Is the Hyundai Ioniq fully electric?
The Ioniq comes in three flavours – hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full-electric. When it launched in 2017, it was the first car to be offered with three different power sources.
What is the range of the Hyundai Ioniq?
That depends on which one you go for. As we’re a website that loves cars with plugs, let’s focus on the plug-in hybrid and the electric. The plug-in has an electric range of 32 miles (add in the petrol engine and the total range is over 660 miles), while the Ioniq Electric has an electric range of 194 miles.
Are all Hyundai Ioniqs automatic?
Simple answer? Yes. No matter which Ioniq you go for – hybrid, PHEV or full electric – they all come an automatic gearbox. The pedantic answer is that the electric version has a different type of gearbox but let’s not dwell on that. Essentially, the Ioniq comes with an automatic gearbox and you can’t change gears with a gear stick and there’s no clutch pedal.
What is the range of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric?
The Ioniq Electric can manage 194 miles from a 38kW battery. Close to 200 miles for £31,000 is actually pretty good value; to get more miles than that you’ll need to spend more on a Nissan Leaf or go a size smaller with a Renault Zoe.
Is the Hyundai Ioniq self-charging?
The Ioniq Electric certainly isn’t – there’s no fully electric car that can charge itself unless witchcraft is involved. You have to plug in the Electric and the Plug-in to charge them, although the Ioniq Hybrid is marketed as a self-charging car – but that is a little misleading.
