Used the Scottish Government’s interest free loan to get the 38kwh Ioniq last year. Loan needs to be paid over six years and think I’d be quite happy to keep the car over that length of the time. It’s been fantastic to own and drive.

The ioniq is my first EV and I am starting to realise I have been spoilt in many aspects that will be hard to replicate in my next EV when my lease is up. Especially the efficiency, I've average 4.6 miles per kwh over my 14 months. One side note, the fabric seats in the lower spec (premium) are more comfortable. My mum has the leather seats in the premium SE and I find them rock hard in comparison

As an owner of a 28kWh Ioniq there are a few negatives with the 38kWh model. Slower charging speed is the big one. Some of the 38kWh cars in Australia are subject to a battery replacement recall, which could be viewed as a positive since you might be in line for a brand new battery pack.
@littlebluepanda394
@littlebluepanda394 3 жыл бұрын
The drop in the charge speed is a bit of annoyance, but there are a lot of other positives (Hyundai giveth and they taketh away). I didn't buy the Ioniq in the end because I got a good deal on an MG5, but it was a close thing and both versions are really nice.
@EvClaireScott
@EvClaireScott 3 жыл бұрын
The slower charging isn't a issue. We still see 42-48kw when low and warm. Plus the owners of 38kw ioniq need to stop less times than a 28kw owner as we can travel further on our charge. So I really don't see the problem as such that people keep saying it puts them off! Here in the UK most chargers are 50kw rapids so no one will charge any faster. The 38kw is fantastic and in summer for us is a genuine 200 miles car. #windknife as its come to be known 😆

Hi, I own the 28kwh Ioniq, usually get 5.? M/kWh, drives like a dream. I know what you mean about the tailgate, I miss a rear wiper however the chunky bar across the middle stops headlight dazzle at night from the ridiculous blinding headlights. If you are considering that battery size you need to check the battery origin as there is a global recall on certain Ioniq and kona batteries, allegedly 🤔

James is a very lucky fella! In terms of the car. I was very impressed with the Ioniq 28kwh and the 38kwh is just an extension of this. I don't know how Kia and Hyundai can get the efficiency of their motors so high when other companies (VW, Peugeot etc) can get them not so high? If I could charge at home the Ioniq would be perfect for me, you can get a 28kwh for around £14k and, of course, if you can find them, you can get a charge at 77kw on a 100kw charger! The only problem for me (and its a small one) is you cannot preheat the interior while unplugged - which is a problem in North Wales, when every winter is frosty each morning - unlike the Leaf, Zoe or GTE! The only other problem, of course, is the public charging network for non home chargers, but that's getting better now, especially with the tie up between Ecotricity and Gridserve! For James and Kate, the Ioniq might only be £24k but the Ioniq 5 should only be around 35k+, so might make a good choice, even if only on PCP or HP!

I also bought it second hand and the first drive was the pickup from the previous owner. I drove a leisurely 195 km that evening on a full battery. Nice car. Only negative I can think off is the sound of the tires, otherwise, lovely car.

I have the a 2018 28 kWh Ioniq Premium in Phantom Black with the rear and front plastic parts in full black. I think it's called the black pack. This way it just looks like a car without a grill. I think that looks much better than the separate grill-like plate this has. The charging speed and efficiency makes this 28kWh a pretty good car even with a fairly small battery. The CCS charging speed is between 60 - 70 kW for a large portion of the charging curve. I would like the larger battery of the new Ioniq, but wouldn't want to miss the much faster charging of the first gen Ioniq. If the new one had that, it would be much more attractive for long journeys. With yourself coming form a Tesla, I guess that would be a real drawback for you too in comparison to Supercharging the Tesla on longer trips.

The efficiency that Hyundai and Kia can get out of their EVs is borderline witchcraft. If I could have afforded the e-Niro it would have been my ideal car and the Ioniq was very nearly what I went for, but I got a really good deal on an MG5 in the end. Having a mileage estimator that is actually accurate would have been nice, though. Only Hyundai and Kia seem to be able to do that.

