HYUNDAI IONIQ ELECTRIC: Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 now have an all-electric rival from South Korea

摘要

This is our first chance to drive the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq on UK roads. If that name sounds familiar, it's because we've already tried the hybrid version. With a plug-in hybrid to follow, the Ioniq is a key part of Hyundai's plan to have 22 'green' cars in its range by 2020. Underneath all three versions is the same platform that underpins the Kia Niro. There's plenty of high-strength steel to help rigidity, along with aluminium panels and other componentry to reduce weight.
