TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Fiat 500L is a tall-riding family hatchback that struggles with style and comfort in the name of affordability.

The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is an affordable hybrid or plug-in hybrid that trades on its affordability rather than luxury.

The 2019 Kia Soul splits its priorities three ways: sporty at the top end, safety in the middle, bargain-priced at the bottom end.

TCC Likes

Good outward vision
Low price
Seating for four adults

Variety of hybrid and electric choices
Normal, usable design
Intuitive controls

Pizazz, still intact
Simple, effective infotainment
Soul Exclaim’s turbo-4 power

TCC Dislikes

Not very attractive
Not particularly fun to drive
Lacks active safety tech

Cramped seating space
Plug-in range not as good as some competitors
Normal design may bore some

Noisy on the road
Hunting automatic
Gas mileage is just average
