Two Ioniq EV trim levels
The entry-level Ioniq Electric SE trim upgrades now include Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, a larger 8-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Other standard features include forward collision avoidance-assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, driver attention warning, and high beam assist.
The step-up model is the 2020 Ioniq EV Limited, which is priced from $38,615 excluding delivery. Limited models feature LED headlamps, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen with navigation, Harmon Kardon premium audio, and ambient interior lighting. The Ioniq Limited also comes with touchscreen heating and cooling controls, highway driving assist and lane follow assist and blind-spot collision-avoidance assist with rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist.
More power and range
The front-drive Hyundai Ioniq EV is rated at 134 horsepower and 218 lb-ft of torque. A switch from a 28 to 38.3 kW lithium-ion battery pack results in the 34-percent increase in range and 16 horsepower bump in output.
Hyundai says the extended range results in an EPA efficiency rating of 133 combined MPGe for the Ioniq EV. The company adds that using a 100 kW DC fast charging can replenish 80 percent of the battery’s range in 54 minutes.
Hyundai is also working the Amazon Home Services to arrange the purchase of home charging stations installed by licensed electricians backed by Amazon’s Happiness Guarantee.
