New Hyundai IONIQ hybrid 2016 review - pictures

<span>The Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is aimed as a direct rival to the Toyota Prius</span>

<span>The Ioniq is also offered in electric and plug-in hybrid forms, but it is likely this hybrid version tested here will make up the bulk of sales</span>

<span>Ioniq Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine mated to a 32kW electric motor, generating a combined power figure of 139bhp</span>

<span>Six-speed Dual-Clutch Auto gearbox is fitted for fuss-free driving</span>

<span>Performance is respectable with 0-62mph coming in at 10.8 seconds and a 115mph top speed</span>

<span>Hyundai&nbsp;claim combined economy of 83.1mpg and 79g/km CO2 emissions for Ioniq Hybrid&nbsp;</span>

<span>Minor styling tweaks distinguish the Ioniq Hybrid from its electric and plug-in hybrid counterparts&nbsp;</span>

<span>Model pictured is in Premium SE specification featuring 17-inch alloys, standard cars get 15-inch alloys&nbsp;</span>

<span>Ioniq Interior is functional rather than futuristic making it feel more conventional than some rivals</span>

<span>Kit levels are generous with DAB, Bluetooth, cruise control, rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, autonomous emergency braking and lane-keep assist included standard&nbsp;</span>

<span>Apple CarPlay is included on mid-level Premium models</span>

<span>Powertrain and driving info is displayed on the seven-inch colour touchscreen</span>
