2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In-Hybrid review

1. Plug-in-hybrid powertrain

If you want to switch to an electric vehicle but aren't ready to go with an all-electric powertrain, the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid is an excellent compromise. This model features a 1.6L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and an 8.9-kWh battery pack with an EPA-estimated range of 29 miles on a full charge (electric only) and an EPA-estimated range of 620 miles with a full charge and full tank of gas.

 This plug-in-hybrid powertrain is great if you appreciate the electric-only range but don't want to be slowed by charging. When the battery runs low or more robust acceleration is required, the gas engine quickly takes over.

2. Pleasing ride

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In-Hybrid is an ideal daily driver with its confident on-road presence and solid handling. Whether zipping through traffic or navigating twisty roads, this hatchback is agile and stable with its responsive steering and minimal body roll. Another plus is the 2022 Ioniq Plug-In-Hybrid's regenerative braking system. It pairs a natural pedal feel with strong stopping power while also generating energy to send back to the battery.

3. Modern interior

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid features an upscale interior with a contemporary design. Anchoring the cabin is a sleek dashboard with clean lines. All trims also pair a leather steering wheel with heated front seats for extra comfort. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures all passengers are satisfied. Push-button start and keyless entry are other standard features that earn the 2022 Ioniq Plug-In-Hybrid high marks.

4. User-friendly tech

You should consider the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In-Hybrid if searching for a vehicle with intuitive tech. There's a lot to love about this plug-in hybrid electric vehicle's (PHEV) standard features—from Bluetooth^® connectivity and dual USB ports to Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration on all trims. SE and SEL models include an eight-inch color touchscreen display, while the trim-topping Limited adds both a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen display and a navigation system. Physical controls make it easy to adjust functions, and wireless charging (SEL and Limited) is convenient for keeping devices charged.

5. Popular driver aids

Do you want a PHEV with the latest bells and whistles? The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid offers no shortage of standard driver assists. All models include forward collision warning, cruise control, pedestrian detection, and automatic emergency braking to help you avoid obstacles in your path. The standard lane-keeping system keeps you on course, while drowsy driver detection alerts you when it's time to take a break. A rearview camera is essential in busy parking lots, and the automatic high-beam headlights ensure good visibility.
