If you're looking for a fuel-efficient commuter and errand runner, you should take a look at the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. It offers the practicality of a hatchback plus great fuel economy of more than 50 mpg. Hyundai's strong warranty is an added bonus. But we're less enamored with the Ioniq's tepid performance and somewhat drab interior.

What's new

No changes for 2022
Part of the first Ioniq generation introduced for 2017

Overview

The 2022 Ioniq Hybrid is part of the two-car Ioniq lineup that includes the separately reviewed Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid. Hyundai discontinued the Ioniq Electric for 2022. The Ioniq Hybrid is a good choice if you're looking for an affordable compact hybrid that has the added benefit of a hatchback body style. It gets an EPA-estimated 59 mpg combined in the base Blue trim and 55 mpg combined in the higher trims.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.11 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

The Ioniq offers 26.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which beats the room in any sedan and rivals what small SUVs offer. It also offers a generous list of standard features, including a few driver aids. If the Ioniq Hybrid doesn't meet all your needs, consider two hybrids that Hyundai recently added, the Elantra Hybrid sedan and the Tucson Hybrid SUV. The Ioniq's direct rival, the Toyota Prius, and the Kia Niro should also be considered. As with any car, the Ioniq has a few drawbacks. To see our detailed review, including how the Ioniq performed in our real-world testing, check out the Edmunds' Expert Rating below.

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Ioniq Hybrid drive? Hyundai's Ioniq Hybrid is adequate across the board. Acceleration is slightly slower than average for this class. In our testing, the Ioniq Hybrid accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 9.6 seconds, which is below average. The Ioniq feels lethargic even with your foot on the floor.

Emergency braking performance is similarly subpar. However, the brakes work smoothly in everyday situations, and the handling and steering contribute to a somewhat lively feel when going around turns. In general, you'll have no issues with daily commuting, running errands or taking an occasional cruise.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Ioniq Hybrid? The Ioniq Hybrid is average in terms of overall comfort. The front seats provide decent cushioning and upper body support, but some drivers will wish for more lumbar support and more thigh support. The rear seats aren't particularly comfortable because of their upright backrests and firm padding.

We do like the Ioniq's ride quality, which is pleasantly smooth over most surfaces. The cabin remains quiet even at highway speeds. Unfortunately, that means you'll hear the engine working pretty hard when climbing grades. The simple single-zone climate control system works effectively.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Ioniq Hybrid's interior is functional, and passenger space is decent given its compact size. The driver's seat has enough adjustability to allow most drivers to find a comfortable driving position. Taller rear passengers will find the quarters a bit tight and will have to duck their heads to get in because of the Ioniq's sloping rear roofline.

Most controls are clearly labeled and arranged logically. But many of them are touch-sensitive buttons, which can be trickier to press than traditional buttons because it's harder to know whether your button press actually worked. Visibility is hampered somewhat by the car's front and rear pillars, but the available blind-spot monitoring system helps with the over-the-shoulder issues when switching lanes.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Ioniq Hybrid's technology features are straightforward to use. The available 10.25-inch touchscreen has bright and crisp-looking graphics but is a little slow in responding to your touch. Bluetooth pairing is quick, and smartphones can be connected with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The voice controls work well but are basic in what they can adjust.

The premium sound system in the Limited trim produces good clarity, and the navigation system is reminiscent of today's smartphones in look and feel. We like that a number of advanced safety and driver aids come standard. Only the lane keeping system was a little overly sensitive in our testing.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? Hatchbacks offer more utility than comparably sized sedans, so the Ioniq Hybrid naturally holds an advantage in this area. There's 26.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which is a lot more than you can fit in the Honda Insight's trunk. The Toyota Prius, at 27.4 cubic feet, has slightly more cargo space.

The Ioniq Hybrid also offers plenty of storage space for small items. The door pockets are somewhat narrow, but combine them with the deep center bin and center console nooks and you've got a good amount of space for your stuff. Our Limited test car had the wireless charging pad in the front cubby, which can hold larger phones. Car seat accommodation is just OK; anchor points are clearly marked but access to them is tight.

