As advised, I bought the red car. Picked it up yesterday from Cwmbran and drove it back to Sheffield. Approx 200 miles. Only needed one 20 minute stop and got home with 15 miles left. 5.8 miles per kwh. Astonishing. Switched to Octopus, ordered ohme charger, so soon I'll be on 7.5p per kwh overnight charging. Does driving get any cheaper than that? Keep up the good work!
@@ridehead8771 yes, very cheap. Since I bought the car, I have averaged just under 5 mpkwh, so it costs about 1.5 pence per mile. Astonishing. But, in fairness, it looks like the depreciation will be horrendous. Can't win them all.
Just bought a 38kwh se and the first drive of an electric vehicle was 110 miles home. It returned 6.1 for the journey and a good chunk of that was at 70 on the motorway. First full charge to 100% to get a balance charge showed me a range of 203 miles. Very impressed with the car, both for features and drivability .
I have the 28KW model and use it as a commute car 80 mile round trip a day. In the depths of winter -4c I get 120 mile range and in the summer I have had 164 mile range. This is based on motorway speeds of 60 mph, I home charge on Octopus and my running cost were £10 a week instead of £95 in my diesel (hence why I brought it).
Ioniq 28kwh owner, done 30000 miles in 18 months, I live in Cornwall and use it as my daily driver for work, I get around 140 miles in summer and 110 in winter with mixed 70-30mph driving. Super efficient, good trim level and quick charging, 10-80% in 17mins, it’s the benchmark vehicle for value, efficiency, charging curve (flat) 62kw to 80%.
I am a happy owner of a 38 kWh Ioniq, and yes, it is a range monster... On warmer spring/autumn days and even in summer, when the AC does need to run, I easily get 400-450 km range on one charge. I quite often get around 7.5-8 kWh/100 km consumption. It is simply an ideal car 🙂
4.5 years with a 19' 28kw... range is 111 miles in the winter and 141 in summer. Using heat/ac lowers that by about 12 miles. Perfect commuting car for me. 65k on it and all maintenance was replacing tires once & wipers 2x. We've added solar to our home so it's free to drive too!
Bought a 2020 69 reg Premiums SE about 6 months ago. Excellent car. So easy to drive. Love the kit on it, the ventilated seats have been a god send during the summer months. The lane follow assist is very good, makes motorway journeys so easy. Economy wise, winter average between 3.5-5m/kwh. Summer the economy is between 5-7m/kwh. I recently did the longest journey I've had to do and did a 85 miles each way (so around 170 in total, mostly motorway) and averaged 5.7m/kwh. I still had approximately 17% left when I got back.
Bought an se 38kw last month for 13k with 58k miles, love the car, I’m getting 195 miles in eco mode, I drive it steady, it does everything and I love it, the best car I’ve ever owned 😎😎
I bought a blue 2020 Ioniq SE 38kwh 2yrs ago in 2022 to deliver Amazon with, and it only had 12k kms on it (I am in Canada), but it did cost me $40k. I now have almost 102k kms on it and the only problem I had as replacing the 12v small battery. In the summer I routinely get 300kms to a full charge (240v home charger). It has been a great car with very little maintenance and has saved me $24k in gas since I bought it!
We bought a 2022 38kWh with 30k miles for £15k about 2 months ago and so far its going great. First EV, charging basically exclusively at home at a 7c/kW ev rate, so saving over €100 a month on "fuel" over our old car We get about 200-220 km (~120 - 130miles) on Irish motorway speeds (120kmph/75mph) and probably closer to 300 km (~180 miles) non motorway driving. Bear in mind these are late winter/early spring figures 99% of our journeys will be within the range of the 38, so plan to only home charge, so we didnt require the faster charging 28. Although the 28 probably would have covered 95% of our driving so could gave been an option too. Biggest complaint we have is the boot. It has a decent surface area, but due to the shape of thr back window, it's quite shallow. We have come from an estae though. Our two dogs would fit in the boot, but wouldnt have room to stand up and move in. The boot floor is also quite slidy for some reason , so maybe buy a cheap rubber boot liner (we got one in lidl for €7 that works fine) The 12v battery did let us down within the first two weeks, so i just ended up replacing it for €100 to give oiece of mind that the battery is fine now (the original did work fine for a few days after jumping it)
I presume you went through VRT with that, was it on Northern Irish plates? How much was it to put Irish players on ? Thinking of doing exactly what you done but trying to avoid the VRT (I believe there are some circumstances in which you can pay 0). also would you fit luggage/suitcases high side up in the boot or its too shallow?
@@itsRigel yeah, total cost of brining it in was €11 tyre recycling fee. Also new license plates were €25 or something. VRT is free for electric cars , even if it's from the UK. But the difference between UK cars and NI reg cars is you don't have to pay VAT. The rule changed in April for what's considered an NI car, but it's probably even a bit more favourable. In order to not pay VAT , the car needs to be 6 months old, have 6000km when you present it (so you could drive a lot before the VRT appointment), and be in private ownership in NI for "a reasonable amount of time" (most people think 3 months).
@@itsRigel sorry the boot as well: It's quite deep, you'd fit two large suitcases in it, the roof of the boot is just very low so you can't pile things very high. Like I couldn't fit the two young kids bikes in it the other day because the boot wouldn't close. It may be pretty fine compared to lots of cars, but we are coming from 10 years of our only two cars being estates , so we were spoilt with space!
I have had a 2019 ioniq 28 for nearly a year and it's the nicest car I've owned and incredible efficiency I get 13kwh per 100km with ac on and driving around 110kmh much of the route. I count on easily 200km range most times of the year. I always try and allow more buffer in winter. I've turtled it twice. But that was going through a mountain range on a 80 percent charge. It really drives good.good torque to really get moving. It's not quick but it's notslow either. Super useful power to pass on passing lanes especially if you putit in sports mode. It feels quite nice
The OG Ioniq (28 and 38kW) are the best gateway drug into the world of EV's, lots of Tech, awesome efficiency, only let down by the slow charge rate of the 38kW :)
I have a 28kWh Ioniq. Long term efficiency is currently sat at 5.1 miles/kWh The range of the car is greater than my own so I often stop after about two hours for a break and a coffee by which time the car has charged up to 95% in about 30 minutes. Given a decent charger I have seen 64 kW going in.
hello! i have ioniq 2017 28kwh. It is 310.000km and have degradation of battery, capasity is 22kwh (new 26kwh). I think it the best car of the world) Was no problem with this car.
we run a fleet of 6 Ioniq's never had a single mechanical issue. 38KW versions give range of 186 -203 miles - consumption from 3.6 - 5.5KW depending on time of year. having said that the standard hybrids are amazing with an average of 60 mpg across many drivers and i often get above 65 miles per gallon on a run.
