The Hyundai Ioniq is a practical 5-door family hatchback, which comes with a diverse range of electric engine options – you can choose to lease it as either a petrol-electric hybrid, a plug-in hybrid or as a fully electric vehicle (EV).
Despite the influx of viable electric cars on the market, it’s still a sensible, popular and good-value leasing pick.
Choice of 3 electrified powertrains.
Large and practical 5-door bodystyle.
Decent amount of standard kit.
As it’s a relatively large 5-door hatchback, the Ioniq is a versatile and practical car to lease regardless of whether you go for the Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid or Electric version.
The Hybrid has the most boot space of the trio, at 443 litres, while the Electric offers 357 and the Plug-In Hybrid 341, due to the last 2 having to accommodate battery packs. Away from the boot, there are plenty of door bins and other cubbyholes to stash keys, phones and other paraphernalia around the cabin.
All 3 versions of the Ioniq are efficient and affordable to run, relatively speaking, but the Electric is king when it comes down to black-and-white, pennies-per-mile calculations. The Plug-In Hybrid can be almost as cheap to run if you mostly do short journeys, saving the petrol engine as a back-up for longer jaunts.
In both cases, however, that depends on being able to charge at home. So if you don’t have the off-street parking necessary to get a wallbox charging unit installed, you may find leasing an Ioniq Hybrid – which works to get the most out of every drop of petrol used without having to be plugged in – actually makes the most sense.
In Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid form, the Ioniq’s main rival is the similar looking Toyota Prius. The Toyota has perhaps more striking styling, but there’s little to choose between the 2 when it comes to running costs or practicality, so it may come down to what the best lease deal you can get is.
The Ioniq Electric, meanwhile, is a rival for the likes of the Citroen E-C4, Nissan Leaf and Volkswagen ID.3. It’s no longer the most up-to-date or longest-range electric car you can buy at this price point, but still more than adequate if you want 1 for generally shorter trips.
Yes, and especially in the Electric where there are far fewer moving parts to go wrong compared to a petrol- or diesel-engined car. All Ioniqs get a very reassuring 5-year/100,000-mile warranty as standard.
This depends on the engine you choose. The Plug-In Hybrid has the least space (341 litres), while the Electric manages 357 litres and the Hybrid 443.
Very practical. It has a large boot with a useful hatchback opening for getting large items in. Plus there’s space for 4 adults to travel in comfort or you can pop the rear seats down flat for even more luggage capacity.
If you’re going to lease a Hyundai Ioniq Electric or Plug-In Hybrid, it’s best to get a home charging point installed, as they’ll be cheapest to run if you use domestic electricity to top them up. The Hybrid, however, doesn’t need plugging in.
