Ioniq Hybrid

The Ioniq Hybrid uses a 1.6-liter engine and an electric motor. It combines both to produce 139 horsepower. It is known for being very fuel-efficient, with some versions achieving 58 miles per gallon.

Ioniq Electric

change

The Ioniq Electric is the fully electric version. It uses an electric motor powered by a battery. The Ioniq Electric can drive up to 170 miles (274 km) on a full charge, depending on the model year.

Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid

change

The Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid is similar to the Ioniq Hybrid, but it can also drive short distances using only electricity. The car has an electric-only range of about 29 miles (47 km).

Discontinuation

change

The production of the Hyundai Ioniq ended in July 2022. This was because Hyundai decided to focus on new electric cars under the Ioniq brand. These new models include the Ioniq 5 (a crossover), Ioniq 6 (a sedan), and Ioniq 7 (an SUV), which started to be sold after the Ioniq was discontinued.
