I'm also quite skeptical about the fuel economy rating of the Ioniq, mostly because during its development it had been sometimes quoted to be closer to the definition of a mild-hybrid than a full-hybrid. But anyway, even though the DCT is going to add weight, complexity and some friction to its powertrain, Hyundai had a lot of time to figure out the achievements and mistakes from Toyota in the long run.
