That’s a shame because a lot of elements were copied from the Prius / Lexus CT200h for the IONIQ (I own the latter) and I was starting to think of switching up for the newer IONIQ hybrid power train since the CT200h has had a decade long technology stall. And the Prius is butt ugly.
- bonzini 7y agoWhat do you mean by decade long technology stall?
- aetherspawn 7y agoWell the CT200h is still on the same gen 3 Prius power train as when the model was originally launched and on the actual Prius they’re up to gen 5 where the fuel economy is about 50% better. And luxury car but lack of plug-in hybrid option despite Prius having one ... Don’t get me wrong it’s a lovely car way ahead of its time, everywhere in the cabin (especially the UX), but outdated under the hood. Source: I design truck EVs.
- bonzini 7y agoUnderstood now (I own a CT too :-)). On the other hand it's cheaper than the Prius, which despite being ugly as heck is almost 10.000 euros more expensive than the CT (so here in Italy only taxi drivers buy it).
