The Driven Podcast: On the road with Hyundai’s full electric Ioniq

Published by

In this week’s podcast, we test drive the full electric Ioniq and chat with Hyundai’s head of future mobility Scott Nargar.

The Ioniq is now released in three different models – hybrid, plug in hybrid and full electric – and it is the first full electric vehicle in Australia to be sold at sub-$A50,000.

Is it good value? Find out as we do a test drive in and around Brisbane and talk to the head of future mobility in Australia Scott Nargar.
