Best EV in our budget arrange available in the US right now
It's comfortable, fun to and relaxing to drive, big enough to take several people and gear on a long trip, but small enough to navigate in the city. On family trips, it charges in 15 minutes. You drive up to your charging stop, plug in, go get a snack and the restroom and you're ready to go when you return to your car. I have some suggestions to improve it, but they are minor. The adaptive cruise control and lane keep are nice to have, but a bit jerky. I've test driven a 2026 and it's much smoother. The lack of a rear windshield wiper is puzzling. Why the decision to leave it out? Too many controls are hidden in the menus of the infotainment system instead of available as physical buttons or dials. The balance between the two could be much improved. Operating the infotainment requires too many extra button pushes to confirm things, which is annoying. The parking collision warnings are a bit too aggressive. The turning radius is large making it more difficult to park and maneuver than seems necessary. But the big picture is that it's an affordable (for us) family car that is well-engineered, energy efficient, and works for everyday commuting and errands as well as long trips. Now that EV tax credits are gone, I appreciate that Hyundai is continuing to offer large EV discounts on their new Ioniqs. That is keeping it affordable.
