Hyundai Ioniq Electric Hatchback (2016 - 2022) Premium SE Electric auto 5d Owner Review

I took a long time choosing this car and drove pretty much all of the alternatives. Some drove better and faster for sure but for the balance of price, performance, practicality and efficiency this was the one for me. Its surprisingly quick on A and B roads despite the published figures. This is due to the electric torque and always being in the right gear. I can cover journeys in the same time as I could in my previous BMW M135 and hear the radio a lot clearer. It came with 4 years Man warranty and 4 years free servicing. In Scotland so public charging is free in most places I use and home charging is virtually zero so it costs almost nothing to run. Charging speed is adequate on rapid chargers when you learn the sweet spot range to charge in. Not a good long distance car though I'd not want to use it beyond a 300 mile range say. Ergonomics can be a bit frustrating at times ie "Auto Hold" is not Auto at all as you have to select it so it should be called "hold". I also run a VW GTE which has better ergonomics but its certainly not "honest"
