Truly amazing !

This is my first hybrid, 4th Hyundai and I have also driven the Prius before. Ioniq is smooth, quiet, spacious, well designed. I love the mileage, leg space is great (& I am 6'2" !). It gives 55 mpg easily in summer. This is the best hybrid out there !

A stylish way to treat Mother Nature well

I love this car so far (it?s pretty new to me). It gets gas mileage in the 50s, it?s fun to drive, and it looks great. I wish the rear visibility was a bit better, but otherwise it?s a fantastic car.

Great gas mileage

Great gas mileage. There is extra room because it is a hatchback. I like the seat fabric. 2 tone Beige/black. Lots of leg room. Comfortable riding.

The 2018 Ioniq is Iconic!

From the metallic blue color to the economics and performance of hybrids, the Iconic tops the list for the price. One of the fine bonuses was the discovery that if you have pictures embedded into your mp3 files such as LP covers or pix of the artists, they show up while the song is playing on the 8" screen (I bought the Ultimate package and it is worth it!).The fact that you don't have to reach into your pocket to lock and unlock the car, or for that matter to start it, is cool. The seats automatically move forward to the setting you create once you push the start button. When turning off the engine, they move back to let you exit the car comfortably. You also don't have to manually punch in your destination when using the GPS. You can do it audibly.The stereo system sounds terrific! This could become the best car I have ever owned!

Great gas mileage and sporty, best of both worlds!

I didn?t go out shopping for hybrid, but I love that I?m getting 50 mpg and it drives like a regular car. It?s the best!

Best car I have owned so far

This car is just great! It is super spacious with lot of leg room, the seats are really comfortable and for a hybrid car, I think this has best trunk space. Awesome features like Seat Warmers, Lane change alert and Apple CarPlay for the mid-trim. Recommend it to anyone who wants to save money without compromising on several features.

Great car, our first Hybrid-55 mpg

Meets all my needs and great fuel economy. Our first Hybrid and the performance is amazing. Good leg room and great comfort overall. I recommend a test drive.

This is probably a good car BUT

IT COMES W/O SPARE TIRE! How crazy is that? --- well according to the internet that's something in common to quite a few cars these days. But the dealer could at least tell you, right? So you can prepare yourself (mentally and otherwise) for the huge ordeal that getting a flat w/o a spare is sure to be....

Poor man's Sonata

Rough ride, noisy interior even on city streets. Seat adjustment confusing. I currently own a 2014 Sonata Hybrid. No comparison except for economy. I am retired and comfort trumps economy.
