About point 6, regen. You forgot the biggest feature of this car: Auto regen with 3 levels! (enabled by holding right shift paddle). Car will automatically start regen harder as you approach roundabouts or traffic in front of you, even if in 0 regen to always cruise.
(as PHEV 2017 owner) For rear lower mirror rain fogging - I start rear window heating, and visibility improves in few minutes (or swipe it before drive). For "key out of car" warning with engine ON - just do not close all doors on car and alarm will not start-off. ...but that does not mean those are not quirks at least... to add one quirk of my own - when wiper in auto with high intensity, if wipers work faster, they tend to lock in (do not have time to dry out in front of sensor) and must be turned off and on.
My Ioniq 38kwh has both departure time set and charging schedule. You find the setting by pressing EV button (on climate panel) and on bottom of the screen.
The Ioniq does have a departure schedule function and a way to specify the low rate period for electricity. Its the same system on Kia EVs. The scheduling function is in the EV button.
Yes it works. Scheduled charging works for special hours. What I wanted was, that the car charges to the desired charge limit when a certain time is reached. But this Ioniq started charging right away!
Battery Life yes that is true and indeed confusing. I had the same struggle and found it illogic to not be able to specify the charging start time. The workaround I found was simply using the BlueLink app and manually starting the charge which is handy at times and inconvenient if you want it started in the middle of the night 🤷🏼♂️ I’m surprised you didn’t talk about fast charging speed, most videos annoyingly mention this as a flaw but also fail to mention that fast charging should be the exception since doing so on a regular basis actually reduces the battery life expectancy
Yes, it‘s abit of a pity. However it‘s related to less cobalt in the cells which is a good thing. In addition it‘s to increase the longivity of the battery which is good as well. Then thinking on how often you drive more than 250km and would need to wait 15 additional minutes in those cases, it‘s a matter on how often this would apply to your driving profile. For me it‘s good enough to live with it.. The tendency to move away from haptic buttons is a poor design choice, which wouldn‘t cost a fortune to fit into. Maybe it‘s because you shouldn‘t drive and play around, however it would be much safer in any cast to use haptic buttons. I agree. It‘s annoying, but something one can live with IMHO.
Then it would have been an E Niro, Hyundai Said it would not raise the car, I guess it would have gone too far away from the Ioniq concept. The tires are slightly taller 60 Vs 55 this is because the battery pack purtroudes a bit more from underneath its chassis.. This also acounts of the 3% error in the in the trip meter..
I agree with most of it. Not sure about LFA but that is a personal choice thing anyway. Though my car only has LKAS being the classic Ioniq 28kWh. My car though has both a Trip A & Trip B so odd that the new one doesn't unless that is a German model only thing or European model thing. I'm happy I have physical buttons, after I saw the new model I was happy I got the older model, though I can only charge to 100% no charge limit option unless I manually time it and stop it myself. Overall I totally agree with your assessment. The tire spin thing is crazy, think it is something to do with tires that Hyundai picked you could get softer ones but would make it less efficient I'm thinking but better grip in wet.
100% acknowledge If you change wiping interval the wiper do not start wipe immediately. e.g. windshield full of water, change wiping interval: nothing happened.
Funny thing is that on two occasions my wife has dropped me off somewhere and I have had the car key in my pocket…..once she stopped the car and couldn’t restart it until I brought the key to her and the second time she didn’t ignore the warning and came back to collect the key.
the heat button only disable the electric heater. the headpump still runs. unless you disable AC. in Winter i always disable the heater and only use the heat Pump.
Acumulated info (trip A) 😉 Drive info (trip B) you can change from setting to not reset dayli 😉 At my car i restet trip A at every oil change and trip B at every petrol full, but is better to (auto) reset dayli because in this mode you have ready saved dayli history consumption 😉
Useful stuff, the Ioniq does look like it should be efficient, it’s low and sleek compared to even really decent EVs like the Kona. In the UK, I am more mixed up now as to what units we are going to use than ever! - but 5/8 of the kmh number is mph, so that means your 180kph is 22.5 x 5 = 112.5mph. That extra is not a speed range commonly used, but it’s nice to have the ‘headroom’ or know the car is in its comfort zone doing the major hiway/motorway speeds. Thanks for documenting this car’s capabilities. Keep safe and be equal, everybody.
@Name not supplied Yes, 10 divided by 16 (1.0 div by 1.6) is the same as 5/8. You must be the post-calculator generation, I prefer to calc stuff in my head. Here’s a party trick you can do to people who are similarly post-calculator: you know how there’s people who can recall ‘Pi’ to a thousand decimal places? I can remember it to even greater accuracy…(pause for the group to expect you to reel off a series of digits)…22/7 is Pi exactly. That, is more accurate than 3.141 etc (can’t recall the rest). Decimal is a great system, but fractions have advantages that are impossible to beat. Finally, you are right and we are in agreement. I am just explaining why I use fractions. It’s all good.
Hey Chris just looked at the blue link and it appears you can schedule charging. Not tried it yet as I don't need a charge. Keep up the good work and maybe Hyundai will tackle some of the issues in an update 😁😁😁
I tried it a few minutes ago. After I defined my departure time and the desired SoC in the Bluelink app and sent it to the car, charging was immediately interrupted. In the app you can see that the car will be charged according to the planned departure time.
The 28 kWh classic Ioniq offers schedule charging. You set days of the week, time of departure and optional heating on the screen of the car in the EV section (easy to find there). So the car is charged (to 100%, no restriction here) and warm when you want to depart. When you have set scheduled charging and plug-in, the charging does not start immediately, instead one of the three blue LEDs in the front is blinking. I'm quite sure the new Ioniq also offers this feature.
I haven't used a charger yet (Ioniq was ordered 7 months ago and I should get it within 1 month), but can't you select a start/stop time on the smart charger itself? Even if you can't specify a percentage, you should be able to set a charge duration?
Hi Chris I have the 28kwh Ioniq and I have the LKA/LFA menu on the steering wheel buttons. It's the same menu where you enable and adjust the electric seat comfort function. I can set up there what option I want as default regarding LKA/LFA or off. It should be the same in the new model also. About the buzzer for the 'key not in the car' warning, I will locate it and put a bit of duct tape over it so it will sound more discrete. More like a reminder then an alarm 😉 About the drops of water left on the small back window, they don't bother me because that viewing angle is not really necessary for me, unless I want to see the licence plate of the cars behind me. (and the new model has the rear view camera for that if needed) ☺ The wheel spin for me is no issue. I am not a sporty driver aniway, but I have already adapted to it pretty quick. Also lowering a little bit the front tyre preassure will help if not possible to get softer rubber tyres. Great video. I wish you ordered an Ioniq instead 😁
@@BatteryLife in your experience of charging from ..%-..% of charge you get the top speed of 49kwh ? From what i saw it's just a peak, it stays usually at around
@@BatteryLife Schade. Very useful thing is the HUD. I guess you can use the 12V to put a portable one in though, which is what I currently do for my gen 2 Prius.
@@ericandeva It could be 20 digital screens, when you're looking down you're not looking at the road. I want to be always aware of my speed AND the road at the same time and not having to look down all the time.
@@yggdrasil9039 is to easy and fast to read now the displays compare for e.g. to vw passat 2005 where speed is analog and centre display is where climate is (very down and small)
I have deposits down on a Ioniq and a Tesla 3. Its a really difficult decision. Critical factor. My daughter lives 145 miles away and I visit every month. Given both are within budget which would you choose?
You should drive both and choose the one that fit your needs. For me comfortable and how it drives is more important than Power, Range and charging speed.
Are you sure that you cannot schedule charging time for low rates? My ioniq 28 will wait - the blue middle light flashes to show it is waiting for scheduled low price electricity.
@@BatteryLife ah yes. Also the best solution for battery longevity. You could cheat the system I suppose: set the off peak time to be the same as your departure time. If you had the same daily routine this might be possible - or you could use the charge current settings and choose a rate to help timing. Probably need someone to do chart showing how long and at what current the car would need to be set, to deliver the correct finish time!
Haptic / capacitive buttons are a pain. I don't care what Musk thinks, analogue switches and knobs are far safer and more reliable than screens and soft-switches.
Yes that was a lot for a gain of 100 miles. That's equivalent to a car that gets 50mpg at $4.30 per gallon. It would have been $5.85 at home. Those charging stations are a ripoff. But I guess your paying for the company overhead of installing the charger, maintaining the charger, etc...

