It was a long time coming, but Hyundai’s answer to the Toyota Prius is the first truly head-to-head alternative to the car that defined the term “hybrid.” - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I have a black one. Bought it on 10/01/2017. I LOVE IT. I'm in Southern California and I average about 57 mpg. My brother liked mine so much that he went and bought one too. I also love the warranty and the battery has lifetime warranty rather than Toyota which needs to be replaced after 5-6 years, I think.
Shel E how much do you spend on gas/electricity compared to a normal car?
I average 50mpg in mine - UK roads - my last car was less than half that, so you save at least twice as much on fuel as a normal car - and I don't drive this like a grandma - one of the things I liked about it was that it felt good to drive, and you can put it in sport and have some fun, but still get 50mpg - you can even do 120mph on the motorway if you're naughty
thanks for the info really looking into getting this car.
My family has an 11 year old Prius and the battery is still fine.
The Toyota Prius batteries as long as you daily drive the cars are actually known for going more than 500,000 Miles because it uses a nickel battery if you let the car sit around and you don't exercise the battery and charge the battery up every now and then it tends to self discharge itself because nickel batteries don't hold charge like that they will hold charge but not like the lithium battery in this car and once it just charges blow certain point the battery chemistry goes bad the people who actually buy the Prius and use it and drive it because it's kind of a car to save money are the ones who find that the cars last forever it's not a 5 to 6 your life span on the battery my 2007 Prius has its original Hybrid battery and I have over 235,000 miles on my car and whenever I do the tests that show how strong the battery is like the 0 to 60 acceleration test my battery still shows up as a fairly strong battery and my car was actually manufactured in July of 2006 so it's battery is actually over 12 years old now and it's in great shape nickel batteries as far as when you use them how many charge-discharge cycles they will do and how many watch / kilowatts they will pass through them in the higher quality grade nickel batteries that manufacturers use in manufacturing cars actually will Outlast a lithium battery but the lithium battery in this car will last so long that the rest of the car will wear out first before the battery in the Hyundai ioniq as well.
I’m about to buy one, wow looks way better than a Prius
Update?
I've had my ionic for just 2 days and it's brilliant, the sports mode is fantastic very responsive comfortable, I'm 56 and owned various cars this is by far the way forward.
How do you put it in sport my dad just got one
best review I have seen!
Good review. I must say it looks nice in black.
This is an excellent review. Why did you stop making videos? I'd like to see your review of the 2019 Honda Insight.
EXCELLENT REVIEW SIR!!! Right down to your inseam measurement (actually you don't look that tall on screen). Good review, I am thinking of a hybrid and as to date the Ioniq is the front runner.
Great Review!
I’m convinced that the reason why the Prius sales are declining are due to the styling of the car
Averaging $50 every 2 weeks (900-925 KM on a full tank)
San Francisco has some steep hills. My Ioniq powers up and down those hills (with a full passenger load) no problem. Brakes are worry free. Actually, they sometimes work too good. Have to ease off sometimes to avoid braking too suddenly. And the brakes don’t slip going down a steep hill (unlike my old car).
Great review!
My Chevrolet Cobalt gets no better than mid 30s when driving as conservatively as possible on the highway and it's similar in size and power. So the fact that mid 30s is the worst this one gets driving aggressively in sport mode is amazing.
I bought an Ioniq in 2018 and I ***LOVE*** it.
Just got one a 2 weeks ago. I love it.
Why is Android Auto always an afterthought for reviewers. 20% of smartphone users use Apple. The rest are Android
Best review!!!!!! I’ve seen! Sold me I’m going with the Hyundai over the Prius!!!! I still can’t get over the ugly box alien ship looking back of the the Prius! Lol
Talk about dull...that space ship stands out, only looking into the Hyundai for better mpg
Lot nicer than the prius.
No it's not...better interior, but the exterior sux
I like the looks of the Ioniq much better than the odd looking prius.
Saw my first Ionic on the street today, I must say I really liked the style overall.As for the new Prius I think it's a horrible looking wannabe space ship.Older people want a car to look like a car, Ionic does..................
U gotta be nuts to want your car to look like every other car next to you...I'm looking into the Hyundai for better mpg, but prefer that design of the space ship, cuz it stands out
@@brianleal87 You are one of the few nuts that like the style....
What’s the difference from sport to normal drive?
Wife has a Kia NIro that and the Ioniq are way better than the Prius, they drive better and look better. the materials are better.
Have you owned a Prius and put 100,000 miles on one?
The Prius braking is awful I think the Hyundai is better
I have just taken delivery of my Ioniq Hybrid and am very happy having found someone who can find his way about those b****y menus. Thanks .
I got an ioniq over Prius just based on looks.
This car looks way better than the 2016/2017 Prius. As a 2012 Prius owner, I really dislike the looks of the current Prius. However, Toyota is still king when it comes to long term reliability.
Hyundai is right up there with them in reliability tests nowadays. the massive amount of recalls for toyota a few years back really hurt them.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I think the Prius looks nicer.
How about the reliability? I’m really considering this.
totally isn't biased at all
Id be interested in seeing long term ownership numbers on fuel averages and maintenance costs. Im on my second prius, and would graduate to the camry or the rav4 hybrids knowing i would get great resale value and low maintenance or upkeep costs. If the Korean market is able to matchvthat awesome. However, after they lied about fuel economy in the past with other vehicles i do believe its a wait and see thing
Go check out the gas mileage website called "fuelly.com" for gas mileage entries by owners of all types and brand of vehicles.
