While the
Chevrolet Bolt EV 2020 has a starting price of AED 168,900 and the
Lexus CT 2020 of AED 135,000, the
Hyundai Ioniq 2020 Hybrid stands at AED 83,370 including VAT. One of 2 available trim levels, the HYBRID is equipped with 7 airbags, an anti-theft alarm, BA (Brake Assist), EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), central locking, and fabric seats. It also features foldable rear seats with a 60:40 split, LED daytime running lights, door mirrors with side turn signals, and HID headlights.
This Korean hatchback comes with a 1.6-litre 4 Hybrid engine that generates 139 horsepower and 317 Nm of torque, making it a popular choice for eco-conscious drivers in the UAE. The Ioniq’s impressive fuel efficiency of just 4 liters per 100 kilometers is a major draw for urban commuters looking to save on fuel costs. In addition to its economical performance, the Ioniq is recognized for its advanced safety features, including lane-keeping assist and a rearview camera, enhancing its appeal in the competitive hybrid market.
For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the Ioniq including all versions is AED 88,500. Factoring in annual depreciation of 30%, we expect the hybrid to cost AED 57,050 on the
used car market by next year. With a 45-litre fuel tank, filling the hybrid up is likely to set you back AED 81.0, considering the current fuel price of AED 1.8 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. With an average commute of 25,000 kilometers per year, you will be doing 11 fill-ups, costing you a total of AED 3,645.
