EV Channels Review
The 2018 Hyundai Ioniq EV is presented as a highly efficient, practical, and attractively styled electric vehicle, particularly suited for daily commutes. The reviewer highlights its impressive 136 MPGe rating, surpassing even the Chevy Bolt, and a usable cargo space that exceeds competitors like the Bolt and e-Golf. While praised for its comfortable interior and user-friendly infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Ioniq EV's handling is noted as a compromise, being less refined than the Ioniq Hybrid due to skinnier tires and a non-independent rear suspension. Acceleration is described as sluggish compared to some modern EVs, and the 124-mile EPA range, while sufficient for many, falls short of segment leaders like the Bolt. The reviewer's verdict positions the Ioniq EV as a strong contender for budget-conscious buyers who prioritize efficiency and practicality over outright performance and maximum range, making it a close second to the Chevy Bolt.
