TCC’s Bottom Line

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.

Eclipsed by the Chevrolet Bolt EV's 200-mile-plus range, the Nissan Leaf is best enjoyed with the substantial discounts dealers are eager to offer.

TCC Likes

Hybrid, electric, plug-in lineup
Approachable design
Beats Prius in fuel economy

Big discounts easy to find
Distinctively designed
Silent operation

TCC Dislikes

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

Poor safety scores
Range falls notably in cold weather
Chevrolet Bolt EV is only slightly pricier but offers far better range
