As previously reported the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is here. For lovers of EV cars, it’s a bit of a smorgasbord with three electrified powertrains on offer. We’ve taken delivery of the mid-range Plug-in Hybrid model which acts as a stepping stone between the Hybrid model and fully EV variant.
Hyundai claim this model has an EV range of 63 kilometres, so we’d thought we’d put that to the test today for a trip to IKEA. A trip we’ve done several times now since EFTM HQ was constructed.
The plug-in version is priced from $40,990 and has a claimed fuel economy of just 1.1L/100km. We will have a lot more say over the next few weeks as the Ioniq occupies the EFTM Garage.
Chris was EFTM’s Motoring Editor for many years, driving everything from your entry level hatch to the latest Luxury cars through to the Rolls Royce.
He has been in the media for 20 years, produced three Olympic games broadcasts, attending Beijing 2008 & London 2012.
Strangely he owns a Toyota Camry Hybrid, he defiantly rejects the knockers.
Chris is married to Gillian and resides in Sydney’s North West. They have Sam the English Springer Spaniel and Felix the Burmese cat to keep them company, and recently welcomed baby Henry to the family.
He has now left EFTM, and writes freelance and runs his own Facebook Page “Bowen’s Garage”
