Nice to see you review a base model. I’m always curious how the base models look but never get to see because almost all of the reviewers just review the top model. Will you be reviewing the Ev version soon?
Hybrids are the better alternative to those costly electric cars. You have the availability of the existing gas stations so you don’t get range anxiety and you can feel good about protecting the environment. It looks much better than the hideous Prius but I’ll go with the Honda Insight.
You are such a good auto reporter. All of your videos are top notch. Its just too bad that automakers don't make a wide variety of vehicles to talk about anymore.
Had an opportunity to drive one as my rental car trip, definitely recommend it for a personal commuter car. Saved a ton of gas for my trip and enjoyed all the options it offered. Used cruise control for most of the trip and shockingly the car seemed to be driving itself. Still prefer having more control while driving but the assist really helped and made the experience even better.
@@kubovu any info on how the system works? I am really interested in the technical part, how do they mate the gasoline engine and the electric motor to the transmission
the air vents under the grill, on either side of the logo, are open in e mode to keep the engine cool - they close automatically on the highway for aerodynamic efficiency
I've put over 1200 miles on mine and totaling 63.5 mpg for the life of the vehicle. I routinely get 70+ mpg for my daily 40 mile trip to and from work.
@@MikeGABITCH.Whoisallbark I can't remember ... traded this in for a Maverick Hybrid, which, according to the computer, has gotten me 49 mpg over the life of 4800 miles driving 40-50 mph to and from work and chores.
I have a 2018 gas/hybrid Ioniq; not a powerful or fun car to drive, but in electric blue it's beautiful and I consistently get 60+ mpg. Great economy car.
we LOVE our IONIQ! I have lots of vids on youtube about road life with ours, we even camp in it! best mpg so far in real life with ours is 67 mpg! fun car!
As soon as I saw the video I had to correct you on the title. I believe it’s spelled ioniq with a Q not a C. Awesome car, my friend has an ultimate model (Canada)
@@dreammusicvancouver have you had any issues with the electronic components? I'm considering getting a 2020 blue and read some reviews saying there's issues with electronics
There’s a red limited version that was reviewed by a guy from Denmark on TH-cam. I bought the limited version a few days ago and the tech is amazing. Coming from a BMW 3 series the interior fit/quality is as good or better.
The video title led me to believe this would be a comparison between the Ioniq and the Prius, but there was surprisingly little mention of the Prius in the video at all.
Previous experience with the dual clutch (2016 Veloster), as well as plenty of step-automatics, I've actually grown very accustom to Kia's "iVT." I've had CVT's too, namely from Nissan, which were terrible, but I have to rate the iVT, used in my 2020 Forte GT-Line, as one of my favorite transmissions, next to my 2016 Charger's 8-speed auto.
Just got loaded 2020 ioniq plugin with my gf - so much tech and it handles flat (I daily drive a Mazda 3 on coilovers, upgraded sway/strut bars and an mr2 turbo with almost every suspension mod that I track so I have a lot of experience in this area). Coming from an older 3 series and the interior quality is as good. Compared to the Prius it has much better acceleration (dual clutch transmission), more space inside and trunk wise, and best of all isn’t ugly like the Prius. The warranties are literally twice as long as the Prius also. The 360 degree sensors help a ton in traffic and parking. The infotainment is easy to use and also android auto. I’ve only owned Mazda’s and Toyotas (BMW is gfs) my entire life but will be buying a genesis or Hyundai or Kia as my next car because of how good this car is.
@@ft9kop not on the 2020 unfortunately. There's a lot of aftermarket companies that replace batteries other hybrids, hopefully they come out for this car by the time the warranty expires.
@@ft9kop That was only for the 2017 model year, probably as a customer confidence booster because it was the first year. I think the current battery warranty is 10 years/100,000 miles, which is on par with a Prius, if I'm not mistaken.
Way better looking then the old one. Great review as always. Crap that thing gets insane mileage. With the 11.9 gallon tank this will go more then 600 miles on a tank. Impressive. I could drive to California from Albuquerque and only have to fill up once. Crazy. Ha ha at 14:35 you see the domestic Ford Focus driving on its 4th dual clutch transmission.
Great job Joe and big guns, it's a great price point! Please review the higher trims. Thx again, thanking more into buying one of these but will have to drive the Toyota Prius prime and Honda accord Hybrid
5:17 May want to avoid calling it an automatic transmission. There is no fluid torque converter, etc. It's a dual-clutch transmission. A very different animal.
I'm very impressed. Usually hybrids look awful and drive even worse. Only serious zonk from me is that horizontal split in the back. Awful design that shouldn't be around in the 2020s!
