This, among a few other videos, helped me choose this car for my wife (retiring a 17 year old Prius). We tried really hard to justify a BEV but the numbers didn't make sense.
Anyway, my record is a 43 mile drive into Boston hitting 69.2mpg. My wife's commute to work she is getting 59-61. Can't complain. We were honestly kind of worried buying a Hyundai, but this thing is looking like it may actually have been the absolute best possible option for us in the current car buying climate.
Thank you for watching and congratulations! I hope you get years of fun and savings with your Ioniq. BTW numbers look pretty impressive!
From what I understand, the all electrics produce as much carbon as hybrids when electric source generation is figured in, at least until you get about 200k miles - at that point, all electrics pay off on the carbon footprint. But 200K is a long way to break even.
@@stephenbouchelle7706 Hello. I seriously considered a phev, or ev. The more I research the more I find the long term horrors of the rush to electrify for humanity, and the planet. The hazardous, toxic, and carcinogenic long term effects of these vehicles is being censored. To be informed requires seeking the truth, utilizing discernment, and critical thinking to arrive at a very concerning, and disappointing conclusion. I encourage doing research, and arriving at your own conclusion. To anyone who values their health, the health of others, and our planet for future generations here are some statistics with links that are a very small portion of research. Best regards.
To make 1 metric ton of lithium for electric car batteries creates 75 tons of acid waste, 1 ton of radioactive waste, and 500,000 gallons of water are used, polluted, and disposed of in countries without environmental protections, and regulations. As mining operations are required to dig deeper to reach the needed resources for phev's, ev's, and their batteries the worse the groundwater depletion, and contamination as well as the soil contamination becomes. There are entire communities of people that have been forced to abandon ancestral settlements due to environmental contamination, and degradation. The batteries are produced and disposed of where there is little oversight of the process in places like China, Africa, and South America where little is done to ensure the health, and safety of workers as well as the protection of the land, water, and atmosphere are not being polluted. Over 60% of America gets its electricity from burning fossil fuels. German science reported that the production of one model 3 battery releases 15 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. While electric car, and battery manufacturers are harming human health, exponentially contributing to environmental contamination, and degradation by creating tons of acid waste, polluted water, soil, air, and radioactive waste they are given carbon tax credits by the U.S. Federal Government which they then sell to car manufacturers such as Fiat that produce mostly fossil fuel cars. In a Delaware court both both General Motors and Fiat admitted to buying Carbon credits from Tesla that were authorized to be given to Tesla by Representatives of the Government of the United States. If you care to research you will find impeccably timed stock market trades made by those in positions of public trust coinciding with the Government contracts, and grants they create, negotiate, or authorize. Worse yet is that many of these contracts, and grants have been engineered, written, negotiated, and authorized to privatize profits, and socialize losses. EV's manufacturing, production, and operation does exponentially more damage to humans the land, air, and water then ICE.

Lithium and Cobalt mining contaminate the air, soil, and water. These minerals are mined in China, Africa, and South America where there is little if any oversight and protection for the environment, workers, and people who live in the area who witness dead fish, cattle, and wildlife as a result of the mining operations.
The details of how damaging this mineral mining is to the earth are kept out of sight in the interest of promoting electric vehicles as being better for the environment. Take into account all of the toxic materials in the on board computers, electronics, fluids, the tremendous amount of water consumed in the battery mineral mining process, and the fact that much of the electricity generated to charge electric cars is generated by burning fossil fuels. Electric cars need white oil (lithium) and black oil (fossil fuels) for their manufacturing, production, maintenance, and use. Then to hope for the environmentally responsible disposal of the toxic waste in the electronics, computers, fluids, and batteries.
Cobalt mining - both industrial and artisanal - has significant environmental impacts ranging from habitat destruction to water and air pollution. The neurological symptoms that occur with cobalt metal poisoning include: tremors, memory problems, fatigue, weakness or imbalance, mood alterations, sleep issues, pain, weight loss, executive dysfunction, blindness, other symptoms.

Lithium mining requires huge amounts of groundwater to pump out brines from drilled wells, and some estimates show that almost 2 million litres of water are needed to produce one ton of lithium.
In Chile’s Salar de Atacama, lithium and other mining activities consumed 65% of the water, causing groundwater depletion, soil contamination and other forms of environmental degradation, forcing local communities to abandon ancestral settlements.
