Electronics fail over and over

I've had my 2020 Ioniq for a year and a half now, and I've had nothing but problems with the electronics. My infotainment system and backup camera have each been replaced twice already (the front proximity sensors also failed), and it's going in for service for another problem with the infotainment system in a couple of weeks. It's been in the shop half a dozen times or so and Hyundai is supposed to let me know this week about buying it back. I really do love this car. It's beautiful and it drives well, but has never gotten the EPA rated 55mpg; it hovers around 42mpg, which is what my 2008 Prius was getting when it was 12 years old (and that car was solid - no issues). It's a beautiful car, but one shouldn't have all these issue with a brand new vehicle. I may get a hybrid SUV, instead, but I'm reluctant to consider another Hyundai. I may even have trouble getting a [non-Hyundai] dealership to let me trade my Ioniq in because of the issues it's had (one already told me that), so Hyundai had better buy it back!

Replaced my Prius with this and glad I did

It’s got so much more than a Prius for so much less money, it was almost unbelievable. For one thing, it’s silent, because the body is glued like an airplane fuselage, not welded. So if slips through the air like no Toyota can. It’s also got more horses in a smaller engine, and it eats a bit less gas than the Prius. Pickup is good on streets and on the highway, and passing is smooth and sure. The lane keep assist is helpful and easy to disengage. The blind spot radar is incredibly helpful - I keep it on all the time. The backup camera and warning system are also very helpful, and a necessity not included on the Prius unless you upgrade two trim levels (or over five thousand dollars). The base audio package was quite excellent and required no upgrading either. The built-in satellite 🛰 radio and the airplanelike soundproofing makes for concert hall level sound production— it’s like like taking a drive in a Bruce Springsteen concert!!! (One year update) still running silent and smart! Not a problem in sight! Drives as good as it did the day I bought it!

Great ride but mpg is not realistic

First, if you get the chance find a Ioniq with the Ultimate package. The benefits of this package for $2000 is well worth it. Second, the 55+ mpg is not realistic. I average 48 and sometimes 52 mpg. The Prius is a more realistic value to mpg. Otherwise, the Ioniq is a great vehicle with a better ride and feel than the Elantra and even the Sonata. Last, I bought my car I found through edmunds.com and wanted to thank you for the research and help finding the best price. In fact, I was able to get the extended warranty and negotiate the price down below the suggested retail price! Thanks again for the help.

2020 Ionic hybrid

Im 5'5 and Seats are uncomfortable they don't support my back and push my head down. I have neck and back pain. Back windshield is to small and rounded it creates corner blind spots. Because of the corner blind spots when I first got the car I almost reversed into another car. The irony is my husband made me feel like u just needed to get used to the car. Well turns out months later he was reversing and he and another car crashed into each other. Again those corner blind spots. I told him you can't rely on cameras only now he believes me.

I'm trying my car but so far I'm having lots of fun. I leased because of the warranty, price and the possibility to change to a hybrid, and I'm in love with it. I'm having fun. Super safe car!
