Thanks for watching!
I'm glad this car exists because it's design doesn't scream "HEY I DRIVE A HYBRID"
@Joe Joseph Never heard about reliability on the Ioniq. Some issues would be found since it's relatively new to the market. What are the issues?
Joe is just a hater. My fiancé has had one since 2018. We’ve had no issues at all! Take it in for all its services and it run wonderfully! Thinking of going plug in seeing our commutes to work are about 8 miles each way so we could use battery majority of the time and hardly use gas. Unlike my sonata which uses a lot of gas compared to ioniq.
Joe Joseph I had a 2018 accord and ill probably never get another
Joe Joseph was the worst car I ever owned full of electrical issues sat at the dealer for 3 months and I had to come trade loaner cars out every 100 miles they finally determined it needed an entire new wire harness after they changed it the issue still persisted. I traded it for my sonata and haven’t had an issue yet
Joe Joseph I’m not trying to put them down they are known for being the most reliable brands. Just sharing that I had a junky one and will never buy another 🤷🏼♀️
The way you ripped it around a corner and the highway assits got me way more excited about this than any other review. I was under the impression it was the "lame, practical" option I'd be forced into by the gas crisis, but now I could imagine some delightful road trips in an Ioniq without breaking the bank, either up front or at the pump.
i love how soothing his voice is i can’t get enough of these videos
Great review. I own a 2019 hybrid Ioniq and I’m happy to hear your praise. I’ve been overwhelmed by how awesome it is. The driver assist is phenomenal as you stated, so easy and allows you to focus on traffic. I use it all the time. I also love the Driver Only climate button.
Have you thought of getting the comma ai open pilot addition to your car?
@@dealerovski82 it doesnt do much more
I've had this model for over a year after doing my research AND IT HAS PAID OFF!!!
I get free L2 charging at work (free juice) and my daily commute is 26 miles round trip so I don't really charge at home unless I want to top it off. At this rate, I'll only fill it up with gas TWICE a year😁(don't use it for road trips but if I did, I know I could get 650+miles on the 11 gallon fuel tank). Literally no negatives. Hyundai App lets me Auto-Start car/Air Conditioner /heater which is Awesome!!! Audio is top of the line as shown in the video. I would definitely buy/recommend this car to all. Rebates, tax credits bring the price down like another $9K plus no gas equal $$$$😍
I really like the interior design of the Ioniq, looks much better than cars in the same price range and even more expensive cars.
I own the 2019 Ioniq Hybrid, and just put up 21k kms on it in the past year, totally love the car!
Happy owner here too.
Just got one, I’ve heard it’s quite loud inside is that right?
@@dozzio any thoughts on the road/cabin noise after a week driving it?
03:42 --you are one of the very few people (besides myself) that I have ever seen knocking dirt from your shoes before you get in. Wow.
Also, love your smooth talking style. So passive that if you were selling me the car, I'd have my cheque book out by the end of the video.
This small car really have some decent interior design.
Old chief designer of Audi, that’s why
This car is really great, my only gripe is the ambient lighting which for whatever reason Hyundai decided not to give you the option to change it or turn it off completely, it is unbelievably annoying and distracting at night.
Considering Hyundai/Kia have been hiring designers and engineers from VW/Audi and BMW for the past 8 or so years to improve their products; I'm not surprised you got a VW Golf vibe.
Should be picking up my Ioniq Hybrid Premium next week so been watching lots of videos. Doesn't seem to have a lot of coverage but the videos that do cover it all seem to have great comments from current owners, which excites me!
Did you get it? What are your thoughts?
It amazes me that EVEN Hyundai has made better use of a large screen than Acura's new infotainment layout. #smh
My 2020 sonata has HDA it was wonderful on my trip from Texas to Wisconsin I even started to get tired and the car started beeping and shaking the steering wheel telling me it’s time for a break!
That was a wheel bearing 😂😂
Do you think you’d be able to get your hands on a Tesla Model 3?
Or model Y for that matter
I've got the standard hybrid and for the first few days had to be mindful of not doing spin-wheel starts. It's surprisingly powerful at low speeds, and sport mode gives it an immediate boost when joining the highway.
Awesome follow-up video. The safety and the HDA Hyundai offers were big factors in my purchase. It's also an efficient and sporty when you want it to be car. I thought it blew the Prius out of the water, especially if you compare ones with 100K on them. Too bad they stopped making it, could have used one more generation....
You are one hell of a driver, fun to watch and great review !