I have been driving a leased Ioniq Premium SE 38 kW for exactly two years. After 27,000 miles I have not had a problem. They really are the King of Efficiency. My normal summer efficiency is just over 5 mKh. We have just got back from a holiday (London to Northumberland) just over 1200 miles, a lot of motorway driving. Average efficiency was 4.8. Public charging worked out at 13p per mile. Only had to wait 10 min to charge once. That was at Moto Rugby when some very helpful staff from Gridserve were marshalling the queue very efficiently. I have not had a problem with the speed of charging, just needs some careful planning where to stop. Some owners have problems with the 12v battery going flat so most of us carry an emergency power bank to get going. These cost about £30.
I love my Ioniq 38kWh Premium Jan 2020, range is realistically on the motorway in summer 170-180 but I like to stop at about 150. Winter more like 130-140. It is a good value car. Main things to watch out for is Air Conditioning faults, mine had to have a connector replaced under warranty at 2 years old. Coolant is an issue, the original coolant crystallises and needs a 'power flush' currently covered by a Technical Service Bulleting/Warranty. Will this long term fix the issue? Who knows but lots of owners seeing 'Refill Coolant' warnings which is the first sign of an issue. Rear Tail spoiler can work loose, a fairly easy fix and a rattle can occur due to broken plastic retaining clips on trim. I intend keeping mine until the 8 year battery warranty expires. 4th year service on the 38 is pricey due to the coolant needing changing, in the UK about £500. Other services circa £70-£100. Alloy wheel corrosion can also be an issue. Very very efficient and I regularly see over 5 miles per kWh. Depreciation is heavy if you have owned from new, I got mine at 1.5 years old at £22k but only worth around £10k trade in now as you pointed out in your video.
I was recommending the original Ioniq to someone on an EV group just today - they were wanting to swap out of their 30kWh Leaf in to something with more range. A great car with almost other-worldly efficiency...! 😵
Replaced a 64kwh Soul company car with a 38kwh SE, Absolutely destroys the soul for miles per kwh but not suprising given the lack of drag and weight it carries around in comparison. On the subject of motorways did a essex to telford about 190 miles approx a couple of times with a 100% start charge and still had 30 to 40 miles on the GOM at the other end - not bad at all
We have a 17plate 28kw 35K Premium SE model. It has been a joy to own. The daily commute is a 6 mile road trip, so it only gets charged once a week if the weekends are quiet. The charging network hasn't let us down yet and we regularly travel to Bristol from Cambridgeshire. Its perks over the 38kw model are faster charging times but that's splitting hairs really. The 28kw doesn't have an app that the 38kw does have - you just program it through the main display and its up to temp in the cabin every morning ready for the drive into work. The right tyres will pay dividends on noise, grip and efficiency. The majority of road noise comes from the boot. IF you have boot cover open, you will notice the difference. There's a plastic holdall under the boot floor for bits and pieces but it goes further back then you realise - i stick the charging cable there. The ioniq suits are lifestyle - so choose with that in mind and it will do you proud. We always look to charge around the 20 mile mark. We had 12 miles indicated and the station was 5 miles away - we crawled in into the charging station with turtle power. A process i wouldn't want anyone to go through. Red light roulette is a no no for EV's - Promise. We have averaged 4.7miles per kwh - over 15k of its total so far. We don't use eco or power modes, have the climate in Auto mode and run the electric heated suits as and when. Drive at 70 on motorways. Summer is 115miles - winter is 90 miles between the charges on big trips. Love our 28....
Didn't they have ads at one point claiming Hyundai rhymes with Sunday? Also, I drive a PHEV Ioniq and I wouldn't rexommend it to anyone. It's underpowered and riddled with 12V issues. Mine I got new and it's left me stranded 8 times now due to 12V drain and "Hunday" claims nothing is wrong every time.
Terrific car (38Kw battery, premium model ). Got a new battery fitted on a service recall recently. Battery charges to 374kph and seems to go forever. Bright modern interior with a touch of buck Rodger’s in the 21st Century exterior look. First electric car to have and judging on what I’ve seen from now I’ll never go back to petrol or diesel. As I recently retired I sold my Mercedes 220cdi executive (little or no driving distance to cover) and was a bit apprehensive of going electric. Have travelled all over Ireland with not a single problem either with the car or the charging points. On the recommendation of a good friend I went electric and will never go backwards. The future is electric for cars and hydrogen for HGV’s.
when will the elephant be coming into the video. I have a 28. today I got 5.9 miles a unit / kWh. even a 180 miles drive I got 5.7 , with mid trip charge, when i went to the shops. if you do not turn the heater on even in winter you will still get in the 5 miles range to a unit. the battery charges up to 94% on the 50kW chargers very fast. think from 20% to 94 was apx 30 min. Is far more easier to just go on a 7 and take 3 hrs and do a town etc. I would not pick a Leaf over a Ioniq. if you do you are as Mad as the MacMaster. the ioniq wipes the floor with a leaf. better range so cheaper to run.
I agree that when these first came out I really liked them for the fact that looked very much like a regular car and did not stand out like other EVs. Unfortunately I had not been able to get over the huge price jump to go to EV from ICE. Fast-forward to this past year and thanks to the new tax credits in the USA I started looking for an EV. I began looking into E-Golfs, but rediscovered the Ioniq and picked up a 10,000 mile 2020 Limited for $20,500USD. The tax rebate brought the price down to $16,500 or 13,000 pounds. I've only had it a couple of days, but overall very pleased. It has so many great features. The only downside that makes me jealous of the European models is the lack of a heat pump. They removed it after the 2019 model, which I suppose was move to offset the cost of the larger battery pack. But it's more than enough range to get me where I need to go, even in winter.
Daughter has just been down to stay with us, in her 2017 28kWh…700 mile round trip. The car is fantastic, quick to charge, frugal and comfortable. It feels nippy also. Journey only let down by faulty/slow chargers, queues and some rather stroppy/rude EV users trying to rush her off the chargers…one lady even demanding she wait while she charged, rather than share the charge unit. She plugged in. All this malarkey added around 7hrs to her journey. We drive Tesla and find the hassle she has annoying and frustrating. The 28kWh is superb however, and handles her 50 mile daily commute with ease.
For the money a 38kw costs its damn near impossible to beat it with a similar priced car, even when i purchased mine for more then what current Ioniqs go for, I wouldnt change the car I got. Also I think the charging speed has been overstated by some, you would have to do long journeys often for the charging speed to really matter and at that point, this probably isnt the car for you
I average 300 + .... never really let it get down to that , but do regularly go to 30% and still have 100 km left in the tank .... Mine is a MY22 38kwh .... We live in the bush in southeastern Australia and do a lot of highway drive
I leased a 38kWh three years ago. Done everything I need, reliable efficient and versatile. The only gripe I have is that it's being discontinued and I won't be able to lease a new one when my current lease expires in 2024.
I think people are slowly learning about EV's for (them) not to be a problem! Just don't know about the UK's sometimes shoddy public charger network, although if more are being built if only 66% of them are working at any one time, that's still better than it used to be!
Worth mentioning that there is a battery buffer with the real capacity 30.5kWh...28 kWh being the accessible battery. Other videos on UA-cam show >100,000 mile examples doing a battery health check and are seeing no range loss at all. I can't think of any better car for the commute/school run that would outlive any ICE car and need minimal maintenance.
