Η Hyundai παρουσίασε το i-oniq Concept, στη Γενεύη με τους Κορεάτες να μας δείχνουν την εξέλιξη της σχεδιαστικής φιλοσοφίας “fluidic sculpture” και έχει σχεδιαστεί από το ευρωπαϊκό σχεδιαστικό τμήμα της. Από τις νέες φωτογραφίες βλέπουμε ότι διαθέτει πόρτες που ανοίγουν προς τα πάνω, με ένα φουτουριστικό εσωτερικό με κόκκινες επενδύσεις, μπλε κρυφό φωτισμό και κόκκινα πατάκια.
Πρόκειται για ένα υβριδικό σπορ hatchback το οποίο συνδυάζει έναν ηλεκτροκινητήρα με έναν range-extending βενζινοκινητήρα. Ο σχεδιασμός του είναι αρκετά τολμηρός και συνδυάζει ήπιες και μυώδης γραμμές με LED φωτιστικά σώματα. Έχει μήκος 4.4 μέτρα και μπορεί να μεταφέρει 4 επιβάτες. Η κεντρική κονσόλα είναι στραμμένη προς τον οδηγό και από πλευράς εξοπλισμού διαθέτει πολλά High-tech στοιχεία.
Μηχανικά φορά έναν τρικύλινδρο 1.00αρη κινητήρα βενζίνης ο οποίος φορτίζει τις μπαταρίες ιόντων λιθίου ενός ηλεκτροκινητήρας 80 kW (109 ίππων). Έχει αυτονομία 120 χλμ αποκλειστικά με τον ηλεκτροκινητήρα του και 700 χλμ με την χρήση του κινητήρα βενζίνης με εκπομπές CO2 45 γρ/χλμ.

- Geneva show car, i-oniq, embodies ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities.’
- Concept model is an electric sports hatchback with range-extender
- Demonstrates next evolution of Hyundai’s fluidic sculpture design language
Hyundai has unveiled its latest European concept car, named i-oniq, at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, showcasing new technology and design which present an impression of the company’s future thinking.
The 4,4 meters long i-oniq is an electric sports hatchback with a range-extending petrol engine. Intended to convey the latest thinking from Hyundai’s designers and engineers, the i-oniq evolves the company’s fluidic sculpture form language and represents bold ‘New Possibilities’ with its futuristic powertrain.
Exterior design: inspiration and evolution
The i-oniq concept car, designed and developed at Hyundai’s European R&D centre in Germany, is an evolution of the company’s signature design language, fluidic sculpture.
Hyundai designers chose dynamic proportions to create i-oniq’s aesthetic and functional body shape. Its design combines gentle feature lines and muscular surface treatment, conveying premium and athletic qualities evident in both the exterior and interior of the car.
Thomas Bürkle, Chief Designer at the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre, commented, “Two arched curves are the key theme behind i-oniq, creating a strong and playful contrast between sharp character lines and soft but muscular features. The profile lines of the front fender run from front to back, emphasising i-oniq’s coupé appearance, while offering maximum visibility to occupants.”
Further design elements, such as the ‘penthouse roof’ and LED headlights, emphasise the advanced technology encased within i-oniq.
The roof is a unique design solution that ensures great space for rear passengers and contributes to the overall dynamic appearance. The car’s doors open up to the side: innovative, weight-optimized door and seat kinematics make entering the car’s front and rear seats a simple manoeuvre.
The headlights emphasise the advanced technology of i-oniq. A uniquely-shaped polished aluminium frame houses the day-time running light and forms a unique signature light element.
Futuristic interior and complete connectivity
Fittingly for a sporty hatchback, the cabin layout is driver-oriented, with the dashboard and centre-console geometry based around the driver. The user-interface components reflect contemporary and future consumer electronics technology such as movement control mounted on the steering wheel, floating instrument cluster with multi-layered projection, and a large background display for navigation, entertainment and other information.
The rear cabin area has been designed as a ‘cosy lounge area’ to ensure maximum occupant comfort, creating a positive contrast to the sports-orientated front area. Use of luxurious interior materials, as well as futuristic interface components, further expresses the evolution of fluidic sculpture within the car.
Electric vehicle with extended range powertrain
The i-oniq is powered by an innovative 1,0-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine generating a maximum of 45 kW (61 ps). This unit is mated to an 80 kW (109 ps) lithium-ion electric motor which is powered by a 55 kW generator, via a single ratio gearbox.
In electric-only mode, i-oniq can travel 120 km (74 miles) and up to 700 km (435 miles) with the assistance on the petrol engine, emitting only 45 g/km of CO2emissions. The concept can reach a top speed of 145 km/h.