You mentioning it feels like your VW GTI resonates with me because i'm looking to replace my '05 GTI with this.
You won't be disappointed if you haven't already, I came out of a tuned WRX, changed jobs to add a 120 mile round trip commute and decided it was time to drive something more responsible and this car can actually be pretty fun to drive. I've somewhat gotten into hypermiling too, it's so much fun to see how much mileage I can eek out of it. Also, the HDA is ABSOLUTELY worth it, it is amazing and lowers driver fatigue significantly for me.
I as well agree to Cory. Im coming/currently from an 05 VW GTI after having a suv for several years as well. Thus far my gti has been the best car driving/feel wise. Unsure of longevity but it is time for a change soon.
The sober version of a Prius. Really like it!
Thank you thank you thank you I just got approved finance on the ioniq SE Premium plug in hybrid and the style caught my eye it will be used as a UBER I part ex my 2017 e class for this and you have made me feel like I made a solid choice
My 2020 forte gt gas the highway assist and I love it. I was surprised it had it since its a 6 speed.
In the US, the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid gives you up to $1100 cash back here in NY and up to $4500 federal tax credit. The Teslas give up to $2000 cash back from NY and $7000 federal tax credit.
I ran the numbers on top of their warranty. Hyundai offers really well designed cars and sells them at extremely competitive price points.
I had a decent offer for a trade-in and was considering either the Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid or the Elantra, but then I saw the 2021 Elantra and well... I think I'll wait a few more months before making my final decision.
Nice review! We have a 2021 Ioniq PHEV (and 2023 Elantra N). Aftermarket Rear Sway Bar helps with handling and makes it even more fun to drive with surprisingly ample grip!
30 miles of EV range is great, but when the temp is cold, I mean freezing cold, the ICE engine will kick in, reducing your gas mileage.
Asian Manufacturers are the best way to go...
Except for Nissan, Subaru, and Mitsubishi
@@JDMSwervo2001 Exactly. Mitsubishi is a big corporation and cars is just a side gig, while Nissan-Renault alliance quality is going down and down, I wouldn't be surprised if they go bankrupt this decade. Subaru, I hear their boxer engines always blow up head gaskets plus AWD vehicles are expensive to maintain and they waste more fuel because they're heavier. But the BRZ and WRX STI are really good vehicles.
@Radu Diaconu Good point. Thanks for correcting me. Not sure if the alliance will stay for long anyways but yea.
@Radu Diaconu I have a VW Jetta Mk4. Engine problems are filling my head at the moment. Thanks I'll try enjoy my mom's ranger. Though i despise automatic trans. Enjoy your car too man. But concerning Nissan, here in Africa they're strong especially the bigger vehicles. But they're very expensive to repair. Manual or auto it doesn't matter. Here in Mozambique Nissans are super expensive to maintain.
@Radu Diaconu Renault Duster is actually famous in South Africa because of their fuel efficiency. Renault actually is the most fuel efficient BRAND here in Southern Africa, not sure about the whole of Africa. The diesel engines are solid well build engines. Yea good move on maintaining your vehicle at independent shops. Dealerships lately have all these scams up their a-holes. Concerning the Mk4 Jetta, I've got the 1.6L naturally aspirated. It is a solid engine. It's one heck of a fun vehicle to drive on the highway cause of the 5 speed manual trans. I did have issues with mechanics here in Mozambique, my dad left the car with a mechanic after he had accidents but the engine still runs and runs. The AC doesn't work, the rear left door doesn't open at all, the rear right door doesn't lock, the central locking is busted, the front 2 doors can only be opened from the inside, the sunroof was broken by the mechanic but my dad only cares for the engine bay. Apart from that, it's a nice naturally aspirated engine. Parts for the engine are pretty cheap and its fuel economy isn't bad at all. I still get around 31MPG on the highway.
i wish I could do something like this when I grow up
Bought one yesterday. The limited white with the light grey interior. LOVE IT!
IMO avoid the light gray, reflection on windshield makes a lot glare. Should never have a light color like that on top of dashboard.
12:39 watch out for the rabbit!!!
Great, honest review - especially from an enthusiast's perspective!
Such a great car! You are a great driver as well!
Poor lil thing crossing the road 12:39 😂😂
Jajaj. I was looking for this comment.
But he missed it- if he saw it that is.
The chime actually feels even expensive than Japanese rivals
Super sweet review!