I have a 67 plate 28kw. Great car. Day to day summer range 140 (5kw/mile), 130 motorway miles @ 70. Don’t trust the last 5% to give you the same amount of miles as the first 5%! Charging speed of 66kw up to 80% subject to the charger. Can fill it overnight in the 4 hr Octopus Go window with a 7kW charger.
There is a channel run by an Ionic (68 plate) owner and he gets over 4 miles per KW/h at night with the lights and heating on in the middle of winter! His summer consumption is, indeed, over 6 miles per KW/h which I can only dream of in my Fiat 500e.
I did just that, bought my '18 Ioniq 28 in the summer of 2022 to replace my ICE car as it was getting too expensive to fill it up. I drive at about 20% of the daily cost now while having a silent, luxurious, auto gear car that is so pleasant and comfortable to drive. I have leatherseats with heat and cooling, adaptive cruisecontrol etc. etc. I get 9-10 km/kWh (5.5-6 m/kWh) in the summer with no problems, I live in the Counstry which makes is possible to drive without any regeneration and do a lot of coasting and it works great.
Thanks, I have a long range EV, circa 300 miles, but increasingly realise I rarely use the range and could easily manage on a smaller battery, especially if the charging infrastructure improves.I could easily live with the larger Ioniq battery model. Range and 0-60 times have been the big selling points, but they are all fast enough, and range anxiety is just about gone. My big battery EV is however very good at soaking up my surplus solar leccy, rarely need to use grid power to charge from April through to end of September.
I preferred the 28 but none were available when I needed to buy so found a 38 Premium....£23k last August/September and that was a good price for a '20 plate then believe it or not! Our first ev and couldnt be happier, coming from a ten year old Skoda Roomster its very exotic and I havent yet worked out how to use half the gizmos! We havent found the slower charging to be an issue even though we have no home charger. Our local 50kW charger is at Aldi so we do our shop there and save money also with a subscription to the charge provider. The last time I accidentally charged to 100% because I can only walk slowly the mileage guesstimate showed 216 in normal mode. This was in autumn/winter and I never saw less than 4.5m/kWh , now its warm I'm regularly getting over 7m/kWh. I should say our journeys are not particularly long and mainly on A and B roads with a few relatively short motorway runs so probably cheating a bit with the numbers to be scrupulously fair. Having said that I did an hours trip in the pouring rain and still got 4.8 out of it which seemed terrible at the time but I now realise is actually rather good compared to say the MGZS I might have bought had the timings been different. There are two warranty recalls on the 38 for a battery coolant issue and a software update to correct a 12v drain. My car has noticed the first and keeps throwing a replace coolant light but I've had no issues with the 12v. Both are being done at the end of the month under warranty. I would definitely check to see if the vehicle you're looking at requires them or not and if so have they been done? If you purchase one that needs the coolant change recall find out when the four year major service is due as this replaces the coolant and is very expensive. I'm having that service done at the same time and made sure they deducted the price of the very expensive coolant and halved the service charge. I also had to confirm that they would not change the coolant twice, I kid you not! Apparently each dealer differs in quality and ability to deal with these things, luckily my local branch, Marshall's in Canterbury seems to be very good having jut had it MOT'd. They say they've done loads of the coolant replacements and have had no returners which is quite unusual according to the owners group. Buy as new a model as you can now for the warranty, highly recommended! I would never worry about high mileage either because there are so few moving parts there's little to go wrong. Most dealers still lower the mark up for high mileage cars so thats where the bargains are. As long as the interior isnt too worn and you get a battery state of health check done you should be fine.
Really appreciate this detailed feedback. I find the 38 to be very tempting. My long journeys are for leisure so I can cope with the slower charging, but the coolant issue is a bit of a concern.
@@happysporran the coolant is being changed for a new version under warranty. Maybe go in to your nearest Huyndai and ask them if they've done many and if they've had anyone return with the light showing again. For the reasons this may happen see the video by Go Green Autos on changing the coolant, give him a sub if you haven't already, Matt's a good chap. The Huyndai owners group on Facebook is quite useful they talk about being able to check different main dealers online for their prices which vary widely, annoyingly. You can also find out which dealers to avoid which seem to know little about the recalls and their EVs in general. I don't quite know how you do this because my tech skills are somewhat limited being a bit long in the tooth! I think it's a part of the Facebook page but I'm not certain. Good luck we bought ours through Carwow because we were in a hurry. It was our first big online purchase so we were very apprehensive but it all went swimmingly. So we have no regrets and thoroughly enjoy the electric driving experience.👍
Happy owner of an ioniq 28 with 180k km BUT some advice for buyers: The ioniqs (and i think Kona as well) seem to have a weak reduction gearbox. I have seen quite a few on the used market that said they needed to replace either gearbox or motor bearing somewhere between 120,000-180,000 km. The previous owner of my car had it replaced at at 150,000 km the LAST week it was still under warranty. So lucky me got a new gearbox and a new motor for free. So if you want to buy used, listen for any scratching noises when going through corners or accelerating or both. I now make a point of accelerating and decellerating gently, only shifting gears when fully standig still and only shifting to "park" after having applied the park brake. Also, i read that changing the oil of the gearbox every 30,000km (or at least the first 30k) will help to prolong the life. Although they say the oil will last the lifetime of the gearbox .... but apparently that is about 200k km. :) I am hoping on getting my ioniq to +500k km ^^ Second: the BMS is not exactly accurate with reporting the state of health (SoH). Mine did show 100% when it was more like 91% in reality. There are third party tests available from companies like aviloo (no promotion but that is what I used). Costs 100€ and a test drive. Might help with negotiations and or peace of mind. :)
Got very very close to buying one but efficiency is only really any good if your battery is big enough for what your customer needs. An extra 10 kWh in the later battery and it would have been the car that we bought.
Absolutely yes. Got a 38 premium fantastic car. Easy 180 in the summer (highway) 160 in the winter seen 200 before. More than pokey enough. Charging speed is perfectly acceptable.
I have a 2020 Ioniq PHEV, it’s OK, I can get to work and back (30 mile round trip) on EV only in summer, but to be completely honest I now wish I had got a Kona EV LR or Kia eNiro LR instead. With regards to its looks, well that’s in the eye of the beholder anyway, but I quite like it. The lack of a rear wiper is annoying.
I purchased an ioniq 28 in Ohio in the US about two months ago. So far it has been one of my favorite cars. I only drive about 4 miles a day during the week so it is beyond practical for me in my daily life. I will say that I have yet to get a dc fast charger to work close to where I live but I have only tried a handful of times and I'm not sure at this point if it's novice ignorance or a faulty charge lock on my car. (If anyone has thoughts I'm open to insight). Overall I would say if your daily commute is under thirty miles it's a perfect car. p.s. the sport mode is underrated and feels way ballsier in a straight line than you would think.
I get a long term 4.7 miles per kWh. That includes many trips with a roof rack which decimates the efficiency. Last weekend the car was driven 180 miles with a result of 6.1miles/kWh. That would be 238miles on a full charge.
