Hyundai released the Ioniq in 2016 to compete against the Toyota Prius. However, Hyundai built the car to house a mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric configuration. The hybrid configuration was the same used in the Kia Niro, so there was no question about the reliability of the setup. However, before the Ioniq could reach a second generation, Hyundai discontinued the lineup in 2022. The nameplate is now used exclusively for cars in their fully electric lineup, including the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6.
