I created this video with the CZcams Video Editor ( / editor )
I've been running a Hyundai Ionic since Jan 17. It's done around 4300 miles at the time of writing this. I mainly use it for a 16 mile round trip commute from Dunstable to Harpenden, M1, M25 runs to visit my son and M1, M6 to visit family in Birmingham. So a good mixture or road types. The onboard computer indicates I'm doing an average of 57.7 mpg. This is not a peek figure. this is a genuine average as the computer has not been reset since purchasing the car. The sport mode makes a significant difference to accelerating from rest, making it safe to pull into that gap in the traffic. the gearbox is smooth and you hardly notice it changing, and it's same when changing from engine to electric motor. Cruising on the motorway you don't know when its changing from engine to electric, and it will run solely on the electric motor at 70 mph.
Prior to purchasing this car I was an avid Mitsubishi fan having had 5 of them in the past, mainly because of their bullet proof reliability and build quality. However, I'm impressed with the build quality of the Ionic and it's more comfortable than any of the Mitsubishi's I have had.
My model Ionic is the Premium, not the Premium ES used in the video. It still has a lot of the features shown in the video, but has cloth seats, no blind spot aware system or the rear transverse traffic warning. But it does have the inductive charging, the apple and android system and the heated seats and steering wheel heaters. So a really well appointed middle range car. I think this one will be the most sort after version of the ionic range.
A fantastic response from an owner, that is great to hear. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks mate these idiots failed to mention many of the information you wrote here
The interior of the IONIC looks like a 'normal' car, not some science fiction experiment like the Prius does.
Haha, I understand what you mean although I like the image of the car driving, pretty cool touch.
The downside to the Prius is that Toyota does not back up their products. After buying a new Prius in 2007 I had to pay $2000 to Toyota for the main battery failure. (the car had under 150K miles on it) I also found out that if I was living in California the repair would have been free. In addition to the battery, the paint has flaked off in several areas and the entire ABS system failed, a repair cost of $2500. Hyundai's warranty is far superior to anything that Toyota, or most other manufacturers provide.
Hyundai's warranty is indeed superb!!
Just like my 2008 Hyundai accent floor collapsed due to rust. Right?
Tom Smith I hell no !! Sorry you had to go through that I might just go with the Hyundai then cause A girl at work swears by her Prius lol
I was hoping you'd do a comparison of how both car's drive trains behave, what pure electric range you can expect and such because this is the most important thing here, not how soft the plastics are.
The prius looks like a science project. Now i dont have to force myself to get the prius just because i want fuel savings. I can have my cake and eat it with the IONIQ.
I just traded in a 2007 Toyota Prius for a 2017 Toyota Prius and love it my 07 Prius had four hundred thousand miles on it very minimum maintenance that's hard to beat people
I’m still deciding between the ionic and the Prius
@@ChelleBear7 Actually, I wouldn't buy a Prius due to the overheating inverter problem causing loss of power. But to each his own.
I bought the 2016 Prius brand new and I have no problems with it. But you should test drive both cars
Rediculss comments regarding electronic safety devices !! Electronics are proven to aid road safety and are constantly monitoring and adjusting for certain situations far better than you or I. See how easily you were distracted by the Aston Martin? Other than this, a good honest review.
I understand and appreciate your comments....however seeing the Aston Martin did not alter or hinder my driving ability.
Another great review looks like Hyundai have come a long way since the Pony!
Got the Hyundai hybrid Premium SE model recently. (2018 -UK) Loving it. Easily the best car I have ever had. Early days but averaging 58/59 mpg although I did have it in the sport mode a few times which makes it feel a different car again.Just over 60 mpg on longer trips. Have to get used to a silent car on start up. Looks stunning in the platinum silver finish and much better looking than the Prius. Dual clutch automatic super smooth.
Prius doesn't have the "Apple and Android system".
I can tell you do not drive much on the motorways.. adaptive cruise is wonderful and particularly when driving around the M25 and anywhere in heavy traffic.
