This is a fantastic hybrid. Looks great too. If you're in a Prius or thinking about getting a Prius, you NEED to seriously consider this car. I love my 2018 Ioniq, this car is not getting enough buzz.
Love our new Ioniq hybrid. Fuel mileage is awesome especially coming from full sized truck and suv. The lifetime battery warranty sealed the deal for us.
The car she is testing is a 2016 model, but she helped me choose the 2019 ioniq premium which now has also paddle shifters.plus wireless phone charging , the car is very good for long distance driving ,and on our bad roads here in the uk it does not get to unsettled, rear seat head room has been no problem for any body that has been in the back of the car.
Got the Hyundai hybrid Premium SE model recently. (2018 -UK) Loving it. Easily the best car I have ever had. Early days but averaging 62 mpg although I did have it in the sport mode a few times which makes it feel a different car again. Have to get used to a silent car on start up. Looks stunning in the platinum silver finish and much better looking than the Prius. Dual clutch automatic super smooth.
Dream Box great to hear it. I’m at the brink of buying the Ioniq Hybrid Ultimate myself. My only hesitation is I live in New England/USA where snow can be substantial and what’s most popular here are AWD SUVs because of that. I love the Kona for its AWD capability, but the KONA EV won’t even come here for at least another year, plus it’s too expensive for me. Any thoughts about how the Ioniq Hybrid night do in snow with snow tires, since you’re already driving one? Appreciate any insight.
Olhos Verdes the Kona electric is front wheel drive. I have a Ioniq premium SE (love it - very good car - I get 70mpg (Uk gallon) all the time and my best was 93mpg) and in the 1” of snow we had in the Uk this year it was rubbish, I put it down to the narrow Michelin energy tyres maybe on snow tyres it would be better?
@@LookingGlass24 ive had my ioniq for 3 years, great in winter too (i live in toronto canada) selling my 2017 model to my brother and buying the 2020 version
Hyundai has made these three Inoniq's models a very serious contender. I bought the hybrid Blue version. Nearly 100% happy with it, just a few things could make it better, IMO. For price alone, amazing.
all videos i see they all talk about heated seats but no one speaks about what makes me love the high trim...COOLING seats!! its amazing and generally only on high end cars like way above 50000€...
At least in the US. The Blue gives us Android Auto and Apple Car Play, keyless start and entry, and back up camera (which is mandated here). The Premium is hardly worth the extra $6000 USD. The Premium also takes a decent HWY MPG hit. Packaging and pricing in the US doesn't make much sense.
not sure why people make a big deal about having a lip to load into the trunk? it makes people seem lazy to say it's a problem. I would just show it, and describe it, but to make it sound like i'm going to throw my back out trying to load into it is a little ridiculous. good review otherwise. shes nice to look at and listen to and I was glad to have an active comparison to prius. finally, she said "if you're looking for a car that nice on the environment....", I hardly think a car with big ass batteries is nice to the environment. it's possibly nicer to the greenhouse, but definitely a bruise to the environment as a whole.

Anybody know how to get that small speed display in the center under the range? (can be seen between 1:10 to 1:12) I have a 2017 SE Premium and it shows only the range, no speed.
Really awesome review, the full EV Ionic is really appealing. Just two small details never look over your shoulder when reversing the mirrors and camera should always be set to take care of the view. It also helps to reverse into a parking. The second is;- only the U.S. is still using miles everywhere else including the UK uses metric as in km’s. Love the blog I’m adding it to my list
Alex Calder, no sorry mate every country (except the US) in the world officially uses the metric system, all schools teach it. It will take time for all the cars and people to convert. In Aus some older blokes still use inches but in South Africa no one knows how long a yard is. It’s because the metric system is a far simpler system, and that’s the choice of the engineering world. 😊
The4ndrew, fair enough, can you tell how long 0.83 of a UK mile is? Please keep it in hole numbers, If it helps you can use yards, feet and inches. Or just convert to metric like everyone else.
Why convert anything and if i needed to i'd drop a quick goog. And that would be 1461 yards, but then again most would call it a mile just as you wouldn't tell people that you just popping out for a 903m stroll.
And heavier, slower, lower safety rating, more expensive and a little less room in the trunk. For a family man with younger kids (like I am) the Ioniq makes way more sense. Headroom in the back is only an issue for adults or tall teenagers. I have the Ioniq Premium for about a year now and love it very much!
I am VERY interested in an EV so thank you for the video and information. However I am waiting until they get them where they are practical. First they need to get the price down to the same level as a gas model of comparable size which would be around half what they are asking. Second they need to get range up to around 500 miles using full heat or air. And third they need to get the charging times down to around 10 or 15 minutes empty to full charge.
Most people drive less than 100 miles a day, and can charge overnight with a standard 220V outlet (and typically a dedicated charge manager connected to it, known as an "EVSE", although the newest Nissan Leaf does away with the need for one). Also, there's development in solid state batteries, so you should soon be able to charge 100 miles in five minutes (this is a conservative estimate, BTW). Basically, auto makers will soon be able to limit range to 250-300 miles or so, in the name of reducing battery size, weight, and keeping the sticker price lower. Quick chargers will become more plentiful, as electric cars become more mainstream, and plentiful numbers of chargers will limit the need for more range storage in batteries.
Michael Ball, the problem is while average driving numbers may sound good they do not take into account those times we take longer trips (vacations) which make the current EV impractical. Also even if a person NEVER used the EV of today for anything except those short average driving you mentioned there is the unreasonable prices. Until they get the distances of the EV to go further, have charge times the same as filling a gas model, and the initial purchase price the same as a gas model these things are not practical.
Even on vacations, I doubt the average driver drives more than 300 miles per leg. They need to stretch, eat, pee, etc. It's all a perfect time to charge the car. Get a quick charger at most rest stations, gas station, etc., and you will satisfy the needs of most vacationers. Prices of electric cars will come down as more batteries are created (and economies of scale come into play). Part of the strategy of keeping the sticker price down (to the point that they're priced similarly to gas cars) will be to keep the batteries smaller, and therefore cheaper per battery to produce. Even in the meantime, electric cars are perfect as a second car for homes with garages, as long as you treat them as a basic commuter car. You charge them at home while the car is just sitting there, anyway, so there's no time spent at a gas station at all, and the car spends no more time than normal sitting around. They're more reliable than gas cars, as they have far fewer moving parts, so there's also less maintenance (and no more oil changes!). For a commuter car, I'd rather buy a used 2016 Nissan Leaf than a new Toyota Corolla (between the two, the '16 Leaf sticker price is cheaper, BTW). There's serious day-to-day practicality in all of that. As for vacations, either use the gas car you own, or rent a gas car.
Michael not true. First off why pay 20,000 dollars more for an electric to have for a second car? That makes no sense. Second no EV today in the US can go 300 miles and charge in 10 to 15 minutes. The EV of today is a loser. No the EV is NOT more reliable than the gas model. That is just dumb to suggest. Spending 20,000 more on an EV than a gas to go less in distance, take 10 times as long to fuel, and never even breaking even is not wisdom. I have no problem if people admit that they buy one just because they want to be on the cutting edge, but when they try and make them seem practical they are lying through their teeth.
Even if i wanted to..in my country it's very difficult to charge the car, takes too much time to charge, they cost too much and there are almost no incentives to buy one
It’s really disgusting that in this day and age many men see a women reviewing a car and they turn her into a sexual object instead of focusing on the review and the car itself. Shame on that kind of immaturity. Grow up.