Good bargain at present the 38kw, Hyundai flooded the market 3 years go and so there are tonnes of them at auction that have come off lease. If you want to save even more, pay an auction bidding service and you'll be saving a couple of grand on those prices.
Only test driven one(28, 2019, and bought about a month later) in practice but as for theoretical work (at least for the early 2018, early 2019 model), it is a steal for all the tech, safety features and the effecientness of it. I will say, unlike other EV's (imo), it drives like a car, sounds like and looks like car. It blurs the line of car and the more advanced/futureistic EVs that look like spaceships. Some would say "A car is just a car", the ioniq is NOT just a car, it's an introduction to EV motering all while combining the mechanics of the electric engine with the familier feeling of driving a petrol/diesel engine. As long it's been taken care of from the previous owner(s). It is a wonderful car.
Thanks for this review - really helpful! I used to have a hybrid version for the last 2 years and it was great, now happily replaced with a Model 3, but the second car is still an ICE car and potentially the 38.3kWh might be a decent replacement going full electric with the fleet! It will be the runabout car, so no impact on the slightly reduced fast charging speed, since it will be getting it's juice at Type 2 charger for 99.9% of the times ..
Ioniq classic and Ioniq facelift, both are exceptional cars and are a good buy. Newer cars are unproportional more expensive and do not bring really an advantage that would be worth the price for most people.
The sound is weird Gary. It’s sounds like a boom in the background. Maybe you are banging the table? About 3/4 times apart from that. Interesting video. Is this an ev or a car modeled on a Ice car frame?
😬 not good - I’ll try to sort that out going forward. Ioniq was designed with multiple drivetrains in mind - sold from day 1 (I think) as hybrid/plug in hybrid/full EV - so a little different to the “design a petrol car first and then stick a battery under it” we see from some.
Iv'e never had an EV but if i were to buy one then this would be my choice. I like that it's a normal looking car and really like the efficiency of these cars. Wish they would produce more cars like these instead of great big boxes on wheels with huge battery packs and terrible range for the size of battery.
We had Huyundai as a vehicle used for the business. It was in use a lot and racked up a lot of miles. Very dissapointed that the windows and gearbox in many of them failed very early on. Certainly put me off ever buying one, and a couple of areas worth checking I'd your buying an older one.
Gear box oil is an issue, on my 38 I changed the oil out at 15k myself and fitted a £30 magnetic sump plug to replace the original non magnetic item, oil was black with metal fillings present, changed again at 30k and clean and clear - Check the forum's as it's been described on both the ioniq and Kona threads
I have the 38kw premium se. Love the heated and vented seats. Adaptive cc, rear cross alert and economy are fantastic. Good app also. Had zero problems. Love it £3 to charge 0 to 100 on octopus intelligent
I have a 38Kwh premium that has to go back in April next year and i am not sure what car to go for next. I will have paid arount £7.500 for the three year lease and did not realise how well specced it is until I started looking online aat a replacement. I did cosider getting an MG4, but to get all the extras, like heated seats, adaptive cruise control etc, I would have to buy the trohy model, which is over £32,000 atm. So I am considering a Nissan Leaf, say a 1 year old Tekna, which are around £19000 or a 1 year old MG5 excite, which is the same price?, decisions decisions
@@ModernHeroes thank you. They seem a nice bunch. Putting a couple of new tyres on, and fixing a minor ding. Full Hyundai history. What could possibly go wrong! And I chipped £200 off the price. Also, I've noticed one of my credit cards is offering £10k zero percent balance transfer for one year. Kerching! Keep up the excellent work. Love the cat.
38kw battery, I get between 5.5 and 6 mkWh Could get more if I manually did the regen paddles but I’m lazy 😂 Great car. Charges quickly, without an octopus go type tariff it’s about 10£ to charge at home
I had the 28 for 3 years and changed to the 38 last summer. Best range was 159 miles in the 28 and 210 in the 38 - both summer temperatures. A great car and cavernous with seats down - racing bike fits easily without taking any wheels off and also a very long stepladder. Thoroughly recommend it.
Brillaunt car 3 years of regular 110 mile commute with a 140 twice a month no problem once you realise the predicted range is very accurate so you can get home with single digits left
Electric vehicles are only suitable for local journeys, and cost more than petrol hybrids to run, insurance is starting to stipulate about £800 excess on fire damage cover + you will be paying road tax now and fast charging costs more petrol costs !!!
@@geoffjolliffe6509 I think the road tax thing is correct, or vehicle excise duty or whatever it is called lol. I believe in 2 years all BEV`s will have to pay it and I also thimk that cureent BEV`s that do not at the moment pay will also have to start paying as well, which I think is wrong as a mate of mine pays £20 for his 2Ltr diesel and that will stay with the car for the rest of its existance
You are totally 100% wrong. EVs are significantly cleaner than fossil cars, this is an irrefutable fact. Only ill informed petrol heads and the fossil fuel industry continues pedalling your easily proven nonsense. You cant get anywhere near a 3 pence per mile cost with ANY diesel car either. Wake up man!
Ioniq 28kwh owner, done 30000 miles in 18 months, I live in Cornwall and use it as my daily driver for work, I get around 140 miles in summer and 110 in winter with mixed 70-30mph driving. Super efficient, good trim level and quick charging, 10-80% in 17mins, it’s the benchmark vehicle for value, efficiency, charging curve (flat) 62kw to 80%.
As advised, I bought the red car. Picked it up yesterday from Cwmbran and drove it back to Sheffield. Approx 200 miles. Only needed one 20 minute stop and got home with 15 miles left. 5.8 miles per kwh. Astonishing. Switched to Octopus, ordered ohme charger, so soon I'll be on 7.5p per kwh overnight charging. Does driving get any cheaper than that? Keep up the good work!
How's the charging cost with octopus? Is it really that cheap nowadays still?
@@ridehead8771 yes, very cheap. Since I bought the car, I have averaged just under 5 mpkwh, so it costs about 1.5 pence per mile. Astonishing. But, in fairness, it looks like the depreciation will be horrendous. Can't win them all.
Just bought a 38kwh se and the first drive of an electric vehicle was 110 miles home. It returned 6.1 for the journey and a good chunk of that was at 70 on the motorway. First full charge to 100% to get a balance charge showed me a range of 203 miles. Very impressed with the car, both for features and drivability .
I have the 28KW model and use it as a commute car 80 mile round trip a day. In the depths of winter -4c I get 120 mile range and in the summer I have had 164 mile range. This is based on motorway speeds of 60 mph, I home charge on Octopus and my running cost were £10 a week instead of £95 in my diesel (hence why I brought it).
Finally the Ioniq gets some credit, best value EV ever made. The radar cruise is amazing and fancy seats are great!

I am a happy owner of a 38 kWh Ioniq, and yes, it is a range monster...
On warmer spring/autumn days and even in summer, when the AC does need to run, I easily get 400-450 km range on one charge. I quite often get around 7.5-8 kWh/100 km consumption.