As demand for lithium increases and production is tapped from deeper rock mines and brines, the challenges of mitigating environmental risk will increase.
Nearly 50% of world cobalt reserves are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which accounts for over two-thirds of global production of the mineral.
About 20% of cobalt sourced from the central African nation comes from artisanal mines, where some 40,000 children work in extremely dangerous conditions, according to UNICEF, the UN’s children's agency.
The dust from excavation may contain toxic metals including uranium that are linked to health problems such as respiration diseases and birth defects.
Cobalt mine sites may contain sulphur minerals that can generate sulfuric acid when exposed to air and water. This process, known as acid mine drainage, can devastate rivers, streams and aquatic life for hundreds of years.
A project, known as Lithium Americas, has drawn protests from members of a Native American Tribes, Ranchers, and Environmental groups because it is expected to use billions of gallons of precious ground water, potentially contaminating some of it for 300 years, while leaving behind a giant mound of waste.
Unsupportable IPCC claims based upon irresponsible science practices which were revealed in e-mail exchanges between climate researchers in the U.K.’s East Anglia University network. These communications provide clear evidence that leading global scientists intentionally manipulated data and suppressed legitimate opposing arguments in peer-reviewed journals. In some instances, collaborators were asked to delete and destroy incriminating e-mails rather than comply with legally-binding Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

@@stephenbouchelle7706 It depends what star you’re in, but in most states hybrid and electric cars put out less emissions even when taking into account manufacturing and the energy it takes to charge them. For California, it is undoubtedly better because we use a lot of solar panels.
This car stunned me on how good it is! I rented one for a business trip (completely by accident) and drove about 900+ miles on it and it was getting above 60mpg with AC on on auto the entire trip. In fact, when I submitted my expenses, our accounting audit thought I forgot to submit a receipt for gas. I have very little complaints about this except 1) the rear design looks a bit ugly; 2) the dark plastic on the infotainment unit is a huge fingerprint magnet, compounded by mostly capacitive touch controls; 3) the soft touch material on the dash was wasted, they should have use it on the door panel arm rest. I am an apartment dweller and it's nearly impossible to get electric charger, so this is the next best thing I can find on the market that is practical and green. This car is now number 1 on my list for my next car.
60 mpg! Thats great! Thank you for watching!
wish car tank was higher , 15 gallon !
we need new yaris hybrid in usa , about 80 85 mpg
@@protomatala180 The bigger the tank = more weight = less mpg.
Sport mode makes a good difference when driving in traffic. It mostly helps with acceleration from a standstill while providing a tighter steering feel.
All virtual enhancements
The is a efficiency super car….. just bought a blue model…..
Congratulations on your new car!
What fuel economy are you getting? I just got one too!
@@andyfma123 - avg is over 60 mpg….
@@jumperman1962 damn that good mpg👍
@@jumperman1962 Is that number from computer or you calculate from mileage divide by the gas filled up?
Spend the extra 2K and get the premium level trim. Lots of extra features for the money. Leather seating, 10.25" infotainment, added safety features, Bluelink, auto-folding mirrors, puddle lamps, and more. Having the moonroof panel open for the video would have helped the video driving experience for those watching? Except for the mention at the beginning of the video, I wouldn't know it existed. You can't get a moonroof/sunroof on the Prius AWD - even the top of the line XLE AWD. Stupid. AWD-e is the only reason I considered the Prius over the Ioniq. The more I read about the AWD-e limitations, the less it mattered. I tried both and bought the Ioniq. Rides better, better exterior styling (just about anything does, but Ionic in Amazon Grey looks damn good to me), better interior/info clusters (no annoying centered console), better tech features, real leather instead of Softex, more safety features, better warranty, and 0% financing. Sold.
Congrats!!
But prius is superior in quality. That ionic isn't going to survive the high miles like a prius. ESPECIALLY not gonna hold its value compared to it.
When you say premium level trim do you mean SEL or limited?
Thanks for info. Enjoy your ride bud😎
I just watched (and left early) the Hyundai review by “regular cars” website. Too much dumb humor, not enough information. Your video is what I was looking for. Lots of information clearly presented. Thanks. Even all electric vehicles are not zero emissions. Yes at the tail pipe, but electricity has to be generated, and so far most of it comes from coal and oil. The batteries are a concern. Are they worse than all gas engines?