I can live with ALL the quirks and mild perceived negatives. I’m happy to upgrade from a 2nd Generation Prius to this vehicle. This is perfect for me!
What a great video, all points very relative, and impressed you almost started a rant, stay safe Chris.

Thanks Chris for your thoughts about likes and dislikes. Again a very nice video. Very precise and objective.
Enjoyed that. Got mine yesterday so lots of useful information gained from this video!

The charging speed is worse than the model before. But amongst other car, I think it is ok.
Thank you! can't wait to get my car next week
Enjoy it.
Add a pad to your garage door. I like it, I am tall and I don't hit my head.
It's a pity about the charging speed and those haptic buttons on the new model. They got it right the first time. :)

Another great video Chris, just imagine the range if they could squeeze the same 64kwh battery into it that all the other Kia/ Hyundai have.

The tires are slightly taller 60 Vs 55 this is because the battery pack purtroudes a bit more from underneath its chassis.. This also acounts of the 3% error in the in the trip meter..
Totally agree about the wiper sensors. I have a 2021 model and the auto wipers drive me mad.

Opening the charging lid from inside is a good thing. Then it wont freeze stucked during the winter
Why would it not freeze?

Are you sure? Sounds weird. And with the instant power consumption you can see that the consumption goes to zero when deactivating the Heat button.
Exellent video with lots of information! Thanks!
02:50 nice vibrato!
Great video, I have had rain sensors on a number of cars and they have never worked properly. I guess humans are just better at somethings 🙂
The entire glass should be a sensor to make it work well ^^ Maybe with the camera at the bottom they could do it.
Renault Kangoo has a very good rain sensor. I was surprised how good it worked compared to my old Ioniq.
Now Gone Obcelte, I found out after I had waited, 6 months, went Obcelete around the time I ordered, it, Cancelled it, Lucky escape
