Seeing this 2 years later. I currently drive a 2019 Ioniq blue… I find the seats comfortable. And I am in the car for 8-10 hours a day (Lyft). I will be looking to own one (2022) in the future!
Wow, I'm not getting anything close to that. My Limited claims 55 city and 54 highway. i have nearly 1200 miles on it just driving short trips around town (8 to 12 miles one way). The best mpg I get is around 48 and have gotten as much as 52 (once) . Driving more aggressively, I get at least 44.5mpg. I keep a notebook and do the math myself. My calculations show a lower mpg than the car computer shows. Fro the last 1100 miles around town I calculate 44.5mpg. Can't wait to drive it on a trip to see what I'll get on the highway. In my 60's I have owned a lot of cars. This one is my all time favorite. Fun to drive and great gas mileage.
Got one in November and am very pleased with it. Has been getting better MPG then our other hybrid did, even in the mountains, the only drawback is it doesn't come with a spare tire and I'm still getting use to the slight hesitation in the transmission when accelerating from a stop.
You can buy a spare tire on the internet. In some countries the Ioniq does come with a spare. I would double check to see if it will fit your model though. I am thinking about one because if you get a flat where the the can fix a flat won't work, you are screwed. Also tire shops don't like working on flats with the fix a flat stuff because it leaves a mess in the rim.
I’ve had my Ioniq since June of 2017 and I can say I’ve had no problems with this car. In the city I get around 55-57 mpg and on the highway around 63. I don’t like the new color scheme with the light and dark accents on the doors and seats, but thats me . Also I think the seats are plenty comfortable. I drove mine to upstate NY from Florida and to Texas. I had no comfort issues. It isn’t the most fun vehicle in the world, but I fill up once every 6 weeks or so. It’s a trade off you make. Being a hybrid, it looks like a normal car, which I like. This was my first hybrid so maybe more seasoned owners have different opinions, but I’ve been more than happy with my purchase.
I know comfort is very subjective. I’ve never seen your reviews before so I don’t now what seat you consider acceptable. For me, in my 2018 Blue trim Ionic, the seats are very comfortable. I have zero complaints about them...and I’m a big guy 5’9” #255. Now if you want to talk about hard uncomfortable seats try a Honda Accord or Civic. I’d never buy a Honda for that reason.
This is not a criticism, but with how big rims have gotten, these 15” really stand out, and not necessarily in a bad way. I think the steering wheel might be a larger diameter. Great job to all.
I just wanted to say thank you for the review. I purchased a 2019 limited Ioniq and absolutely love it. This car is my daily and my WRX STI hatchback is currently being built. 😎😀
A lot of people complain about the trunk lip area where they say they have to lift things over. Well they can't lower the bumper and if they raised the trunk floor to clear the lip then you would lose trunk space. I wish Hyundai offered all the features they offered in other countries like ventilated seats, heated steering wheel and a cargo net behind the drivers seat. The only negative thing about the Ioniq is the bad reward visibility but it's a sacrifice for the aerodynamic shape of the car.
@@StarForgedTCG The ventalated seats, heated steering wheel and net behind drivers seat are not available options in the U.S. just as a spare tire is offered in certain countries also and not here unless you buy it aftermarket.
I drive a 2019 plug in hybrid Ioniq. My seats are very comfortable and my passengers have remarked that the seats are fine. They also feel the car rides very smooth and quiet.
Joe Raiti is fast becoming the James Brown of UA-cam car reviewers, in the sense JB was known as the "hardest working man in show business". Joe Raiti may yet also become the second "Godfather of Soul" one day as well. 😉😉
J High love it. Tom’ or Lori is going to have to put a cape on Joe as Joe kneels after a car review. And wipe his forehead with a matching handkerchief.
I have one 2019,Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid limited. I only getting 43 mpg overall .I hope I get at least 50 to 52 mpg. I have bought this vehicle in June 4th 2024 I have heard so much about battery deterioration I was told by UA-cam presentation that both batteries 12 volt and the larger If these can get more air flow to the batteries I wonder how much longer these cars will last. 🤔
Ooooooof I cringed so hard when you said the drag coefficient. Its 0.24, not .29. And front "safety features"? It's a radar for AEB and adaptive cruise control. I generally liked the rest of the review. Good car, I enjoy my 2018.
