Plenty of Space, Super Comfortable, and Amazing Gas Mileage
The 2017 Hyundai Ioniq is very indicative of the Hyundai Elantra. It has plenty of space, boasting a hatchback that can fit 2 suitcases, one large gym duffel bag, 2 backpacks, and room for dance costumes and shoes. The seating has head room for even the tallest passengers (my Grandfather who is 6 foot 2 and my Uncle who is 6 foot 4). I love how comfortable the rear seats are, but the pattern of the cloth interior is also really stylish. The driver's seat has adjustable lower lumbar support, which is perfect since I commute 60 miles one way to work each day. The D-shaped steering wheel gives me plenty of leg room while also being quite comfortable to hold on those long drives. The climate controls, entertainment system, and safety features are all exceptionally helpful and intuitive to use. I personally love the ability to pair my Google Pixel and use Android Auto while I drive to respond to messages, change the music, and make calls.
Finally, the gas mileage is absolutely out of this world. Not only do the EPA Ratings beat the Prius, the vehicle beats its own EPA Ratings in real life! My Ioniq SEL is averaging 59 mpg highway and 63 mpg city. Don't even get me started on how much I love the Sport mode! On the NJ Parkway or Turnpike, I can kick it into sport mode and feel like I can keep up with traffic or just have fun as I coast down the highway to the beach. It is really fun to drive in sport mode, but eco mode doesn't feel sluggish or weak. I still have great acceleration and kick in sport mode and I still average in the mid 50s for fuel efficiency.
The Ioniq is perfect for me due to my long commutes and frequent road trips. I wish the Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid was available back in March when I was car shopping since I prefer plug-ins over regular hybrids, but this vehicle does not disappoint.
For the price, this vehicle exceeds expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable, spacious, and fuel efficient car.
