About the Hyundai IONIQ Electric
The Hyundai IONIQ Electric was one of the first dedicated EV hatchbacks to offer a genuinely practical real-world range when it launched with the updated 38.3 kWh battery in 2019. It shared its streamlined body with the IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid, making it a conventional-looking choice in an era when many EVs still leaned into futuristic design.
The 38.3 kWh battery provided up to 193 miles of WLTP range, with real-world driving typically delivering 140-170 miles. The single front motor produced a modest 136 bhp, making it unhurried but perfectly adequate for daily driving. Hyundai's active liquid cooling kept battery temperatures well managed, and early reliability data has been positive.
DC charging maxed out at 70 kW via CCS, which was acceptable in 2019 but feels slow by current standards. A 10-to-80% charge took around 54 minutes. The slim, aerodynamic body and lightweight 1,527 kg kerb weight contributed to excellent efficiency — the IONIQ Electric was one of the most energy-efficient EVs of its era.
Production ended in July 2022 to make way for the IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, and IONIQ 9. As a used car, the IONIQ Electric represents good value — its liquid-cooled battery has aged well, and running costs remain extremely low. It is best suited to urban and suburban driving rather than long motorway trips.
What the press thinks
The IONIQ Electric was praised for its exceptional efficiency, sensible design, and solid build quality. The limited range and modest performance were accepted as trade-offs for a well-rounded, affordable EV. It laid the groundwork for Hyundai's current IONIQ sub-brand.