It is simply an ideal car 🙂
4.5 years with a 19' 28kw... range is 111 miles in the winter and 141 in summer. Using heat/ac lowers that by about 12 miles.
Perfect commuting car for me. 65k on it and all maintenance was replacing tires once & wipers 2x.
We've added solar to our home so it's free to drive too!
Bought a 2020 69 reg Premiums SE about 6 months ago. Excellent car. So easy to drive. Love the kit on it, the ventilated seats have been a god send during the summer months. The lane follow assist is very good, makes motorway journeys so easy. Economy wise, winter average between 3.5-5m/kwh. Summer the economy is between 5-7m/kwh. I recently did the longest journey I've had to do and did a 85 miles each way (so around 170 in total, mostly motorway) and averaged 5.7m/kwh. I still had approximately 17% left when I got back.
Bought an se 38kw last month for 13k with 58k miles, love the car, I’m getting 195 miles in eco mode, I drive it steady, it does everything and I love it, the best car I’ve ever owned 😎😎
I bought a blue 2020 Ioniq SE 38kwh 2yrs ago in 2022 to deliver Amazon with, and it only had 12k kms on it (I am in Canada), but it did cost me $40k. I now have almost 102k kms on it and the only problem I had as replacing the 12v small battery. In the summer I routinely get 300kms to a full charge (240v home charger). It has been a great car with very little maintenance and has saved me $24k in gas since I bought it!
We bought a 2022 38kWh with 30k miles for £15k about 2 months ago and so far its going great.
First EV, charging basically exclusively at home at a 7c/kW ev rate, so saving over €100 a month on "fuel" over our old car
We get about 200-220 km (~120 - 130miles) on Irish motorway speeds (120kmph/75mph) and probably closer to 300 km (~180 miles) non motorway driving. Bear in mind these are late winter/early spring figures
99% of our journeys will be within the range of the 38, so plan to only home charge, so we didnt require the faster charging 28. Although the 28 probably would have covered 95% of our driving so could gave been an option too.
Biggest complaint we have is the boot. It has a decent surface area, but due to the shape of thr back window, it's quite shallow. We have come from an estae though. Our two dogs would fit in the boot, but wouldnt have room to stand up and move in. The boot floor is also quite slidy for some reason , so maybe buy a cheap rubber boot liner (we got one in lidl for €7 that works fine)
The 12v battery did let us down within the first two weeks, so i just ended up replacing it for €100 to give oiece of mind that the battery is fine now (the original did work fine for a few days after jumping it)
7c for charging Id absolutely Stundung, in Germany it is 30 Euro Cent
I presume you went through VRT with that, was it on Northern Irish plates?
How much was it to put Irish players on ?
Thinking of doing exactly what you done but trying to avoid the VRT (I believe there are some circumstances in which you can pay 0).
also would you fit luggage/suitcases high side up in the boot or its too shallow?
@@itsRigel yeah, total cost of brining it in was €11 tyre recycling fee. Also new license plates were €25 or something.
VRT is free for electric cars , even if it's from the UK. But the difference between UK cars and NI reg cars is you don't have to pay VAT.
The rule changed in April for what's considered an NI car, but it's probably even a bit more favourable.
In order to not pay VAT , the car needs to be 6 months old, have 6000km when you present it (so you could drive a lot before the VRT appointment), and be in private ownership in NI for "a reasonable amount of time" (most people think 3 months).
@@BrianLough Thanks Brian, appreciate that!
@@itsRigel sorry the boot as well:
It's quite deep, you'd fit two large suitcases in it, the roof of the boot is just very low so you can't pile things very high. Like I couldn't fit the two young kids bikes in it the other day because the boot wouldn't close.
It may be pretty fine compared to lots of cars, but we are coming from 10 years of our only two cars being estates , so we were spoilt with space!
I have had a 2019 ioniq 28 for nearly a year and it's the nicest car I've owned and incredible efficiency I get 13kwh per 100km with ac on and driving around 110kmh much of the route. I count on easily 200km range most times of the year. I always try and allow more buffer in winter. I've turtled it twice. But that was going through a mountain range on a 80 percent charge. It really drives good.good torque to really get moving. It's not quick but it's notslow either. Super useful power to pass on passing lanes especially if you putit in sports mode. It feels quite nice
The OG Ioniq (28 and 38kW) are the best gateway drug into the world of EV's, lots of Tech, awesome efficiency, only let down by the slow charge rate of the 38kW :)
I have a 28kWh Ioniq. Long term efficiency is currently sat at 5.1 miles/kWh The range of the car is greater than my own so I often stop after about two hours for a break and a coffee by which time the car has charged up to 95% in about 30 minutes. Given a decent charger I have seen 64 kW going in.
hello! i have ioniq 2017 28kwh. It is 310.000km and have degradation of battery, capasity is 22kwh (new 26kwh). I think it the best car of the world) Was no problem with this car.
we run a fleet of 6 Ioniq's never had a single mechanical issue. 38KW versions give range of 186 -203 miles - consumption from 3.6 - 5.5KW depending on time of year. having said that the standard hybrids are amazing with an average of 60 mpg across many drivers and i often get above 65 miles per gallon on a run.
It really is the car that seems to generate the most positive feedback from it's owners.
I have been driving a leased Ioniq Premium SE 38 kW for exactly two years. After 27,000 miles I have not had a problem. They really are the King of Efficiency. My normal summer efficiency is just over 5 mKh. We have just got back from a holiday (London to Northumberland) just over 1200 miles, a lot of motorway driving. Average efficiency was 4.8. Public charging worked out at 13p per mile. Only had to wait 10 min to charge once. That was at Moto Rugby when some very helpful staff from Gridserve were marshalling the queue very efficiently. I have not had a problem with the speed of charging, just needs some careful planning where to stop. Some owners have problems with the 12v battery going flat so most of us carry an emergency power bank to get going. These cost about £30.
I love my Ioniq 38kWh Premium Jan 2020, range is realistically on the motorway in summer 170-180 but I like to stop at about 150. Winter more like 130-140. It is a good value car. Main things to watch out for is Air Conditioning faults, mine had to have a connector replaced under warranty at 2 years old. Coolant is an issue, the original coolant crystallises and needs a 'power flush' currently covered by a Technical Service Bulleting/Warranty. Will this long term fix the issue? Who knows but lots of owners seeing 'Refill Coolant' warnings which is the first sign of an issue. Rear Tail spoiler can work loose, a fairly easy fix and a rattle can occur due to broken plastic retaining clips on trim. I intend keeping mine until the 8 year battery warranty expires. 4th year service on the 38 is pricey due to the coolant needing changing, in the UK about £500. Other services circa £70-£100. Alloy wheel corrosion can also be an issue. Very very efficient and I regularly see over 5 miles per kWh. Depreciation is heavy if you have owned from new, I got mine at 1.5 years old at £22k but only worth around £10k trade in now as you pointed out in your video.
Does the Premium have all the same driving assists as the Premium SE? LFA LKA, Smart recouperation etc...
I was recommending the original Ioniq to someone on an EV group just today - they were wanting to swap out of their 30kWh Leaf in to something with more range.
