Great family hybrid vehicle that will not cost an arm and a leg.

I really love my new ioniq! I spent a few weeks researching hybrid vehicles, and it took the top spot in everything I was looking for. The fuel economy is well above it is competitors. The cargo space in the hatch was far superior as well. It is also the only hybrid currently offering a lifetime warranty on the batteries, which is so important. All in all, definitely a great car for a reasonable price.

Hyundai plug-in hybrid is great.

The mileage efficiency in our plug in hybrid is exceptional. Since purchase we are at over 90 miles per gallon of gasoline. The rebates for purchasing an electric vehicle made the purchase much more affordable. The local utility gives us a break if we charge the battery between midnight and 6 am.

Such a cute eco friendly vehicle!

We love our car! The gas mileage is great as well as all of the bells and whistles that are standard with the vehicle. We were wanting to get the plug in hybrid instead, but where we live does not have the licensing to sell plugins, so we went with the hybrid instead. What is genuinely the only thing we don't like about the car, is that it does not just run off electricity.

Amazing car. Great features!

This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It has good get up and go. It has a nice big screen with apple play. I use it all if the time. The seats are comfortable. I like that it is a hatchback and the seats fold down easily and there is a ton of room. I love it.

I enjoy the miles per gallon in this vehicle.

There is a blind spot on the corners of the rear of the vehicle that I wish were a bit easier to see past. Or all of these vehicles should come with a backup beeper if you get close to something. It would be much safer if there were backup beepers to accommodate for this blind spot that is not caught in the rearview, side view or backup camera.

Too many problems in 6 months

The car is cheap on gas. It cost me $ 250 for 10 k but the service is expensive. For the first 12k service they charged me $180 in labor, the equivalent of 200 litres of gas. The dealership I chose ... I cannot find words ..google will not allow them.

Hyundai ioniq hybrid is a great little car.

No problems. It drives nice and is comfortable. The gas mileage is very good but not as good as advertised. The interior is comfortable, and I really like the touch screen control panel. If I could pick, I'd choose a dark dash, as the white one reflects in the windshield.

This rugged little gas saver is a good deal.

I use this car for city driving and road trips. The battery lasts my entire 26 mile commute and the app automatically charges the car every night. I have put so little gas in it I am surprised. At 4000 miles driven, I have always gotten above 50 mpg, even on 400 mile road trips where I couldn't charge it on the road. I haven't had any problems and it is a surprisingly tough car, handling unpaved forest roads at 5 mph without issue. It is comfortable but a little noisy on the interstate. I loved the heated seats in winter.

Great gas mileage. Do not buy it for anything else.

Gas mileage is great, the handling is terrible. It makes a weird spaceship noise when coasting on ev and beeps like a truck when backing up. Impossible to feather to a complete stop without the car jerking. Completely awful accelerating from a stop and from mid-fast range. The sport mode makes up for this, but ruins the mileage.

Too Many Little Issues ... Not a Satisfying Experience.

The ONLY thing I like about my 2020 PHEV is the savings on gas when I can go back and forth to work in EV mode. That's it. The rest of my driving experience with this car probably isn't even a 3 out of 5. Today my 10-in Infotainment System died... No display. Do you think I can find any information to help me troubleshoot it? No way. I really hate that I can't set certain things up while I'm driving... It's locked out.. Even the passenger can't do it. I HATE a car that I own locking me out like that. Only way to properly use the relatively sh*tty Navigation system is to pull over and stop to set it up. My wife was pairing her iPhone to the car and couldn't complete it while we were driving.. Locked out again. There's a half dozen other things you are prevented from doing by the car you own.. It's very frustrating. Seriously considering trading it in on a Toyota.

False MPG claim

It's a good car but I have yet to get 59mpg in any situation or road conditions. I seem to vary from 45 to 55. I drive in eco mode and don't speed. Sticker didn't say 59either they had 58 as best mpg. I'm happy with 45 to 55 but be honest. I would have got the car if 50mpg was on the sticker.

Hybrid vehicle that is fun to drive with high tech features.

Just bought the hybrid and love the gas mileage. Getting use to the gas engine kicking on and off, along with the generator coming on when you take your foot off the gas. This vehicle has the front collision avoidance system which was a major factor in purchasing this model.
