The judging panel afforded particular praise to the Ioniq’s range of in-car features and reasonable running costs. The hybrid Ioniq also offers a total driving range of up to 700 miles, while CO2 emissions of 83g/km mean that it sits in the 22 percent BIK bracket for business users in 2019/20.
“A past winner, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is now even better than ever, with updated looks and features, and a classy new infotainment system” said James Batchelor, Carbuyer editor-at-large. “Most of all though, the Ioniq is affordable to drive and own, with no big changes in lifestyle required of owners.”
The Ioniq Plug In Hybrid currently sits at the lowest 16 percent BIK rate thanks to CO2 emissions of just 26g/km, and in the new tax year it will be reduced to 10 percent thanks to both low CO2 and 39 mile electric range, which when combined with its 43 litre full-size petrol tank delivers total range to more than 660 miles.
The Ioniq electric incorporates a 38.3 lithium-ion polymer battery, with instantly-available maximum torque of 295Nm delivered by an 100 kW (136 PS) electric motor, offering buyers a zero-emission range of 193 miles on a charge, and running costs of just three pence per mile.
The Carbuyer Best Cars Awards consider a car’s reliability, price, running costs and how easy it is to live with, in addition to how well it performs and handles. The award categories reflect the types of vehicles proven to be the most in-demand by readers and follow Carbuyer’s ‘plain English’ approach.
