  • ( www.TFLcar.com ) Is the refreshed 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid a solid alternative to the Toyota Prius? This model sports an updated look, newer tech and an EPA-rated 55 MPG, all for just under $30,000 (with this fully-loaded Limited model). For those who want a more engaging drive, this Ioniq has one thing the Toyota Prius doesn't.

      Nope the technology is not even close. The technology is similar to thstvused in automatic transmission only without the number of clutches. If you really Want to know about the technology its available from the authority on hybrid and electric vehicles.

    Hey, just stumbled upon your review. I actually live in Korea and have been driving this car since August (it's considered the 2019 "new" version over here). Not sure what the "limited" trim would be compared to mine. They go by I, N, and Q over here. I got the N trim with every option except the roof and chrome interior.
    So the regen breaking is great and can really improve your fuel economy in the city. I nearly doubled my kl/L once I got some practice. It's a little less efficient than using the Smart Cruise with the GPS control since that let's the car decide based on the road/incline/route when to regen or speed up (not sure if that's a Korean exclusive thing) and will even change the speed based on the speed limit of the highway (eg. highway speed limit changes from 100 to 80kph, the car will slow down a few hundred meters before the 80kph zone and change the cruise set speed once you hit it).
    The interior is not as plain if you get the mood lighting which adds a bit of LED glow. It looks really nice and makes the interior feel a bit more premium. Also, two features I love but you didn't mention: The auto-hold button let's you take your foot off the break when you are at a red light and automatically engages the parking break after you turn off the car. The GPS directions will show up on your dash if you're using the multimedia GPS (not Android Auto or Apple Car Play) so you can see the next direction right above your speed.
    Finally, not sure if you just didn't mention it or didn't know, but those sounds the car makes in EV mode are supposed to be for pedestrians. The backup noise is pretty obviously a pedestrian warning but even the forward noise is there so people can hear the car a little better since most EV cars are pretty much silent. It's supposed to be a fake engine sound.
    Anyway, it's a great car but for the price (in the US) I'm not sure if it's worth it. It was actually a bit cheaper over here and pretty much tax free but without those benefits, most people might be better off getting something else.

    I test drove the ioniq, prius AWD, and niro today. The ioniq was heads and tells above the other two. I was shocked. The blue base trim with 15 inch tires glided over potholes and really was actually peppy to feed onto the 65 mph interstate. I wish it was as roomy as the Niro. It's only downside. But it's styling was by far the best of the three too. Super user friendly dash. Im really shocked at how much I want this car.

    I drive a KIA Niro LX HEV which has the exact same drivetrain as the Hyundai Ioniq, but the Niro has slightly more headroom and slightly more cargo space at the expense of slightly lower fuel economy.
    I have owned this Niro since December of 2018 when it was purchased brand new for $23k!! It now has 26,000 miles on it and it has averaged 50-54 mpg in town and approximately 42-44 on the highway. 60 mpg in the city is not too difficult to accomplish.
    The Niro also currently holds the record for the highest fuel economy averaged on a coast to coast trip of 76 mpg!!! If a Hyundai Ioniq was used instead it probably would have been over 80 mpg.

    The 2020 SEL trim is now the 2019 Limited. While the 2020 Limited is the 2019 Limited with the old tech package. The 2020 SE is the new sweet spot, it's the 2019 SEL plus Blue Link, but minus adaptive cruise control. For me, that may be a deal breaker as the jump from SE to SEL is $4K with the adaptive cruise control being the only feature that matters to me between the two.

  • @Kai-gj7mk
    @Kai-gj7mk Před 4 lety

    2 things - The car does drive in EV mode under slow speeds, typically under 35 km/hr (because who wants to use their gas looking for a parking spot right?). The sound is called VESS (Virtual Engine Sound System) by Hyundai terminology and meant to simulate an engine and used to inform pedestrians that there is a nearby vehicle. If you notice, the sound speed increases in 3 different levels and frequency and it can be manually adjusted via the central dash display but it cannot be turned off under NA law. Its a love hate feature. There is a fuse in the central hood fusebox that can disconnect this feature but I do not recommend you do it because it is also the same fuse for various ESC controllers.

      I can't say for the 2020, but the outgoing model was not very popular and in my area they sat on dealership lots for what seemed forever.
      Since the new model is much better looking, I would think these won't sit at dealers as long, but it has 2 things working against it:
      1.) The Toyota's reputation compared to Hyundai's.
      2.) Buyers are finding that Toyota, Honda, and Nissan also sell pretty good hybrid crossover vehicles which allows them to move out of a sedan/hatchback.

      I believe you are referencing to "Hold Back", but for most companies hold back is 3%...
      And Micah is right, the base Ioniq has a markup of around $500-$750.
      Then with holdback 3% of cost: $25,000 * 0.03 = $750, which dealers will likely not discount as they are also a business and need some business sense to sell a vehicle.
      In total, Hyundai's have about 2%-4% of mark up from cost to MSRP, which is probably the lowest on average in the industry.
      then 3% below cost in hold back.

    The Ioniq is great outside of one issue I've found.
    This thing is a snow magnet.
    It has very shallow wheel wells that very quickly get packed with snow, as well as the underside of the car. In the winters here in Minnesota, I have to clean out the wheel wells every time I stop or the build up starts to prevent turning.