I think there’s a nearly identical suitcase somewhere in my house
This is the perfect car who wants to use it such as Uber or lyft
ANYONE know any info on reliability, longevity Ioniq vs Prius, Hyundai vs Toyota....I gotta get me a car, these are my choices but I need it to last
Kelly Blue Book : The 2020 Ioniq Hybrid received a 4.4-Star Consumer Reliability Rating and an overall KBB® Consumer Rating of a 4.3. In contrast, the 2020 Prius received a 4.9-Star Consumer Reliability Rating and an overall KBB® Consumer Rating of a 4.7
@@Simon-ls8xf thank you for this info!! much appreciated!
I hope Ioniq hybrid car price will b reasonable in the range of 20000 usd to compete in the market .
I spend $50 in gas every 4 days lol.
ittotaq do you drive a lot?..
I use a tank and a half a week. That’s about $75 a week. I have a 100 mile round trip daily commute.
I have about a 45 mile round trip commute. I get gas about every 2 weeks. Average a little over 50 miles/gal. My old car barely got 25 miles/gal and I needed 1.5 tanks/week. Love my Ioniq. And it’s prettier than a Prius.
ittotaq You have something other than an Ioniq? $50/week for gas is either really expensive gas or almost 2 tank fulls (drive a lot).
At least it does not look like a fish
I think the best review on IONIQ! because I had all the same feelings. even tho other reviewers not seem to get it. A+++! to your review!
What are the safety features? It looked like no backup camera, the wing mirrors looked like they had a fisheye near the edge but I couldn't tell if there was a blind spot detector. Also the Prius has a radar (or other sensor) to keep a safe distance when using cruise control. Side sensors for prox warnings. Lane departure detectors: 1st a beep, then a steering assist to pull you back. A detector when you're weaving back and forth. Those thing are *very* valuable and are available on all trim levels.
Just an FYI: Toyota has put about 25 *thousand* hybrid related patents into the public domain to encourage hybrid development.
I have no idea why they're supporting trump in the CA clean air lawsuit.
The breaking on a Prius is bad
I had to give him a thumbs down I would actually give most car testers is thumbs down when it comes to testing economy cars because the one thing that all of them almost always fail to do is when they get the car they fail to fill it up with gas and drive it a hundred plus miles and fill it up again and say what their actual real world fuel economy was as well as comparing what the car's computer says it's getting fuel economy wise versus what its actual fuel economy is I would have really liked to have seen this guy say that his as-tested mileage was blank miles per gallon but I believe that this guy got the car and had any of the full tank of gas and he just drove around to see what it would be like as a normal consumer driving it like getting a rental car for a short stay somewhere where they needed a car this is why I like Consumer Reports versus pretty much anything else cuz Consumer Reports gets cars and has them for weeks even months sometimes years at a time for testing them short-term and long-term and they actually test with the actual fuel economy of the car is getting they don't just quote you a bunch of freaking numbers and then don't say what they actually got fuel economy wise and I don't trust what the cars computers say I have tested them to be as accurate as 25% off from what the actual real world fuel economy is.
Every trip computer I've tested that way is at least two mpg more than the calculated mileage at the pump.
I think they want drivers to think they're getting better mileage than they are.
When I fill up my ioniq (2017) I do the "math" I get my receipt I look to see how many miles I've driven since I filled up the car, get my calculator, divide the nbr. of gals i just put in into the range and that the nbr. I used to find my MPG for the thank. I too don't trust the on board computers/readout. My last non hybrid car was a Cruise, 2006, I bought a scangage, plugged it into my. I was getting my MPGs from it and not the on board ones. All I had to do is look at it and one screen told me Speed, real time mpgs, RPM, and avg mpgs. When I filled up I just reset the range info and ready to go at 0 again. It was always different from what the cars 'puter had, and my the way, I seen mid to upper 40s on the Cruise highway driving, Mid to upper 30s around town
Toyota is known for being very reliable and 'unbreakable', is that also the case with these Ioniqs?? I am saving up for an Auris (16/17) but I am now also doubting between that and an Ioniq... HELP
Shhhh.... don't tell... great car... mash between Honda Fit and Model S....
You'll catch me dead before I'm ever inside a Kia.
Then you must still be living like you're in the 1980's. Hahahaha.
Good one. Think that one up in the shower?
This is a Hyundai.
And you clearly know nothing of Kias, either.
What about Hyundai’s like this car is
He made mention of a Kia. He talked about Hyundai. Why would you criticise a Kia in a review of a Hyundai? No one cares. People want to see reviews and comments about the Hyundai, please. That is why people are watching a review about a Hyundai. Comments about the Hyundai, please.
My wife has an Ioniq and my Father in law owns a Prius, in 2020 my wifes Ioniq averaged 42 mpg in Las Vegas traffic and weather, The Prius averaged 53 mpg in those same conditions for 2020. Toyota wins, nice try Hyundai. My wife is a lead foot driver so they traded cars for 2 months and She still averaged 48 mpg with her aggressive driving in the Prius, so again Toyota wins.
Prius looks way modern and has a history of dependability. The Hyundai looks so boring with style that's 10 years old. On top of that Hyundai have bad reliability records for cars they've been making for years - this is not just a new model it is their first electric. Prius is a much better car.
Hybrids are the worst of both worlds , petrol engines are more thirsty when cold as well as carrying batteries and then the lost range of carrying a lump of aluminium in an electric car
Bro... look at the camera when your talking
