Hyundai is a car manufacturer with big ambitions. From the first not too innovative models captured Norwegian soil in 1992 to current models, we are talking light-years difference. Both in terms of design and technology.
Yet not sales just ripped through the roof here at home. But these days Announces Hyundai a long-awaited vehicle that could change that. Quite as drastic as well.
300 bought it – unseen
We are talking namely about the all-new Hyundai Ioniq. A car that they certainly would like to have a bit earlier on the market. But it comes in any case well, when it is now in place in Norway.
Over 300 Norwegian customers have so far purchased the car – without having seen it except in pictures.
Ioniq is an electric vehicle. Most have well been joined what electrical cars has meant for car sales in Norway in recent years. It has taken off. But Ioniq is also more than than EV. More on that further down in the article.
The first thing that has driven the much anticipated newcomer in electric version here at home, our own Broom Benny. Here is his report after a test drive in the rain, dense Oslo traffic.

The electric car Hyundai Inoiq is 4.5 meters long, offers five seats and good range.
Tough competitors
– the first thing I notice when I put myself into is that the seats are good, and it’s easy to find a good sitting position. Now coming straight into this from a Toyota Land Cruiser with diesel engines, is also the total silence well noticeable when driving off.
– The car has an incredibly precise and good steering response, which clearly hinting towards it sporty. The suspension is also very fast, but not so that it goes beyond comfort. The space is good, the 4.5 meter long vehicle is a five-seater and thus a full-fledged family car with a trunk of 350 liters.
– It’s easy to think of the Toyota Prius and the electric car Nissan Leaf as the nearest competition. The slightly out of design, size and place of origin on the planet. But Hyundai Ioniq is also a clear alternative to the consolidated brother Kia Soul Electric (It’s Hyundai which owns Kia) and bestselling VW e-Golf.

28-mile range and favorable price
– the battery in Ioniq is 28 Kw and it has a range of 280 km, summer. Charging time is 6.6 hours. Electric drive unit delivers 88 kW, or 120 horsepower if we stick to the old and familiar concepts. One can choose between three driving modes. Eco, Normal and Sport. On sport makes it from 0-100 km / h in about 10 seconds. That’s okay, but no race car we do not talk about.
– Designed for both exterior and interior is modern and clean. Dog without city on the very large antics. Despite the fact that this is called a prototype car, ie a kind of production test car, it works well screwed together and properly in all respects. Hyundai has worked extensively with wind resistance and it has a Cw value of 0.24 discount.
– Ioniq has a starting price of 239,900 kroner. I believe that in addition should choose “Technology Package” that involves most of the modern safety equipment, such as filskiftvarsel, adaptive cruise control, etc.. The comprehensive package costs 20,000 kroner. Do you have leather upholstery, it costs 10,000 kroner. So does the sunroof glass. A “full package-car” comes at under 280,000 kroner, so the price should definitely be competitive.

Much equipment and modern lines inside the Hyundai Inoiq.
Rechargeable hybrid until spring
But Ioniq also comes in a second edition. Later in the spring next year launched the namely that PHV too. Ie with gasoline motor, a rechargeable battery pack and electric motor. It can then be run as a pure electric vehicle on short trips, so taking the internal combustion engine over when it runs low on power.
Rechargeable hybrids are in demand like never before, so it will certainly be another welcome news for the country’s Hyundai dealers .
