TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Ford C-Max Hybrid and C-Max Energi are still pleasant all-rounders among hybrids, but they face much tougher competition this year from the Prius lineup.

The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq is a small hatchback that comes as a hybrid, a plug-in hybrid, or an all-electric model; it's an important new player in the world of high-efficiency cars.

TCC Likes

Cabin a cut abovve
Quiet, smooth on the road
Spacious and adaptable

TCC Dislikes

No AWD option
Lines thick, bulbous from some angles

Styling bland to some
Rear-seat head room tight
Battery hurts Electric's cargo space