Thank you so much!
The air intake at the front is not for cooling the brakes but to create an air curtain to improve aerodynamics!
That is correct, but dont they also affect the brake temperature?
@@MattTheCarguy that may be but still this isn't the reason for it and additional cooling isn't necessary for this car.
@@StanLibuda23 good point! 👍
Bought a 2022 IONIC Blue today and I’m looking forward to my commutes to work. With gas prices soaring the 60 MPG was too hard to pass up.
Only driven it a few times today and I’m liking it so far. I’m a little over 6 feet tall and it seems to be comfortable enough for me. Wasn’t looking for flashy or sporty but efficient.
I’m use to driving vehicles like RAM 1500’s. But I’m happy with this purchase. Maybe I’ll come back and update after I’ve driven it more.
Awesome and congrats! With the gas prices skyrocketing its a wise choice.....and of course update after a while.
My son bought this and he loves it !
Great choice.... especially with todays gas prices!
Why are these manufacturers building these new cars with No spare tire??? I think That’s insane. When your broken down on the side of the road with no spare, you will instantly regret the purchase of any car
Well, one explanation is that spare tire adds weight and therefore reduced gas mileage and its a neverwnding race which one will get better gas mileage. Many offer spare as an option then it does not affect their rating as it is not standard equipment. Also companies like Hyundai offer conplimentary roadside assistance so you can just call the number and hope that tow truck will arrice soon 😅
@@MattTheCarguy
Its not to save weight. It's to save money for the car manufacturers. Honestly, how much does a spare tire weigh and how much does your gas mileage increase because of no spare tire?
@@stephen5665 agree! There is some logic to it though, spare tires are usually about 40-50 pounds with the rim. It probably will not translate into much gas savings, but with the never-ending battle between manufacturers every MPG counts, especially with Hybrids so they can have "bragging" right for most fuel efficient vehicle. Personally I would rather have spare tire since I know how to change it and will be back on the road in no time.
Okay video, just an FYI focus more on the features rather than the performance. Hybrid buyers don't care about performance... I myself care about features such as autopilot, infotainment, cargo space...
Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks again for the information!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!!
Great vid Matt! Made me go out and buy one!
Thank you! Did you get one? How do you like it?
I am curious to know, once it is in hybrid mode, and you come to a stop, does the AC stop blowing cold air? I have a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid that only blew cold air when the gas engine was on and I am wondering if todays hybrids are the same?
The air will continue to blow. Many manufacturers will switch it to the eco mode to limit the output. They came a long way from the old hybrids
Any reliability issues, especially that transmission? Like, can this car survive to 185,000 miles without any major breakdowns?
Hopefully some owners will chime in on your question, but at least till 100k you are covered under warranty. I havent heard anything alarming on Ioniqs
@@MattTheCarguy There has been 2 youtuber who made it to 100,000 miles safely. Also most cases are fine, but there's been cases were the ioniq electronics would stiffer from bugs or transmission failure (mostly electronic issue), yet those are very rare cases.
@@MattTheCarguy I'd like to say that this is a car, so it's like span must be at least 300,000 km or 186,000 miles. It would be awesome to use all of it's life and juice before buying another one, especially that you're getting it for saving money.
I am really loving the Ioniq's lift back storage, but that's what I fear. Would've took the corolla hatchback but those don't exist in the US...
@@cheez5748 they do have Corolla Hatchbacks. Short supply but ypu can order one.
@@MattTheCarguy Really? I thought that was only in Europe, good to know!
I don't know how many times reviewers say it's not a sports car, yeah exactly because it's a hyper mileage car! Sports mode does give it more zip though. I had the 2019 Ioniq blue and l loved it, often getting 63 mpg. Gas prices are several dollars more per gallon than then, all the more reason to buy this car.
Unfortunately they discontinued it. Elantra Hybrid is the next best thing, but it doesn't get as good gas mileage.
Just ordered a 2022 model. Does it have parking sensors as standard?
I believe only Limited trim will have parking distance warning.
Better gas mileage but is it as reliable as a Toyota that’s what I’d like to know
It is rated pretty high as far as reliability. Its always good to read some of the owners reviews vs the magazinea as they are less biased. I havent heard of any major issues with this Ioniq. You also get the longest warranty with it.
