Used Hyundai IONIQ for sale

All versions of the Hyundai Ioniq get some of the latest safety features that you’d expect, such as lane-keep assistance, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) and hill start assist to make those incline starts a little easier. Euro NCAP awarded the Ioniq five stars when it was crash tested back in 2016, too. There’s a broad range of airbags dotted throughout the cabin, so everyone should be kept as secure as can be.

The Ioniq is available with a broad range of powertrain options, with hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric models all there to choose from. It means that there’s an Ioniq for all types of drivers. For instance, if you’re not able to access home charging or reliably low-cost top-ups, then the standard hybrid could be ideal. Likewise, if you can charge at home but often do longer journeys, then the plug-in hybrid electric range of 30 miles but petrol engine safety net could be the best option. The electric Ioniq, meanwhile, has a claimed range of 174 miles which is under modern equivalents but still very usable.

Hyundai equipped the Ioniq well on all models, with a handy rear parking camera included on all cars to keep parking easy. The main infotainment screen on the Ioniq is also clear to use and easy to operate and you even get an additional display ahead of the driver where you’d usually find the traditional instruments. Depending on specification, you can also get many luxuries that you might not expect to find on a car of this size, such as heated and ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel.

Standard hybrid cars should be able to return around 60mpg, making them very fuel efficient. Keep the plug-in hybrid regularly charged and it’ll be able to exceed this, too, while its 30-mile range means that you could do many journeys without using any fuel at all. If you’re able to access cheap home charging then the electric version will be cheaper to run than either hybrids, but this does depend on your situation.

The Ioniq is popular with taxi drivers, so we’d check for cars with very high mileage or signs of a busy life. Bumpers and alloys are prone to damage and while the interior’s plastics are hard-wearing, they can get scratched easily and end up looking tired. If you’re after a more in-depth look at any car you’re considering, then an AA Vehicle Inspection can help via a detailed report compiled by a trained engineer.

Ioniqs do tend to be quite reliable, with only a handful of owners reporting electric gremlins with interior components. Make sure you give all major buttons and controls a press to make sure everything is working as it should. It’s worth pointing out that the batteries on electric models are covered by an impressive eight-year warranty, too. Again, an AA Vehicle Inspection can help to answer any questions you might have while spotting potential issues that you may not have seen.

The Hyundai Ioniq has a 1.6-litre petrol engine in hybrid and plug-in hybrid models after which there’s the electric version with a single motor.
