Quite a good review. A little bit to add on to the review from the owner of the Ioniq HEV+: 1) Average fuel consumption = 21KM/L after 7K mileage of usage, including city driving and frequent long distance driving by PLUS highway, longest distance for now is from KL to Ipoh. Highway speed of 110-140KM/H, hilly city roads mostly. Do get to know their drive chain patterns on the official webpage (combination of petrol engine and electrical motor under which road condition) to understand the effect on the fuel efficiency. Hill climbing (even a not so steep angle) will require the petrol engine to pump in the power, so if your driving area are hilly (PJ/southern KL area/Puchong) then don't expect the fuel consumption to meet the official number. It can still run on electric motor at 80km/h on highways if the road is flat enough. Don't expect fuel saving if run on Smart Cruise Control on highway, as it will accelerate with high rev to reach your set speed if the slow car in front of you switch lane or you intent to over take the slow car with the feature on. That's how the Smart Cruise control works anyway. 2) The Smart Cruise Control (aka adaptive cruise control) is available and useful during heavy rains on highway, along with the Lane Keeping Assist feature. You will be able to keep in lane and constant distance from the front car when the vision is terrible during heavy downpours without hassle. 3) The side LED lights are the day-time running lights. 4) Auto lights sensor and rain sensor are available. Can be switch on or turn off depends on your preference. It is quite useful and annoying at the same time for some people. 5) Rear seats - should be PU leather instead of genuine leather (by the feels of it and the price tag). It is flat enough to squeeze in 3 person, normal size by average height of 160cm - 170cm, as compare to Civic which actually have a semi-bucket feels for the rear seats - comfortable for 2 person but not 3. Those at the side will feels the side of their back laying on the edge of the cushion when there is 3rd person in the middle (for the Civic), which might feels uncomfortable for long distance. As for the Ioniq, the flat back support (due to the 40-60 fold-able feature) will be a bit more comfortable for 3 person sitting compare to Civic. And the rear seat is higher due to the battery for the electric motor underneath - which makes it a good seat level for elderly to get in and out and sit comfortably without bending too much on the knees. Civic has a lower rear seat level, which sits more comfortably but might be a bit hard for elderly to move in and out if they have a weak knees. (Civic has the largest interior space anyway for C-segment cars, undoubtedly) 6) Rear air vent - just nice with the flat flush design without any cup holder/compartment, which won't be useful anyway if there is people sitting in the middle. Be mindful that the air vent requires some space for the air ducting to channel the cool air, hence they just make it flat to maximize the volume required for the efficient air flow to the rear. It is better than their Elantra 1.8 where they have to fit in the rear air vent into the tight rear seat space and make it hard for young adults to move in and out from the center rear seat. At least the legs won't get stuck by the rear air vent for the Ioniq with the flat flush design approach. 7) The door soft plastic feels just right, even feels better than the Vios to say. Of course not to mention the local cars of the twin P. 8) The acceleration/pedal respond is better than Prius. Driven the Prius of my ex-boss and compare it to the Ioniq DCT, Ioniq feels more responsive. At least it picks up faster than Prius off the green light (of course still slow if compare to non-hybrid cars). 9) Tire pressure monitor - notice those not-so-fancy rims? It is for the tire pressure sensors. Good for those who not really checking on the tire pressure frequently. Like me. :) Overall a good buy if you are looking at a fuel efficient car. Hybrid with that price tag is no where to find in Malaysia nowadays, even the Prius back then before the tax exemption removed was >140K (well, it is a CBU compare to the Ioniq of SKD - partially local assembly according to the salesman). All in all, the price tag worth what it gives with the features available and the warranties/service package for the car. And my friend's impression, an automobile enthusiast on the first look of the car during night time: the front lights look like an Audi while the rear lights, particularly, look like Aston Martin. Well, it's a "Hybrid" anyway, isn't it?
Jackie Wong well it's like choosing between the Civic 1.8S and the 1.5T, which one will u go for? My thought on the HEV and HEV+: if u consider only the HEV, why not go for City? As per Bobby's review, the car not much different from the B-segment City if not of the other features. Ioniq selling point actually is the extra features in the HEV+, which will only be available in premium car brand and model. Hope that gives u some thoughts.
