Motor and performance

Hyundai installs a single 100kW electric motor into the EV IONIQ. It drives the front wheels only. Power is rated at 100kW, while torque is a healthy 295Nm. As a permanent magnet synchronous motor type, it should deliver high levels of efficiency, certainly much higher than a conventional combustion engine. Advantages of this motor include favourable power to weight ratios and a reputation for solid reliability.

According to Hyundai Germany (we couldn't find the information from Australia), the IONIQ Electric is capable of 165km/h flat out and it can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 9.9 seconds using sport mode. In normal mode, you'll need to add on 0.3 seconds, making it 10.2 to 100km/h.

Hyundai IONIQ transmissions

Where a conventional engine is matched with a multi-gear transmission, an electric car doesn't really need all of those speeds. This is because EVs are high-revving, meaning they spin fast. They are capable of delivering 100% torque right from the off. You don't need to have extra gears, which help extract the optimum performance from an engine, as they deliver their power and torque more consistently. This also saves weight and improves efficiency thanks to fewer moving parts.

As a result, the IONIQ Electric has a single-speed drivetrain.

Car reviewers' impressions of the Hyundai IONIQ engine and transmission line-up

How did car reviewers find the IONIQ's motor and transmission?

The car apparently is a bit of a train, in that it seems to be able to pull with ease at any speed.

One tester said sport mode was a must for ducking and weaving through city traffic, giving slightly faster acceleration. Others stated the IONIQ, despite not being a sports car, was actually very spirited and enjoyable while in this mode.

A nice side-benefit noticed by reviewers was the extra space afforded by no conventional gearbox and the lack of a clutch. Testers also said that the regen braking, where you lift off the throttle pedal and the car slows you down, took little time to get used to. You can change the level of how aggressive the energy reclaiming and braking effect is, using paddle shifters that sit just behind the steering wheel. One reviewer labelled it one-pedal mode, a bit like dodgem/bumper cars.

As their name suggests, Eco and Eco+ are the driving modes to go for when you want to maximise your range and efficiency. One of the motoring panellists preferred these modes when driving around town.

To sum it up, you should quickly get used to using the car, with the biggest difference from a traditional fossil-fuelled car likely to be the lack of engine noise.

Battery charging and range

How much energy does the Hyundai IONIQ Electric use? And how far will it travel on a single charge?

We use the Green Vehicle Guide as our source for energy efficiency and range statistics for all of our car reviews. Incidentally, it ranks as the greenest vehicle on that website. According to the GVG, the IONIQ Electric uses 117Wh per km. There are 1,000 watts in a Kilowatt hour.

To travel 14,000kms in one year, with a 66% urban and the rest high-speed driving mix, it estimated you'd spend $491 on electricity. That's based on the electricity costing 30 cents per kWh. Factoring in the lifetime emissions from the power plants and manufacturing, while tailpipe emissions are zero (EVs don't have an exhaust), the IONIQ Electric is responsible for 103g of CO2 per km. By comparison, a Hyundai i30 1.6-litre diesel hatch outputs 142g/km depending on the trim. The EV's carbon dioxide figures should lower when Australia switches to a renewables-oriented mix for power generation.

EV range

Hyundai's official figures indicate the IONIQ EV is good for 311km (according to the WLTP test) before the battery will need recharging.

You need to know this about fuel efficiency figures
Car manufacturers have to put their vehicles through stringently-mandated fuel efficiency tests. As a result, they remove variables like weather conditions, fluctuating traffic levels, aggressive driving styles and vehicle wear/maintenance conditions.

As a result (and this is true of all vehicles, whether electric or with an engine), what you're able to achieve in real-world driving, on public roads, may differ.

How did the IONIQ EV fare at the hands of car reviewers? Pretty well it seems.

One motoring journalist discovered that Hyundai's range claims of 311km were not unrealistic. They also felt the trip computer did an excellent job of calculating the remaining charge levels. Another tester was able to get reasonably close to the factory energy consumption digits.

