Reports percentage of aggressive driving.
Problems have been minimal & for it being almost 3 years I have only dealt with minor computer errors, back up camera glitches to be more precise. The mileage is great & for a hatchback the interior space is not too shabby. In comparison to other models like the Toyota Prius, with Hyundai your battery is lifetime warranty which Toyota is not.

It is exciting to save money and the environment by using less gasoline.
Reliability and comfort are amazing, perfect for long road trips. Very exciting to operate on less gasoline and contribute to helping the environment. I would certainly recommend buying this vehicle. The only issue is the side blind spots. I feel very comfortable and safe in this car:

It has good mileage. It is a hybrid.
It is a hybrid, so I save money on gas. It also has good warranties.

I like that I can use the app on my phone to unlock additional features.
The ioniq hybrid is very speedy and reliable. I have had no issues on tough road conditions after two years. It gets fantastic gas mileage, much better on short trips than long trips where the battery runs down more. The brakes are extremely touchy but you get used to them.

Ionia PHEV, green, safe, and fun.
I love all the safety features, the blind spot warning system and smart cruise control are especially helpful. Gas mileage is great and on my PHEV model the 27 miles electric range per charge is a nice bonus. The hands free connectivity is great. I love android auto. It is great to navigate with your voice. The seats are comfortable, air conditioner is powerful, heated seats are nice. It has a feature called remote start where you can start your car with your phone and heat it up or cool it down for 10 minutes. Very helpful in extremely hot or cold conditions.

It is a hybrid and is intended to be a fuel economy focused car.
I have a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq which is a hybrid car. I usually get around 55 MPH and it has saved me a ton of money for my commute. The only drawback to a hybrid and this vehicle is the shortage of horsepower due to the electric engine.

Overall, I like the size of the vehicle and the high mpg.
So far, in the 8 months I have owned it; I have had virtually no problems. Occasionally, the Bluetooth kicks off, but comes back on when I fiddle with it a bit. The door handle lock fell off once in the service dept at dealer got it on right away. I like the very high mpg.

It has really nice rims and the color is out of this world.
It can be loud while starting sometimes, and that might have something to do with the muffler but other than that it is a pretty great case. I do wish to upgrade though. I have only had this car for about 2 years now and it is pretty awesome. I'll be looking into new cars soon.

Great pick in the class. Standard driver aids. Compared to the.
Great pick in the class. Like the, it comes as a sedan or hatchback, but it lacks the coupe option. Regardless of body style, the Mazda has a serene and engaging ride with thrilling driving dynamics. However, the Honda has more rear-seat room and cargo space. It is a bit more affordable too, with.

It's a hybrid plug in. I rarely have to get gas. But a hybrid is actually terrible for the environment once that battery wears out.
I like that It's a plugin. I don't like that It's super slow and android auto is finicky and doesn't work very well.

Great ride and fab gas mileage.
I love the way the it drives. It is very smooth. It starts quickly and speeds up quickly. As you drive, the battery recharges. The gas mileage is excellent. I can drive almost 600 miles on a tank of gas. The car is very fuel-efficient. I like the look of the car and the apple pairing with my phone for the sound system.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Joshua S.

There is a problem when it switches between electric and gas mode when accelerating the car from a stop. The interior is very comfortable and the features within the car are quite advanced for the year of the vehicle and the trim version.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Joshua S.

Problem with accelerating from a stop when it switches from gas to electric or vise versa. It only happens every once in awhile like it wants to hesitate to move forward. I have not gotten it checked out by a mechanic.
