Hyundai Ioniq Powertrain Performance

The Hyundai Ionic hybrid system consist of a 1.6 litre Kappa 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine which on itself produces 105 PS at 5,700 RPM and 147 NM of torque from 4,000 RPM. The naturally aspirated engine is then coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous motor that produces 32kW (44PS) and 170 NM of torque, powered by a 1.56 kWh lithium-ion battery.

The total combined system output is estimated at 141 PS and 265 NM, propelling the 1.4-ton car from a standstill to 100 km/h in 11.0 seconds and up to a top speed of 185 km/h. The hybrid powertrain offers two driving modes – Eco and Sport. In Eco mode, the car starts in pure EV mode (up to 120 km/h) and the internal combustion engine will only kick in when needed in situations like during acceleration, going uphill or when the battery runs out. 

In Sport mode, both the engine and electric motor works concurrently to power the vehicle. Predictive energy management system onboard analyses travel routes and recover braking force for optimal energy storage. Power is sent to the front wheels via a 6-speed dual clutch automatic transmission (dry) which offers both the convenience of a conventional automatic torque converter and the performance and efficiency of a manual transmission.