A great car with almost other-worldly efficiency...! 😵
Replaced a 64kwh Soul company car with a 38kwh SE, Absolutely destroys the soul for miles per kwh but not suprising given the lack of drag and weight it carries around in comparison. On the subject of motorways did a essex to telford about 190 miles approx a couple of times with a 100% start charge and still had 30 to 40 miles on the GOM at the other end - not bad at all
We have a 17plate 28kw 35K Premium SE model. It has been a joy to own. The daily commute is a 6 mile road trip, so it only gets charged once a week if the weekends are quiet. The charging network hasn't let us down yet and we regularly travel to Bristol from Cambridgeshire. Its perks over the 38kw model are faster charging times but that's splitting hairs really. The 28kw doesn't have an app that the 38kw does have - you just program it through the main display and its up to temp in the cabin every morning ready for the drive into work.
The right tyres will pay dividends on noise, grip and efficiency. The majority of road noise comes from the boot. IF you have boot cover open, you will notice the difference. There's a plastic holdall under the boot floor for bits and pieces but it goes further back then you realise - i stick the charging cable there.
The ioniq suits are lifestyle - so choose with that in mind and it will do you proud. We always look to charge around the 20 mile mark. We had 12 miles indicated and the station was 5 miles away - we crawled in into the charging station with turtle power. A process i wouldn't want anyone to go through. Red light roulette is a no no for EV's - Promise.
We have averaged 4.7miles per kwh - over 15k of its total so far. We don't use eco or power modes, have the climate in Auto mode and run the electric heated suits as and when. Drive at 70 on motorways. Summer is 115miles - winter is 90 miles between the charges on big trips. Love our 28....
Didn't they have ads at one point claiming Hyundai rhymes with Sunday?
Also, I drive a PHEV Ioniq and I wouldn't rexommend it to anyone. It's underpowered and riddled with 12V issues. Mine I got new and it's left me stranded 8 times now due to 12V drain and "Hunday" claims nothing is wrong every time.
Terrific car (38Kw battery, premium model ). Got a new battery fitted on a service recall recently. Battery charges to 374kph and seems to go forever. Bright modern interior with a touch of buck Rodger’s in the 21st Century exterior look. First electric car to have and judging on what I’ve seen from now I’ll never go back to petrol or diesel. As I recently retired I sold my Mercedes 220cdi executive (little or no driving distance to cover) and was a bit apprehensive of going electric. Have travelled all over Ireland with not a single problem either with the car or the charging points. On the recommendation of a good friend I went electric and will never go backwards. The future is electric for cars and hydrogen for HGV’s.
Pity customer service in Irish dealerships are so poor.
EV HGVs have started been used now. Hydrogen would cost a bomb. (see what I did there?)
when will the elephant be coming into the video.
I have a 28. today I got 5.9 miles a unit / kWh. even a 180 miles drive I got 5.7 , with mid trip charge, when i went to the shops. if you do not turn the heater on even in winter you will still get in the 5 miles range to a unit.
the battery charges up to 94% on the 50kW chargers very fast. think from 20% to 94 was apx 30 min.
Is far more easier to just go on a 7 and take 3 hrs and do a town etc.
I would not pick a Leaf over a Ioniq. if you do you are as Mad as the MacMaster. the ioniq wipes the floor with a leaf. better range so cheaper to run.
I was about to purchase a 38kwh version, but desided to wait and see when I descoverd their may be a problem with the battery coolent system. 😢
I agree that when these first came out I really liked them for the fact that looked very much like a regular car and did not stand out like other EVs. Unfortunately I had not been able to get over the huge price jump to go to EV from ICE.
Fast-forward to this past year and thanks to the new tax credits in the USA I started looking for an EV. I began looking into E-Golfs, but rediscovered the Ioniq and picked up a 10,000 mile 2020 Limited for $20,500USD. The tax rebate brought the price down to $16,500 or 13,000 pounds. I've only had it a couple of days, but overall very pleased. It has so many great features.
The only downside that makes me jealous of the European models is the lack of a heat pump. They removed it after the 2019 model, which I suppose was move to offset the cost of the larger battery pack. But it's more than enough range to get me where I need to go, even in winter.
Daughter has just been down to stay with us, in her 2017 28kWh…700 mile round trip. The car is fantastic, quick to charge, frugal and comfortable. It feels nippy also.
Journey only let down by faulty/slow chargers, queues and some rather stroppy/rude EV users trying to rush her off the chargers…one lady even demanding she wait while she charged, rather than share the charge unit. She plugged in. All this malarkey added around 7hrs to her journey.
We drive Tesla and find the hassle she has annoying and frustrating. The 28kWh is superb however, and handles her 50 mile daily commute with ease.
For the money a 38kw costs its damn near impossible to beat it with a similar priced car, even when i purchased mine for more then what current Ioniqs go for, I wouldnt change the car I got. Also I think the charging speed has been overstated by some, you would have to do long journeys often for the charging speed to really matter and at that point, this probably isnt the car for you
I average 300 + .... never really let it get down to that , but do regularly go to 30% and still have 100 km left in the tank .... Mine is a MY22 38kwh .... We live in the bush in southeastern Australia and do a lot of highway drive
I leased a 38kWh three years ago. Done everything I need, reliable efficient and versatile. The only gripe I have is that it's being discontinued and I won't be able to lease a new one when my current lease expires in 2024.
I had a 28 kWh and regularly got 141 miles each full charge. It was the rapid charging rate that was the awesome feature.
Realy agree with you used evs are great value at the moment, if only people could get over the neg press
I think people are slowly learning about EV's for (them) not to be a problem! Just don't know about the UK's sometimes shoddy public charger network, although if more are being built if only 66% of them are working at any one time, that's still better than it used to be!
I have a 38kwh and get 244 miles in summer and rarely get less than 200 miles in winter
Worth mentioning that there is a battery buffer with the real capacity 30.5kWh...28 kWh being the accessible battery. Other videos on UA-cam show >100,000 mile examples doing a battery health check and are seeing no range loss at all. I can't think of any better car for the commute/school run that would outlive any ICE car and need minimal maintenance.
I have a 67 plate 28kw. Great car. Day to day summer range 140 (5kw/mile), 130 motorway miles @ 70. Don’t trust the last 5% to give you the same amount of miles as the first 5%! Charging speed of 66kw up to 80% subject to the charger. Can fill it overnight in the 4 hr Octopus Go window with a 7kW charger.
There is a channel run by an Ionic (68 plate) owner and he gets over 4 miles per KW/h at night with the lights and heating on in the middle of winter! His summer consumption is, indeed, over 6 miles per KW/h which I can only dream of in my Fiat 500e.
I did just that, bought my '18 Ioniq 28 in the summer of 2022 to replace my ICE car as it was getting too expensive to fill it up. I drive at about 20% of the daily cost now while having a silent, luxurious, auto gear car that is so pleasant and comfortable to drive. I have leatherseats with heat and cooling, adaptive cruisecontrol etc. etc.
