Very happy with the Ionic Hybrid SEL - 2019

We drove our 2019 SEL from CA to OH and back in July 2021. It was a perfect ride. Our cat even got to like it. The Ionic performed better than any advertisement we saw. The sticker indicates mpg @ 57. At best we got 57.6! We didn’t get 57 the whole trip, but our 5100 mile averaged was 54. I stopped leasing after 3 cars to buy this one. Best car I’ve bought in 40 years.

2019 ionic

After 42000 miles I can tell you that the car runs just as well as it did when I 1st got it. The car is extremely well designed and is excellent on gas mileage ranging between 55 in the Winter and 70 in the summer . It pretty much does everything you would want in the car there is just nothing fancy about it. The car handles extremely well especially in a city or a town it is less spectacular on the highway. A shift gear has proven to be rather helpful. Considering its size it really is well designed internally as there's plenty of room for 4 people and there is definitely space in the back. So if you can give up a little bit of the comfort you are driving a really efficient excellent car.

Ioniq 2019 bad experience

Bad Experience overall - Ioniq 2019, repetitive suspension issue, column shaft replacement, and transmission replacement. This is the third time my car has to go for a warranty issue. 1. October 2019, an issue with the suspension with less than 6K miles and in less than 6 months. Defective right rear shock, that was replaced. 2. March 2020, second service, again an issue, this time with a defective speaker that was replaced 3. February 2021 (three more issues on my third visit) Two major issues identified, with 21K miles. Steering wheel column/shaft replaced. The transmission will need to be replaced. Due to a grinding noise upon deceleration. It sounds terrible. - and, again the same suspension issue in the rear back with a popping noise coming from the rear right, that technicians and service team hasn't been able to identify the problem. I am not happy at all with my purchase, when I took the decision to buy a new car was because I didn't want to deal with stress, discomfort, and worries about my family's safety. I don't think this is normal for a car with less than 2 years of use, and less than 22K miles.

Car was love at first sight

Driven the car for 2 years almost 3 and it is great, not the best mileage as advertised, 45-50mpg average vs advertised up to 65MPG and I am a very efficient driver.

Love my Ioniq!

I thought I would always drive a Prius, but when the body was redesigned, I started looking for another hybrid. A friend of mine drives a Hyundai and she likes it so I started looking at the Ioniq. It's super sporty, has all the bells and whistles, and gets great gas mileage.

Got a Leftover 2019 PHEV During COVID its Fantasti

Fully loaded 33k Sticker New 26K after Net Cost State $1500 Rebate Fed $4500 and Covid dealer incentives. Great standard warranty for peace of mind. Handles well. Love the torque in EV mode quicker than most think especially off the line. Owned 6 months filled up Gas only once and I'm averaging 200 MPG-e after 5 months of use 98% EV-Mode. Oil/Filter changes every 2 years @ 10K miles per year with majority EV-mode use. This car is gonna last! When you shut the doors they're Solid which exudes quality. Paint Job only Fair not Great tho. Hyundai only a hair behind Toyota in quality but a great choice for Value! Very pleased with my first Hyundai. Next vehicle will be FULL EV in 5-10 years. Big oil is doomed!

Not sure about the reliability yet

So far fuel mileage has gone up into the 50 mpg range which is good considering how much it will be driven yearly really like the warranty

Best gas mileage

Great gas mileage (51 mph in city)! Leg room is good as well as cargo area in back. A car stopped suddenly in front of me and my car automatically stopped as well, preventing a wreck!
