Opting for the Ioniq Electric brings a 28 kWh lithium-ion-polymer battery pack, which Hyundai says will drive the car over 155 miles on a single charge. Total output for the electric motor is 118 hp and 217 lb-ft of torque, driving the car up to a top speed of 102 mph.
Inside all three cars, you will find a seven-inch touchscreen in the center stack that runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with wireless charging for a cellphone. A whole suite of safety systems, including autonomous emergency braking, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist will all be available.
While some of the design elements differ, all three versions of the car match the Prius’ 0.24 Cd value thanks to their overall shape and design. Hybrid and plug-in models will get blue accents, while the all-electric version will get exclusive copper colored accents.
Official fuel economy hasn’t been revealed yet, but Hyundai did promise that it will get better than 50 mpg on the highway.
