Which Hyundai Electric Vehicle is Right for Me?
As one of the few brands that can currently boast about having more than one electric vehicle in our lineup, our dealership has more to offer than most when it comes to finding the right EV for your lifestyle. Both the Hyundai Kona Electric and Hyundai Ioniq Electric are unique in their size and overall driving experience, so it’s important to know which one is the right fit.
The Hyundai Kona is a compact crossover that features spacious seating for five and 25 cubic feet of cargo area to help you store your stuff. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Ioniq features a lower, hatchback profile that offers more responsive handling and 23 cubic feet of cargo space to work with. If you’re looking for range though, the Hyundai Kona electric is the model you want, as it offers over 250 miles of range versus just 170 miles for the Ioniq.
Which Hyundai Models are Available as Hybrids?
There are three Hyundai models available with hybrid variants, all of which are in the sedan or hatchback category. New for 2021, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid goes on sale later this year and will be the first time that the Elantra has been fitted with a hybrid drive system. It is slated to feature a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 139 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, while a 35kW electric motor partners with it to help you achieve over 50 mpg, even in the city.
If you don’t want to wait for the end of the year, the 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is already available at our Birmingham dealership. This luxurious mid-size sedan features a solar roof that can incrementally add power to the batteries, increasing range by two miles to help you get to that next gas station when you’re really pushing it. Combined output for the electric and combustion engines is 192 horsepower, and you’ll achieve up to 50 mpg in the city and 54 mpg on the highway thanks to the efficient hybrid system and a streamlined design that reduces drag at high speeds.
Finally, the Hyundai Ioniq is available as both a hybrid and plug-in hybrid model depending on your needs as a driver. The plug-in hybrid technology offers up to 29 miles of all-electric range, perfect for those shorter daily commutes or quick runs across town to grab some groceries before dinner. And when you need to go further, hybrid mode combines the electric motor with a combustion engine to help improe range and give you up to 52 mpg. Meanwhile, the standard Hyundai Ioniq gives you 139 total horsepower but an impressive 59 mpg on the highway, making it the perfect choice for those who frequently take long road trips or have an extended daily commute.