So I'd say that's pretty good for a road trip wouldn't you 😉 Owners of the 28kw previous version would have to make at least 2 stops id say.

I drove a ioniq 28 for 3 years and 90,000 km. Absolutely loved the car and wanted to replace it with the 38. However its appalling limitations with regards to rapid charges, especially multiples in a single day, made this car unusable for my personal use case. Ended up buying an esoul instead. The ioniq is a brilliant car, it's efficiency puts all bar some teslas to absolute shame. However if you are planning regulat long trips and will need to rapid charge you need to be aware of this limitation.

I agree about the split rear screen, but it does seem to be popular in several Japanese and Korean cars. However I do love the seats in my 2017 Ioniq, I find it to be one of the most comfortable cars, along with a Volvo I owned in the UK. Regards to the looks, when you are in the car you are not looking at the car and when your parked up you don't stand around looking at it, but overall it's styled for efficiency. Saying that there are plenty of other cars that I think are less attractive than the Ioniq, maybe you have been spoiled by the Teslas.

I have had no problems with the split screen for seeing out back and if out at night and the car behind is at a certain distance the bar covers the other car lights. my car says it will do 146 miles from full and i totally believe it. but I am not stupid enough to test it or drive to one charger and hope it works

Hey .... Go Florence 😁👍 we all love a piece of cake and monkeys ...... super review ,I have been driving an Ioniq for a while and agree with the comment about the split rear windscreen... it's ridiculous and isn't as self cleaning as it is supposed to be ! Other than that it has been my FAV car so far 😁

The Ioniq is that gem that doesn't sparkle bright so is overlooked. If you're looking for a used ev in this segment you are drawn to the Leaf and to a lesser extent the Zoe or the Golf, completely overlooking the Ioniq. This is odd because it seems to be the most efficient and comes with unrivalled warranties. OK, so it's no poster child but look around you and pick out the glam cars. A car is primarily a tool for a function. For me efficiency and capability always beat looks and I'd always prefer the car which doesn't appeal to the thieves.

Great review of a great car. And it wasn't even designed as a ground-up EV. Just shows how far ahead Hyundai really is in this market. I'd take one of these over a Tesla any day.

I hope you guys get to try an Ioniq 5 when they come out. I think that will fix the issue with the look of this old Ioniq that you drove. These everyday family reviews are much more helpful than the usual ones on youtube.

The Ioniq 5 will be much more expensive the 38kWh and much bigger. It isn't really a comparable car. Very strange that they have chosen to use the Ioniq name for a dramatically different range of cars.

Full marks to the Floz for replacing Daddy. Too cute! You're right Kate, it is ugly and Hyundais are never huge head turners apart from maybe the i30N. For practical motoring it does the job. Where do you go if you drop down from a M3? I sense it's a continuing conundrum? Heated seats get rave reviews from N, particularly when they are most required 😉 I wonder what are the comfiest EV seats? A top 10 is needed! 😆

See I have a Premium SE in black with the tinted windows, it looks so sleek and nice; but I saw a premium in silver the other day and didn't like it. Sometimes just a different colour and something as simple as tinted windows can make a massive difference to looks.

Assume passenger side airbags were disabled to have your daughter there instead of in the back seat. The back window without a massive redesign cannot take a single piece of glass due to angles. Definitely a good car other than the fast charging(50kW+) rate which is unfortunate compared to the original 28kWh.

I believe passenger side airbags are only an issue for rear facing car seats? With a four point belt like in this video, the air bag would probably be more helpful than dangerous?

I've just bought a 28kWh Ioniq. My first EV. I have to agree with you about the split rear window, though I'm noticing it less as time goes on. Also I'm still looking for the best seat position & as you say they are very firm. Another point to note is that the car is pretty low (for good reasons) & I banged my head getting in a couple of times when I first got it. The efficiency is amazing though & I'm really enjoying driving it. Florence is brilliant!

I've had a Premium SE for a year. My only criticism is the range is a little lower than I would like and the max recharge speed isn't great. Model 3 replacement it is not. However Leaseloco have some really good deals at them at the moment. Surprisingly good car though and only 1p/mile to run.
