Overview
The hybrid segment is teeming with cars that are either poorly designed (and downright unappealing), or gimmicky versions of already-popular models turned hybrid for the sake of keeping up with the trends. However, the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid is here to stand out, with its sleek design and flexible powertrain. Drivers will enjoy the latest technology and safety features, along with a battery so reliable, Hyundai has guaranteed it with a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty.*

The driver who wants to reduce their carbon footprint without waiting a long time for recharging or fretting over maintenance. The driver who enjoys getting in their car without a single worry will appreciate how easy the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid is to own. Not only does the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid allow you to get amazing fuel economy from the hyper-efficient powertrain, but every new 2020 Hyundai IONIQ also gets Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first.** This makes the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid one of the easiest cars to own, drive, and enjoy.
Drive and Handling
All three trim levels of the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid feature the same 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine produces up to 104 horsepower and 109 pound-feet of torque. That doesn't sound too impressive, but once it's combined with the 60-horsepower electric motor you get an additional boost in power and throttle response. The combined system produces up to 139 horsepower, which is more than enough to power your day. Power is sent to the front wheels via the 6-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. With Drive Mode Select, you can tailor the economy and performance of the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid to your driving style and efficiency needs. Technology like Vehicle Stability Management, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and Brake Assist, and Electronic Brake-force Distribution, you can feel comfortable and confident on the road, no matter what's thrown at you.
If you’re concerned about charging, Hyundai has made it simple. With standard 110v/120v outlets, you can charge the IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid in less than nine hours, and with a 240v charger, you can do the same in less than two and a half hours. With standard regenerative braking, the IONIC can recover some of the power by converting the mechanical energy into electricity for later use. With Blue Link® you can schedule charging to always maintain the battery level and save money by charging during off-peak hours.
Key Features
Bluelink®
The IONIQ has BlueLink® available and buyers even get a free subscription for three years after buying their car. Through BlueLink® you can have control of your vehicle even when you’re not in it. If you can’t remember if you locked your car or not, you can just open the app out and check, no matter how far away you are. Through this app, you can lock or unlock your car from anywhere. You’ll also be able to start the engine with climate control already set, so you can warm it up or cool it down before you even get in your vehicle. You can access Bluelink® through your car, smartphone, smartwatch, Amazon Echo, or Google Home.
Safety
The IONIQ Plug-in Hybrid is the perfect car for driving around the city, and no daily driver is complete without a full array of safety features. With standard features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, High Beam Assist, and a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines, you can be sure that even at the lowest trim level, Hyundai has your back. Additional features are available and can further enhance your safety on the road, which is especially important when drivers are less attentive than ever. When you add Highway Drive Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning, and front and rear Parking Distance Warnings you know you get 360 degrees of protection, whether you're on a road trip or cruising around town.
Alternative Options
For those who want more performance but still love the hatchback design, take a look at the sporty Veloster. With up to 250 horsepower and nimble suspension, every drive is fueled by adrenaline. If your family craves a little more space, the new Hyundai Venue is a great way to still save on fuel with the amazing value and design you can only get from Hyundai.
