HYUNDAI IONIQ PHEV - EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW

EV Channels Review

The Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid is reviewed as a practical and comfortable family car, though not a performance vehicle. The reviewer highlights its user-friendly interior, comfortable seats, and good tech features, including dual-zone climate control with a driver-only setting. Practicality is a strong point, with ample boot space, though fitting a large mountain bike proved challenging. The reviewer found the real-world electric range of 34 miles to be decent, falling short of the quoted 39 miles, and the combined fuel economy of 68 MPG was significantly less than the 256 MPG Hyundai claims, but still considered impressive. A notable drawback is the foot-operated handbrake, which the reviewer found frustrating. While the car offers a comfortable and gadget-filled experience, its performance is described as adequate rather than exciting, even in sport mode. The reviewer concludes that while it doesn't match the outright performance desired for replacing a performance car like an S4, it represents excellent value for money at just over £27,000, offering a compelling package for those seeking a comfortable, tech-rich, and economical hybrid.
