Hyundai introduces IONIQ: compact car with BEV, PHEV or HEV powertrains

World premiere in Korea in January.

Rumours:
Expect the Ioniq to use a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor and Hyundai’s compact lithium ion polymer battery back.

Will be interesting to see what comes out of this. For me it comes down to transmission - if it's robotised manual I'm not interested.
