Amazing Vehicle!!

This vehicle is absolutely amazing!! It's not much different from its predecessor (which is also amazing), but it does have a few upgrades that are nice.

So far so good

I've only owned this car for 5 days, but so far I really love it. It's quiet, it's smooth, it's comfortable and it gets great gas mileage. Every time I drive it, the MPG goes up. I'm currently at 47 MPG after about 190 miles. In the warmer months I expect to get well over 50 mpg. Other reviews I've read have been critical of the car's acceleration, but, hey, it's a hybrid. In normal driving it's just fine, but if you want or need some extra boost, just shift into sport mode and the car delivers a burst of energy. Keeping it in sport mode will lower your gas mileage, but you can't have everything. The car comes with a ton of features and I have the SEL trim with the optional tech package that adds some nice safety features: smart cruise control, lane assist and automatic emergency braking. Anyhow, as I said, it's only been five days but so far so good.

Excellent hybrid option

The car was impressive to drive. I especially like the dual clrxh transition over the competitors cvt

Best gas mileage I have ever gotten.

This car met all my expectations and more. The rating of 55mpg is lower than the 62mpg I actually get. This is a hybrid and cannot be compared to non hybrid cars. However it does have a comfortable ride and good handling. I test drove a Prius and Ioniq is far superior.
