Blue 4dr Hatchback
2021 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid
The 2021 Hyundai Ioniq is a five-seat hatchback that comes in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric versions. It's an excellent value and one of the most efficient cars you can buy. For 2021 it has carried over from the prior model year, unchanged. The Ioniq has a handsome shape that isn't especially adventurous; Hyundai wanted it to look conventional, and not to flaunt its electricity. It has a friendly face, a sloping roof, and user-friendly instrumentation.
Its 139-horsepower hybrid system brings an EPA-rated 58 miles per gallon combined. The Electric model has a range of 170 miles. The Plug-In Hybrid is good for 29 miles of all-electric driving. All have modest acceleration and no-nonsense handling. It only comes with front-wheel drive.
The Ioniq excels as a car for a daily short commute. The cockpit is organized like a sewing basket, neat as a pin, and the front seats, with a low driving position, have ample support. It's less welcoming in back, because of its aerodynamic low roofline, but there's more than 26.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
The Ioniq Hybrid is EPA-rated at 55 mpg city, 54 highway, 55 combined. In Blue trim, with low-rolling-resistance tires, it gets 57/59/58 mpg.
The Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid can go for 29 miles before the gas engine kicks in, for a 52-mpg combined rating, or a net of 119 MPGe.
The Ioniq Electric can go for 170 miles before it needs a recharge, as tested by the EPA, with a calculated mileage of 133 MPGe. It's only sold in the states that conform to California's ZEV rules.
The 2021 Ioniq hasn't been safety-tested, although the IIHS called it a Top Safety Pick in the past, Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitors and adaptive cruise control are optional.
