Hyundai IONIQ EV 2019 Video Review

The Hyundai IONIQ is the cheapest battery electric vehicle currently on-sale in Australia

The Hyundai Ioniq may come to be regarded as a pivotal automotive new model launch in Australia. Then again, it may not. With the IONIQ Hyundai jumps from zero to hero in the green automotive segment in Australia, but considering how few EVs are sold here, the jury’s out on whether anyone will pay attention.

The Hyundai IONIQ should certainly at least get people thinking about EVs. It is the cheapest electric vehicle currently on sale in Australia, has the backing of one of the biggest-selling brands in the country and in terms of its driving is extraordinary only in the sense of how normal it feels. Even so, if the BEV commitment is too much for you, there is also a plug-in hybrid Hyundai IONIQ and a hybrid Hyundai IONIQ.

The plug-in is the cheapest you can buy in Australia today, the hybrid is among the cheapest and undercuts its direct rival, the Toyota Prius.
