Product Overview

Hyundai IONIQ facelift is a compact hatchback in production from 2019 to 2022. It was powered by a hybrid drivetrain, a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, and a battery-electric drivetrain. This makes it similar in product strategy to the Honda Clarity, though the Honda boasts a more revolutionary fuel-cell option.
Overall, the IONIQ is rather ugly and uninspiring. It is a good choice only for those who want to spend less on cars.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The Ioniq Electric’s battery has been boosted to 38kWh, up from 28kWh. The permanent magnet electric motor driving the front wheels has been exchanged for a more efficient version. The combination has helped extend range more than 30% over the old car. A newly-fitted 7.2kW onboard charger can charge the battery to 80% in 57 minutes on a 50kW charger, or from flat to full in little over six hours.
Pros
  • Uprated powertrain
  • Decent range
  • Improved infotainment
Cons
  • Slightly heavier than the outgoing model

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
Hyundai's first attempt at a full-on eco car family is a strong one. The Ioniq comes in hybrid, plug-in and full electric forms. All three offer plenty of practicality at an affordable price with lots of kit. However, the electric motor and petrol engine in the hybrid variants aren't integrated as well as in the Toyota Prius, and the car isn't as comfortable, either.
Pros
  • Cheaper than Prius
  • Lots of standard equipment
Cons
  • Alternatives offer more practicality
  • Not as comfortable as Prius

Reviewers from cnet have found:
Hyundai's Ioniq is no performance car by any stretch of the imagination, but it never feels underpowered. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox. It's the most efficient non-plug-in vehicle available in the US, with an EPA rating of up to 58 miles per gallon.
Pros
  • Excellent fuel economy
  • Comfortable, quiet cabin
  • Excellent tech
Cons
  • Dull interior
  • Lackluster infotainment system

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The 2020 Ioniq PHEV uses the same basic UX that's been in Hyundai vehicles for about a decade. The dashboard has been redesigned so that the climate controls are now located on a new glossy black panel. Infotainment connectivity also hasn't changed since it's all through Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Pros
  • Powerful six-speed automatic transmission
  • Good fuel economy
Cons
  • Lack of EV-only range
  • Lackluster infotainment