Hi, I understand what you are saying. You are right. Our nearest motorway is about 100 miles away! However, I know i would not want it as would feel it is taking my want to control the car myself, away.
Motors for the Masses wait until your 1st experience of Tesla semi Autonomous driving.. 30 seconds of heart in the mouth.. followed by 100% safe feeling and I cannot get enough of it. It is about 10,000 times safer then human driving too.
Again I understand it is most likely safer...but soooo dull! I love driving...not being a passenger
So, what is final thought? Which is better??
POINTLESS!...ACC is not pointless. Smart car people made Auto stop and ACC because there was a need. Repeated deaths and costly repairs have created the need, and the budget, to create these devices.
Hey it wasn't too long ago that seat belts were an annoyance. If a new driver was texting while approaching you, would you like them driving a 93 civic or a car with the latest safety tech?
I did say personally I see it as pointless as I like to be in control of the car and such gadgets take the ability for me to control the car, away. I understand you could argue ABS, ESP etc also does that but it does change how I drive. I still speed up and slow down at my own pace and I am right in that you need to do that all to be able to pass your test. I do see your argument that accidents have laid the path for such tech to be invented but I still do not want it on my car!
Considering you make money driving while filming / distracted , which to me IS pointless and dangerous, I look forward to the day you no longer get to make that choice.
WOW! Angry? Jealous? Most 'Drivers' would probably agree with me but you are of course entitled to your opinion, however bitter it may be. Not sure which...unnecessary for sure! I guess you think Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Wheeler Dealers and every other car show is pointless and dangerous... which makes me wonder why you bother watching car video's in the first place. Have a great day!
I don't understand why they need to be filmed driving either, correct!
I am not angry, I just didn't get the impression you have been using the technology long enough to understand the greatness.
I really like your show. I absolutely appreciate your work and enjoy the banter.
Thank you for saying so. With respect, using the technology long enough has nothing to do with it. I know I like to control the car myself rather than have a computer take that decision away from me. I love driving and love cars and fully appreciate technology. Like I said, I just don't want it myself, I prefer to drive the car myself. I can understand it can prevent some accidents and most likely go wrong less than a human of course but for those who love to drive, it is a passion that ones needs the whole experience of. It is like a skydiver jumping out of a plane, but a computer pulls the shoot and rather than he/she steer it completely, a machine takes over and adjusts his control so if he/she thought to would move left and then right a few seconds later, a computer decides...no, it is actually safer to turn left now, forget right...not happening.... I would wager no skydiver would want that, he/she would want to control the whole thing and enjoys the thrill of it.
How it is possible to compare two hybrids without any word of consumption?
uhh...mileage comparison? Kind of important don't you think?
Please spend more time directly comparing them.
The dials change to the sport mode when you put the gearbox into automatic mode.
very nice review, a very fair one.
9:30 sport drive mode is activated by pulling the shifter to the left
oh my god... what about the mpg!!"!
Toyota was going the right way with looks in their last gen Prius.....then the new 2016's came out. Toyota took a step backwards IMO. Hyundia on the other hand leaped forward as for looks and efficiency......get rid of the ugly rims.
Hi, the rims are an acquired taste I feel; I do see your point. Personally I like the Prius looks now and did not like the 1st or 2nd gen looks. Hyundai have done themselves proud though I think.
I think the first 3 generations of the Prius looks bland. The forth generation actually looks sporty.
5 year update?
Anyone still have this 2017? Thoughts, complaints, expenses on service and or repairs? What to expect after 5 year or 100k miles?
Thanks ahead
Im watching this you tube that was posted almost 6 years ago. im wondering how, in 2022, each car held up! Witch one had less breakdowns, and issues. Im also wondering if Hyundai honers there super warrentY or is that all hype!
