Basically, the only true competitor to the Toyota Prius is the 2020 Hyundai Ionic. But this, apparently, did not seem enough to the Korean concern, since it also released a hatchback with an electrical installation. Moreover, the 2020 version has become "long-range" and more economical. As standard, the Korean model comes with a 10, 25-inch touchscreen monitor, numerous systems and airbags, as well as an extended list of equipment responsible for comfort. In the top-end equipment, the car becomes as convenient as possible due to additional driver's assistants, cameras and leather seats.

Specifications
The standard hybrid installation, including the plug-in version, has not changed since the restyling. As before, it is based on a 1.6-liter "naturally aspirated" engine that develops up to 104 hp. net power and 148 N * m of torque. It is accompanied by a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and an electric motor, the maximum output of which does not exceed 43 hp, and the thrust level reaches 169 N * m. Hyundai Ioniq in this version accelerates to the first 100 km / h in 8.8 seconds. Also included with the hybrid setup is a 1.56 kilowatt battery.
The electric version of the Korean hatchback received an uprated electric motor. Its maximum power was increased to 134 hp, and the thrust was increased to 295 N * m. This unit is combined with a more capacious battery, thanks to which the car can now travel up to 373 kilometers (the previous version - up to 293 kilometers).
Design
Despite the external similarity with other models of the Hyundai brand, the Ioniq is quite noticeably different from them. First of all, attention is drawn to the absence of a radiator grill, instead of which the manufacturer has placed a plug, painted in the body color. The branded head optics are divided into three sections, each of which houses LED lights. The front bumper, modified as part of the latest restyling, contains large blocks on the sides with air vents and LED fog lights.
On the side, the Ioniq is not much different from other Hyundai hatchbacks. But from the back, the Korean model is more reminiscent of its main competitors. The Ioniq's upright stern is complemented by a large spoiler combined with LED lights. The rear bumper design varies depending on the type of power plant. In hybrid versions, it has a plastic insert that frames the license plate. But in all modifications, there are compact deflectors on the rear bumper.
Salon at Ioniq is executed in a minimalist style. A touchscreen monitor located on top of the center console allows customization of virtually all on-board electronics. A climate system unit is installed separately from it. Otherwise, the interior of the Ioniq is decorated in the same style as that of other Hyundai hatchbacks. The only exception is the steering wheel, which in the first model has a sporty look.
