Thanks for actually reviewing a base model instead of exclusively the highest trim with all the expensive nonsense like every other video out there!

I've put over 1200 miles on mine and totaling 63.5 mpg for the life of the vehicle. I routinely get 70+ mpg for my daily 40 mile trip to and from work.

Looks much less weird than the Prius

Hyundai achieving that level of efficiency with a DCT transmission is astonishing. Great review.

Nice to see you review a base model. I’m always curious how the base models look but never get to see because almost all of the reviewers just review the top model. Will you be reviewing the Ev version soon?

Hybrids are the better alternative to those costly electric cars. You have the availability of the existing gas stations so you don’t get range anxiety and you can feel good about protecting the environment. It looks much better than the hideous Prius but I’ll go with the Honda Insight.

Just bought my 2020 ioniq after watching your review. Thanks much. For the price, this car offers way more than its competitors.

Ok Joe. How the heck is this a fricking Hybrid with a 6 Speed Automatic Transmission & on top of that a damm Dual Clutch Transmission ☠🤯.

Nice little fuel sipper. Hyundai continues to improve with every new model. Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Just keep a microfiber towel in the center console with your Twinkies to wipe off the fingerprints LOL!

Like other people said, thank you for showing us the base model!

You are such a good auto reporter. All of your videos are top notch. Its just too bad that automakers don't make a wide variety of vehicles to talk about anymore.

the air vents under the grill, on either side of the logo, are open in e mode to keep the engine cool - they close automatically on the highway for aerodynamic efficiency

When the Ioniq's steering wheel looks more sporty than the new Sonata's steering wheel lol

This car is freaking awesome 🔥🔥

OK Joe I’m going to head out to my garage and polish my GT 350 I hope you get yours soon.

Had an opportunity to drive one as my rental car trip, definitely recommend it for a personal commuter car. Saved a ton of gas for my trip and enjoyed all the options it offered. Used cruise control for most of the trip and shockingly the car seemed to be driving itself. Still prefer having more control while driving but the assist really helped and made the experience even better.

I like the body design more over the Prius

I have a 2018 gas/hybrid Ioniq; not a powerful or fun car to drive, but in electric blue it's beautiful and I consistently get 60+ mpg. Great economy car.

Love my new Ioniq Plug-in and can't beat that 10 year/100000 warranty

My dream hybrid sedan! Good review Joe.

we LOVE our IONIQ! I have lots of vids on youtube about road life with ours, we even camp in it! best mpg so far in real life with ours is 67 mpg! fun car!

Just picked one up last week. Black ioniq base model. Love it.

i love the ioniq my bother needs a car i told him about this car 😍😊👏👏

I would like to watch higher trim video for this model.

As soon as I saw the video I had to correct you on the title. I believe it’s spelled ioniq with a Q not a C. Awesome car, my friend has an ultimate model (Canada)

Yes thank you I’ve been waiting for this car♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

The video title led me to believe this would be a comparison between the Ioniq and the Prius, but there was surprisingly little mention of the Prius in the video at all.

I got that one. Love it❤️

I love this car. Hyundai and KIA hybrids are killing it!

Gonna save so much money on gas this definitely gonna be my new daily driver. While my Redeye charger stays safe in the garage.

Putting down the rear seats looked more like a one two four me LOL

It looks great!

It’s 1000% better than Prius because I have one ☝️ and sometimes is giving me 690 miles when is full of gas around 59 mpg

Sadly the rear killed it & the rear door back kinda resembling the Toyota Prius 😕

Previous experience with the dual clutch (2016 Veloster), as well as plenty of step-automatics, I've actually grown very accustom to Kia's "iVT." I've had CVT's too, namely from Nissan, which were terrible, but I have to rate the iVT, used in my 2020 Forte GT-Line, as one of my favorite transmissions, next to my 2016 Charger's 8-speed auto.

Just got loaded 2020 ioniq plugin with my gf - so much tech and it handles flat (I daily drive a Mazda 3 on coilovers, upgraded sway/strut bars and an mr2 turbo with almost every suspension mod that I track so I have a lot of experience in this area). Coming from an older 3 series and the interior quality is as good. Compared to the Prius it has much better acceleration (dual clutch transmission), more space inside and trunk wise, and best of all isn’t ugly like the Prius. The warranties are literally twice as long as the Prius also. The 360 degree sensors help a ton in traffic and parking. The infotainment is easy to use and also android auto. I’ve only owned Mazda’s and Toyotas (BMW is gfs) my entire life but will be buying a genesis or Hyundai or Kia as my next car because of how good this car is.

Mine is blue and I love her

Great review brother

At the beginning of the video - higher trims don't have fog lamps though, I believe they're just DRLs.

Atleast it looks decent compared to the Prius

Great review as always

Thanks a lot for the review!

5:17 May want to avoid calling it an automatic transmission. There is no fluid torque converter, etc. It's a dual-clutch transmission. A very different animal.

Not really my cup of Tea but hey I'll watch this

Way better looking then the old one. Great review as always. Crap that thing gets insane mileage. With the 11.9 gallon tank this will go more then 600 miles on a tank. Impressive. I could drive to California from Albuquerque and only have to fill up once. Crazy. Ha ha at 14:35 you see the domestic Ford Focus driving on its 4th dual clutch transmission.