Nathan Ryan so true
How about the rear passenger head room?
What about the lack of rear windshield wiper?
Love our new Ioniq hybrid. Fuel mileage is awesome especially coming from full sized truck and suv. The lifetime battery warranty sealed the deal for us.
@i-Bus yes, it is good
Love your review. I just bought mine and waiting for delivery next week. Can't wait

Somone who finally pronounces “Hyundai” Like me, I usually hear people say it like this: “hun-day”
Hyun day is how the koreans pronounce it 😊
This is not the 2019 model though

Had mine two days, nothing to fault as yet, very happy....you spend more time in EV mode than you think..
Still happy about it?
Should've just had the same front on all of them. hating the missing grill on my fully electric one.
Pretty sure that’s the 2018 model - the 2019 has different led running lights which swap to be indicators when indicating.
it is the 2016 model, which can be seen on the number plate 66 is late 2016
My favourite reviewer, love her accent 😍
Roxas xuan bet she looks amazing naked .. betting her toes on point to
Roxas xuan I
no...
What's her name?
Bruh simp
No mention of the irritating foot/hand brake thing though!

IMHO a far bigger problem is on the Prius Plug In where the boot floor is higher than the load lip leaving hardly any cargo space.
Nicely done
Hyundai Ioniqs warranty is 5 years not 7
Force of habit maybe, cuz of Kia's 7 years?
it's actually 8 years on the battery, 5 for the whole car.
Yea but the battery is lifetime baby !
So no mention of the smartphone wireless charging - which it does have? Lane Assist etc?
Road noise kept to a minimum ? Are you sure ? I remember tyre roar verges the “intrusive” from a short test drive.
Correction HYUNDAI CARS get a "5" Year Warranty not "7" as you claimed. You obviously got confused with KIA, otherwise good review.

not a bad car , a little too much tyre roar for me.

Clint Thomas....eh nobody in the uk uses km....have you heard of brexit? Is that why all uk cars have their speedometers in miles per hour ?

Clint Thomas UK use the British mile actually.

After learning that the suspension is loose and tires don't grip the road well, I think I will pass.
Must have !
Had we not purchased a Honda Clarity our next choice would have been the Hyundai Ioniq PHEV
John Donaldson why did u get the Clarity and not the Ioniq? I’m curious because I’m on the market for a Hybrid/Hybrid Plug-In. Thx.
Olhos Verdes Ioniq is better
I prefer the Niro: better rear headroom and a longer warranty.
And heavier, slower, lower safety rating, more expensive and a little less room in the trunk. For a family man with younger kids (like I am) the Ioniq makes way more sense. Headroom in the back is only an issue for adults or tall teenagers. I have the Ioniq Premium for about a year now and love it very much!
5 years warranty NOT 7. Get your very important facts correct.
Decent
I had an Ioniq hire car, looked like a taxi and was far too soft and bouncy, steering was too numb.
I am VERY interested in an EV so thank you for the video and information. However I am waiting until they get them where they are practical. First they need to get the price down to the same level as a gas model of comparable size which would be around half what they are asking.

John Smith I think you're going to be driving petrol cars for a very long time.
Most people drive less than 100 miles a day, and can charge overnight with a standard 220V outlet (and typically a dedicated charge manager connected to it, known as an "EVSE", although the newest Nissan Leaf does away with the need for one).

why is she talking in slow-motion ?

Then go for the regular hybrid one

my next car...
Nice car nice girl...
what's wrong with her voice? it sounds like she's been to the Jeremy Clarkson school of presenting, eughhh 😱🤢🤢
Grating as hell!
No mention of the HORRIBLE foot operated parking brake,not such a balanced review... but ok
Aanndd...
Nice legs
I thought they were wheels on the car ? :-)
So ugly though why do hybrids have to look prius ugly. Golf lòoks like a normal car not some oddly styled horror
Is she sponsored by Toyota Prius?
