2021 Hyundai Ioniq vs 2022 Hyundai Ioniq
Two adjacent model years of the Hyundai Ioniq, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalized by how many were sold.
Side by side: no recorded recall campaigns for either, and no recorded owner complaints for either. 2022 Ioniq carries more NHTSA investigations (1 vs 0). Neither has NHTSA crash ratings, and both have EPA fuel-economy data.
| Metric | 2021 Hyundai Ioniq | 2022 Hyundai Ioniq |
|---|---|---|
| Recall campaigns | 0 | 0 |
| Owner complaints | 0 | 0 |
| NHTSA investigations | 0 | 1 |
| NHTSA crash rating | Not rated | Not rated |
| EPA fuel economy | Available | Available |
Where these two actually differ
Both carry 0 recall campaigns, so recall history does not separate them. A campaign can still cover very different defects on each vehicle — read both records before treating the tie as equivalence.
Owner complaints are level at 0 each.
EPA fuel-economy figures exist for both, so running costs can be compared on the individual reports.
Counts are raw NHTSA and EPA totals for each model year. They are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle were sold, so a high-volume model will tend to show more of everything — a larger complaint count is not by itself evidence of a worse car. Use the per-vehicle reports for the underlying records.
How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalized by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
