So far in rush hour traffic the base model has achieved 95mpg+ TWICE and the current average is 70mpg. LOVE THIS CAR!!! Ok, seeing how other reviews are more detailed maybe I should do the same. I had test driven a prius a few years back. I'm over 6 feet and I had room enough in the car but the front hood was so short I felt like I was in a SmartCar not feeling so smart. When I read about the Ioniq earlier in the year, I was impressed because it just a little shorter than the Elantra. The only problem I had with the car was FINDING one. There were maybe 6 within 30 miles but most of them were the SEL or EV. I found one base and bought it within a few weeks. The front was roomy with quite a few storage options. The display was similar to the Sonata and in a few cases better (AndroidAuto). Of course we had the customary 3 months of XM radio. There was no spare which I understand but the dealer offered a tire replacement service for a few bucks/month. This is my first hybrid and they're a great balance between performance and economy. I put the car in sport mode a few times and it just FLIES. Hyundai employee pricing promotion saved me about $5,000 PRO: Lifetime warranty on battery. That will probably save me a few thousand, AutoAndroid, button locks on doors on driver and passenger side (requires key) CON: No spare, no digital fuel guage, center display could be an inch closer (34 inch arms and I still have to reach)

With the Prius the car felt clumsy in tight turns and with the Ioniq it feels natural in tight corners. The mileage has slipped on my Ioniq and this will be the first tank below 50MPG which sucks. After almost a year I would give the same exact review as I did before but the milage is averaging about 53MPG now

Far better than expected all around

I was interested in this for the good gas mileage and reasonable price. I was blown away with the value. It's got all the modern bells and whistles and it drives great. Much better pep than I expected. Considering the efficiency, the amount of interior and trunk space is amazing. Hyundai is hungry and looking to compete, and they are bringing their "A" game for sure. I've put about 450 miles on the car already, and according to the dashboard I still have more than 200 miles left before I need to fill the tank. It says I am averaging over 60 mpg and I think it is correct. I just can't get over the value, really couldn't be happier so far.

My first impression of this car, was a very good one, I have been a loyal Toyota customer for years, but Toyota styling has not easy on the eyes, Plus Prius is thousands of dollars more. Finally someone has beat Toyota at their own game, this car has so many standard features like keyless ignition, Satellite radio, and fantastic mileage that actually beats Toyota Prius, 57mpg City, and 59 highway. Have been looking for months, and found a 2017 certified ionic blue for an amazing price thank you superior Hyundai Conway, for treating me so well, no pressure, dealership, straightforward and I would recommend this dealer to anyone. So far my first tank, I average 63 miles per gallon, and yes I am a previous previous previous owner.

I bought a 2017 Ioniq - first one sold in New Mexico. Two years later this car stopped working. Literally STOPPED working. It has been in and out of the shop for over 4 months. They have replaced everything and have no idea what’s wrong with it. I have a case manager with the national office who essentially said all they could do is pay for my rental. Most recently, the car was in the shop for almost a month. I drove it to dinner and back and it almost broke down on the way home. While driving it shuts down. That’s right... imagine driving in a busy street and your car just shuts off! Completely unsafe. It’s a miracle I haven’t been in an accident. I’m terrified to drive it. I can’t take the highway. This car is terrible. I bought it new and two years later it isn’t drivable. I still owe 15K on the car and Hyundai doesn’t care. This is the worst financial decision I’ve ever made. Please please please do not buy this car. Hyundai does not stand behind their vehicles and in no way do I feel valued as a customer. Not to mention, one day I will stall in the middle of an intersection (again) and this time one of the other drivers won’t be able stop. I hope my family holds Hyundai responsible. Save yourself, save a friend, buy any other vehicle from any other manufacturer.
