Well done Hyundai. New body, new emotion.

This car is great. I'd you take good care of it and do the proper maintenance this car will save money on gas and time. Very good looking car with nice finishes and can be customized in so many ways to fit all of your wants and needs in a car without having to deal with the terrible looking hybrid inception models.

Hyundai hybrid ioniq 2017 great mileage and dependable.

My vehicle has great mileage and nice brakes. I like how small it is for my needs, and I was not expecting to like the hatchback but its pretty convenient. It's like a Prius but less ugly. Some issues I have had though, is the air conditioning broke, which was a pain. But it has apple car play so when I charge my phone it shows what street I am on and I can open certain apps on the radio screen, which is really cool and convenient. The seats in it are also super comfy.

One of the best quality hybrids out there.

59 mpg. Drives well and fast. Good sound system. Rarely breaks down. Downside - does not really have a spare tire as they provide an electric air pump. Huge trunk space. 10-gallon gas tank - up to 630 miles on a full tank. Bluetooth functionality. No CD player. Multiple charging sources.

Marie D

Great on gas mileage but with a fun look and a sport mode.

I love that it's a hybrid but looks like a sporty sedan. It drives very smooth and has some pep in it on sport mode

Amanda T

An overall great and affordable hybrid.

This is a great car. The hatchback design is perfect, with a comfortable and roomy interior it is a great car for road trips. I average 50 miles per gallon in the summertime, which makes me feel better about lowering my carbon emissions and my gas budget!

Best vehicle ever. Buy it.

This will be the best vehicle you own. It is so much fun to drive. The gas mileage is amazing though of course not as amazing as advertised. We get at least 500 miles to the tank. Accelerating from zero to 60 is a breeze. The interior is roomy. The base model comes with a with a back up cam. Other trim packages have other safety features that are a lot of fun.

Marty S

Gas mileage and smooth ride.

Great gas mileage and a great dealership. The vehicle is easy to drive, handles well and is very roomy. The seating is leather with apple play and Bluetooth. It is easy to keep clean, drives smoothly and has a big hatchback. The storage is excellent and it automatic transmission.

The best hybrid with power when you need it!!

The best fuel economy car I know. Usually cars likes these can be slow but this one is not. It is self charging and has a sport mode feature to give you more power when you need it. You get over 600 miles for a full tank of gas and the most I have put in it is under $40 dollars. It is not the best comfortable back seat but it is doable.

Cheaply made. Do not last very long.

Cheaply made, not super dependable. I have only had the car for three years and it is starting to fall apart and the engine is already whining. This is my second Hyundai, my first being a sonata, and I haven't had great experiences with either of these cars. Not worth the money.

Kevin

Know what you're getting into

Unless you're planning to drive more than 7-8 miles every time you get in the car, the gas mileage isn't going to much better than a lot of non-hybrids. Just got back from my third day in a row of commuting in which the MPG was under 32 mpg. I could have purchased a bunch of other cars for much less money and gotten 32mpg.

Loko C

The gas mileage is really amazing as I can get about 50 miles to the gallon

Breaks are not working well as they are hard to stop with, battery has been dying but its been 4 to 6 months since I changed it last

Joanna F

City car, not for adventures.

I think it is pretty annoying how the interior lights on the monitor come on if a door is not completely closed. This drains my battery and has left my car dead in remote places. I like the fuel efficiency but I hate how low clearance it is and I do not want it to lock automatically if I do not open the door immediately when I unlock it.

Gregory Y

Gas mileage doesn’t equal what the telemetry tells you

Generally I do like the car. I have a limited. It does have a pretty high degree of road noise. I have 75k miles on it all highway. My telemetry tells me I’m getting 52.5 mpg so that’s what I thought. However when I read the actual mileage vs gallons at the pump, the telemetry is ALWAYS high by 10%. So before everyone pops the cork over what the vehicle SAYS it’s getting, go do some real world math.

Best hybrid, great amenities and great ride.

Love that I can go almost a month without filling the tank, for local drives. For a 220 mile road trip down, and 220 back, I still have a quarter tank available. It's a great car and I love all of the amenities. Only thing I dislike is the shape of the front hood. As a tall person, I still can't seen the end of my bumper, due to the more rounded hood. I like to simply see it so I know I won't hit anything. But other than that, a great car.

Highly recommend Hyundai ioniq.

I love this car. I get great gas mileage- as high as 61 mpg! Usually around 50 mpg on a normal day. It is comfortable to drive, smooth, and my favorite car I have owned so far. The technology is great and easy to use, and connects with my iPhone. My only wish is that I had a sunroof.

Pros from Owners

Monica C.

It is eco-friendly, great on mileage, and compact. The headlights are also led which brightness up the front view more and it is better for the environment. Since the vehicle is a hybrid, less gas is needed. It is easy to park as a beginner due to the size of the car.

Cons from Owners

Monica C.

It is not completely environmentally friendly since some gas is still needed to keep it running. Only 5 people fit in it so it is not a car for traveling or big families. The speed is also not very fast. It takes awhile for the car to accelerate on the highway.