Practically, using Hyundai's trip calculator, that should mean you're able to drive as far as Lithgow on the western side of the Blue Mountains and back from Dawes Point, on one charge. Or, you should be able to drive from Dawes Point, New South Wales to Canberra with 7% left in the battery.

Charging

What was the charging experience like on the IONIQ? If you want to charge the car when you're out and about, you have to purchase an optional cable. You'll need a type 2 connector, which is available from Hyundai for $495, including GST as of October 2020. Using a public DC fast-charging station, Hyundai says you can charge to 80% in just 54 minutes. If you use a home or work AC charging station, you can comfortably recharge the battery overnight or during a workday, in 6 hours and 5 minutes.

Plug it into a domestic wall socket, using the emergency charging cable and Hyundai says it'll take 17 hours and 30 minutes to charge to 100%.

Handling

Though the Hyundai IONIQ is not a sports car, most drivers will be expecting it to be comfortable and capable on the roads. And the IONIQ ostensibly ticks both those boxes. In fact, car reviewers decided it was actually the best handling of the entire IONIQ range, which also includes Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants. That's because while all have been Aussie-tuned, the Electric rides on different (and theoretically less compliant) suspension at the back. Engineers went this route to help support the mass of the battery cell at the boot-end.

According to testers, the car soaks up and softens out even the bumpiest of roads with relative ease, so it shouldn't be too jarring a ride.

In the corners, most of the reviewers agreed the IONIQ was surprisingly grippy and eager. That might have something to do with it having sports car credentials, an almost evenly balanced weight distribution. One tester summed it up when they described the car as being plain and nothing exciting, but a little more interesting when you enter Sports mode.

It won't set a driving purist's heart fluttering, but for everyday driving, it is more than up to the job, according to the motoring experts.
Interior and equipment

The first thing you'll notice about the cabin, at least according to several of the car reviewers, is how quiet it is. That's thanks to the electric motor. Although, a common observation with any EV is once the thrumming engine has gone, you start to hear other noises that were always there, only drowned out. For example, you can hear the rubber of the tyre treads gripping the road.

Testers labelled it as a comfy and decently spacious interior. The driver should notice this most as there's no clutch pedal anymore and a slimline transmission tunnel. The seats are reportedly very comfortable. Testers discerned there was plenty of storage room for incidentals. Journalists stated the materials used throughout the interior were of high quality.

It's nice to hear that Hyundai uses raw and recycled materials where possible. The interior door trims are made from a blend of plastic, powdered wood and volcanic stone. This also reduces weight by 20%. Hyundai uses sugar cane in its internal fabrics, up to 20%. Soft-touch materials are made of up to 25% sugar cane.

Even the metallic paint is produced using extracts from soybean oil. Testers also rated the infotainment and driver display favourably, stating they were intuitive and easy to operate.

The only downside was the sloping rear roof does mean taller occupants in the back might be squeezed in there. Some comments were made about the size of the boot also, as it isn't as large as comparably-sized Hyundai models, though it still appears to accept a pram if needed. The capacity measures 357 litres if you fill the boot to the top of the rear seats. If you pack in even more stuff, it should accept up to 462 litres. With the rear seats dropped forwards, you'll expand the carrying capacity to 1,417 litres.

The IONIQ has impressive specifications, appearing to be well designed and apportioned internally for everyday use.

Verdict

While Tesla is probably the most famous EV car maker, others are out there, quietly making some superb battery-powered models. The IONIQ Electric was well-received by car reviewers, with very few and relatively minor criticisms. The IONIQ is one of the most affordable electric vehicles on sale and also sounds as though it is one of the more practical, everyday drivers.

Make sure you take a few moments to check car loans to see how much you could save buying an IONIQ Electric. It could be hundreds of dollars over the course of a loan agreement. Also, you should check our car insurance comparisons to save even more when you're covering your electric Hyundai.
