Used 2017 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Stylish Gas Sipper that’s gonna save you $$
One thing about the Ioniq is the styling...it is was more conventional that its direct competition (the Prius). Bought a CPO SEL in Florida and I live in PA. Drove it up on I 95 and got over 56 mpg! Also the smart cruise control, lane departure and autonomous emergency braking make the car almost drive itself (just need input from the steering wheel). Definitely a car to consider if looking at hybrids and want the best bang for the buck!

Still great
I looked at this because Prius doesn’t have dual climate conttol. So for the same price as a Prius three with 15k more miles, this has leather, heated seats, blind spot detection, sunroof and Apple CarPlay. I only had one test drive of each car on different but similar stretches of road and highway. On the Ioniq, The acceleration was more responsive, steering was tighter and overall comfort, sound buffering and handling were much better. Over 70 the Prius felt a little less stable, the Hyundai feels secure and easily gets up to highway speeds and faster and without roaring noises and floor vibration, as was the case with the P3. For the 5+ thousand dollar premium you pay for Toyota reliability, you can buy an ext warranty for 1500 dollars in case anything actually goes wrong. But as far as I can tell the car that vibrates less should hold up longer. Maybe the p3 was not representative of the Prius line. But the Prius options and style did not match my needs as well anyway. Update:70k miles and runs great. Mpg 50-55. Paint holds up well. No repairs. I would buy another

A lot for a little!
We have owned this 2017 SEL for four months and couldn't be happier. We bought this used with about 12,500 miles on it, but looks brand new. The mileage is outstanding, consistently getting 55++ on the highway. A couple of times we averaged over 65 mpg! My wife and I are in our mid 70's and find the ride quite comfortable. Freeway onramp acceleration is quite satisfactory as well. We are easily at full speed when entering and merging with traffic. Though not at mach 3 when passing, we've had no problems with that, either. The ONLY issue I have had is that the car sits a bit low, making entering and exiting the vehicle a bit harder for me.

Fast fun long distance driving enjoyment
I was test driving Prius cars looking for a deal and none of the Toyota dealers would budge on the price. I found a 2 year old Prius Persona fully loaded for sale quite inexpensively at a Hyundai dealer and I was really tempted except for the 2 nasty "door ding" dents in the drivers side door. My OCDs would not permit me to buy a car with 2 dings in it. So the dealer asked me to try the Ioniq. More comfy, roomy cockpit, better instrumentation, faster, more nimble, more fun to drive, better mileage, lane departure warning, blind spot warning/detection, automatic emergency braking, power/heated seats, the list of stuff that I love about the Ioniq made me a believer. Within 4 months of purchase: I paid the car off and decided to keep her. 2 years later: she is still so fun to drive and I drive LONG distances between my 2 homes and various job sites with bumping Sirius XM (also standard on the SEL). I did get my first ticket at 96mph on Angeles Crest Highway. Honestly it didnt feel like I was going anywhere near that fast: I was gliding along and saw blue and red lights and pulled over to let the emergency vehicle go by and was quite surprised when he pulled behind me. Gotta watch these things; speed is effortless and the electric motor is silent, all that you hear is tires squealing until the gas engine kicks in. Even lead foot driving she gets me around 50mpg. I could get to around 57 if I granny it, but where is the fun in that? Enjoy the drive: especially when you have a car that wants to run.

Will NEVER buy another Hyundai
Don’t believe the mpg rating. Was lucky if it hit 43. Very cold blooded car. Does not drive well in rain or snow. Update: Got rid of this car as soon as we could. In the 2 months we had it, it Never got the mpg it was supposed to, plus it developed a loud rattle in the back. Will Never by another Hyundai after owning that thing.