Hi Joe - 1st timer on your channel - Looking for objective reviews, I liked your review and have now subscribed. I was shopping for Elantra Sport when this one popped on the radar - I was impressed by the MPG's and now need to test drive one, probably a higher trim level though (for the wife). My only concern is how well the AC and heater work. I live in Wisconsin where we get the full weather spectrum. Thanks for the review!
We replaced a 2006 Elantra with the 2019 Ioniq Hybrid SEL. Gas mileage was the first selling point. The rest was handling, acceleration, comfort. Wife did the test driving of multiple cars, and the final contenders were the Kona and the Ioniq. We both agreed the higher gas mileage and larger interior were worth the slightly higher sticker price. We are getting 55MPG in mixed driving conditions, which includes large changes in elevation found in the Seattle area. The entertainment system, including Android Auto, is really great. Voice command phone calls "just works" and with zero voice training. We have not messed with "sports mode". Didn't know it was an option. That is one of the fun things about this car: there are so many selectable options you learn something new weekly. The default settings are conservative, but good. The environmental controls are a good feature. Set the temperature for the driver and the passenger, and forget it. Don't think about "it is 80 outside, must use air conditioning". Think "I like 74*F degrees, set and forget at 74*F, done." The wife likes 71*F, so the passenger side is set slightly cooler. It just works. Another data point: We filled the car 4 times since we bought it in February 2019, and have around 2200mi. That is over 500 mi / fill. Nice.
Hyundai has been making cars way before 1987. They first had an agreement to build Cortinas in 1967 and for example the popular Pony is from 1975 I think.
@Charles Stanley I think you're OK there. We're not all talking the same language. My Ioniq uses 4.4 litres per 100km... That works out at 53.4 mpg (US) = 64.2 mpg (Imperial). We're seeing both figures reported in this thread. It seems like the UK drivers are getting 20% better mileage, but its just that an imperial gallon is 1.2 US gallons (miles are the same).
I wonder how I had a 2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid if they didn't dive into this arena until 2017?. Also, Hyundai has been making cars longer than since 1987. That's when they began selling them in the US (Canada had them before us).
I think this Ionic it’s one of the better looking hybrids in terms of design both exterior and interior vs something typical in the segment like the Toyota Prius... But I wonder how this will sell vs the all new 2020 Corolla Hybrid.
Does your left knee hit against the door while your driving? And if so, is it annoying and uncomfortable or is it soft enough for it to be unnoticeable?
ME, REVIEWING: as you can see, the side mirror are on both sides, there's four wheels, the color is black, it has signal lights and headlights! Oh, and it got a machine!
I own a 2019 ioniq blue (stock) bought it feb 2019 and this is June 4 2019 I get 65 in time light on the gas and 53 on the highway! I’m a heavy guy too. Great for Uber that’s what I use it for! Paid 21k even being honest should have went with a sel. All battery is not worth the money at all 30k for 130 miles in town.
Its not true what the manufracturer said that blue drive is 👌 in Europe Netherlands the gasoline is very expensive 👎 you re not fuel saving with blue drive.
@@RaitisRides thanks for the reply. I had Toyota Prius prime, ionoq, insight and Kia niro in mind and was little confused. My requirement is = drive daily 330 highway miles+ low price + style + good resale value, still u prefer insight ?
Just put 250 miles on a brand new 2019 Ioniq. So far the mpg has been over 60 as I drive very light on the pedal. Regenerative braking feels funny at times. The inside is very cheapo which is reflected in the purchase price. So far so good. Does anyone know why the battery never goes over 60%?
Why make a car that skimps on even the basic comforts for the occupants? Sorry, but my arms, butt, and back are too important to me, so it's a shame that Hyundai cares more about the environment than it does it's potential customers. To put it in a word : injudicious.
Not a fan of hybrid vehicles. They’re very complex and therefore very expensive to repair if something goes wrong. Go full petrol or full electric. Petrol are tried and true, while EVs are simpler. In fact, full electric vehicles are more reliable than petrol as of now.
