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.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
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 autocar have found the following***:
The revised Ioniq Electric has a larger battery (up from 28kWh to 38kWh) and a more efficient electric motor to increase the range by some 30% to a claimed 194 miles. It's sharp off the line, which makes it great for nipping in and out of city traffic, and settles into a much smoother drive at speed. Performance is brisk but not unruly in the way Hyundai’s other electric car, the Kona Electric, is.

Pros
  • Cheaper to charge than rivals
  • Improved infotainment system
Cons
  • No dynamic sparkle
  • Not the most sophisticated

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The Ioniq is a handsome, capable and well-equipped machine. It’s got a class-competitive electric range, a roomy and smartly styled cabin and an infotainment system that no longer lags behind the rest. Yet while it handles deftly enough, the powertrain still doesn’t feel as well resolved as that used in a Toyota Prius Plug-in; the dim-witted internal combustion engine is the worst offender.

Pros
  • Class-leading electric range
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lacklustre powertrain
  • No automatic ’box

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
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 autoexpress have found the following***:
Hyundai Ioniq has lived in the shadow of the pioneering Toyota Prius ever since it launched in 2016. But the Korean maker thinks a series of mid-life updates will help its hybrid hopeful rise to the top. The dashboard has been completely redesigned with a new 10.25-inch infotainment system and a seven-inch digital instrument cluster.

Pros
  • Stylish looks
  • Fantastic infotainment system
Cons
  • Fiddly touch-sensitive touchscreen
  • Lacklustre interior

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The Ioniq Electric has been overshadowed by other pure EVs from the same company, such as the Kona Electric and Kia's e-Niro and Soul EV. The old model had a 28kWh battery and a range of 174 miles on the old NEDC efficiency test. The new version gets a chunkier 38.3kWh pack and, while its official figure is little changed because of the switch to WLTP evaluation, in old ‘NEDC money', its range is 193 miles.

Pros
  • Bigger battery
  • Decent infotainment
Cons
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from cnet have found the following***:
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

The Ioniq Hybrid has 26.5 cubic feet of space in its rear hatch. Black is the only interior color available on the Hybrid Limited. Hyundai's infotainment system is easy to use, although I don't like that I always have to go back to the home page to toggle between the native system and Apple CarPlay.

Pros

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