Traded my BMW 535d in for a new Ioniq 2 days ago. Hoping to have my Ioniq in 3-4 weeks
@@Mark-eu6mc actually i love it. Its a very nice car for the money.
I don't know much about mpg but on the 535d I averaged 8.8l/100km or about 28mpg
Now I have the Ioniq since 6 months and average 50 to 59mpg.
I mostly drove in the city and some freeways, up to 60mph
@@Mark-eu6mc hi!
I would be lying if I was saying the swap wasn't a huge difference.
Owned the BMW for 3 years and if was a fine time. Damn nice riding comfort, power and torque and lots and lots of luxury gadgets. Being a 2014 model, you could tell it was aging though. By the time I sold it, it was almost 7 years old with 85k miles and I spend a lot of money on service and repairs. A lot! (EGR cooler blown, transmission oil leaking...)
In the end the BMW was still a luxury sedan but also felt like an aging dinosaur to me.
Since I live in Vienna which can be quite crowded, the smaller Hyundai fits my lifestyle much better. The smaller size makes it a mich better choice for the urban area and being a 2021 model you can tell it's a mmich more modern car than the Beemer.
This and the 5year warranty who keeps me out of expensive repair bills sold it to me.
Obviously it's build much cheaper, lots of Plastics but nothing rattles.
The riding comfort and seats are fine for me so I'm all good
Impressive. Now let's see Paul Allen's Ioniq
Great looking car right there looks like a good buy
Wow, aside from the lack of the cool chrome overlay on top of the screen, they completely ripped off the ELR digital gauge cluster.
The Topher trying to put you to sleep while doing his review, while he puts his turning signal on inside the empty parking lot.
nice car
Hey bro! Now we need to see your dad's FJ on the Winding Road Channel! Pov Drive with no dialog!
When the charger is plugged into the car, can anyone tell me how far out the handle sticks out? Thank you!
How did you get your hands on this car? I cannot even get a Hyundai dealer in Michigan to order me one.
Does it has a DCT? If yes, will it damage the clutch during stop and go traffic (inching forward)?
can you drive/review a 2019/2020 honda insight?
Impressive hybrid however the regen system needs to be tuned for smooth modulation other then that pretty cool car fun to drive it accelerates well and handles well
Wow nice Ionic i like the interieur design!!👍🙂
I would love it if you would do a review on the new Hyundai Tucson hybrid.
Nice car.. Hello man, i'm from Colombia, i like your videos..can you show us the funtions of the control? Or Maybe see the interior of the cars at nigth.. regrats👍
Wow a hybrid with a 6 speed automatic. No CVT!🙌
DCT-transmission might be an equally good option.🤔
@@henrikkoukku2896 The Ioniq's transmission is a DCT. A CVT would suit the hybrid system better however.
@@TheSynecdoche -Okey.
@@TheSynecdoche these cars in sport mode are fast. i take mine to the track lol (2019 regular hybrid model) got 17 inch rims, michelin pilot sports, thing goes 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, and sport mode makes suspension really stiff so no body roll. put front and side splitters on it, and ordered an adjustible rear wing
@@TheSynecdoche I drive a Kia 19 Kia Niro hybrid with the same powertrain that's in the ionic. One of the best features of these two hybrids is that DCT. The electric motor smooths out the shifts considerably compared to Velosters etc. Overall it's by far the best car that I've ever owned.
Please, what colour is it?
12:39 Mouse crossing the street
That's not a mouse bro lol.
It's clearly a dog.
It's a cat 🤦♂️
Ya'll...
It's a dingus.
I thought it was a cat😂😂
Rabbit. Look at how it hops and the large ears from its side profile.
Can you bring a db meter? Want to know the road noise
Me too! 7:42 he discusses road noise... but no db details. It's the #1 reason I haven't purchased a hybrid yet. I find all of them to be too noisy.
Keep the (slideable) trunk cover on - it helps reduce what little road noise there is.
If i could go back to Nov, i would buy this car rather than Prius 2019. Prius is a good car, but the design just so bad, and the exterior looks ugly too.
Yes but the prius would last at least 3x as long as the ioniq.
I’ve heard the Prius drives more like a traditional Hybrid, the Ioniq drives more like a ICE. I plan on getting one soon and it certainly seems like a better value
Hey Craig did you end up buying one? How has your experience with it been so far?