Nirmal Umar most of your questions have to be answer by the sales rep I suppose. :) Anyway I'll try to give u some reference: 1) car battery warranty: not sure about the warranty renewal upon battery change. I never thought of that actually, as I plan to change car once the battery warranty ends at the 8th year. .By that time, we never know how will the battery tech will evolve and the current battery might not be efficient/worth of changing. 2) synthetic oil 3)my experience as shared in the comment. Cabin is silence, u won't notice the car start up after u push the button. The only noise is from the tires, but that is minimal. No noise from the engine bay, unless u rev high in sport mode. Test drive one if u have the opportunity. 4) 2nd batch? What u mean? 2nd gen Ioniq? Not so soon I guess. They are launching the new Elantra, u may wanna look into it. Got turbo version to challenge Civic. More HP than Civic Turbo and the price is convincing. If u change from a B segment to C segment, u might wanna keep the money n skip Ioniq. I'm actually switching from a Saga BLM to Ioniq, so consider satisfy with the switch. It is better than Vios in many aspects as I'm driving my wife's Vios on weekdays and the Ioniq on weekends, so can actually experience the differences in deep.
I have owned my Ioniq Hybrid for 2 weeks now and its absolutely awesome. great on fuel, lovely sport mode, modern sporty looks, the ladies are impressed too.
Got the Hyundai hybrid Premium SE model recently. (2018 -UK) Loving it. Easily the best car I have ever had. Early days but averaging 62 mpg although I did have it in the sport mode a few times which makes it feel a different car again. 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.
Bobby you should try the smart cruise control, it will brake by itself if the car in front of you slow down and accelerate again when the car in front move faster.
About the leather seat. The rear passenger seat more like a PU and the front feel like a soft leather. CKD version have a different leather material than the international hyundai market. So this is decision made by hyundai malaysia.
Great review Bobby. I am receiving a lease Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid in January and cannot wait. If the PHEV had 50 mile range then I would have chosen that, but 24 miles real world range wouldn't cover my daily needs so the cost benefit didn't quite make sense. The lease is 4 years, by that time either electric version will be significantly cheaper or PHEVs will have much better range, exciting times ahead 😀
Great review with loads of information. My Tucson also has blue lighting and you get used to it fairly quickly. Passengers are amazed at how the blue looks at night. Very premium car.
Andrew K, Northern Ireland well in Malaysia we dont.Cause you live in Ireland right?Here's at thing,here in Malaysia,we always will not get much spec on cars like other countries.
Hello Clarence Cloe, yes from Northern Ireland. I appreciate that specs differ between countries but so hard to keep up with differences! I like the interior of my car especially at night. Looks so classy. Great review.
Based on performance, it is better than city a lot. First is on battery, 2nd is the noise, ioniq is more silent compare with Honda city. Honda city hybrid not silent enough.
Actually in this price point, there are safety features which u don't get in the bmw 3 series. This might be the car which is like a younger brother for all the 5 series and other premium cars, just with less engine power.
24:22 the exterior is what they call a Kammback profile. and has been around long before the Insight 1st gen. It is designed to reduce drag. Try wiki it.
+Dares Ng thanks! Well its a 'shortcut' to reduce drag because the A4 has lower drag than many hybrids with this profile. But thanks for pointing out! I'll wiki and learn more!
Indeed Kammback is just one of many ways to reduce drag. Nice review, btw. I was surprised that the Ioniq has active lane keep assist, and at that price point!
C segment size car. The car is wider than civic and although this car is a fastback car the car is actually longer than honda city sedan But yes the interior space more like a b segment car especially at the rear seat. Because the battery is actually under the rear passenger seat.
+athlon fx i learn about the exterior dimensions as well, but inconclude my review with th3 car's internal available space. :) it's a very good car still
Love your review! Good job! I was considering Ionic last time but after I saw your Honda Civic review, I bought the Civic instead. But both are great car anyway...
Another good in depth review, I try not to miss any review from you. I have a question if you don't mind. How well do you think this car in term of fuel efficiency if I drive let say 80% on highway with the speed of 110 to 120 km/h daily and 20% city driving. Do you still get the low fuel consumption in city driving or hybrid mechanics of the car rarely kick in hence it's just like a non hybrid drive?
