Big shoutout to khan_sultan for shooting these pictures & his coverage of the Auto Expo. Thanks for sharing, man!
The Hyundai Ioniq Electric and Ioniq Hybrid have been put on display at the Hyundai stall.
Let's take a look a the Ioniq Electric first:
A quick look at the specifications:
The Ioniq comes in three variants - Full-electric, Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid. The pure-electric version has a grey plastic fascia sans the grille and orange accents. It gets twin-projector headlights:
The Ioniq has a coupe-like side profile:
Grey bumper inserts and wraparound tail lights on the Ioniq Electric. Also note the split rear windshield:
The electric version gets unique 5-spoke alloy wheels:
The interior looks pretty conventional except for the centre console which has drive mode buttons instead of lever:
Here's a closer look at the centre console. The circular thing is the ash tray:
Here's what it looks like under the skin:
The large black box houses a 28 kWh battery pack:
The electric motor along with a reduction gear and an Electric Power Control Unit (EPCU) is placed in the front:
The electric motor produces 118 BHP and 295 Nm of torque:
The reduction gear increases the torque to 310 Nm:
The EPCU consist of an inverter, DC-DC converter and a vehicle control unit:
On-board charger converts 230 V to DC:
Here's how the system works:
Regenerative braking can be activated using the paddle shifters:
Now, let's take a look at the Ioniq Hybrid:
It has a similar front end except that it gets a gloss black front grille and fascia. Also note that the Hybrid version has blue accents and a single projector light:
Rear end styling is similar to the electric version however it gets black bumper inserts and a 'Hybrid' badge:
A closer look at the rear end:
Again, these 5-spoke alloy wheels are unique to the hybrid:
Ioniq is giving the Prius serious competition worldwide and I hope Hyundai launch it here to continue the trend. However - at those prices, it would only be another brand building exercise.
Tushar K, many thanks for the photos and the data. My next car change slated for around 2019 or 2020 will be an all-electric or plug-in hybrid. When serious players (in the Indian context) like Hyundai, Maruti & Mahindra are looking at the 'e' factor we know it is only a question of time.

India-Bound Hyundai Ioniq Facelift Spied For The First Time
Quote:
Hyundai Ioniq comes with revised front and rear with a battery pack from Kona, which offers better range than the current battery pack
Hyundai officially revealed Ioniq hybrid model in 2016 and later the company expanded the model lineup with plug-in hybrid and a pure electric version also. The company is currently working on a facelift model and the test mule has been spotted for the first time in South Korea with heavily covered front and rear.
The front gets a new grille and an updated bumper along with LED headlamps even though the cluster might be retained from the current model. The facelift model gets a new set of fog lamps with LED light instead of a regular bulb and it might come with cornering lamps also. The side design is the same but the alloy wheels will be new.
The rear will also come with a new bumper and new LED tail lamps. But the interior is still under the cover and we can expect Hyundai to make some changes for the dashboard to make it inline with other models. The instrument cluster might also get an update and the Ioniq will be loaded with lots of feature and advanced safety features.
But the biggest changes are expected to be under the hood as the electric motor could be replaced by the one available on Kona EV and this electric motor produces 120 PS of power and 295 Nm of torque, which is connected to a 28 kWh battery pack and the claimed range is 280 km. The Kona comes with two different battery pack.
The powerful 64 kWh battery pack produces 201 hp of power and 395 Nm of torque. According to Hyundai, the range is 546 km which could vary depending on various conditions. The smaller 39.2 kWh battery pack comes with 136 PS and 395 Nm, but the range is 345 km and it might not be offered with Ioniq.
Hyundai is already offering fast charging with Ioniq as it takes just 23 minutes to charge the battery to 80 per cent but it will take more than 12 hours using a standard household socket. We are not expecting Ioniq to be introduced in India as the company is planning to launch the Kona next year in India.
