Estimated prices by model year, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Hyundai IONIQ Electric is a 5-seat liftback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2019 to 2022, when it cost £32,050 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 9.7 seconds, slower than 89% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 155 miles (250 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and the shortest of 38 liftbacks.
It uses around 4.1 mi/kWh (153 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 38.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 32 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 143 miles (230 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Second-hand, a 2019 example is estimated at £6,400–£8,800 and a 2022 one at £10,400–£12,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2019 car should still manage about 135 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
