Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Limited 4dr Hatchback Exterior Shown

If you're looking for a fuel-efficient commuter and errand runner, you should take a look at the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. It offers the practicality of a hatchback plus great fuel economy of more than 50 mpg. Hyundai's strong warranty is an added bonus. But we're less enamored with the Ioniq's tepid performance and somewhat drab interior.

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

Has a smooth but by-design hybrid acceleration (which is spongy and sluggish unless you really get aggressive with the pedal). This is somewhat mitigated by the sport mode, which is an on-the-fly shift on/off while in "D" (drive gear). The cockpit is low to the ground, so you must lift yourself out of it, but not too low. Folks with back injuries might have difficulty. The tech …

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I have been wanting a more economical vehicle for several years, but did not care for the style and ride of what was offered. Then I read about the Hyundai line of Ioniq vehicles and was impressed. I did much research and talking with several Hyundai dealers and finally made a deal for a white Ioniq Limited with the Ultimate package. I have had the Ioniq for almost a month now and have …

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid Blue 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

I just leased a brand new 2019 Hyundai Ionic Hybrid blue. It is the basic cheapest hybrid you can buy and I got the base cheapest model/version of this car. The car looks more awesome then Honda or Toyota in my opinion, and I love hatchbacks. The bright blue color is attractive and beautiful. It shifts well and is automatically in the economy mode all the time, but you can easily switch …

Mixed Feelings - on its second strike -buy a Prius

Matthew Mayne, 07/10/2020

2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid SEL 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6AM)

Still bitter about neither the 2019 SEL or 2020 Limited making it to 30,000 without needing major work done or stumping the technicians. Around $64,000 financed, and I have nothing but increased debt, resentment towards a once-great dealership, and a 15 year old Mazda that will probably still be running like a champ long after both those Hyundais are recycled by their subsequent buyers. … Short version: Bad: - horrid depreciation - transmission replaced at 27,000 miles - fuel injector replaced at 30,000 miles - great customer service from dealer - stuck in this car...hoping it lasts through 1) the warranty, 2) the financing Good: - comfortable, I have taken it to Florida, Wisconsin, Tennessee, the coast, the mountains, and - efficient! I had a tank of fuel where I averaged 70 mpg, and haven't had a tank average less than 50 mpg! - stylish/handsome - feels well-built/solid -well-appointed/optioned - the sound system is great, ApplePlay is nice (when it doesn't crash), the adaptive cruise control is a game changer for my commute, and the hatchback design provides ample cargo space. Background: I have owned 3 hybrids previously (2007 Prius 4, 2009 Prius 2, and 2016 Rav4 XLE), and have enjoyed them very much. The Prii were purchased used with 144,000 miles and 102,000 miles, respectively; the Rav4 was purchased new) After doing research and price shopping, I chose to purchase the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq SEL, as it was the best bang for my buck, had excellent rebates, and came with a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and a lifetime warranty on the hybrid battery. By the second service, I noticed that the transmission was not finding or holding gears well. Upon telling an advisor, I was told that those who were "uneducated" as to how a DCT works, will oft think that it is malfunctioning. By the time the 27,500 rolled around, the transmission was grinding upon deceleration to the point that a passenger accused me of grinding gears. Once again I brought this up to a service advisor, and they humored me by saying they would resurface the rotors. I told them that after they resurfaced the rotors, I would appreciate them taking the car for a test drive and decelerate from 60 to 40 mph, and tell me what they heard. After performing the test as I described, they determined that there was a problem. Unfortunately they weren't sure if it was the hybrid system or the transmission. My car was in their shop for two weeks (give or take a day), and the transmission was replaced under warranty. I requested an itemized shop bill at what the cost would have been if I had paid out of pocket, and it was over $7,000! Hyundai corporate reached out to me to ensure that I was satisfied with the service that the dealership was providing, and that I was still satisfied with my car. I was thrilled by the great service at my Hyundai dealership (Johnson Hyundai in Cary, NC), as they did their best to bridge the gap between what I was sold and what I received. Hyundai declined to offer an extension on the warranty, and after a lengthy delay in responses on their part, I received a response from corporate. Since I did not respond to them within 48 hours of the receipt of their e-mail, they deemed the case closed. This tells me that their care and concern is about as long-lasting as their product. In conclusion: I cannot in good faith recommend this car to anyone. It will have to make it to 100,000 miles without so much as a misfire for me to be able to recommend it. The car has great features and the efficiency is the best in the class, but there's a reason that Hyundai priced it so low and offered incentives. There's also a reason that there aren't very many old Hyundai vehicles on the road, and that was something I should have taken into consideration. Live and learn. Here's hoping that the little car improves with age, and I am once again satisfied with my purchase...however, so far it has merely put me on a first name basis with the service department and dealership managers.
