Hyundai to discontinue Ioniq production in July. Hyundai HyundaiIoniq Ioniq CarGuidePH
Upon its launch in 2016, the Ioniq was lauded for its design, which functioned not only to distinguish it on the road, but also to deliver aerodynamic performance, building on Hyundai’s early developments in the field of electro-mobility. Smooth lines and a flowing shape lent it a then class-leading co-efficient of drag value of 0.24.
The Ioniq was not only pioneering in its adaptation of Hyundai’s fluidic sculpture design language, but also in relation to its technical aspects. It was the world’s first vehicle to be designed from the ground up for three electrified powertrains, with hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and battery-electric versions available.
The model’s comprehensive safety package also ensured best-in-class protection across all three powertrains, and saw it maintain a 5-star Euro NCAP rating throughout its lifetime. Following its launch in 2016 release, the Ioniq was praised for its design, winning the coveted Red Dot Design Awards and two Good Design Awards back-to-back.
In its retirement, it leaves behind a legacy of acclaim, having won Car of the Year awards in Norway, Sweden, and France, as well as the Women’s World Car of the Year Award in both 2017 and 2018.
