I agree with edmunds that this is NOT a performance car. That being said, if you put it into sport mode it has plenty of “go” to get it moving at a decent clip. Fuel economy is unbelievable! We are getting around 650 miles per fill up. Seats are better than I thought they would be. Not luxury car seats, but not bad either. Our model doesn’t have all of the bells and whistles. We got this as a commuter car. We have taken it on one long distance trio, and had no regrets in doing so. Hyundai needs to advertise this car more than it does. At the moment it’s a hidden gem. Looks better than a Prius, and a lot cheaper too. BTW, the drive battery has an unlimited mileage and time for the original owner of the car.

Great value for a Hybrid vehicle

Great value for the standard options on the SEL model I owned a 2017 Prius and it was a great car better hybrid gauge layout better braking regeneration and great suspension the Ioniq on the other hand has a very rough suspension lots of road noise overall the car is great but it misses on a few things I paid 5k less for the Ioniq so just that alone is very impressive the Ioniq feels more like a sports car and is fun to drive except on rough Los Angeles roads another thing I wish it had was fog lights but other than that it's a great car but I'm only able to average roughly 47 mpg city

The best car I owned

This is a great car I really wanted the unlimited package with the limited trim and I finally got it, it's outstanding its not far behind or on par of usual luxury brand entry models, the electronic gearbox changes are a little bit rough sometimes but overall it's outstanding to withstand the los Angeles traffic, I drive almost on electric all the way thru the traffic, it's extremely efficient the acceleration to brake to regenerate ratio is outstanding, beware that you don't get the best juice in normal driving if you want better responsiveness and fast acceleration you have to use sport mide and you will be ok with the torque this baby generates, the intelligent cruise control is fantastic a little bit scary sometimes you have to get use and master the tactics haha, hyundai I love my hyundai!

Within the first 3 months of owning this brand new vehicle, I've had 3 major malfunctions. First, unexplained engine warning lights, second, unexplained flat tire. Then the water pump failed, was obviously defective to begin with, and corruded other parts. Hyundai didn't even have the parts in the United States to replace the defective ones. Took 2 days for a dealter in Baldwin, Missouri to look at car then 7 days to get it repaired. Auffenberg Hyundai in Cape Giradeau, Missouri said they would arrange for the vehicle to be transported to my home but reneged on their promise. This is my update at 7500 miles and about 9 months of owning this car. Gas mileage has gone from 55-60 mpg to 40-45 mpg. Now there's no technician at the Cape Giradeau Missouri dealership where I purchased who can work on this new car. For me more lies and failed commitments from Hyundai. From 3500 miles to 19500 miles, I've had no further problems, still get 55-60 miles per gallon in warm weather, 40-45 miles per gallon in cold weather. Since my last update, I've had no further problems. The lack of a spare tire is very concerning though as other people have documented with this car and others. I will never forget the despicable customer service I received from Hyundai during the first few months of ownership.

The best hybrid

I absolutely love my car. The IONIQ is the first car I’ve ever purchased on my own and I couldn’t have asked for a better car. The IONIQ gets the best gas mileage out of any hybrid and its somewhat cheaper than any other hybrid as well. It gets a combined 57 mpg and gets around 650 miles on a full tank. It gets better gas mileage than the Prius(it’s competitor) and also has way more features for the same/less price. I would also argue that it looks a lot better than the Prius as well, but that’s simply my own opinion. The 2019 IONIQ has so many features that I love: blind spot detection, lane assist, apple/android car play, and much more. Aside from other reviews, I would say the IONIQ is very comfortable to drive and has really good handling. It also has LOTS of cargo room, especially for a compact car. I would highly recommend this car to anyone who is thinking of buying a hybrid. Hyundai gives a lifetime warranty on the battery for their hybrid cars, in case anyone was ruling out a hybrid in fear of the battery going out. I thought about buying an IONIQ when they first came out in 2017 but never got around to it, but I finally bought one in 2019 and I’m so glad I did!!