Raiti's Rides I should elaborate on that I live in a town that is 50% retirement communities and the other half regular residences I live literally one city block from the first retirement community and just going out of my neighborhood I run into many old farts who can’t drive to save their life it really gets frustrating when you’re driving a high horsepower car and you can’t really drive it anywhere that’s the way it is here in toms River.Did I mention that I’m 64 years old? And I’m calling the other people farts LOL!
Great review Joe....as always. I know you may have driven the Kia Niro hybrid as well. Which on did you like better, does one ride better than the other or is one quieter? Thanks!
I've had my 2020 Ioniq for a year and a half now, and I've had nothing but problems with the electronics. My infotainment system and backup camera have each been replaced twice already (the front proximity sensors also failed), and it's going in for service for another problem with the infotainment system in a couple of weeks. It's been in the shop half a dozen times or so and Hyundai is supposed to let me know this week about buying it back. I'm considering getting a hybrid SUV and thought about looking at the Santa Fe, but I'm very reluctant to consider another Hyundai. I may consider the Honda CR-V, but I'll probably just go back to Toyota. #venza
Bought this yesterday after wathcing few reviews prius is too expensive but some how better mpg hyundai hybrid is cheaper lol. 😂😂 and fact that im korean have to go for hyundai next one ionq5 N!
DO NOT BUY ONE WITH THE GREY INTERIOR. I drove 4 hours to buy one, and the reflection of the light grey dash on the windshield made it look like the dash was dusty/dirty or you were driving through a dust cloud. It was like there were three swaths of dirt on the windshield due to the way the three dash sections were reflecting. I couldn’t see well, was distracted, and didn’t feel safe. I didn’t buy it and will look for one with the black interior (I drove a lower trim with the black interior and it was fine).
@@jamievidd775 so what if it’s slower I won’t see you using 120 horsepower any time.Hyundai resell value is the worst if you buy a Prius at least you know someone will buy it
I would get one, but either a plug in or a full electric. The ability to drive either in the city or down to town and shop or come home without turning on the gas motor is great. The phev is for someone who does a lot of road trips, the ev is for people who don't. Hybrids at the moment are really only worth where they don't exist, large suvs and trucks. The chevy tahoe hybrid a while ago getting 20/20/20 mpg on a 6.0 V8 was phenomenal and GM hasn't been able to match it since. Toyota and ford are really the only two electrifying mainstream large vehicles.
@@salatzke the full ev is only available in certain states the phev is pretty much everywhere. I think it has to do with battery supply so they can only supply full EVs to areas that actually want them
They’re not as reliable as you think. It has bad electrical problems that have caused serious accidents. www.latimes.com/local/california/la-fi-toyota-prius-investigation-20180423-story.html “The problem, in which overheating causes damage to key electrical parts and a resulting loss of power that can leave motorists stranded, has been dogging Toyota for about seven years. But the safety issue is now growing in scope. A woman driving a Prius in Florida last year was seriously injured when she lost power on a busy four-lane highway and was rear-ended at about 55 mph. Another Prius crash on an Orange County freeway that caused injuries was reported to federal safety regulators in 2016, according to federal records.”
My all wheel drive Prius gives me 60+ mpg round town .And there us no cat in Prius. It hasa electric motors that electronically simulates variable speed. It drives more like the model 3 than a cat. Because it's the same technology. That's why I bought my model 3.
Actually Ioniq came out first. It was released on Jan 2019 in Korea then the Corolla came out on march 2019. But I doubt any of them had time to copy from one another within tht short gap
Two questions: 1. The first gen got knocked for the headlights, receiving acceptable, marginal, or poor ratings from IIHS depending on trim level/headlight type. I know IIHS ratings for the 2nd gen are not available yet, but are the headlights better? 2. Can the infotainment system be operated while wearing regular gloves, or do they have to be tech gloves?
Please try driving this car in freeway with all windows down next time you test drive it and tell me your opinion. Because I have the 2019 gas hybrid limited model, the air circulation sound is so loud that I couldn't hear the radio, I tried with driver side window, same thing loud sound, tried with only sunroof again the same thing. It doesn't make that loud sound in City driving speed. Didn't come with jack nor spare tire, I had to buy the kit. Doesn't have GPS, wireless, no media player. Even the cars in Iran had media player.
I was hot to buy an Ioniq when they first came out but the test drive put me off. The throttle response was awful. In fact, it was just a terrible driver's car all around. Glad I didn't buy it.
The Ioniq is iconic. Tell me you didn’t see that one coming. 57 miles per gallon city and 59 highway!!!! Hyundai is bringing it. It’s an ugly little vehicle but if you want to save money this is the way to go. 24k is not too bad for this ugly little vehicle. Keep those “zonks” in check Joe. Keep your finger off the “zonk” button. I was thinking about moving to Florida but your fellow drivers are putting a damper on that idea.