Fuel Economy

9.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? In its least expensive Blue configuration, the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 59 mpg combined, making it one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles around. The top-of-the-line Limited trim is slightly lower at 55 mpg combined. During Edmunds' testing, we were able to get an excellent combined average of 56 mpg. The onboard mpg meter was pretty close and indicated 55.3 mpg.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Ioniq Hybrid a good value? The Ioniq Hybrid offers solid value in this hybrid market. It may not be the cheapest model out there, but you get a lot for your money. And despite some cheap-looking interior surface plastics, the Ioniq Hybrid feels fundamentally well built.

Hyundai's warranty is best in class. It includes five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranties. The hybrid battery carries a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, and complimentary maintenance is provided for three years/36,000 miles. Roadside assistance is provided for five years with no mileage limit.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Ioniq Hybrid doesn't have blazing speed, brisk off-the-line acceleration or even edgy styling. But it is easy to drive and friendly to operate, and the mildly refreshed design is enough to attract a second look. On top of that, you get all the value that Hyundai typically brings to the table with more standard features than before.

Which Ioniq Hybrid does Edmunds recommend?

For not much more than the base trim, the SE trim is our choice because it's still affordable and offers plenty of features. The midlevel trim upgrades the interior with heated front seats, a larger instrument panel display and a power-adjustable driver's seat. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is also included for added safety.

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid models

4/5 stars, High value, High Tech, Low-medium Price

Mike, 03/28/2019

SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

Has a smooth but by-design hybrid acceleration (which is spongy and sluggish unless you really get aggressive with the pedal). This is somewhat mitigated by the sport mode, which is an on-the-fly shift on/off while in "D" (drive gear). The cockpit is low to the ground, so you must lift yourself out of it, but not too low. Folks with back injuries might have difficulty. The tech …

Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I have been wanting a more economical vehicle for several years, but did not care for the style and ride of what was offered. Then I read about the Hyundai line of Ioniq vehicles and was impressed. I did much research and talking with several Hyundai dealers and finally made a deal for a white Ioniq Limited with the Ultimate package. I have had the Ioniq for almost a month now and have …

5/5 stars, Amazed by my Ioniq

Murray, 06/19/2019

Blue 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

In April of 2019 I traded in my 2014 Accent GLS Hatchback 6-speed for a new Ioniq Hybrid Blue. I loved driving the Accent, but found the cargo space to be somewhat limiting at times, and this was my main reason for the "upgrade". So far, I have been very impressed with the Ioniq. The car is very comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive, and the mileage has been nothing short of amazing. …

4/5 stars, bright blue Hyundai Ioniq

Alexander Koops, 10/21/2018

Blue 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I just leased a brand new 2019 Hyundai Ionic Hybrid blue. It is the basic cheapest hybrid you can buy and I got the base cheapest model/version of this car. The car looks more awesome then Honda or Toyota in my opinion, and I love hatchbacks. The bright blue color is attractive and beautiful. It shifts well and is automatically in the economy mode all the time, but you can easily switch …

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid vs. Toyota Prius

The Ioniq Hybrid is essentially Hyundai's answer to the Prius, so both hybrid hatchbacks have a lot in common. The Ioniq is priced slightly lower and is a little more efficient, but the Prius comes standard with more advanced driver aids. If you need all-wheel drive, you're out of luck with the Ioniq, but it's available on most of the Prius' trim levels. Styling wise, the Prius is a bit of an oddball compared to the more mainstream-looking Ioniq.

Compare Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid & Toyota Prius features

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid vs. Kia Niro

The Niro is larger than the Ioniq but not by much. It has more rear seat room but less cargo space behind the rear seats. Front seat room is similar. Since both hybrids use the same electrified powertrain, they share the drawbacks of slow acceleration and the lack of all-wheel drive. Both rivals are efficient, but the Niro's heavier weight and less aerodynamic body make it less efficient than the Ioniq.

Compare Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid & Kia Niro features

Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid vs. Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

The Elantra Hybrid is one of Hyundai's latest hybrid offerings. Its 2021 redesign gives the sedan newer tech and a more modern look inside and out. It also comes standard with a lot more advanced driver aids. Cargo space is naturally less, but the Elantra does have more rear legroom. The Ioniq has the advantage in fuel economy, but not by much.
