For years rivals have tried to beat the Toyota Prius, look at the Honda Insight and Ford C-Max, unfortunately the Insight is gone and does anyone even know the C-Max exists? Now it’s Hyundai’s turn. The Hyundai Ioniq may look like a Prius, but Hyundai has leap frogged the Prius by offering three versions: a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and a fully electric version of the Ioniq. For now, lets start with the 2017 Ioniq Hybrid, which will be the cheapest of the three and the most direct rival to the popular Prius. Here are the five things you need to know:
3The Ioniq’s interior is spacious and packed with features
The Ioniq’s five door hatchback layout not only provides a nice 26.5 cubic feet of cargo space, but there’s ample head and legroom in both the front and rear seats. The interior is covered in soft-touch materials and the Ioniq’s overall quality feels a bit better than some other rivals, including the Prius. The Ioniq’s interior also is also quiet and comfortable, plus Hyundai packed the Ioniq with a long list of features, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
The only negative with the interior is the split rear window, which makes it a bit hard to see out of the rear.
