A sensational
concept car will be the highlight of Hyundai’s stand and is packed with
technology which make it more fuel efficient than some superminis.
Designed to
assertive but not aggressive, the ix-onic (pronounced “ik-sonnik”)
combines dynamic styling with an environmentally-friendly power train
and thoughtful everyday utility. It creates a vehicle that will change
the way consumers think about compact crossover vehicles.
Key attributes of
Hyundai’s ‘dynamic sculpture’ design philosophy are the athleticism and
sophistication that ix-onic demonstrates through its dynamic and flowing
lines. These are emphasised by specially developed, high-contrast
exterior paint. Employing an advanced-effect pigment, the innovative
paint gives the car’s skin a brilliant shine.
Beneath its
sensational exterior, the ix-onic’s power train is equipped with a
170PS, 1.6-litre GDi turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol engine, with ISG
(Idle Stop & Go) technology and a double-clutch six-speed transmission.
Power is transferred to the road by an intelligent four-wheel drive
system fine-tuned to deliver outstanding on-road driving dynamics,
together with significant off-road ability. The next-generation,
eco-friendly engine emits just 149 g/km of CO2, an impressive
figure for an SUV and comparable with conventional hatchbacks and
superminis.
