Hyundai IONIQ 2019–2022 car dimensions: 4470 mm long, 1820 mm wide and 1450 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,469 kg. Braked towing is 750 kg.
The cabin has a standard 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all versions, upgrading to 8-inch or 10.25-inch navigation screens on higher grades. Dual-zone automatic climate control is fitted as standard on hybrid and plug-in models, with single-zone on the electric. Basic cruise control is standard, while smart adaptive cruise is trim-dependent. A reversing camera comes standard. Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, and blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert are available on mid and higher trims or as options depending on market and grade. Rear parking sensors are trim or optional. The layout is clean with soft-touch materials, a D-cut wheel, and available wireless charging, making daily drives connected and straightforward with solid basic aids.
Boot space is 456 litres with seats up on the hybrid (to top of seats), rising to 563 litres to the roof, and expands to 1518 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded. Plug-in hybrid is smaller at 341 litres seats up due to the battery, and electric around 350-455 litres. The high floor and sloping roof limit taller items, but the space is wide and practical for a compact liftback with a load cover.
Hybrid models are rated to tow 750 kg braked. Electric and plug-in versions have lower or no official towing capacity in some markets. Payload sits around 400-475 kg depending on variant and kerb weight versus GVWR. It suits light duties or occasional trailer use but is not built for heavy work given the compact eco focus and standard suspension.
The cabin offers soft-touch surfaces and generous head, shoulder and leg room for a compact liftback. Front seats feel supportive for daily use with available leather and power adjustment including lumbar. Dual-zone climate control with rear vents keeps temperatures even. Higher grades add heated and ventilated front seats plus heated outer rear seats and a heated steering wheel. A tilt-and-slide sunroof is available. The electric version runs especially quiet with low vibration.
Hybrid fuel economy around 55-59 mpg combined depending on market and wheels.
Service interval every 12 months or 7,500 miles / 15,000 km.
Euro NCAP 5-star rating retained for the facelifted generation across hybrid, PHEV and electric.
IIHS Top Safety Pick with Good ratings in all crashworthiness tests when equipped with optional front crash prevention.
Standard seven airbags including driver's knee airbag plus ESC, ABS and rearview camera.
Fuel use stays low across the range. The hybrid pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for strong combined economy in mixed driving. The plug-in hybrid adds meaningful electric-only range for short trips before switching to hybrid mode. The full electric version delivers zero tailpipe emissions with efficient energy use from its battery pack.
Servicing follows a straightforward schedule of oil and filter changes plus inspections every 12 months or 7,500 miles under normal conditions. Severe use shortens some intervals. Hybrid and electric versions need less frequent attention to fewer moving parts, keeping long-term costs predictable. Coolant and other major fluids last longer between replacements.
Safety starts with a rigid body using extensive high-strength steel and seven airbags. Active systems include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist and driver attention warning as standard or widely available. Blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic alert and smart cruise control appear on higher grades. Crash tests confirm strong occupant protection.
Ownership is simple thanks to the long warranty coverage typical of the brand and low running costs from efficient powertrains. Regular dealer or independent services keep the hybrid system and battery healthy. The liftback body and split-fold rear seats make loading easy for everyday use.
