Hyundai's new model goes by the name Ioniq, and will be available in three powertrain configurations: as a fully electric, as a plug-in hybrid, and as a gasoline/electric hybrid vehicle. The name Ioniq derives from "ion" which is an electrically-charged atom, making reference to the car's electric powertrain combinations. The second part of the name references the word "unique" which signifies the unique offering it brings to the Hyundai model range. The letter "Q" also found its place in the car's logo, and supposedly stands for the fresh approach to the advanced model featuring low- or zero-emissions.
