Hyundai i-oniq

An electric sports hatch with a range-extending petrol engine

The i-oniq, designed at Hyundai's European R&D center in Germany, was an electric sports hatchback with a range-extender powertrain and the first Hyundai concept to carry the 'ioniq' name later used for its EV sub-brand. An 80 kW electric motor drove the car, while a small 1.0-liter three-cylinder petrol engine acted as a generator. It could run about 120 km on battery alone and up to 700 km total, emitting just 45 g/km of CO2.