Have you noticed on their website they say that the Blue version of this car which somehow gets better fuel efficiency doesn't have regen braking? I wonder how they got it to average more per mile when it won't regen the battery like a Tesla or the higher trim models.
I am not sure, I was under the impression that by removing some gadgets that draw power they are able to achieve better gas mileage. Plus it is slightly lighter than higher trims ( 36 pounds )
So when I was getting my 22 hybrid se with regen I was looking at the blue drive at first for the better mileage but I do like the heated seats. And other options it came with. I got hit with a massive markup as well. But the regen is better on the blue drive naturally with less draw from other components. I get pretty good mileage still. Get about max 61 and avg 50 ish.
I have a 2014 Sonata Hybrid and it has regenerative braking.
Why cant i find this car on their website? I only see the ioniq 5?
Wow, you are correct! They must have removed it. I know they are dropping it for 2023 because they want to expand on Ioniq5 but would think they will still keep the current model on their website.
@@MattTheCarguy i think its a great car for the price point. The ioniq 5 is nice but a bit outta budget me for
I would have liked to learned more about how paddles work
Plus= more regen, minus= less regen. Pretty easy
The difference between Eco mode and Sports mode is not something you evaluate when you're already at a set cruising speed. If you do a standing start in the two separate modes....then you'll see a huge difference in power and acceleration. The Sport mode isn't like having afterburners designed to rapidly take you from Mach 1 to Mach 2...(for example) It IS HOWEVER... capable of getting you off the line or up a gradient much quicker than when you're in Eco mode. If you need a burst of acceleration at lower speeds....then you'll get it from this car's sport mode. Once you've reached a cruising speed however, you may as well flip it back into Eco mode. If you want to overtake...Eco will still deliver the higher speed you may need....but Sports mode will deliver it just that bit more quickly.....aaaaaand back into Eco mode again. Simples!!
Having a sport mode in a non performance Hybrid vehicle is not as important. It does not do what most sport modes do as far as stiffening up the steering and suspension, opening up the exhaust and changing gear programming for transmission. That is what "real" sport modes were designed to do. In this case it is more of a "gimmick" but "sport mode" is not why you buy Ioniq. Its the fuel economy.
@@MattTheCarguy I'd totally agree that this mode has definitely been "misnamed" when you juxtapose it with the sports modes we find in cars of much greater spec and performance capability. As a point of useful "review" however, It ought to be stated that this "mode" (whatever one deems to call it) significantly enhances the Hyundai's "get-up-and-go" in situations where this may be needed....especially when accelerating across oncoming traffic into a turn-off (for example) Traditionally, a stick shift driver would increase their engine revs and try and get really good bite and traction to make sure the car gets clear of oncoming traffic (frogger style) as quickly as possible. In Eco-mode...the Hyundai doesn't really give you the kind of reassurance you need to get this move done quickly and safely....in it's "sport" mode however...you know you'll have the bite, power, traction to get the car clear safely.
There are one or two other scenarios where the Ioniq's "sports" mode really assists the driver to get out of trouble...so having that little blast of responsiveness and power is a really cool feature about this otherwise "sedate" car.
The "fun" range of the "sports" mode...(I'd argue) really only occurs on windy roads between the speeds of say 20-60 MPH tops... as it allows you to chuck it about a bit and the car's aero styling and lowish ride height makes it handle surprisingly well for an Eco vehicle...(tyre squeal notwithstanding if you push too hard)
Anyway...I'd call this mode something like "Acceleration Assist" if I were marketing this car in an entirely honest manner....and were it thus-named...I think it might rankle less with those who know what a thoroughbred "sports mode" ought to be delivering.
I don't think the actual "mode" and what it delivers is a gimmick (in its own right) I think it is mighty useful and adds ease, ability and value to the driving experience....it just ought to be called something else in order for it to avoid being seen as a grossly misleading feature.
For somebody scaling UP to a car like this...the so-called "sports" mode may be deemed a great performance thrill. For somebody used to the REAL, thoroughbred performance modes typically found within expensive, highly engineered speed demons....then the Ioniq's so called "sports" mode just won't impress...
Hence the reason IMHO...why this mode really ought to be re-named to reflect it's true abilities .....and limitations.