+Jeremiah Giam you can search through my channel too, from aston martin rapides to be bentaygas to the new panameras, i've driven them all. :) i eveb explain how turbos work :)
Bobby Ang i have subscribed to your chanel i think 1 month back, and i have watched most of your review since and even traced back the old ones that u did! thats how much i enjoyed your review, love your enthusiasm! will continue to support you!
the touch screen works very well with my iphone and Apple music, displaying the album artwork and listing playlists and songs. You get more iPod control on the touch screen when plugged in via the USB port compared to connected on Bluetooth only.
salute that you took OKR -> Kuchai Lama -> NPE -> Sunway (Pay 2 toll)... when you can just use OKR -> NPE -> Sunway (Pay 1 toll) ... just to make the video longer..
I wish that next time you could do a walk around of the interior and the exterior of the car before you drive the car. It could give you a better understanding of the car so what you said during the drive is more on point rather than repetitive/having to correct things after the drive. :)
Hi bobby. Currently I’m driving with forte 2.0 6 speed. I’m still consider this car after so so Long time. I’m wondering is this car can able drive like forte ? Is the power output able to catch-up my forte ? Due to the torque is higher then my forte. But HP is lower then forte. So will they just feel same?
Great review, Bobby. I would appreciate very much if you could share more information re the fuel consumption of this car considering that it is a hybrid. In fact, how about telling us more about fuel consumption of the cars you test in future?
Hi Bobby, what would you advice on the cost of battery and maintenance of a hybrid car, in long term? (eg. Replacement after warranty, inverter issues, etc).
Dear Bobby... Still couldn't manage to review the Subaru Forester.... My VW saleman chasing me already.. I'm still halves between Tiguan and Forester.. Hope you will review the Subaru soon... Thousand thanks...
hi Bobby, i've been enjoyed watching ur review videos recently~ very practical and honest.. wondering if you get a chance to do one for the BMW X1 F48 :-) no video review in Msia yet
Hi, anybody can update about the car in 2023? Particularly in the hybrid battery department, is still ok or there are cues here and there that suggest it should be changed. I'm interested to buy a used 2018 Ioniq Hybrid. Trying to gather some infos. Thanks in advance.
nice in depth review bobby... thanks ... but the conclusion is rather out of context when u compare this ioniq against the city.. give a wrong impression that city has all the tech this car has just because they're about the same price... when we all know that the safety feature on this car is better than a half million ringgit luxury cars.. i was hoping that u were going to compare this ioniq with prius or. any other hybrid car not only in tech n driveability but pricing... say i am interested in hybrid car and now i have to choose between the expansive prius or this ioniq.. which one should i choose? which one is a better buy? thanks
I like how you were surprised by the car's acceleration after the tol! Hahaha what's the displacement of this car? Perhaps the dct is well tuned as well..
the low spec, because those are the things you use daily. as for the 7 inch digital 'infotainment' screen, it's utter crap so i'll buy and throw that away even if i;m going for the plus ...
I had done a test drive... With a preconceived mindset that it would be like or better than a civic.... And as you can imagine... I was disappointed.... 😀... No surprise there... What i liked was the engine response in sports mode and the speedometer cluster... Space... B segment.. Handling... City/persona would be better.... The added features... Nothing can beat it but i wish if it was a bit bigger....
+Thayanand Palanisamy the Koreans at this price point is one size larger than the others. CRV is not recommended anymore because new one is on the way very soon. Tiguan has high tech interior gadgetry, nice to drive and comfortable. New CX5 is arriving soon, a very promising car that looks absolutely amazing and high quality interior.
Bobby, just a head's up. Ioniq actually does have adaptive cruise control like the Volvo. Roda Pusing guys tested this on their review, you can check it out here: czcams.com/video/wWwdpxU0aW0/video.htmlm15s . It starts at the 11:15 mark
I hope u can make special review cheapest car such bezza or persona especially for who want buy first car after graduating..mybe to you it sucks car or you hate it..at least you can give hint to us to find 1st car..
