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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

You can see out the back on the Ioniq just fine (not so with the new Prius).

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.

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.