I get 9-10 km/kWh (5.5-6 m/kWh) in the summer with no problems, I live in the Counstry which makes is possible to drive without any regeneration and do a lot of coasting and it works great.
Thanks, I have a long range EV, circa 300 miles, but increasingly realise I rarely use the range and could easily manage on a smaller battery, especially if the charging infrastructure improves.I could easily live with the larger Ioniq battery model.
Range and 0-60 times have been the big selling points, but they are all fast enough, and range anxiety is just about gone.
My big battery EV is however very good at soaking up my surplus solar leccy, rarely need to use grid power to charge from April through to end of September.
Just ordered a 38 KW Premium SE for £15,995 with under 15k miles on the clock! Looking forward to it
If you call a VW/Seat/Ŝkoda Hotline, the greeting will also mispronounce Ŝkoda. It's very common.
I preferred the 28 but none were available when I needed to buy so found a 38 Premium....£23k last August/September and that was a good price for a '20 plate then believe it or not!
Our first ev and couldnt be happier, coming from a ten year old Skoda Roomster its very exotic and I havent yet worked out how to use half the gizmos! We havent found the slower charging to be an issue even though we have no home charger.
Our local 50kW charger is at Aldi so we do our shop there and save money also with a subscription to the charge provider.
The last time I accidentally charged to 100% because I can only walk slowly the mileage guesstimate showed 216 in normal mode. This was in autumn/winter and I never saw less than 4.5m/kWh , now its warm I'm regularly getting over 7m/kWh.
I should say our journeys are not particularly long and mainly on A and B roads with a few relatively short motorway runs so probably cheating a bit with the numbers to be scrupulously fair. Having said that I did an hours trip in the pouring rain and still got 4.8 out of it which seemed terrible at the time but I now realise is actually rather good compared to say the MGZS I might have bought had the timings been different.
There are two warranty recalls on the 38 for a battery coolant issue and a software update to correct a 12v drain. My car has noticed the first and keeps throwing a replace coolant light but I've had no issues with the 12v. Both are being done at the end of the month under warranty.
I would definitely check to see if the vehicle you're looking at requires them or not and if so have they been done? If you purchase one that needs the coolant change recall find out when the four year major service is due as this replaces the coolant and is very expensive. I'm having that service done at the same time and made sure they deducted the price of the very expensive coolant and halved the service charge. I also had to confirm that they would not change the coolant twice, I kid you not!
Apparently each dealer differs in quality and ability to deal with these things, luckily my local branch, Marshall's in Canterbury seems to be very good having jut had it MOT'd. They say they've done loads of the coolant replacements and have had no returners which is quite unusual according to the owners group.
Buy as new a model as you can now for the warranty, highly recommended!
I would never worry about high mileage either because there are so few moving parts there's little to go wrong. Most dealers still lower the mark up for high mileage cars so thats where the bargains are. As long as the interior isnt too worn and you get a battery state of health check done you should be fine.
Really appreciate this detailed feedback. I find the 38 to be very tempting. My long journeys are for leisure so I can cope with the slower charging, but the coolant issue is a bit of a concern.
@@happysporran the coolant is being changed for a new version under warranty. Maybe go in to your nearest Huyndai and ask them if they've done many and if they've had anyone return with the light showing again. For the reasons this may happen see the video by Go Green Autos on changing the coolant, give him a sub if you haven't already, Matt's a good chap.
The Huyndai owners group on Facebook is quite useful they talk about being able to check different main dealers online for their prices which vary widely, annoyingly. You can also find out which dealers to avoid which seem to know little about the recalls and their EVs in general. I don't quite know how you do this because my tech skills are somewhat limited being a bit long in the tooth! I think it's a part of the Facebook page but I'm not certain.
Good luck we bought ours through Carwow because we were in a hurry. It was our first big online purchase so we were very apprehensive but it all went swimmingly. So we have no regrets and thoroughly enjoy the electric driving experience.👍
Happy owner of an ioniq 28 with 180k km BUT some advice for buyers:
The ioniqs (and i think Kona as well) seem to have a weak reduction gearbox. I have seen quite a few on the used market that said they needed to replace either gearbox or motor bearing somewhere between 120,000-180,000 km.
The previous owner of my car had it replaced at at 150,000 km the LAST week it was still under warranty. So lucky me got a new gearbox and a new motor for free.
So if you want to buy used, listen for any scratching noises when going through corners or accelerating or both.
I now make a point of accelerating and decellerating gently, only shifting gears when fully standig still and only shifting to "park" after having applied the park brake.
Also, i read that changing the oil of the gearbox every 30,000km (or at least the first 30k) will help to prolong the life. Although they say the oil will last the lifetime of the gearbox .... but apparently that is about 200k km. :)
I am hoping on getting my ioniq to +500k km ^^
Second: the BMS is not exactly accurate with reporting the state of health (SoH). Mine did show 100% when it was more like 91% in reality. There are third party tests available from companies like aviloo (no promotion but that is what I used). Costs 100€ and a test drive. Might help with negotiations and or peace of mind. :)
Got very very close to buying one but efficiency is only really any good if your battery is big enough for what your customer needs. An extra 10 kWh in the later battery and it would have been the car that we bought.
Why are prices in GB so low??
People pay too much attention to the drivel in the press, mostly.
Absolutely yes. Got a 38 premium fantastic car. Easy 180 in the summer (highway) 160 in the winter seen 200 before. More than pokey enough. Charging speed is perfectly acceptable.
I have a 2020 Ioniq PHEV, it’s OK, I can get to work and back (30 mile round trip) on EV only in summer, but to be completely honest I now wish I had got a Kona EV LR or Kia eNiro LR instead. With regards to its looks, well that’s in the eye of the beholder anyway, but I quite like it. The lack of a rear wiper is annoying.
Just did, 2021 ioniq. Amazing car. Incredibly efficient
1st owner of a 2018 Ioniq EV Limited Best car ever. 240km in summer here in Canada.
In the US they told us Hyundai rhymed with Sunday. They haven’t told us to say it differently. YET!
I have one i bought 2 years ago
A 2017 28kwh. 90k miles
I feel lucky , ir is a pleasure to drive , everything works and it looks like new!
I purchased an ioniq 28 in Ohio in the US about two months ago. So far it has been one of my favorite cars. I only drive about 4 miles a day during the week so it is beyond practical for me in my daily life. I will say that I have yet to get a dc fast charger to work close to where I live but I have only tried a handful of times and I'm not sure at this point if it's novice ignorance or a faulty charge lock on my car. (If anyone has thoughts I'm open to insight). Overall I would say if your daily commute is under thirty miles it's a perfect car. p.s. the sport mode is underrated and feels way ballsier in a straight line than you would think.
I get a long term 4.7 miles per kWh. That includes many trips with a roof rack which decimates the efficiency. Last weekend the car was driven 180 miles with a result of 6.1miles/kWh. That would be 238miles on a full charge.
Good bargain at present the 38kw, Hyundai flooded the market 3 years go and so there are tonnes of them at auction that have come off lease. If you want to save even more, pay an auction bidding service and you'll be saving a couple of grand on those prices.
