Best Hybrid on the Market
I love my Ioniq Hybrid. I'm averaging between 52-55mpg in my limited trim with a lot of inclines in my area and get up to 600 miles on one tank of gas. It's fun to drive and much better looking than its only real competitor, the Prius. I bought the Ioniq a few months ago; previously, I was driving a used 2005 Honda CR-V for the past six years. When it finally crossed the 240,000 mile mark, I wanted to upgrade my car. I no longer needed a big car since I'm usually the only person in my car, but I wanted a car that has a hatchback since I frequently have a lot of gear in my car. I was also looking for a car that would get at least double the poor mileage I was getting in my CR-V. I considered a Prius but have always been super turned off by the interior. A friend of mine was gushing to me about his Hyundai Elantra, so I took a look to see if any of Hyundai's cars were offered as hybrids. That's how I discovered the Ioniq. I test drove it twice at two different dealerships, one test drive included highway driving and the other didn't. I had a good sense for how the Ioniq acted in mixed driving and I was in love. The acceleration was smooth and the ride quality was so much quieter than my CR-V. I was impressed at the fact that I could get up to 55 mpg in the limited trim, which was the trim I wanted since it had leather seats and a host of safety features. I was able to secure a great deal on the car with 0% financing for 5 years. I've had the car for almost a month now and since I drive a lot for work, I'm about to hit 1,000 miles. I've had absolutely no problems with the car so far. One thing I love is the fact that the AC can be on full blast when the gasoline engine is off - it's a dream when I'm sitting in traffic during a hot summer day knowing that I don't need to choose between sweating my a** off or getting good MPG. I can honestly say my driving has also gotten a lot better because I drive more economically to get the best fuel economy possible, so I feel more relaxed behind the wheel. I'm also thrilled with the safety features like blind spot monitoring and the rear view camera, to name a few. They've been a huge upgrade for me from a 2005 car. I also bought the ultimate package with the limited trim which includes smart cruise, HID headlights with light bending technology, automatic braking and a premium infinity stereo with clarifi technology (to restore sound quality on radio stations), among other things. The headlights are so useful at night and actually do bend with you when you're turning on a windy road - the visibility is fantastic. I'm also a huge audiophile and with a little tweak of the bass/treble settings on the stereo system, I'm very impressed with the sound quality of the Infinity Stereo system. It's much better than any stereo I've heard in any other sedan. I use Apple CarPlay on a daily basis as well which eliminates the need for me to be fumbling with my phone while I'm driving. No longer do I need to worry about texting and driving. With Apple CarPlay, you can text anyone with Siri and ask Siri to get you directions to anywhere using Apple Maps, another huge plus. Hyundai really did think of everything with this car and it's fun to drive. If you're in the market for a Hybrid and you're not a fan of the Prius, the Ioniq just might be the car for you.