It was all good until you started showing close-ups of the door panel and the leather seat, to be honest they look very cheaply made even in that price range. That part when you knocked the middle compartment, the hard plastic sound cringed me so much. Not exactly sure who Hyundai is trying to target here, it's fuel saving but it's not practical enough for a family due to its limited space. I agree that the lane-assist may be helpful if you are on a long distance drive but it would most probably be more annoying than helpful when you drive in city. With the futuristic design elements and the fancy technologies maybe the young drivers would be interested, but within the same price range I find it hard to imagine anyone wouldn't choose a Mazda 3 over this if they want a car that looks and drives good.
+James Riden the thing is in Malaysia, we have tax incentives for locally assembled energy efficient vehicles. Mazda 3 and Civic retails about RM130k while the Hyundai Ioniq is around RM100k; so there's a big difference in pricing.
You may consider Ioniq as b seg car unless you consider Mazda 3 as a B as well...Mazda 3 is even more tiny compare to Vios..it is quite sad that you compare Ioniq with city..
how much has Hyundai paid u? I know you like this car so much, but u keep praising like there is no other car could come to close. Even your other videos are not like that.

+Brandon Chin, do you think the HEV is still worth buying compared to the HEV plus with the extra features?

I have owned my Ioniq Hybrid for 2 weeks now and its absolutely awesome. great on fuel, lovely sport mode, modern sporty looks, the ladies are impressed too.
+Carleone A i'm very impressed with the way it drives and its fit and finish, just wished if it could be slightly larger.
Hi, how was the car now? Would like to know more.
Carleone, What's the warranty like ? How's it after a year.?
Hi, how do you rate the NVH of this car?
Very good for what it is priced at. Better than rhe Elantra in fact.
Excellent review and probably the best, most in depth review I have seen lately, keep up the good work.
+Philip Jones thank you! Have a good day!

Second view at this review
What I really like is the fastback design. It gives sedan and hatchback boot open up
Got the Hyundai hybrid Premium SE model recently. (2018 -UK) Loving it. Easily the best car I have ever had. Early days but averaging 62 mpg although I did have it in the sport mode a few times which makes it feel a different car again. 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.
Bobby you should try the smart cruise control, it will brake by itself if the car in front of you slow down and accelerate again when the car in front move faster.
very good job Bobby! Your are the only car reviewer that post videos faster than I could watch it on time!
hahaha~ cos if i don't clear them my HDD will explode ... lol
Thx Bobby for finally reviewing Ioniq haha 👌 GREAT JOB DUDE. And thx for your hardwork for doing 3 or 4 language review.
thanks mate. was just wondering about all those who can't understand or doesnt natively speak english
This was the 1st video I watched from bobby, time flies.
About the leather seat. The rear passenger seat more like a PU and the front feel like a soft leather. CKD version have a different leather material than the international hyundai market. So this is decision made by hyundai malaysia.

Such an honest review, Bobbie! Thank you!
24:22 the exterior is what they call a Kammback profile. and has been around long before the Insight 1st gen. It is designed to reduce drag. Try wiki it.
+Dares Ng thanks! Well its a 'shortcut' to reduce drag because the A4 has lower drag than many hybrids with this profile. But thanks for pointing out! I'll wiki and learn more!
Indeed Kammback is just one of many ways to reduce drag.
Nice review, btw. I was surprised that the Ioniq has active lane keep assist, and at that price point!

Do you still get the low fuel consumption in city driving or hybrid mechanics of the car rarely kick in hence it's just like a non hybrid drive?
i owned an ioniq. yes, it was a very very nice car. u should try their sport mode, try also ACC with LKAS, totally insane
luv it for 4 months now, i'm a toyota owner too but this car is full of surprises. great great buy.
The Honda City was the same price here in Trinidad and Tobago, however it was much less impressive than the Ioniq.
Really down to earth review! Honest. Subbed and turned on notification
+Kent Hoong thanks!
really enjoyed your review.. excellent job bobby! looking forward for more reviews

really enjoy yr reviews..many times i mention..great!
lol, uploaded at 2am+. so hardworking wei
Hi bobby. Currently I’m driving with forte 2.0 6 speed. I’m still consider this car after so so Long time. I’m wondering is this car can able drive like forte ?
Is the power output able to catch-up my forte ? Due to the torque is higher then my forte. But HP is lower then forte. So will they just feel same?