Only test driven one(28, 2019, and bought about a month later) in practice but as for theoretical work (at least for the early 2018, early 2019 model), it is a steal for all the tech, safety features and the effecientness of it. I will say, unlike other EV's (imo), it drives like a car, sounds like and looks like car. It blurs the line of car and the more advanced/futureistic EVs that look like spaceships. Some would say "A car is just a car", the ioniq is NOT just a car, it's an introduction to EV motering all while combining the mechanics of the electric engine with the familier feeling of driving a petrol/diesel engine. As long it's been taken care of from the previous owner(s). It is a wonderful car.
I've the 38 model and see in summer 330-345 km range. And that is really doable in Holland where I live. It's a great electric car.
Thanks for this review - really helpful!
I used to have a hybrid version for the last 2 years and it was great, now happily replaced with a Model 3, but the second car is still an ICE car and potentially the 38.3kWh might be a decent replacement going full electric with the fleet! It will be the runabout car, so no impact on the slightly reduced fast charging speed, since it will be getting it's juice at Type 2 charger for 99.9% of the times ..
38kw is reporting 222 on the guess o meter and it will be 3 years old in September
Ioniq classic and Ioniq facelift, both are exceptional cars and are a good buy. Newer cars are unproportional more expensive and do not bring really an advantage that would be worth the price for most people.
The sound is weird Gary. It’s sounds like a boom in the background. Maybe you are banging the table? About 3/4 times apart from that. Interesting video. Is this an ev or a car modeled on a Ice car frame?
😬 not good - I’ll try to sort that out going forward. Ioniq was designed with multiple drivetrains in mind - sold from day 1 (I think) as hybrid/plug in hybrid/full EV - so a little different to the “design a petrol car first and then stick a battery under it” we see from some.
@@ModernHeroesi know this is an old comment but there is pne around 4:35
Sounds to me like you hit the mic or maybe the desk the mic is on
I see 150 in summer and 130 in winter on my 28
Just bought a 38 for 10k€, 65000 km, pretty good car, i swapped a 330D for it.
Having had a Leaf and an Ioniq 38kwh, i wouldnt get a Leaf. The platform is dated, efficiency is worse. Id get the Ioniq every day of the week.
Iv'e never had an EV but if i were to buy one then this would be my choice.
I like that it's a normal looking car and really like the efficiency of these cars.
Wish they would produce more cars like these instead of great big boxes on wheels with huge battery packs and terrible range for the size of battery.
We had Huyundai as a vehicle used for the business. It was in use a lot and racked up a lot of miles. Very dissapointed that the windows and gearbox in many of them failed very early on. Certainly put me off ever buying one, and a couple of areas worth checking I'd your buying an older one.
Gear box oil is an issue, on my 38 I changed the oil out at 15k myself and fitted a £30 magnetic sump plug to replace the original non magnetic item, oil was black with metal fillings present, changed again at 30k and clean and clear - Check the forum's as it's been described on both the ioniq and Kona threads
Ionic 6 vs 5? Which one do you recommend?
I have the 38kw premium se. Love the heated and vented seats. Adaptive cc, rear cross alert and economy are fantastic. Good app also.
Had zero problems. Love it
£3 to charge 0 to 100 on octopus intelligent
I have a 38Kwh premium that has to go back in April next year and i am not sure what car to go for next. I will have paid arount £7.500 for the three year lease and did not realise how well specced it is until I started looking online aat a replacement.
I did cosider getting an MG4, but to get all the extras, like heated seats, adaptive cruise control etc, I would have to buy the trohy model, which is over £32,000 atm. So I am considering a Nissan Leaf, say a 1 year old Tekna, which are around £19000 or a 1 year old MG5 excite, which is the same price?, decisions decisions
I've just put a deposit on the red, bottom of the market car you feature in this video. I'll let you know how I get on!
Good luck! It does look properly tidy to be fair - a lot better than the usual bottom of the market drivel I find 😆
@@ModernHeroes thank you. They seem a nice bunch. Putting a couple of new tyres on, and fixing a minor ding. Full Hyundai history. What could possibly go wrong! And I chipped £200 off the price. Also, I've noticed one of my credit cards is offering £10k zero percent balance transfer for one year. Kerching! Keep up the excellent work. Love the cat.
AWD or RWD? Which one do you recommend?
38kw battery, I get between 5.5 and 6 mkWh
Could get more if I manually did the regen paddles but I’m lazy 😂
Great car. Charges quickly, without an octopus go type tariff it’s about 10£ to charge at home
£3.60 for a full charge 👍
I had the 28 for 3 years and changed to the 38 last summer. Best range was 159 miles in the 28 and 210 in the 38 - both summer temperatures. A great car and cavernous with seats down - racing bike fits easily without taking any wheels off and also a very long stepladder. Thoroughly recommend it.
Thanks for sharing - seems everyone that owns them is hugely happy with them, never hear a bad word!!
even better at 3-4 years old its probably still in warranty!
One of my main considerations for my next car is boot capacity. Any ideas on what it is for the Ionic? At the moment, the MG5 is top of my list.
Fair bit smaller than the MG5 it seems - 371 litre versus 479 according to a quick google.
In real world usage it's not bad at all. The volume is small but it's large but shallow meaning great for prams and dogs etc
They both charge at the same speed. Only when DC charging the older model is faster.
So they don’t both charge at the same speed then… 🤷♂️
@@ModernHeroesnope, they altered the battery chemistry on the 38 too

Here we go...preparing to be depressed....😅
Not really, wouldnt sell it for any money!
Brillaunt car
3 years of regular 110 mile commute with a 140 twice a month no problem once you realise the predicted range is very accurate so you can get home with single digits left
Electric vehicles are only suitable for local journeys, and cost more than petrol hybrids to run, insurance is starting to stipulate about £800 excess on fire damage cover + you will be paying road tax now and fast charging costs more petrol costs !!!
Put… down… the Daily Mail 🤦♂️
There is not one true statement in this
@@geoffjolliffe6509 I think the road tax thing is correct, or vehicle excise duty or whatever it is called lol. I believe in 2 years all BEV`s will have to pay it and I also thimk that cureent BEV`s that do not at the moment pay will also have to start paying as well, which I think is wrong as a mate of mine pays £20 for his 2Ltr diesel and that will stay with the car for the rest of its existance
Should you?
No brainer,
No.
Get a good S/H Diesel, EV's are not the way forward, or even green.
You are totally 100% wrong. EVs are significantly cleaner than fossil cars, this is an irrefutable fact. Only ill informed petrol heads and the fossil fuel industry continues pedalling your easily proven nonsense. You cant get anywhere near a 3 pence per mile cost with ANY diesel car either. Wake up man!
Ioniq 28kwh owner, done 30000 miles in 18 months, I live in Cornwall and use it as my daily driver for work, I get around 140 miles in summer and 110 in winter with mixed 70-30mph driving. Super efficient, good trim level and quick charging, 10-80% in 17mins, it’s the benchmark vehicle for value, efficiency, charging curve (flat) 62kw to 80%.
