As-tested price: $36,835
Hyundai’s big push into the green-car space is called Ioniq. But rather than pick just one alternative-fuel powertrain, Hyundai has chosen three: Buyers can pick from a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, and a full-electric drivetrain. The Hyundai Ioniq Electric, which we’re putting through the wringer here, joins a segment that has an increasing number of new models each vying for eco-conscious buyers’ attention.
The Ioniq is easy to live with, looking like and driving like a regular gas-powered car, and very affordable, undercutting most of its competition. Driving range and battery size ratings are hugely important to EV shoppers, and the Ioniq Electric puts up impressive figures on both fronts. But is it quite enough to sway newcomers to try electric motoring?
To find it, we plugged in and charged up the Hyundai Ioniq Electric before subjecting it to our rigorous test regime. See how it fares - and how it stacks up to the Chevy Bolt EV - in our latest Why Buy?
SPECIFICATIONS:
Motor: Interior-Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
Transmission: Single-speed Reduction Gear
Output: 118 Horsepower / 215 Pound-Feet
EV Range: 124 Miles

When the question was "Hows the fuel economy?", you talked about range and charge time (which have nothing to do with fuel economy), failing to mention that the Ioniq is one of the most efficient EV's out there.
Fuel in the colloquial sense, off course. ;)
From the numbers that I've seen (136 MPGe) , it might be THE most efficient EV on the market right now.
Great job to the Koreans the first affordable electric car that actually looks good has good range and seems like a normal car.
I just test drove a 2017 Ioniq electric. I really feel like you undersold this car. It charges fast, it drives fast, its cheap, has a great range - who drives more than 100 miles in a day? And on the rare occasion you do, it charges fast. Also, ZERO emissions, and essentially free charging if you don't need fast chargers. For me it would cost $2 for a full charge overnight from 0%-100%.
Very nice video. Good voice, great editing (bag storage, options etc). Thumbs up!!!
I'd push back on the idea that the Ioniq EV is only for a certain special breed of people or just for city driving. The Ioniq isn't the cheapest vehicle around, though a pretty decent rebate is available in some states that can lower the price into the teens. But it should be able to work well enough even for trips up to around 300 miles as long as one has access to fast charging along the way.
Really good review. If there's chargers where I live I'd definitely look into the plug in or EV to daily. Seems well equipped and subtle.
Good review and nice voice. :) Thanks.
I like how it doesn't have an outrageous design like the Toyota Mirai and the wierd gear changer next to the steering wheel in the Prius.
When will it be available nationwide?
While foot leaving the acceleration pedal and engine brake applied, will the brake lights up?
Thanks for the video.
Only in Level 3 regenerative mode. And the feedback from the regen is quite strong if You don't ease into it by releasing the gas pedal in a slow manner. Cheers
nice review
What a really great car, I'll have to get one
Just spoken to a UK dealer, and they say that there is no stoke for the whole of the UK, and that the only number expected in March 2018 is 100 cars, yes 100 cars I can't believe this amazing car is being let down by its manufacture commitment. There are not even demo cars anyware near to where I live!!!!!!
How come nobody talks about brake feel other than the goddamn paddle shifters? Does it have a firm brake pedal or spongy like most hybrids?
It has cooling in the front seats
This is one of my favorite EVs, because it's very like a normal car, except electric. However, I'd probably wait for next year when a 200+ mile version of the Ioniq is supposed to come out.
Dan Sanger to my knowledge they’ve scrapped that idea in favor of the Kona electric.
@@Matadurr . What a shame
Seems like a undervalued EV. Stacks up pretty good against the LEAF (I have a 2013 S).
Looks better than the competition
air cooled battery? Like the Nissan leaf? or water cooled like the Tesla?
air cooled
Looks like another viable EV entering the market. However, I wonder when it will be available in the USA (outside of Calif and Ore)?
Yeah I'm not sure why brands are trying to get cute with the shifters these days.
Sucks that it's only available in California.
wish list; leather delete option,next year's battery now, panoramic sunroof.
E-golf with the larger battery will not deliver more range when driving long distance trips. I am completely certain the Ioniq will go farther on a charge from 60km/h and faster, it is soo efficient at high speeds.
Filip Bjurling ,Forget about VW, I will not forgive them for lying and polluting. They better make their chargers free or I will advise everyone I meet against them.
as if any other brand is more "eco-friendly" lol welcome to reality.
Filip Bjurling I just got the updated Ford Focus EV with a 33.5 kwh battery and its range is very comparable to the ioniq EV if not perhaps a tad better or worse (almost negligible though). Really the ioniq, golf, and focus are all have nearly the same driving range as of 2017. The primary difference is just preference of the styles.
Jacob Dykstra how do you know? i test drove the bmw i3 33kwh battery and the ioniq, in the highway, for instance. the ioniq got around 30 percent better range.
Filip Bjurling I own the focus EV and test drove the ioniq. The ioniq is a rather efficient car (in terms of electric cars) but the new focus EV is far better than their old version and comes very close to the ioniq. Both cars also tell you exactly how far you can go per kwh when you drive them. The i3 33kwh I have not driven but considering the size of the i3 I would expect a bit less range. The new egolf I also havent touched but I'm going off what is expected of the new model as well as the battery size of the new egolf.
is it still a good buy as a used car in 2020 ?
I saw that their value is predicted to go down significantly in next year or so ...
you can pick up these models now here in Australia for 20% below their initial sticker price. As the new 38 kwh version has come up, but please note these cars sell for $50k Australian dollars and so the 2 year old ones are now selling for $40,000 with no government incentives.