Thanks for the review. Like the casual and natural review style.
Just want to inform you , im the latest owner for this car. ✌🏻same no plat
Can I have a ride? 🤨
Great review, Bobby. I would appreciate very much if you could share more information re the fuel consumption of this car considering that it is a hybrid. In fact, how about telling us more about fuel consumption of the cars you test in future?
Hi Bobby, Great reviews.. Keep it up. Can you do one for Nissan X trail please..
love your review bro, honest and straight forward...and no one hate u...haha
Hi Bobby, what would you advice on the cost of battery and maintenance of a hybrid car, in long term? (eg. Replacement after warranty, inverter issues, etc).
Dear Bobby... Still couldn't manage to review the Subaru Forester.... My VW saleman chasing me already.. I'm still halves between Tiguan and Forester.. Hope you will review the Subaru soon... Thousand thanks...
+Hdj Bdj i'm sorry as i've been trying to arrange for it ... you looking at which spec?
+Forever L my pick is still the CX5.
You rajin upload, so I kiasu rajin watch!

Hi Bobby. Please do mazda mx5 review. I heard its one of the best sports car designed
Excellent review. Very detailed and well-balanced! 👍
hi Bobby, i've been enjoyed watching ur review videos recently~ very practical and honest.. wondering if you get a chance to do one for the BMW X1 F48 :-) no video review in Msia yet

Hi, anybody can update about the car in 2023? Particularly in the hybrid battery department, is still ok or there are cues here and there that suggest it should be changed. I'm interested to buy a used 2018 Ioniq Hybrid. Trying to gather some infos. Thanks in advance.

thanks for the video bobby? really appreciate it very much.
nice in depth review bobby... thanks ... but the conclusion is rather out of context when u compare this ioniq against the city.. give a wrong impression that city has all the tech this car has just because they're about the same price... when we all know that the safety feature on this car is better than a half million ringgit luxury cars.. i was hoping that u were going to compare this ioniq with prius or. any other hybrid car not only in tech n driveability but pricing... say i am interested in hybrid car and now i have to choose between the expansive prius or this ioniq.. which one should i choose? which one is a better buy? thanks
Good review pal..... totally love it
You forgot to review the sound system….
It does have two memory settings for the driver seat actually.
I like how you were surprised by the car's acceleration after the tol! Hahaha what's the displacement of this car? Perhaps the dct is well tuned as well..
Bobby, are you going to do a review for the Hyundai Sonata?
+Guheshvara Vadivelu when i get the car of course i will
22:50 walkaround start
great review,love the details given.
You missed to review the autonomous emergency braking, etc safety features in the Plus variant
Great job, I enjoyed this.
Great review.
My future car 👍
Which is the better buy? High specs or low specs? Tks
the low spec, because those are the things you use daily. as for the 7 inch digital 'infotainment' screen, it's utter crap so i'll buy and throw that away even if i;m going for the plus ...
I had done a test drive... With a preconceived mindset that it would be like or better than a civic.... And as you can imagine... I was disappointed.... 😀... No surprise there... What i liked was the engine response in sports mode and the speedometer cluster... Space... B segment.. Handling... City/persona would be better.... The added features... Nothing can beat it but i wish if it was a bit bigger....
+Neo yupe, i think you conclude it the same way i did. :)
Bobby Ang indeed...
They dont handle better. But for what it is, they're larger
Hi Bobby, is this car better in term of performance or the mazda2 better?
Bobby in your opinion between city hybrid, jazz hybrid and ioniq. Which one is your choice n money wise. Your opinion is much appreciated.
Ioniq is the better car all round. Apart from rear head room.
@Bobby Ang
Please do review 2017 Hyundai Grand Starex Royale. Thanx
Bobby please do a review on the 2018 cerato k3 face-lift version, is it the same as the 2017 cerato?
Bobby. Please do a review on the new Toyota Wish. PLEASE
now review the Honda City 😂
Thanks for the sharing.
thanks!
good job bobby
Hi can you review the new proton saga ? thank you mate
But too bad malaysian version got a very boring HU. No android auto or apple car play as international version. But everything else is very awesome.
