BBC programme, Top Gear, has this to say about the Hyundai Ioniq Hatchback, "At last, a hybrid that doesn't make you suffer for its green ideals. Top of the class." That's a very bold statement and, we're sure you'll agree, pretty impressive too. But, does the Hyundai Ioniq Hatchback live up to this claim? We think it does. Read more
Until recently, electric vehicles and hybrid's haven't really been about the driving experience. They're about economy and ditching as much fossil fuel as possible. But this is a car that bucks that trend. The ioniq manages to be both a guilt-free and a rather fun drive.
The Ioniq isn't dulled by an unresponsive CVT. It has a dual clutch unit designed for low friction as well as excellent economy. It's blessed with effortless capability whether you're driving about town or hitting the country roads. Read less
The Hyundai Ioniq Hatchback is pleasing styled all over. Features include a large grille and a coupe-like roofline. That's partly for looks and partly for aerodynamics and therefore fuel-economy. Hyundai's designers gave the Ioniq a facelift in 2019, which brought small changes only where needed - after all, why change features that work and look good already? Updates included, most interestingly, the Hyundai Kona, which allows 'one-pedal driving', new LED headlights, a new grille and alloy wheel designs.
The Ioniq is understated rather than boasting about its impressive tech. It feels classy and has a good build quality inside.
You'll easily fit the family in too. There's plentiful space in the front and back as well as decent boot space that can be extended by folding the rear seats down.
