Fuel Efficiency and Power
The biggest aspect of hybrids and electric vehicles is how they perform with fuel efficiency or the electric equivalent of fuel.

Hyundai Ioniq
The Ioniq plug-in hybrid is powered by a gas inline-4 1.6L engine producing 139 horsepower paired with an electric motor that makes 43 horsepower. The combination of using the electric battery motor to run errands around town and commute to work and the gas engine for longer drives make the Ioniq extremely versatile. It gets up to 29-mile All-Electric Range and up to an EPA-estimated 52 MPG* combined in hybrid mode for a combined maximum range of 620 miles. Plus, the battery warranty is guaranteed to last for ten years or 150,000 miles. The Ioniq Blue model is the most fuel-efficient hybrid on the market.

Chevy Bolt
The Chevy Bolt is an all-electric vehicle with a decent low-end torque when the light turns green. However, response leaves some to desire when it comes to getting up to highway speeds. It rides smoothly as its regenerative braking system works when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. It takes about 10 hours to fully charge using a 240-volt outlet. It has an EPA range of about 259 miles on a full charge, making it a formidable electric vehicle. It achieves an average of 102 MPGe.

    Interior Comfort
    Long charges and great fuel efficiency don’t matter if the ride isn’t comfortable. How do these two vehicles stand up inside the cabin? And how much cargo space do they have?

    Hyundai Ioniq
    Even at the base trim level, the Ioniq is roomy and comfortable. Staying with the economic and green-leaning theme, the interior is sourced from sustainable materials, such as composites made of volcanic rock and sugar cane. There are also plenty of spaces for luggage and passengers, allowing for comfortable long rides. There is a large cargo hold due to it being a hybrid as the battery doesn't take up as much space as other all-electric vehicles. There are plenty of upgrades as well.

    Chevy Bolt
    The Bolt is spacious and practical for an electric vehicle. However, the plastic interior feels a bit of a letdown compared to its expensive price point. Despite the large battery taking up some cargo space, it has enough space to comfortably seat four adults with room for five. It’s comparable in size to an average small crossover. You can feel comfortable on a short road trip or throwing plenty of luggage in the back on your way to the airport.

      Infotainment and Fun Factor
      Modern technology has upgraded how we drive and the amount of connectivity we have on our commutes. Both vehicles take advantage of their electric motors to provide you with plenty of creature comforts inside.

      Hyundai Ioniq
      Where other manufacturers may skimp on infotainment, even the base model comes standard with an 8.0-inch infotainment screen that includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, USB ports, and more. The higher trims upgrade to a massive 10.3.-inch touchscreen that commands the dashboard. Hyundai has developed an intuitive touchscreen experience that allows you to change settings and access information without having to navigate multiple menus while you drive. You also get paddle shifters, sport mode, blind-spot collision warning, lane-keeping assist, and many other driver assistance programs.

      Chevy Bolt
      This EV was designed with connectivity and ease of operation. There are plenty of useful compartments for phones and other smart devices, as well as a large central infotainment screen. Navigation is not available. However, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. The infotainment screen also provides you with plenty of information about your vehicle, such as remaining range, battery-energy usage, and more.
