Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid distributes braking force differently between front and rear axles. Typically, the front rotors handle more of the stopping effort, which leads to faster wear compared with the rear rotors. Front rotors are often larger and thicker to absorb heat and dissipate it under heavier loads, while rear rotors and brake systems assist stabilization and regenerative braking in hybrid systems. At Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa, our certified Hyundai technicians inspect both front and rear systems to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest and most cost-effective choice for your vehicle. We explain the condition, the likely causes of accelerated wear—such as driving style, towing, or city stop-and-go traffic—and the downstream costs of delaying service, like warped rotors, uneven pad wear, or ABS issues. When you bring your Ioniq Hybrid into our Tampa service center you’ll receive OEM parts, technician expertise, and transparent pricing. Ask about current service specials and our service financing options so you can address both front and rear needs now and pay over time.