Sorry but the new Prius is one fugly looking car. It's better looking than the previous generation but it's still lacking in the looks dept unlike the Hyundai Ioniq. I own the 2010 Prius, love the mpg's but it's soon going to be replaced and quite possibly for the Hyunday or the Chevy Volt~ Time to test drive both!~
I agree on the looks of the older version; although the newer one seems better. The Hyundai is definitely proving more popular though
So which one is the top pick and why?
What was the difference in mpg between the two???
For the Ioniq, the brochure states 83mpg but realistically the average is around 50. For the Prius, brochure states up to 94 but realistically that is around 61.
Motors for the Masses FYI, US EPA RATING FOR IONIQ IS 58MPG. PRIUS IS 56MPG. IONIQ IS THE TOP DOG IN THE STATES.
That certainly is interesting. I wonder if fuel ron makes a difference? Or is it a marketing strategy? Are those real tested figures?
Motors for the Masses see below article. "Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Tops Prius in EPA Ratings" thegreencarguy.com/hyundai-ioniq-hybrid-fuel-economy/
Yes, that is certainly a bit different than the UK, I wonder why that is?
what about the Hybrid systems ?? I heard the same system from th eIONIQ is in the KIA Niro and some testers noticed taht the system SUCKS due to always saving min. 30% of akku power.ö Therefore th engine ALWAYS get in when the akku drop under 50% !! This sucks because you cant "sail" as long as you might wish. On the other hand the DCT is much better than the loud high revving CVT in the Prius !
I have a Gen 3 Prius...best looking one yet. When I saw the Gen 4, I laughed my ass off! How in the hell could Toyota allow THAT design as an upgrade? Kind of like what Lexus did when they went from the LS400 to the ugly ass LS430 until they pulled their head out or their rectum with the LS460 LOL!
I'm unfamiliar with footbrakes. Does it intrude into your left foot's space? Would a handbrake be better?
Hi, not at all. I have a Merc myself as a daily driver and they have foot brakes. Never been an issue and this is the same, far enough out of the way.
hyundai better warranty stressless...
NORWICH!!
I vote Hyundai
leaning on Cars? :(
Hyundai is better looking than a Prius
Will O'Toole anything is better looking than a prius
Well, that may be good if all you want is a car that LOOKS GOOD.When I want a car, I want a whole lot more than just "looks" Moreover, what is "god looking" is a subjective perception & a PERSONAL OPINION... so, Thanks, but no thanks... I may be an american like you, but I ain't stupid
I do agree with that. Aesthetics are very important to me but not only what I look for....but I drive a Mustang so what do i know....brakes crap, suspension crap, gadgets....erm missing. Looks AWESOME in my opinion of course. I had to spend thousands to not make it crap lol.
Well, I have 350,000 miles on my 2007 Prius, but I will buy the Hyundai before I buy the new Prius. The new Prius is flat out ugly any way you look at it.
That is interesting as I personally think the '07 shape is ugly and like the stark lines of this new one.
what an ugly car prius is
I dont Think so
Prius is world's number 1 hybrid engine hyundai just arrived... Let's see how it works
Actually, I wouldn't buy a Prius due to the overheating inverter problem causing loss of power. But to each his own.
its not even the pris that start it all it was the 1st gen honda insight
Prius started in 1997, Insight started in 1999
Now that we've solved fuel efficiency, we gotta worry about kilometers now
When everyone thinks of the word hybrid they think of PRIUS!!! NOT ioniq. Because the Prius The Godfather of hybrid technology. It’s the king and best hybrid in the world. It’s the very first hybrid known to man.
Release date of the car automatically makes it the best hybrid in the world? And using a Ni-Mi battery really makes it not the king of being the best hybrid in the world.
The first hybrid car was Lohner-Porsche Mixte invented way back in 1899 by none other than the Austrian automotive engineer, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche.
Actually, I wouldn't buy a Prius due to the overheating inverter problem causing loss of power. But to each his own.
