Used Hyundai Ioniq Electric cars

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is a practical mid-size hatchback that’s also one of the best-value electric cars you can get. Not only does it cost less than many similar cars, every model comes with lots of standard features. It’s good to drive, with responsive steering and suspension that gives you and your passengers a quiet, smooth ride.

The Hyundai Ioniq was launched in 2016 as a brand-new model. Unusually, hybrid and plug-in hybrid Ioniq models are sold alongside the Ioniq Electric, so you can choose from three different types of power. The range was updated in 2019, with the biggest change being a larger infotainment display on the dashboard. At the same time, the Ioniq Electric also got a more powerful motor and a larger battery that gives you more range. Premium and Premium SE models are available, both of which are very well equipped.

You get lots of standard features for your money with the Ioniq Electric. The Premium trim level includes sat nav, smartphone connectivity, climate control, cruise control, parking sensors and heated seats among a long list of standard features. On top of that, Premium SE models give you leather upholstery and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

According to official average figures, the latest Ioniq Electric (sold since 2019) has a range of up to 193 miles on a fully charged battery. Recharging from a home electric car charger can take up to 6.5 hours, while an 80% recharge from a 100kW public charger takes just under an hour. Older Ioniq models have a range of around 160 miles and need a bit longer to charge.

Other electric mid-size hatchbacks include the Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen ID.3 and there are electric SUVs of similar size such as the Kia e-Niro. In comparison, the Ioniq isn’t quite as spacious as any of these, but it offers you better value and an enjoyable driving experience.