😀
@@donnietobasco9791 How about "eco", "boring" and "dynamic" lol?
@@MattTheCarguy Indeed...lol...but there's a lot to be said for knowing a car's target consumer. A car's marketers are always going to try and "pimp-up" it's features. If you were a 75-year-old guy....and you put a tracksuit and trainers on...you might argue that this is you in "sports mode"....and in many ways, you'd be absolutely correct. You'd still be a 75-year-old guy though...so it would be wise to keep ones expectations low....and not boast too loudly about you can actually accomplish in this "sports mode."
Best to limit things to a bit of light jogging and a couple of star jumps....

Yes it is.
Its very popular now! Thanks for watching!
Actually the transmission in the Prius is an e-CVT which is even more reliable than a manual transmission!! (They really aren’t a CVT, no gears.)
Good point. From what Iunderstand the eCVT stands for electronically controlled CVT transmission. Neither has gears. eCVT uses electric motor/ generators to control the speeds of planetary gearset components instead of belt and chains.

How much for this 2022 Hyundai hybrid 60 mpg please?
This parricular one had an MSRP of 30,710.00 . All equipment and pricing in the description of this video.Thanks for watching!
@@MattTheCarguy Thank you and Yw.
Why is the battery only insured to 36k mikes yet the rest of the drive train is 100k miles(I assume Hyundai’s warranty is the same as Kia, my rio 2021 s has a 100k mile warranty)
That seems a little bit suspect and those batteries are not cheap to replace for some reason even though they’re fairly small. Also the MSRP is a bit much IMO. It should be closer to 23k vs 30. The hybrid components are not that expensive to add and this car is realistically a 16-18k car without that.
Where did you get that info as far as warranty? On Hyundais website you can see Hybrid/Electric system components (incliding high voltage battery) are covered for 10/100k mikes and previously 17 and up Ioniqs came with lifetime hybrid battery replacement warranty ( unless you used it as livery) Standard battery might have 3/36 but that is same throughout industry. I just replaced my Honda battery right at 3 years.
As far as pricing, it is actually cheaper than Prius and about the same as Insight and Blue trim (most efficient) starts at 23,600 unless you opt in for higher trims. Thanks for watching!!

That’s not worth 10 plus more k
Still don't get regen braking adjustment or why ?
It’s pretty simple, it’s like driving a golf cart or bumper car. As soon as you let go of the accelerator it stops.
There’s no such thing as coasting down a hill in an EV. So they control how much you stop or slow down and use that to recharge the battery.
Drive a Prius and you will see, they haven’t changed much in 20 years. Tesla is the same thing.
The way Hyundai designed it though is much more like driving a car. You still don’t coast like in an internal combustion engine but it’s not totally different in EV mode either
Thanks for the explanation
all cars should have a spare tire imo...not all tire issues can be fixed,some times tires get destroyed after hitting something...

As far as batteries go I don't believe anyone has thought about what to do with them when they are no longer useful in a vehicle, the emissions emitted mining for the metals needed to create the battery or emissions created in the entire process of turning raw materials into a single cell and a single battery is made up of many cells. Now the power grid..... If you put an EV in everyone's home the grid would not handle it. California's grid can't even support their residents now. Rolling blackouts all summer. What are they going to do when they require residents to drive EV vehicles only. I like EV's but they are not the answer.
You know we can recycle batteries right? Like we aren't going to be dumping lithium ion in the ground because you're battery lost 90% capacity. We bring it to factory and reprocess it to be used in new battery. There is a initial mining but over time we should theoretically have enough batteries that can be recycled and used for future vehicles
Tesla claims 100% of their batteries are being recycled, which is great. The grid capacity is another issue. There are already reports of California grid overloads that can cause rolling blackouts. Unfortunately as far as the full EV market we are not ready for it.

I work in nissan and we have a hyundai dealer next door and i hear the horror stories from the service guys on a daily basis
@@seeingisbelieving879 i am not denying Toyota makes great cars but Hyundai has changed over the years. The future will show if they are as reliable as Toyotas or not. I have seen 300k plus on Sonatas, my brother in law has a Tucson nearing 200k. There have been issues with engines in the past. I worked at Hyundai myself for a couple years so I know. Toyotas are not as qualitu as they once were unfortunately. Even with the new initial quality study they did not make top 5. Just saying...
