2018 Hyundai Ioniq Electric Plus Review

Hyundai is sparing no effort with its IONIQ. Last year it debuted the Hybrid version and the Electric version, and more recently in 2018 it has introduced the third variant, a plug-in hybrid – the Electric Plus.

In doing so the carmaker is able to meet the requirements of a larger portion of the pro-electric crowd. While the Hybrid is the most affordable of the three, the Electric is the most expensive. What’s more, the latter’s maximum 200-km range makes it a limited option, not practical for those who regularly do longer distances.

Enter the Electric Plus, in many ways a perfect compromise choice until such time as electric cars benefit from longer ranges and really take off in the marketplace. The official maximum range of the IONIQ Electric Plus is 1,000 km, although my tester displayed a range, with a full tank of gas, of 940. Either way, that’s a pretty good feat, especially if you consider that the possible average fuel consumption is 4.1L/100 km.
