The really balanced review. I particularly liked your comment around the 'issues' that the EV 'committee' had voiced with regard to the 'Battery Charge Gate' - it's something that definitely should NOT sway people away from the car. We have just received our 38.3 kWh Ionic and absolutely it is a great car 'for us'. It ticks more boxes for us in terms of Use Cases. The tech that has been included in the car is very high - that was a pleasant surprise. There isn't much to dislike in this vehicle. Comfortable, safe and a great first EV. Thanks for the review!

As I wait on the delivery of my 2020 Hyundai Ioniq, I watched your video and I have to say I agree with much of your opinion. This is a stellar choice, especially on the second-hand market as a first EV. It did indeed tick many boxes for me and my family. Sure, my wife and girls would have preferred a 2022 Kia Niro or Kona but we are coming out of a Gen2 Prius, and I kind of look at this as an Electric Hyundai-Prius. Everyone should take a good look at this option. Also, in the US we still don't have nearly as many affordable EV options as in Europe and Asia. The majority of options besides this and the Leaf are upwards of 40 thousand dollars. Thanks for the information and opinion. I just subscribed.

I call it the iconic too lol Have my car 2 weeks now and totally head over heels in love. My first Ev and never driven automatic. It has been a dream to drive. I am definitely a more confident and calmer driver as a result. I get 30km per 10% charge which is my commute to work. Nearly get a full week of commuting if I don't do any other trips. Additionally it's the first time ever I was able to understand and figure out all the additional mod cons in a car. The infotainment is very intuitive. We are all used to touch screen anyway so it makes sense to have it. Sad they have discontinued the ioniq hatchback. Will be keeping this one for a long time. Huge prices on the new Evs and ioniq 5.

Really enjoyed your review of this car. No electric car is perfect, not even a Tesla, but the Ionic does tick a lot of boxes. The weight is pretty low,which is down to the battery being a bit smaller than some but made up for by the overall efficiency of this car. Must have a test drive. 😉

The test drive went very well, I didn’t want to give it back so I bought the premium and red is the colour that I got. I will hopefully get it in a couple of weeks, they are going to the extras for me like ceramic window tinting, the paint treatment to protect the paint work against the UV rays with a 20 year warranty and the carpet and leather seats protection treatment and that is also 20 years warranty against wear on the leather seats. I am also having the front and rear cameras installed(dashcam) so it is done professionally by the Hyundai technicians.

I had the 40kwh leaf and now I drive the ioniq classic. The leaf was smaller inside than the Ioniq. Long Trips the ioniq is more comfortable and let’s not get into rapidgate… I didn’t buy the new ioniq because of the limited charging speed and cold gate issues but it’s still a good car for the money. I would of course recommend the classic if you can get one for cheap but both versions of this car beat the leaf by a long shot

Hi, I have a question for you. I am currently driving a 2020 ford fiesta. My 85 yr old father has been driving an Ionic since 2017, he is on his second one. He has been constantly onto me since to invest in one and I think I am finally going to bow to pressure. Question is, would you recommend it to me? I do quite a bit of driving, especially around my local area with trips to limerick or cork, I am about an hours derive from cork, half hour from limerick. About once a month I drive to see family in carrick on shannon. I would really appreciate some outside advice.

I am looking at the used car market and pondering getting one of these. 180 miles on a full charge, even if there has been some degradation over time, makes this a good commuter car for me. I have a 120 mile round trip from the office to the new house BUT the office allows me to charge and I have installed a charger at the new house. I guess it all comes down to Tesla, will they cut their prices some more by the time I am ready to part with the money. Good video. Any new thoughts about it 2 years later?

Thank God you mentioned the slower charging and the fact that some people quite categorically find this car the worse they have ever driven. If you do your homework and provide a good balance then i think you’ll build up a good following thru kudos. I knew this car is crap compared to 28kwh. So I hoped you didn’t praise the hell out of it . That was a good tester. It’s not the best ev but it might suit people who don’t know cars and the rear torsion beam might not bother them. The suspension is known to be firm to for irish roads. The video and presentation is top notch. 40kwh by the way . Good insight into Hyundai battery tech. And good you mentioned the plastics .

@jusmeig 3 жыл бұрын

Bit of a stretch saying its crap compared to the 28kwh. I drove the 28kwh for 2 years, and I have to say I was not outraged by the slower charge speeds.If you remove the faux outrage of charge gate, its more features and a bigger battery for not much more than I paid for the 28kwh. The trim is also better than the one I got, no electric seats etc. Many newer drivers (and EV drivers) are still suffering the hangover of the billions of euro spent by big auto to convince us all that a car that can drive 300km on a single charge is inadequate (Ironically they are now paying billions of euro to re-educate us...again). For the majority of road users, there might be 3/4 times a year when you are on a long spin, where the slower charging time might impact you. And in fairness if you are charging to 80% each time, the delay is minimal. If you are commuting all day/every day over hundreds of km, then charging speed is 100% a concern, but again this is just a tiny tiny fraction of road users.
