2020 HYUNDAI IONIQ PHEV – TEST DRIVE AND REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid, specifically the Limited trim, is presented as an excellent "best of all worlds" option by the reviewer. Charlie from Daily Motor highlights its impressive efficiency, consistently achieving over 50 MPG even at highway speeds, and a realistic 29 miles of electric-only range. He praises the ample cargo space, the user-friendly infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and the surprisingly good semi-autonomous driving assist features for its price point. The Harman Kardon sound system and wireless charging are noted as desirable features of the Limited trim. However, minor criticisms include the somewhat abrupt regeneration feel, a slightly tight rear headroom for taller adults, and the prevalence of gray interior materials which he found a bit cheap-looking. Despite these small drawbacks, the reviewer expresses a strong overall satisfaction, even stating he'd love to own one as a primary vehicle, citing its efficiency, features, and Hyundai's excellent warranty as major selling points, ultimately recommending it over competitors like the Prius.
