SHOWN alongside the new Hyundai i30 Tourer estate at Geneva, was the  Hyundai IONIQ plug-in hybrid version of the hatch.

Powered by a new 105PS 1.6 GDI direct-injection petrol engine and 61PS electric motor, this Hyundai is capable of 256mpg, with CO2 emissions of just 26g/km and can travel up to 39 miles on just the electric motor alone.

IONIQ is the world’s first car to be offered with three electrified powertrains and is part of Hyundai Motor’s global sustainability strategy to launch 14 eco cars by 2020, including five hybrid vehicles, four plug-in hybrid vehicles, four electric vehicles and one fuel-cell electric vehicle.

The Ioniq plug-in will be available this July.
