Hyundai IONIQ Wins ‘Best Hybrid’ at Carbuyer Awards

Hyundai Motor has added another prize to its collection of critical acclaim, scooping a top accolade as the IONIQ Hybrid was named ‘Best Hybrid Car’ at the Carbuyer Best Cars Awards.

Judged through analysis of search engine data alongside critical evaluation by a panel of experts, the Carbuyer Awards tune in to what real car buyers are looking for. The judging panel afforded particular praise to the IONIQ’s range of in-car features and reasonable running costs. The hybrid IONIQ offers a total driving range of up to 700 miles, while CO2 emissions of 83g/km mean that it sits in the 22% BIK bracket for business users in 2019/20.

James Batchelor, Carbuyer editor-at-large commented: “A past winner, the Hyundai IONIQ Hybrid is now even better than ever, with updated looks and features, and a classy new infotainment system.

Most of all though, the IONIQ is affordable to drive and own, with no big changes in lifestyle required of owners.”

While the IONIQ Hybrid is an award winner, buyers of IONIQ can also choose between another two powertrains to best suit their lifestyle. The IONIQ Plug In Hybrid currently sits at the lowest 16% BIK rate thanks to CO2 emissions of just 26g/km, and in the new tax year it will be reduced to 10% thanks to both low CO2 and 39 mile electric range, which when combined with its 43 litre full-size petrol tank delivers total range to more than 660 miles.

IONIQ Electric provides a cleverly-packaged, responsive driving experience. It offers outstanding performance through a 38.3 lithium-ion polymer battery, with instantly-available maximum torque of 295Nm delivered by an 100 kW (136 PS) electric motor. It offers buyers a zero-emission range of 193 miles on a charge, and running costs of just three pence per mile.

Ashley Andrew, Managing Director, Hyundai Motor UK, said, “It’s a tremendous honour to win a Carbuyer award, they are among the most objective and buyer-relevant awards in the industry. This award really demonstrates how innovation and value go hand-in-hand at Hyundai. The IONIQ is one of the most impressive eco-cars on the market, and its diverse powertrain offering means that there is an IONIQ for everyone.”

The Carbuyer Best Cars Awards consider a car’s reliability, price, running costs and how easy it is to live with, in addition to how well it performs and handles. The award categories reflect the types of vehicles proven to be the most in-demand by readers and follow Carbuyer’s ‘plain English’ approach.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
