Hyundai Ioniq 2020 Electric Car

[Rogerout]

So still considering a Nissan Leaf but also seen an online a Hyundai Ioniq ( 2020). It’s a 100kw 38khwh version.

Does anyone know anything about these cars in terms of how reliable, how comfortable they are?

Cheap to run? Would it cope with a 60 mile round trip to work daily? Cost much to charge ? Apparently the range is over 190 miles.

Any advice appreciated

I had one.

60 miles is easy.
Most efficent EV. I got 4.1mi/kwh average and it was driven like a petrol car on a motorway.
Only issues I had was forgetting to charge before a long run. DC charging is 50kW max and that's hard to achieve.

Infotainment etc all works fine. The boot is decent enough but rear visibility is not. Heat pump is standard in UK.
Needs an expensive service in year 3 for a coolant change, but most had it done under warranty.

Kia Niro might be worth a look as well, very similar car but available with a bigger battery. Not as efficent as the Ioniq though.

Premium SE adds front parking sensors and leather ventilated seats. Premium is enough for everyone I'd say.

Mine only gave me issues with the AC, which was repaired under warranty. I think it never worked from when I bought it.

Is air con problems a standard thing then ? Or were you just unlucky?