    For a fully loaded car, $32k is ok. 54-55 mpg, great range(?), and "normal" refueling times-- that's my idea of high tech working without compromise. Of course, a performance version with a bigger electric motor and turbo and/or supercharged gas engine would be a buy for me. Like a better VW GTI S 6-sp would be ideal: great handling and performance when I want it, fuel efficient when driven normally, stealthy when you're not on the gas, good practical cargo space, moderate price, and FUN to drive. If Hyundai could do that with the Ioniq (a poor man's 918?)...I can only hope.

And a limited model hybrid is only 27k after rebate, which is significant larger on rear seat, better ride (multilink rear), comes with rear sunshade, ventilation seat, etc. for your need tho, you can get a Veloster N which will blow the GTI in dust.

  • @alexlewis303
    @alexlewis303 Před 2 lety +1

    I’ve owned one for about six months now and there were a couple things that you missed
    There’s a proximity sensor, six to be exact. Whether it is a curb or a person walking by your car the car will beep depending on the location and proximity of whatever is near it. I haven’t even remotely touched a single curb because each one of the sensors goes from a light yellow and normal tone being to a dark red and aggressive beeping
    As for the interior it is a little plan during the day but if you drive it at night under the touchscreen display where the AC controls are, as well as over the glove box just underneath that silver line on the dash there are some beautiful deep blue lights that come on when your headlights are on/at night . I picked up a cheap five dollar lights set in currently when my lights come on the dash as well as the floor glows a deep blue that is the same color as the display which also makes it look pretty futuristic
    There of course are also some small things like when you lock the car the side mirrors fold in, adaptive cruise control that gives you a great amount of distance between you and the car in front of you, Automatically Breaking before collision (has saved me twice from hitting something at night), as well as an eye-catching color change in your display before a collision that definitely gives you enough time to react, and I would say the last thing is the automatic highbeams if you’re driving at night. So as long as you have your headlights at two automatic you won’t have to worry about getting pulled over for having your highbeams on too close to somebody because the detection of any light a couple hundred feet in front of your car will automatically shut the highbeams off.
    With all that said yes I do use this car for Uber eats and DoorDash as well as for a courier service and after about 30,000 miles it looks like I’ve been averaging 54 miles per gallon. 560 mile range on a full tank.
    Honestly I think it feels a lot like the Elantra, just a lot more tech-based the way you would imagine a hybrid would be. It does feel a little small but to be honest if you drive aggressively it feels like a bullet in that sense. So far it is my favorite car and I’ll leave a list of the cars that I’ve had below (not really that impressive of a list)
    2005 Honda Accord
    2014 Nissan versa hatchback
    2017 Nissan Rogue
    2020 Mitsubishi Outlander
    2017 Toyota Corolla
    2019 Hyundai Elantra SEL

    • @imgabnun
      @imgabnun Před 4 měsíci

      It can do both. In eco mode, the speed change is slow in order to burn less fuel (be more efficient) and at the same time gets the help of the electric motor (like 30 more HP) giving a good amount of power overall. In sports mode it has no consideration for efficiency gives you all the power from both motors, so it "rev up and down" with throttle.

    I don't know what Tesla has to do with a HEV....
    Nevertheless I have the Niro PHEV and my brother the Ioniq PHEV. Powertrains are the same and the cars drive fairly similar the Niro a bit more to the comfort side of things.
    They can achieve 35 miles on a charge but thats max at 55 mph.
    They do have really good fuel economy runing in hybrid mode (when they are out of battery) higher 50's mpg are fairly easy to achieve. But they are fairly slow cars unless put in sports mode.
    And there really is no comparison to a Model 3 which I have as well - the cars couldn't be more different when it comes to driver experience.
    The model 3 is a spaceship the Ioniq/Niro are just practical, fuel efficient, well build cars with great warranty.

The first 25 miles is electric only, and even with it switches to hybrid, it gets 55 miles to the gallon. According to Toyota, you can get up to 640 miles on a single tank. My wife LOVES her car. Most days she doesn't have to use ANY gas. Every month I top of the gas tank, and it only takes about $5 to fill it back up after 30 days of use.

    As a LYFT driver, this is my car of choice. I do not have the fully loaded version extreme basic car.
    I agree with these guys it's a great car, BUT for ride share, 3 very disappointing (albiet just a personal pet peeves) 2 major drawbacks on the basic model - no internal hatchback release nor is the fob coated for hatchback release. The only way to open hatchback is by getting it of car and manually opening it. - as a rideshare driver, completely inconvenient. The third thing is the passenger side back seat belt is a pain. Where you latch the buckel in, is behind the shoulder strap of the middle seat. Completely hidden. AS A RIDESHARE driver, I have to instruct at least 15 out of the 20 rides a day that I do (ok on a very slow day) but a majority of my rides... Design flaw .
    Great car overwise, I get about 61 mpg if I'm driving lots on the freeway I get 57/58 mpg. On the average about 640 miles per 11 gal tank
    OH BIG TIP. if you exceed your speed limit by about 5mph then tap the break, it throws the engine into electric mode. - mostly if battery is 50% or greater. If on freeway and your using a lot of York (65 mph + or going up inclines or hills) you will either be in full gas or hybrid mode, but going down hills or driving Flats tap your break see if it kicks in to electric. Play with it though just occasionally tap your break and see if / when it goes to electric.
