In the event of the worldwide crisis of natural resources, for which fuel price are fluctuating and raising higher than ever before, maintaining cars that run on gasoline is simply a burden. Then comes the issue of global atmosphere that is worsening every day, facing the wrath of human civilization. All these held the automotive industry responsible on many grounds, and as a result, the leading brands had to come up with some feasible solutions that could address all these issues at one go.
A Hyundai Initiative
Hyundai as one of the leading automotive brands came up with a handful of green car solutions that were based on the electrification of the cars, making them run on full electric, with the help of charged batteries, hybrid vehicles, that use both battery and conventional fuel, and plug in vehicles in which the fuel engine is only to run the vehicle when the battery goes out of charge. The Hyundai Ioniq is the model series name that brings a good number of trim levels to address all the issues.
Currently, as learned from the Petaluma Hyundai dealership, the 2019 lineup of Hyundai is running the show with much advanced mechanisms to compete the conventional cars, and to inspire people to use green cars instead of the conventional fuel gobbling vehicles.
The 2019 Lineup of Ioniq
The 2019 Ioniq as an affordable lineup of green car models from Hyundai has a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid model made affordable for the mas buyers rather than focusing on luxury. At the same time Hyundai did take all the necessary measures to polish up the green credentials of the Ioniq lineup before they were launched for the 2019 auto show.
The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq offering a three-pronged pitch for its green-car buyers, established itself well through its reasonable and dynamic lineup of models that come as Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and Electric.
The Hybrid models are further divided in three trim levels, that are named as Blue, SEL, and Limited, while both the Plug-In and Electric Ioniq models are given Base and Limited trims. The Ioniq stays almost unchanged from its last year model, although Hyundai did add some relevant features for the Hybrid SEL trim level, mainly the safety ones.
Mileage Range
2019 Ioniq places itself well in the segment of hybrid hatchback market, where it has been considered among those cute little cars that has everything in place to serve you well on the roads, including the mileage.
As demonstrated by the Petaluma Hyundai dealer the 2019 Hyundai Hybrid Ioniq sets up a 1.6-liter inline-4 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission to make 104 horsepower along with 109 pound-feet of torque while a 32 kW electric motor supplements the engine with 43 hp and a regenerative braking powered by a 1.56 kWh battery. Solely on electric power, the plug-in hybrid model of the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq can travel 29 miles with the help of an 88 kw motor that can produce 118 hp from a 28 kwh lithium-polymer battery. This powertrain package makes the Ioniq run 124 miles with a consumption rate of 136 MPG-e, that inspired many other brands to follow its footsteps.