+athlon fx yeah, but i think it's replaceable. As in, buy and throw the unit away and get something else
Bobby Ang most buyers won't do that for fear of voiding the warranty...
i take the car in my list for after 5 year.
Bobby, which SUV u can recommend in the price range of RM170K? Tiguan,Hyundai Santa,Kia Sorento or CRV 2.4?
+Thayanand Palanisamy the Koreans at this price point is one size larger than the others. CRV is not recommended anymore because new one is on the way very soon. Tiguan has high tech interior gadgetry, nice to drive and comfortable. New CX5 is arriving soon, a very promising car that looks absolutely amazing and high quality interior.
OK steady. good review
In Malaysia, using a hybrid car, is it expensive? high maintenance?
Bobby, just a head's up. Ioniq actually does have adaptive cruise control like the Volvo. Roda Pusing guys tested this on their review, you can check it out here: czcams.com/video/wWwdpxU0aW0/video.htmlm15s . It starts at the 11:15 mark
I missed faber tower so much lols. Btw bro how far can the car runs on battery mode if run on light pedal?
You parked until very closed to the pole???
I hope u can make special review cheapest car such bezza or persona especially for who want buy first car after graduating..mybe to you it sucks car or you hate it..at least you can give hint to us to find 1st car..
First car? Dont buy bezza or persona, buy used inspira
Reasons?
Bobby, can try on the new C class with 9 speed Getronics?
Wow... parking so close to that pole... few cm to scratch... I'm gonna mad!!
Quick question. New jazz hybrid or ioniq?
sub'ed for the primary science lessons
please do a cerato k3 review
Honda city hybrid doesn't come with spare tyre rite?
Is this car driven as taxi in Singapore? 😱
Calvin Wong haha yes
Is Hyundai giving a lifetime warranty on the battery over here in Malaysia ?
Semut Gatal should be 8 years for the battery in malaysia
so steering collection is not full functioning
planning to buy a hybrid car between the new honda jazz or this one??
+izan salleh jazz is my pick
Bobby Ang that is what most of my friends think.
This is a hybrid. You should at least test out the fuel consumption on city driving as well as highway.
+Sean Chung i dont want to because by default it will be fuel efficient :p i believe driving it like normal will be more 'real' haha
hyundai elantra review,please
How much is the mpg?
nice.bro..
Bobby where you stay
It was all good until you started showing close-ups of the door panel and the leather seat, to be honest they look very cheaply made even in that price range. That part when you knocked the middle compartment, the hard plastic sound cringed me so much.
Not exactly sure who Hyundai is trying to target here, it's fuel saving but it's not practical enough for a family due to its limited space. I agree that the lane-assist may be helpful if you are on a long distance drive but it would most probably be more annoying than helpful when you drive in city. With the futuristic design elements and the fancy technologies maybe the young drivers would be interested, but within the same price range I find it hard to imagine anyone wouldn't choose a Mazda 3 over this if they want a car that looks and drives good.
+James Riden the thing is in Malaysia, we have tax incentives for locally assembled energy efficient vehicles. Mazda 3 and Civic retails about RM130k while the Hyundai Ioniq is around RM100k; so there's a big difference in pricing.
hi Bobby.
if u were me, which one will u buy.
ioniq or civic..
thanks mate. 😀
+mohd afiq zabidi Covic
+mohd afiq zabidi civic
haha. thanks bro.
😁
Bought this car today becos of this review, TQ Chow from Ara DAMANSARA BMW used car division
Hey Eric.. I'm planning to buy used unit too.. How is your car now? Worth buy?
elantra sport pleaseeeee
You may consider Ioniq as b seg car unless you consider Mazda 3 as a B as well...Mazda 3 is even more tiny compare to Vios..it is quite sad that you compare Ioniq with city..
higher spec Honda city? Honda city is smaller !
+ah tan smaller exterior bigger inside .... bigger boot bigger space
Bro izzit seat is comfortable
how much has Hyundai paid u? I know you like this car so much, but u keep praising like there is no other car could come to close. Even your other videos are not like that.
+Lalla Yyrye because it's good. But at the end i said a Honda City is better.
the videos you make a wayyyy too long.
The interior looks FUGLY & CHEAP
