The biennial Suisse Public once again brings together a large number of suppliers for the public sector until June 16. A few months ago, Hyundai introduced the Ioniq, the world's first model to offer customers a choice of three different electric drive concepts: either with 100 percent electric drive, as a plug-in or as a hybrid with a 1.6 GDI gasoline engine and electric assistance for propulsion. Plug-in and hybrid are already available in Switzerland, with the electric to follow later this year.
Symbolic character
At Suisse Public, the Korean manufacturer is exhibiting the Ioniq Electric for the first time with lettering like a police vehicle. The model is symbolic of the various ways in which environmentally friendly alternatives are increasingly being used in the public sector. The vehicle draws its energy from a 28 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. At 11.5 kWh/100 km, the Ioniq currently has the lowest power consumption per kilometer among electrically powered production vehicles, according to the supplier. This is said to enable a range of up to 280 kilometers (measurement according to NEDC).
Competitive performance
The electric motor has a maximum output of 88 kW/120 hp and reaches its highest torque of 295 Nm immediately after starting; the top speed is 165 km/h. The factory warranty for the Ioniq Electric covers five years without mileage limit, for the batteries the factory warranty runs for eight years or 200,000 km. For all Ioniq models, maintenance is included in the purchase price for three years or for 50,000 km (whichever comes first). The "Electric" should be available at a price of less than 40,000 Swiss francs after the Swiss market launch.
