Hyundai's i-oniq concept car shows future thinking The first image of Hyundai's new i-oniq concept car has been released showcasing new technology and design which present an impression of the company's future thinking. The i-oniq is an electric sports hatchback with a range-extending gasoline engine. Intended to convey the latest thinking from Hyundai's designers and engineers, the i-oniq evolves the company's fluidic sculpture form language and represents bold `New Possibilities' with its futuristic powertrain. Hyundai stylists chose dynamic proportions to create i-oniq's aesthetic and functional body shape. Its design combines gentle feature lines and muscular surface treatment, conveying both premium and sporty qualities evident in both the exterior and interior of the car. Further design elements, such as the `penthouse roof' and LED headlights, emphasize the efficiency and advanced technology encased within i-oniq. At 4.4 metres long, i-oniq has space for four occupants in its driver-oriented cabin. The i-oniq concept has an innovative powertrain that demonstrates Hyundai's commitment to clean technology. A 1.0-litre, three-cylinder gasoline engine is mated, via a generator, to a lithium ion electric motor which produces 109 hp. In electric-only mode, i-oniq has a range of 120 km, while with assistance from the gasoline engine it can travel up to 700 km, producing just 45 g/km of CO2 in the process. --Metroland Media Carguide Magazine
