What's new

Hyundai makes no changes to the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid
Part of the first Ioniq generation introduced for 2017

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

11/22/2022

Hyundai is winding down production of its original Ioniq lineup of electrified vehicles. The fully electric model has been canceled for 2022, leaving a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid model in the lineup. If this seems like an odd strategy as all automakers gear up for the transition to electric vehicles, worry not. The Ioniq name will continue to serve on new Hyundai EVs, starting with the daring Ioniq 5 that debuts for 2023.

In the meantime, the 2022 Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid enjoys one last lap. It is a great vehicle to consider if you're interested in owning an electric car but worry you'll have trouble charging it. It gives you an EPA-rated 29 miles of pure electric range before the internal combustion engine starts up, at which point it will average 52 mpg in hybrid mode. Start off with a full battery pack and fuel tank, and an Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid will travel an estimated 620 miles before you'll need to find a gas station or an electrical outlet.

Affordable pricing makes the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid appealing, and Hyundai adds value with a long warranty, complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, and a free three-year subscription to Bluelink connected services. It also earns favorable crash test ratings and has a roomy trunk thanks to its five-door hatchback design.

This Hyundai's only rivals are the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid and the Toyota Prius Prime. Among these three, the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid is an appealing choice.

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid trim level differences

Three trim levels are available for the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid hatchback: SE, SEL and Limited. They all share a hybrid powertrain and six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with the regular Ioniq Hybrid, but thanks to a larger 8.9-kWh battery, the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid can drive an EPA-estimated 29 miles on all-electric power. The powertrain combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a 44.5-kW electric motor to produce a total of 139 horsepower. Charging a depleted battery takes about two hours using a Level 2 (240-volt) charger and over six hours using a Level 1 (120-volt) charger.

Which Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

It makes sense to upgrade to the Limited trim level. It costs more than the midgrade SEL, but you get leather seats, the top-shelf infotainment system, a premium sound system, and a semi-automated highway driver assistance system in exchange for the extra cash.

Don't overlook the Ioniq! Completely underrated..

Funktional, 06/02/2019

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

My short list for vehicles included the Volt, the Prius Prime and the Clarity PHEV. I wasn't even considering the Ioniq only because it doesn't seem to get the same press that the others do. The Volt was out as soon as I drove it, it felt cheap, didn't have seating for 5 and when I calculated my commuting costs, the fact that it advertised over 50 miles of EV driving didn't make up for … its dismal hybrid fuel economy. The Clarity was the overall nicest of the bunch but also by far the most expensive so it came down to the Prius Prime for me. I hate the looks of the Prime, it's pretty ugly outside, the interior is weird and not very attractive to me and it only seats 4. I didn't even know Hyundai made a PHEV until the Toyota salesman mentioned it to me while giving me the usual marketing competitive stats. I decided to go drive one and from the start I was super impressed. I liked the fact that it was a more traditional looking car, the interior was very comfortable and again, not as weird/quirky as the Toyota. The Ioniq rides like a dream, I drive 100 miles round trip every day so a comfortable ride is very important to me. In comparison, the Prius Prime rode and felt more like a basic economy car. After the test drive I was completely sold on the Ioniq. After the federal rebate the Ioniq PHEV will come to about $20,000 which is an absolute bargain. Now for ownership. So far I've put 1,000 miles on my Ioniq PHEV. I sold a highly modified 2016 Subaru WRX with almost 400 wheel horsepower after deciding to get something more grown up and sensible. I will say that I have wayyyyy more fun driving the Ioniq than I ever did the WRX. No, it doesn't have the power or handling of my WRX but it does handle a lot better than it should and when you need it, that 195 foot pounds of torque goes a long way when merging into traffic. What's even more fun is seeing what kind of fuel economy I can squeeze out of it. Until I was able to install a charging point at my house I drove purely in Hybrid mode and no matter how I drove I couldn't get anything less than 50mpg (Keeping up with 75mph traffic on the Turnpike). Using a level 2 EVSE I can fully charge the battery in just over 2 hours and despite being rated for 29 miles of EV driving I am actually getting closer to 40 miles of EV range which is fantastic. Add in the excellent Hyundai warranty to include the lifetime warranty on the battery and it's a no brainer. If you're considering a Prius Prime or even just a regular Prius I urge you to go test drive an Ioniq.

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

1) It is a great car for the money. 2) I went 1200 miles on my first tank of gas. I had no idea how nice it is to not look for a gas station. 3) Visibility, It is a great car for short people to drive. 4) It is much better looking than a Prius, it is a good looking car. 5) If feels so smooth on city and suburb roads. 6) The car is bigger than it looks. I fit a long pool pole in it with …

It is a great Plug-in car

Kevin T., 01/17/2019

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I purchased 2019 Ioniq Plug-In. At full charge, it starts with 29 mi in EV electric mode, then it automatically shifts to hybrid mode ( about 52 mph). I rarely used hybrid mode since I use 25 miles for my typical daily commute. A full charge at 110V for 29 miles takes about 7 hrs. For EVcharger 240 V (level 2), it takes 2.5 hrs - 3 hrs for a full charge 29 miles. I like the car very …

A change to your driving style with a PHEV

LDB, 05/28/2021

2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid 6AM)

Just purchased a used 2020 Ioniq PHEV top trim level. This car has a lot to offer for the price point. The biggest thing to consider for myself was the change in driving style. In EV with a dual clutch you need to be a little more aggressive on the acceleration pedal. Then you will get smoother gear shifts and acceleration. Granted this acceleration is not that of a Golf GTI or anything … but it's adequate for getting on the highway or up hills. If you need extra power drop it into sport mode. Be in control when you need extra power with sport mode. In this mode this car flies pretty good. Again don't be afraid to push it. I think like me a lot of people think they have to back off on the pedal a lot to baby the car to get best fuel economy. I just started to drive it bit more aggressively with smooth engagement of accelerator pedal and the Ioniq behaves more like a real car. The engine gets quite loud when in sport mode but I tell you it's pretty responsive. Nice to have the this option in a car that I'm currently getting approx. 180MPG+ when I plug it in everyday with my 30mile commute. The regenerative paddle shifters are also great. It makes you pay attention to driving and if done right I always get at least 5-6 extra EV miles with my commute. Of course that is dependant on hold and stuff. The only real drawbacks I see is the engine is loud in HEV and It's also needed to heat the cabin in winter. There is no heat pump in the Ioniq like the Prius prime so interior heat is supplied by the ICE. At first when you ask for heat from climate control unit and it's cold out the engine will start and run almost full out and you will hear it and wonder what's going on. The car can still be in EV for driving if the battery permits but the engine will run until internal temp is enough to provide heat then it will shut off while still heating the cab. It will depend on the outside temp but will eventually turn off. Then you will have a nice tranquil sounding EV ride again. The good thing is while the ICE is heating up it also recharges the battery. It is not being used to propel the car unless needed. If its not that cold heated seats and steering wheel will do the trick. A/C runs off the battery so in summer your engine only starts when the car goes to HEV when battery is depleted for EV or if sport mode is engaged. I test drove the Prius Prime and ioniq for an extended over night drive and the Ioniq was a nicer normal car experience inside and out for me. Not to mention the infotainment system and sound is lightyears away from the one in the top trim Prime. It was the deal breaker for me among other things. The Prius Prime was nice but a little to radical for me and my middle age. The Ioniq is just enough of a green statement for me without looking too futuristic... especially on the inside.