@@clayton4115 thanks
Here in Canada I saw a the new 38 kwh Preferred in demo at $30k VS a used one Ultimate at $29k - $30k.
I can't find a used one under $20k.
@@gorgeplo wow wish we had prices like those here!
This is the most cost-efficient electric car so far. In America, it costs $29.5K. After the $7.5 federal tax rebate, it costs just $22K, making it a real ECONOMY car. With the much lower price of electricity than gasoline, it's definitely a Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla killer. However, it's range is only 124 miles.
Why do you call it a “Hunday”. .
Because you and your friend can sleep in the back of it. You cant that in Opel amper e. e golf ore the bmw i3.
200km range that's not good if want to use it in my country. So I'm gonna wait for it's facelift variant or maybe it's next gen, the range should be improved by then.
MS_ B you can get a bolt now with 350km/235mile range or wait for a model 3 later this year with a base range of 215miles but that will probably go up to 250miles with a larger battery option.
The price is way too high compared to the Kona, the bolt and the Tesla 3 which gives you almost 2 and 1/2 x the range With leather interiors and cooling seats and a lot more if you own one of these older Ev Styles you need to sell it right away because the resale prices going to drop drastically as Kona Bolt and Tesla come out in the same price range.
why do he sounds like a germen/ British hybrid
Taco Bell!
If war breaks out in the Middle East between the two main oil producers, these, Nissan Leafs and Teslas will be the only cars on the road.
cant someone other than tesla release a decent ev???
Charging might be kinda cheap now but When all ppl goes over to this . Demand must screw the prices up? Like gas in europe.
you really don't need the voice over guy
@5:13 The so called "noise" was never the problem in most gas powered cars but the lack of it becomes a problem in EVs when they approach a pedestrian.
leather isn't luxurious anymore, wouldn't pay for thia toxic material.. better to go with resources which are responsible and sustainable like pineapple leather.. nice review, thanks for that.
i did like driving it
Not a lot cheaper! Misrepresenting the facts
Taken over the life of the vehicle - its much cheaper!
Wayne Russell ，when it is packed with 60kwh battery like Bolt then I will say a lot cheaper, right now it is not! None of the BEV promotions mention the battery degradation and ultimate death. As of now we know some quality engines will last 300K to 500K miles, what about battery?
"some quality engines"? But what about the constant replacement of consumables, servicing and the high cost of consumption.
Savings for any replacement are recouped on using an EV.
Modern EV's simply lose too little on battery life over usage.
i0.wp.com/electrek.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/tesla-battery-degradation-2.png
We are not talking about mobile phones and laptops here.
m1aws ，which Tesla has proved its lifetime durability over 300k-500k miles? quality engines by Toyota, Honda had proven that.
YES - see also last Fully Charged video mentioning that article. 5% battery degradation in first 50 000 miles, then zero for next 250 000 miles with no maintenance. So current chemistry will make the 'engine' last longer than the life of the vehicle (8000 miles average per car per year in UK). Lifetime warranty is surely soon possible, and ongoing battery tech and the many Gigafactories being developed all over the world will drop prices lower than Teslas' current less than $100kWh (Bolt LG battery $145kwh).
Prius copycat
Oops, I must have missed something. When did Toyota release an all electric Prius?
Lester Thurrow weeaboo alert.
Puss wuss signal #1: It's a Hyundai
Puss wuss signal #2: It's a hybrid
I think you forgot to play the video. This one is not a hybrid.
Puss wuss signal #3 it runs on coal produced electricity
Sure thing. But it also runs on renewables. You know what also runs on coal produced electricity? Oil refineries. "coal" is not a point in itself. But if we continue along these lines, I can give a suggestion for the next ones:
- Its production uses more energy than the production of a gasoline car.
- All Samsung batteries are dangerous and bad. And this has a similar battery.
- It can't go 600 miles without stopping.
- It takes more than 5 minutes to fully recharge its battery.
- It doesn't sound loud and manly.
- It's a Hyuandai
- It only runs on coal and diesel generators.
- It uses a one speed reduction gear and requires no skill to fully accelerate.
- It doesn't have a V8
- Charging at public chargers in a foreign country isn't easy.
- It might kill your baby.
Oh, and obviously it's a Hyuandai...
Coal is good, oil is better. Preferably, oil from Big Oil since Big Oil helps America use oil and cheaply and as CLEANLY as possible. America uses oil and coal CLEANER than any Global Superpower. I'll forget for 1 second that Hyundai sucks if only to clarify that sanity mandates being pro-oil and pro-coal.
Drill baby drill!
Coal and oil have had great advantages. The reason we're phasing them out is that they're finite - that is, their main merit is that millions of years have made them energy dense, and then we "only" need to extract and process it. When there's no longer any deposits left, it won't be very attractive to produce. And the reason we're scaling them down this early, is of course our ever-accelerating disturbance of the carbon cycle - both the sinks (rainforests and phytoplankton) and the sources (rapidly adding ghg's that had exited the carbon cycle millions of years ago).
I imagine you're among those who don't find it important to lower the risks of our atmospheric experiment. Even if not, it's not very sexy to care about, so most people don't. We might talk about it in small talk, like we talk about the weather and "the others", but too much make most people nauseous.
Yet the main reason that it actually is happening is that it's getting economically superior. Money rules the world, after all.
