Hyundai Ioniq Facelift Spied for the First Time

Hyundai Ioniq Facelift Spied for the First Time

We got the very first and exclusive spy shots of the future Hyundai Ioniq Facelift courtesy of SB-Medien.

This prototype has been caught hot weather testing in the US while we had a chance to photograph the car parked in front of a hotel.

The Hyundai Ioniq was the first dedicated hybrid from Hyundai-Kia alongside with the Kia Niro.

Revealed three years ago, this first spy pictures told us that a mid-life facelift isn’t that far away.

Our pictures reveal a completely new grill and small changes in the front and rear bumper as well as a new graphic in the head and tail lights.

The Ioniq was launched as a high bet from Hyundai, to start his 2020 eco car plan, and they delivered 3 eco cars in 1 with a Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and EV variants. So that was a good start.

Compared to Toyota Prius, where Hyundai has been inspired when they created the Ioniq, the Hyundai model uses a Dual Clutch Transmission instead of a CVT.

No more details revealed yet, but the Ioniq facelift couldn’t arrive until earlier 2019.
