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.

The 2017 Toyota Prius closes the gap between "driving a hybrid" and "driving a normal car," even though it still looks like nothing else on the road.

TCC Likes

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

50 mpg in basically every circumstance
Quiet, more refined ride
Better interior materials

TCC Dislikes

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

That rear end
Scratch-magent white console
Did we mention the rear end?
