2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid: Choosing the Right Trim

The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid returns unchanged.

Although it isn’t the most compelling entry in the hybrid-car arena, the Ioniq Hybrid offers solid value, excellent fuel economy, and that terrific 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

To generate power, the Ioniq Hybrid draws on a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine in league with a 32kW electric motor. This collaboration generates a combined 139 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque.

A 6-speed automatic transmission sends the powertrain’s output to the front wheels.

The government-estimated fuel economy is rated up to an impressive 58 miles per gallon in the city, 60 mpg on the highway, and 59 mpg in combined driving.

Hyundai offers the Ioniq Hybrid in Blue, SE, SEL, and Limited grades.

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue (starting at $23,600)

Despite the Blue grade being the entry-level trim, Hyundai included a few sought-after convenience items and driver aids.

The standard content includes 15-inch alloy wheels, active grille shutters, auto on-off headlights, keyless entry with push-button start, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Other features included in the base price are a 6-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a 60/40 split-folding backseat.

Included in the infotainment system are an 8-inch touchscreen, hands-free Bluetooth, USB, a 6-speaker audio system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Among the standard driver aids are forward-collision warning with emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, and high-beam assist.

You can add a few dealer-installed accessories, but the Ioniq Hybrid doesn’t offer any options for any of its trim levels.

Adding the $1,005 destination fee to the Blue’s base price brings the total to $24,605. Financing that amount with no money down for 60 months at 3% interest works out to a $442 monthly payment. Find a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue for sale

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue Includes:

  • Auto on-off headlights – Using photosensors, the system turns on the headlights (and taillights) when it senses daylight fading. It turns them off when daylight reappears.
  • Dual-zone auto climate control – Allows setting separate temperatures for the left and right regions of the cabin. It then automatically maintains those temperatures.
  • High-beam assist – A forward-pointed camera monitors what’s ahead. The default when engaged is the high beams are on. When it senses approaching headlights or taillights, it automatically disengages the high beams.

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SE (starting at $25,550)

Building on the Blue grade’s standard content, the SE adds regenerative braking, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and LED daytime running lights.

Other standard features include integrated turn-signal indicators on the outboard mirrors, heated outboard mirrors, a 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Among the rest of the standard gear are the Blue Link connected car service, HD
Radio, satellite-radio capability, a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

If we were buying the Ioniq Hybrid, we’d pick the SE for its combination of price and content.

Adding the $1,005 destination fee to the SE’s base price totals $26,555. With no money down, financing that amount for 60 months at 3% interest works out to $477 per month. Find a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SE for sale

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SE Includes:

  • Regenerative braking – Recovers some kinetic energy from braking before it turns into heat, converting it to electricity. It then sends the converted electricity to resupply the hybrid battery.
  • Blue Link – Interfaces your Hyundai with your smartphone. It can lock or unlock the doors, remote start the car, locate the car, and much more.
  • Added driver aids – Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SEL (starting at $28,800)

To the SE’s standard fare, the SEL adds 17-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting (headlights and taillights), power sunroof, wireless device charging, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Other SEL upgrades include improved forward-collision warning with cyclist detection, lane-following assist, and adaptive cruise control.

Adding the $1,005 destination fee to the SEL’s base price brings the total to $29,805. Financing that amount with no money down for 60 months with 3% down works out to a monthly payment of $536. Find a 2022 Hyundai Ioniq SEL for sale

  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror – Photosensors automatically dim the inside rearview mirror when it senses headlights approaching from the rear.
  • Adaptive cruise control – Featuring stop and go, it automatically maintains the preset speed, as well as a safe distance from the traffic in front.

2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Limited (starting at $31,600)

Sitting at the top of the Ioniq Hybrid trim-level range is the Limited. In addition to the SEL’s standard content, the Limited provides power-folding outboard mirrors with puddle lights and leather seating.