The drawbacks of full EV's are range anxiety, can't fuel up in a few minutes and your road trip is dictated by charge station availability and takes you from around 45 minutes to hours to charge up and or you better have a hybrid or petrol car as a second car. It's give and take on each one version.
bubba lo All of those points are 100% true, however with electric vehicles you have the luxury of plugging in the car to charge at your home overnight, so every day you leave the house with 100% full charge. In my case, my job is only 4.25 miles away, so every weekday I travel only approximately 8.5 miles. I can plug in my car at home while eating dinner and it’ll be back to 100% before I go to bed. In that sense, not having to go to gasoline stations anymore is quite convenient.
Yeah, that's why I said give and take. For everyday use an electric makes sense and it'll be mainly how everyone uses the vehicle. But if you like road trips then you may need a second car that runs on petrol or both. And also if you forgot to charge the night before or your power goes out you may have a problem. But then again that's only if you live in an area where that is common. For me I have a gas guzzler because I need a large family hauler for road trips, I have a hybrid for when I don't need the gas guzzler and an EV is on my list next.
If you wanna buy your own car, which will you buy; a RS 1.5 Civic Turbo TOURING hatchback or a Hyundai Hev or Phev??? And state all your reasons why, why, why............. Because sooner i'll BUY either of the two......
Hi Rick, as an advocate for the environment, you are not really stating the facts about how a hybrid can help our emissions and environment. Would be nice to get some of that data in there instead of saying "saves a tree or hug a tree". Other than that, great video.
Why not? We've had "Hondays" since 2000 and they've been very reliable. They wouldn't give a 100,000 mile power train and 60,000 b to b warranty if they had to pay for a lot of repairs. And yes, they do support the warranty. Rick Case dealerships double it to 200,000 miles or 20 years.
@@davidm5707 I know Hyundai and KIA make reliable cars because I own a KIA, but I'm talking about this specific model. If it's the Hybrid model, I wouldn't see it as being reliable, due to the complexity in hybrid vehicles. Now, if it were the full-on electric model, it should last you as long, if not, longer than some reliable ICE cars.

I have a 2019 Ioniq Hybrid Limited. The seats are very comfortable in the car. Liked the 2019 so much, I bought two more!
I bought one too liked it so much i bought 3 more!
The Ioniq Hybrid cloth seats are a lot stiffer than the Ioniq Electric cloth seats. It’s very weird, but I promise you that it’s true.
Seats are not comfortable. These are 1 of the worst gripes I have about the interior besides the hard plastic.

If you wanna buy your own car, which will you buy; a RS 1.5 Civic Turbo TOURING hatchback or a Hyundai Hev or Phev??? And state all your reasons why, why, why............. Because sooner i'll BUY either of the two......
I would go with the Civic. Great fuel milage and it rides very rice!

Hi Rick, as an advocate for the environment, you are not really stating the facts about how a hybrid can help our emissions and environment. Would be nice to get some of that data in there instead of saying "saves a tree or hug a tree". Other than that, great video.
outdated model since the 2020 Ioniq is alreay available with new look and upgraded perfs!
Have they hit dealer's yet?
@@RaitisRides It hits dealers in July for the Hybrid and September for the plug in
A'right guys!
It looks beautiful, but I don't think these would be considered "reliable transportation".
Why not? We've had "Hondays" since 2000 and they've been very reliable. They wouldn't give a 100,000 mile power train and 60,000 b to b warranty if they had to pay for a lot of repairs. And yes, they do support the warranty. Rick Case dealerships double it to 200,000 miles or 20 years.
@@davidm5707 I know Hyundai and KIA make reliable cars because I own a KIA, but I'm talking about this specific model. If it's the Hybrid model, I wouldn't see it as being reliable, due to the complexity in hybrid vehicles.
Now, if it were the full-on electric model, it should last you as long, if not, longer than some reliable ICE cars.
@@dave_riots had my 2017 model, put in 150k kms in 3 years. still runs awesome, selling it to my brother and buying the2020 model when it releases
@@StarForgedTCG That's interested, thanks.
Jon Targaryen if your brothers Ioniq battery dies make sure you go in for him for the life time warranty battery.
It's much better in mpg if you have a drink with you while talk.
