Used 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Consumer Reviews
Great, but...
I bought a fully loaded Limited model in October and, for the first few weeks, I loved it. Great value, most every feature you could want, and excellent fuel economy (46 mpg in hilly terrain in cold weather and 55+ mpg in temperate weather). I've owned a Prius and two Fusion hybrids and this car far exceeds all of these on mpg). Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the interminable rattle in the rear hatch began. I tried everything I could think of and read every forum I could Google, but nothing I tried worked (adjusting bumpers, removing cargo cover) and no one else with this complaint had any success in resolving the issue. I heard this noise over every bump and road imperfection and even, oddly enough, when braking to a stop or accelerating from a stop. It has driven me mad. This is inexcusable for a $33,000 car. Now, if you don't mind noise, it's a great car! I am very sensitive to ambient noise and this manufacturing defect ruined my experience! I had to trade, which cost me quite a bit, even though I had positive equity in the vehicle because of the current shortage problem. One other thing...the sales rep immediately turned on the radio during my test drive. With the car I just bought, the exact opposite experience happened...to show me how quite the vehicle was! If you test drive the Ioniq, make sure you drive over rough surfaces with radio off!

Much better than I thought it would be
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!

not reliable
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.