Great job Joe and big guns, it's a great price point! Please review the higher trims. Thx again, thanking more into buying one of these but will have to drive the Toyota Prius prime and Honda accord Hybrid

Great review!

Great review Joe....as always. I know you may have driven the Kia Niro hybrid as well. Which on did you like better, does one ride better than the other or is one quieter? Thanks!

Great review, you took a boring little car and made it very interesting.

Higher trim reviews please.

I'd really like a video of the plug-in hybrid. thanks

Please review the full electric model

Is this car going to get good mpg on the highway or is a plug in hybrid better for that?

What do you think of this versus the Honda Insight 2020???

I've had my 2020 Ioniq for a year and a half now, and I've had nothing but problems with the electronics. My infotainment system and backup camera have each been replaced twice already (the front proximity sensors also failed), and it's going in for service for another problem with the infotainment system in a couple of weeks. It's been in the shop half a dozen times or so and Hyundai is supposed to let me know this week about buying it back. I'm considering getting a hybrid SUV and thought about looking at the Santa Fe, but I'm very reluctant to consider another Hyundai. I may consider the Honda CR-V, but I'll probably just go back to Toyota. #venza

Almost a perfect hybrid, I just wish they didn't steal that head unit design from the Toyota Corolla.

He INTELLIGENTLY mentions TWICE that this vehicle does “NOT” have a rubber band transmission called a CVT!

Yes. It's a great car.

I'm very impressed. Usually hybrids look awful and drive even worse. Only serious zonk from me is that horizontal split in the back. Awful design that shouldn't be around in the 2020s!

What do you expect from the drivers down in gods waiting room Joe? They’re all looking for a place to pull over and die LOL!

How do you charge it? I see a gas plug but not a charging port

Odds are the Toyota will still be running in 15 years

What about durability?

What happened to the Battery warranty?

Is your brother or twinThe Chevy dude? I swear he looks like you a lot! You should check his Chanel!

DO NOT BUY ONE WITH THE GREY INTERIOR. I drove 4 hours to buy one, and the reflection of the light grey dash on the windshield made it look like the dash was dusty/dirty or you were driving through a dust cloud. It was like there were three swaths of dirt on the windshield due to the way the three dash sections were reflecting. I couldn’t see well, was distracted, and didn’t feel safe. I didn’t buy it and will look for one with the black interior (I drove a lower trim with the black interior and it was fine).

Is that a GHOST at the 13:20 minute

How much to lease per month?

Yeah some 1 year old air condition gone already and toyota doesn't have any belt to change.

Imagine a hyundai guy saying a hyundai is better than Toyota. Go figure.

I would get one, but either a plug in or a full electric. The ability to drive either in the city or down to town and shop or come home without turning on the gas motor is great. The phev is for someone who does a lot of road trips, the ev is for people who don't. Hybrids at the moment are really only worth where they don't exist, large suvs and trucks. The chevy tahoe hybrid a while ago getting 20/20/20 mpg on a 6.0 V8 was phenomenal and GM hasn't been able to match it since. Toyota and ford are really the only two electrifying mainstream large vehicles.

Just like a 63' Corvette. :)

Bought this yesterday after wathcing few reviews prius is too expensive but some how better mpg hyundai hybrid is cheaper lol. 😂😂 and fact that im korean have to go for hyundai next one ionq5 N!

I would still prefer a Prius

On the interior part now

What's the 5-year projected resale value of a 2020 Ioniq Plug-in vs a 2020 Prius Prime?

Compare this to Kia niro

how is CVT bad over 6 spd AT? CVT maintains RPM while accelerating and is way batter in passing other cars

The infotainment system was stolen right off the new 2020 Toyota Corolla

Another Hybrid vehicle. But I like Prius tbh bc Toyota in the house. 😎

That infotainment system design looks familiar...

Nothing beats the familiarity and reliability of the prius

Wao the mpg's is amazing! Hyundai needed that. They always were behind in that department

How many Twinkies does that center console hold Joe? LMAO!

Hyundai not Honday......

is nobody gonna the fact he said “put your arm on your sisters...head” as he reached her thigh

I Own A Prius

the ioniw has a DCT, not an automatic by the way

My all wheel drive Prius gives me 60+ mpg round town .And there us no cat in Prius. It hasa electric motors that electronically simulates variable speed. It drives more like the model 3 than a cat. Because it's the same technology. That's why I bought my model 3.

👍

Two questions: 1. The first gen got knocked for the headlights, receiving acceptable, marginal, or poor ratings from IIHS depending on trim level/headlight type. I know IIHS ratings for the 2nd gen are not available yet, but are the headlights better? 2. Can the infotainment system be operated while wearing regular gloves, or do they have to be tech gloves?

looks like a impreza kinda lol

I think they're competing to see who can be the ugliest! Is it the Prius or the Ioniq?

Sup Joe

Prius is way better

science experiment...RIP Prius ...lol

Show me one with 300k miles and no mechanical issues

Hyundai>ugly ass hondas

Glad theirs no CVT. Still don't like this Car Joe, or Hybrids in general.
