High Beam Assist is another optional feature, dimming your high beams as needed for oncoming traffic.
Interior Features: Eco-Friendly Vibes Â
The Hyundai Ioniq powertrain isn't the only environmentally friendly aspect of this car. The Ioniq has eco-friendly materials throughout the cabin, including powdered wood and volcanic stone in the door panels. These materials lessen the appearance of plastics in the car.
Did you know the Ioniq is also made with sound-absorbing materials? To deliver a smooth and quiet ride, this car adds these materials, along with air curtains, to manage the airflow in and around the car. It adds up to better aerodynamics and a more peaceful drive for you.Â
The seating patterns are pleasant to the eye, too. Premium cloth upholstery comes standard in your choice of Beige or Charcoal Black. On the top trim level, you'll get genuine leather for a more elegant experience.
An Efficient Ride: Hyundai Ioniq MPG
At long last, the figures you've been waiting for: the Hyundai Ioniq MPG ratings. This hybrid car is highly efficient, with an EPA-estimated 57 city and 59 highway MPG in its base trim, the Ioniq Blue. The upper-level SEL and Limited trims see 55 city and 54 highway MPG, respectively.Â
Under the hood of every Ioniq is a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine, paired with an interior-permanent magnet synchronous motor. Together, the two produce 139 horsepower for solid acceleration on the road. Thanks to immediately available torque, this car can take off from a stop with ease.
Another advantage of the 2019 Ioniq is its regenerative braking. The brakes convert the energy applied to stop the car into electricity to charge the lithium-ion polymer battery. Plus, this process keeps your brake pads in top condition, longer!