Ford was sort of the Godfather of the automobile so you wouldn't buy a Mercedes?
interesting
Skip to 1:52
lol. he says Hai-un die... come on.
In the UK, that's how we say it
Wached whole video forr millage comparison but there isn't any in it
The most important thing you guys missed
why buy a copy of a prius when you can just buy a prius
Why do you feel it is a copy, similar looking hybrid? I see your point in that respect...but so many cars are going hybrid now.
And most of them are retaining the aerodynamic lines of the Prius. Didn't Honda try to change it & then had to come back to it?
Because buying a new hybrid isn't like buying a Ferrari. It's not an emotional purchase. The Hyundai is not fake or less good. I'd simply buy the one that you like best and fits your budget. It's a good buy either way. My Ioniq will arrive somewhere next month in Premium edition. A similar-equipped Prius costs way more than a Prius in The Netherlands. Also I think the Prius is very ugly. So ... that makes it an easy choice for me and also answeres your question.
I like that there are more hybrid car options out there. And I'd hardly call the Hyundai Ioniq a "copy" of the Prius. The Ioniq looks completely different from the Prius (nicer IMHO). It has a duo clutch transmission instead of a CVT. The battery technology is different as well. Really the one edge that the Prius has over the Ioniq is that it's proven. It's been around a long time and all the early bugs have been sorted out. This is where the killer Hyundai warranty come into play. I'm very curious about the Hyundai Ioniq and see no need to knock it when I haven't even test driven it.
Completely agree, we were very impressed with the Ioniq
Hotweeuoz
bad volume annoying bass whooooof
Perhaps your bass is turned up too much as it is fine through our subwoofers
you should just remove it (remove bass), already turned down my settins but all sounds weired then, it is uncomfortable. most videos about EV have though, if you can get it out that'd be nice.
also the volume is not mixed up well. your video would have much better quality if it had. i have to tune it up and down manually, nice video, but I wouldn't subscribe to such ....
This was March and I am learning all the time. You should see improvements as time goes on. There have been some sound issues but the past couple of months they have been improved.
hyundai ioniq is obviously better than toyota prius prime
Well the Prius is more reliable and proven already, But the Hyundai looks like all other Boring Hyundais.
How could it be proven more reliable when the Iconiq just came out a year ago?
Hyundai has their hybrid for many tears now with their Sonata. Not exactly new in the hybrid segment. Plus given longer warranty on the car and lifetime warranty on the lithium batteries = peace of mind
Actually, I wouldn't buy a Prius due to the overheating inverter problem causing loss of power. But to each his own.
This Hyundai is great car, however when we talk about hybrids the Prius and all Toyota models are the best and only real hybrids, this Hyundai might be a better car in general but the hybrids system is not as good as on the Prius. My advice, if you are looking at Hyundai get it in full ev variant, it’s a unique car and really good, one of the most efficient Ev’s
Ok, so the Prius is on bigger wheels than Ioniq and still consumes less. Hyundai is not there yet.
BokiXI id be willing to save a couple quarters on gas for a much better looking and aggressive car
You mean Prius uses old battery technology and lower fuel economy and looks really ugly. But you buy it bc it is Japanese. Lol
Ones ugly uses more fuel and has crappy old nickel metal hydride batterys 🙄
Accept the motors for the masses. I am a member of the indigent proliteriate;and i will rage against the machine that is the illuminate till the day i die.
You are a member of the poor working class? So you are saying you are against engines? or hybrids?
Hyundai engines are trash headgaskets blow fast lol and the snoke from muffler lol
There's no back wiper on the Hyundai plus the added cost of replacing the dual clutch can't be cheap!? No clutch to be changed on the Toyota. Just one of many things to not worry about when thinking of buying the Toyota. Oh yeah it has a rear wiper too. I like the warrant on the Hyundai if Toyota ever match this then there would be no competition at all. But seriously if you drive the Toyota.. would you ever need it!!?? Yes you might need to take an extended warranty that might help.
Toyota still ugly
