2019 Hyundai Ioniq first view

Three years after it was launched, Hyundai has announced a mid-life update for the Ioniq Hybrid, Plug-in and Electric. The various changes focus on providing better connectivity and some additional driver aids.

An enhanced specification now includes ‘Bluelink’ telematics services and an emergency call function. Furthermore, customers can order an optional navigation system that’s displayed on a huge 10.25” screen.

The regenerative braking system – which is adjustable via steering wheel paddles – can deploy automatically when following traffic, thanks to a front-mounted radar sensor. Another innovation is a special ‘Green-zone Drive Mode’ that minimises internal combustion engine use when travelling in designated areas.

Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite is also fitted to the 2019 Ioniq. This comprises advanced technologies such as front collision warning, front collision avoidance, lane keeping assistance and a driver attention warning device.

Externally, the most obvious alteration is a redesigned grille that does improve the car’s presence. The bumpers have been tweaked too, plus the number of available paint colours becomes eight instead of the previous five.

European deliveries of the 2019 Ioniq are expected to start during the second half of this year.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
