The traction battery for the Ioniq Hybrid is a 240 V, 1.56{{nbsp}}kWh lithium-ion polymer battery which is positioned beneath the rear passenger seats. Accessories and instrumentation are powered by a smaller 12 V battery, also housed under the rear seats. The 12 V accessory battery also uses lithium-ion chemistry, unlike typical hybrid and internal combustion automobiles which typically use a lead-acid accessory battery.

With a higher usage of lightweight components and a more compact build, the cargo screen cover is about 25% lighter than the types used in other Hyundai models.

The hybrid version competes with, and surpasses in fuel economy, the previous mileage leader in the Toyota Prius. Hyundai expects the model with 15-inch wheels to obtain an EPA rated combined fuel economy between {{cvt|57|mpgUS}} and {{cvt|58|mpgUS}}, just ahead of the 2016 Toyota Prius at {{cvt|56|mpgUS}}.{{cite news| url=http://www.hybridcars.com/hyundai-ioniq-hybrid-projected-to-achieve-57-or-58-mpg/|title=Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Projected To Achieve 57 or 58 mpg |first=Jeff |last=Cobb|work=HybridCars.com|date=2016-03-23|access-date=2016-03-24|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-04-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160403065733/http://www.hybridcars.com/hyundai-ioniq-hybrid-projected-to-achieve-57-or-58-mpg/}} The Ioniq is also available with a 17-inch alloy rim option. Trims that include the alloy rims produce approximately 5{{nbsp}}MPG lower overall fuel economy on the highway.

Many parked Ioniq vehicles appear in the early scenes of the 2018 film Johnny English Strikes Again, starring Rowan Atkinson.

The Hyundai Ioniq Electric is a limited-production all-electric version of the Ioniq that is sold only in select countries and US states. It features a 28{{nbsp}}kWh lithium-ion polymer battery that delivers an EPA-rated range of {{cvt|124|mi}}. The car was refreshed for the 2020 model year with a new interior, larger battery, and increased range and traction motor output.

Initially, the Ioniq Electric was available in the United States in California only. As of 2019, Hyundai USA sells the Ioniq Electric only in select states.{{which|date=March 2020}}{{cite web|title=2019 Ioniq Electric|url=https://www.hyundaiusa.com/ioniq-electric/index.aspx|publisher=Hyundai USA|access-date=2019-10-12}} It is sold by Hyundai in other countries as well, which {{asof|2018|12|lc=y}} included Canada,{{cite web |url=https://www.hyundaicanada.com/en/showroom/2019/ioniq-electric |title=Ioniq Electric |author= |publisher=Hyundai Canada |access-date=2019-06-04|url-status=dead|archive-date=2018-11-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181108065728/https://www.hyundaicanada.com/en/showroom/2019/ioniq-electric}} Norway,{{cite web |url=https://www.hyundai.no/modeller/ioniq-electric/ |title=Ioniq Electric |author= |publisher=Hyundai Norway |access-date=2018-12-23|url-status=dead|archive-date=2018-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224023726/https://www.hyundai.no/modeller/ioniq-electric/|language=no}} Netherlands, Portugal{{citation needed|date=March 2020}} and Switzerland.{{cite web |url=https://www.hyundai.ch/de/model/ioniq-electric.html |title=Ioniq Electric |author= |publisher=Hyundai Switzerland |access-date=2018-12-23|url-status=dead|language=de|archive-date=2016-10-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026094812/https://www.hyundai.ch/de/model/ioniq-electric.html}} The car was discontinued in the US market for the 2022 model year.{{cite web|url=https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/models/hyundai-ioniq-2022-ioniq_hybrid|title=2022 IONIQ Hybrid - Carry-over|date=2022|publisher=Hyundai|access-date=2022-08-10}}

The Ioniq Electric is bundled with the portable "In-Cable Control Box" (ICCB), an electric vehicle supply equipment that allows drivers to charge their Ioniq using a conventional household outlet, but this is recommended only for use in emergencies in countries with 120{{nbsp}}V AC outlets.{{cite web|url=https://arstechnica.com/cars/2017/01/hyundai-ioniq-and-kia-niro-review-korean-tanks-parked-on-japans-lawn/|title=Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Niro review: Korean tanks parked on Japan's lawn |author=Taylor, Alun |work=Ars Technica |date=4 January 2017}} In most countries with 220{{ndash}}240{{nbsp}}V AC household outlets, 100% range can be added with an overnight charge.{{cite web|url=https://pod-point.com/landing-pages/hyundai-ioniq-charging|title=Hyundai IONIQ Electric Charger – Pod Point}} The charging plug of the car is located in a position where fuel fillers are normally located; the vehicle is equipped with a CCS Combo 1 inlet, accepting charging rates at up to 100 kW at a DC fast charging station, although the 38kwh version would only accept a 50kw ‘fast’ charge.{{cite news |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15088637/2017-hyundai-ioniq-electric-test-review/ |title=Tested: 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Electric |author=Fink, Greg |date=August 15, 2017 |work=Car and Driver |access-date=27 July 2022}}

The electric traction motor has a rated output of {{cvt|118|hp}} and {{cvt|215|lbft}}. Power output was increased to {{cvt|134|hp}} with the 2020 refresh; peak torque increased modestly to {{cvt|218|lbft}}.

The Ioniq features paddle shifters to allow drivers to choose from one of four levels of regenerative braking. Single-pedal control is not possible: the driver must use the brake pedal to come to a complete stop, even at maximum regeneration. There are three driving modes (Eco / Normal / Sport) which affect throttle tuning; in addition, Eco decreases the output of the climate control system. For the 2020 model year, holding the regeneration paddle enabled maximum regeneration and one-pedal driving.

The rear suspension was switched to a torsion beam instead of the multilink setup used on the Ioniq Hybrid to accommodate the larger traction battery, which is carried under the rear seat.
