The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid enters the automotive scene as Hyundai's first dedicated hybrid, available in three trims: Blue, SEL, and Limited. It is powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine teamed with a 32 kW electric motor, collectively producing 139 horsepower. Paired with a smooth six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the Ioniq Hybrid emphasizes real-world drivability over the rubber-band-like affect exhibited by some of its rivals. EPA rated at 58 mpg combined for the Blue trim, the Ioniq tops in its class for fuel efficiency. Inside, a sleek 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while safety features include blind spot detection, lane change assist, and rear cross-traffic alert, with forward-collision warning available on the top-tier Limited trim. The introduction of the Ioniq marks Hyundai's noteworthy venture into the hybrid market, combining respectable driving dynamics, user-friendly tech, and leading fuel economy.
