Hyundai IONIQ (2017-2022) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Choice of electrified powertrains	Not much fun to drive
Futuristic styling	Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom
Low running costs	Fidgety ride of EV and PHEV models

Quick Summary

The Hyundai IONIQ (2017-2022) is a versatile family hatchback available in three electrified variants: self-charging hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and fully electric (EV). Its sleek, aerodynamic design sets it apart from more conventional rivals, whilst the light and airy interior features high-quality materials and comfortable, supportive seats. The hybrid offers a spacious 443-litre boot, whilst the PHEV and EV models provide 341 and 350 litres respectively, all impressive for their class. The 2019 facelift brought suspension improvements and a more responsive infotainment system.

The IONIQ prioritises economy and environmental responsibility over driving excitement, delivering composed and capable on-road manners suitable for families and commuters. The hybrid achieves around 83mpg in real-world urban driving, whilst the PHEV offers 31 miles of electric-only range. The electric model provides brisk acceleration and seamless driving, with 174-193 miles of range depending on the year. Insurance groups range from 10 to 17, and all variants offer low running costs and strong reliability credentials, making the IONIQ an affordable entry point into electrified motoring.

Best for: Environmentally conscious families seeking lower motoring costs, those wanting to transition to electric vehicles, and drivers prioritising practicality and comfort over performance.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking engaging driving dynamics, those requiring maximum rear headroom, or drivers who prioritise ride comfort in EV and PHEV variants.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the IONIQ if: You're environmentally conscious, seeking lower motoring costs, wanting to transition to electric vehicles, or prioritising practicality and comfort for family use.

Consider alternatives if: You value engaging driving dynamics, require maximum rear headroom, or prefer a smoother ride in EV and PHEV variants.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai IONIQ (2017-2022) is a strong contender in the electrified family hatchback market, offering excellent value and versatility through its three powertrain options. Whilst the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 provides superior driving dynamics and the Toyota Prius offers proven hybrid reliability, the IONIQ's futuristic styling, spacious interior, and low running costs make it an attractive proposition for environmentally conscious families. The electric variant particularly represents an affordable and practical entry point into EV ownership, outperforming the Nissan Leaf in user satisfaction and overall appeal.
