Hyundai’s Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid comes back unchanged for another year, but it is still only sold in 11 states (CA, CO, CT, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, OR, RI, & VT). Offered in three trims - the SE, the SEL, and the Limited - pricing for the PHEV begins at $27, 845. That isn’t necessarily what you’ll pay, however, as this vehicle is eligible for government incentives such as the federal tax credit or the CVRP and California Clean Fuel Reward in California. Other states may have their own incentives for buying an EV like this, and it can add up to a better deal.

One of three different electric versions next to the Ioniq Hybrid and Ioniq EV, the Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid contains a 1.6L 16-valve I-4 engine with six-speed EcoShift Dual Clutch transmission. There is also the option to drive in all-electric mode using the lithium-ion polymer battery. This gives the Ioniq PHEV 139 hp of gas and electric combined, 52 combined mpg for gas mode, 125 lb-ft of torque, 119 MPGe on electric mode, and 29-mile all-electric range on a fully charged battery. The combined battery and gas range totals up to 620 miles. This vehicle can charge in less than seven hours with a standard 110V/120V outlet or in about two hours with a 240V outlet. With the Bluelink app, consumers can use Charge Indicators and Scheduling to set their car to charge during certain hours when rates are lower.

Battery technology isn’t all the tech this PHEV has, it also comes available with features such as wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, an eight or 10.25-inch display screen, a buttonless climate control interface, Harman Kardon audio system, and access to mobile apps, maps, and infotainment via the touchscreen. Other cabin features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a proximity key with a push-to-start button, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats to utilize the 119 cubic feet of cargo space available.

Along with the tech comes safety as well. Hyundai has equipped the Ioniq PHEV with blind-spot collision warning, lane-keeping assist, highway drive assist, rear cross-traffic collision warning, high beam assist, driver attention warning, smart cruise control, and forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection. Another highlight is that the brakes can use three different types of energy capture to convert the mechanical energy from the wheels into electricity and store it in the battery.

Other vehicles that the Ioniq PHEV might find competition in include the Toyota Prius Prime and Subaru Crosstrek PHEV.