@@Alex73154 I went with a Kona N-Line ULT we just liked the design better and the 18-month wait for a Hybrid just wasn’t worth it… in comparison I had my N-Line within 5 months
Ciao complimenti per il video, io ho il modello 2018, sono molto contento!!! Ciao
Just curious, have you tested Hyundai Nexo? I'm not sure if the level 4 autonomous driving is available in retail unit but they have tested the car driving itself for over 500 km, with no human intervention at all, for the Winter Olympics.
WHOA WAIT ONE SECOND!!! So it drives itself on highway??? I understand it doesn’t do it for 1000000 miles but it drives by itself?? If so that’s JETSON stuff!! What’s the price for the model you drove??
What does highway driving assist add that basic lane keeping and autonomous cruise control do?
2020 Ioniq Plug-in and traditional Hybrid will be replaced by 2021 Elantra Hybrid, only Ioniq EV will remain.
Not so much
Die Felgen links sind anders orientiert als die Felgen rechts, wie ist es korrekt ? Danke !(habe das gleiche Auto)
Does this car not have ventilated seats for the USA market? I've seen other reviews where it shows both heated and ventilated seats.
How much boot space is there
Yesss get one and put sport tires on it then take it on the track
Great review!
I used to be a Hyundai snob until I bought my Ioniq and boy do I love it!
Definitely does not lag like the Prius Prime which I also test drove.
I drive 38 non-freeway miles round trip daily and get about 40 ev miles between charges. Using almost 100% battery, I only use about 1 gallon of gas per month...crazy cheap driver!
Do they make the Ionia hybrid a non pHEV. Thanks ❤️🇨🇦
The reason it feels like a VW Audi is because one of their designers came over to Hyundai
plugin or regular hybrid though? thoughts?
Nice vid
Highway driving assist you mean Lane keep assist? Are they the same?
No and they are on most toyotas and newer vehicles
You should do a video on a tesla model 3
Price?
Bunny :) 12:40
Hi Topher- question...do you know how much(roughly) it costs to do an overnight charge ( 120v outlet, house plug) from 0% battery? thanks-- considering buying one but want to know the actual charging costs first
I'm late but let's break out the math.
The Ioniq has a 8.9 kWh battery, let's say 9 kWh to make the math easier.
According to this IEEE paper*, charging efficiency at 120V is around 84%.
Therefore, you'll need 9 kWh/.84 = 10.7 kWh to charge the car.
The average cost of electricity in the US is 13.7¢/kWh**, so 10.7kWh * 13.7¢/kWh * $1 / 100¢ = $1.47.
Therefore, you'll be paying $1.47/day, assuming you go from 0% to 100% everyday and you pay 13.7¢/kWh. That's $536.55/year.

@@AdamWang19 thanks SO much Adam for your expert reply! Funny, I already have the car( got a great deal and leased) but the car has been in the service dept now for 3 weeks while they tried to determine why the car would no longer accept a charge. It's looking like a defective charger.
@@JJ-rg7yp Aw man, that sucks. I was looking into this car, but now I'm not so sure... How was your time with it before it broke down?
@@AdamWang19 before it started acting up it was great....saving me 100-125 per month on gas...dealership replaced my defective charger...free under warranty, but told me they retail for $2400.00
Do you know what the difference is between the 2020 Hyundai ionic and a 2021 Hyundai ionic ? The 2021 Hyundai ionic is more expensive seriously that's it.
So the 2021 Kia k5
That 0-60 time is horrible though.
it should have a liquid cooled hi voltage battery like the volt and li ion 12 volt battery set up like the nonplugin hybrid Ioniq has it only charge at 3.3 kw on level 2 most plug ins charge at 7.7kw can't use climate control while its charging doesn't have heat pump like Prius so it kicks the ice on to provide heat which wastes gas and creates premature engine wear i don't use the heat lolbecause it pisses me off
the regen braking setup on this car is lame it could be fixed with a software update to have one pedal drive behavior as the teslas and the bolt have
it needs a seat back pocket on drivers seat its noisier then a Prius but its funner to drive I can live with that have one & do enjoy it
btw the euro spec and Australian versions have heated wheel and ventilated seats what gives
Accelerating 0-100km/h ?.🤔
10.6 secs according to factory data.
@@TheSynecdoche in sport mode it does it in 7.3
How many are here because of BTS great video:)
The problem with this car is that it's 33k how you've equipped it.
Wait a year or two and it will be 20k for a low-mileage one. I got my Stinger 3.3T AWD CPO for cheap that way.
Oh god hybrids no no no no
Big gas man over here calm down
not buy china korea car. weird ugly. cheap design
Are you disabled?
Japanese?
