2019 Hyundai Ioniq offers hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full electric versions
What it is: The Ioniq is Hyundai’s fuel-sipping compact car that is only offered in a five-door hatchback form. As mentioned in the headline, Hyundai sells three variants. The hybrid and electric are self-explanatory, but a plug-in hybrid is a car that can drive on electricity only for a short range and then operates a gas engine for longer differences. I tested the hybrid version, which has the best combined MPG of any car at a combined 58 MPG. This is only on the Blue trim which sacrifices niceties like larger wheels for more aerodynamic and efficient 15-inch alloy wheels.
