TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Ford C-Max Hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid are comfortable and spacious, but their fuel economy is lower than virtually all hybrid competitors.

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

TCC Likes

Smooth and quiet on the road
Spacious, flexible, holds four adults
Cabin still feels premium

Variety of hybrid and electric choices

Intuitive controls

TCC Dislikes

Bulbous, thick styling
No all-wheel drive offered
Compromised load space

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