KBB’s choice for best new model also takes the title of Best EV, period, and why not. Although, there’s pretty stiff competition in this wide-open category, not least from the Ioniq’s close cousin the Kia EV6.

What KBB liked:

  •  Inventive exterior design, that works
  •  Reasonable pricing
  •  Reasonable range
  •  Well-equipped
