Hyundai Ioniq efficiency, noise and weight tests 

Bought Ioniq on your recommendation and still loving it! Thank you Björn!

3 years ago when this video got online I was just in the process of buying an electric car and what can I say, I still drive the Ioniq I bought back than. Now after driving it almost 50000km I am still quite happy with it, it serves my daily purpose very well an also going on holyday with it is no problem at all.

We bought my wife's Ioniq after seeing your test in Norway last winter. I liked my wife's Ioniq EV so much, I bought a used one to replace my 5 year old Leaf24 :) A massive upgrade!

Thank you for the re-test of the Ioniq!! Your test of the Ioniq last year was one of the reasons I bought it. You prooved that it works really great for us in the Nordic countries. Takk!

I have just ordered the Hyundai Ioniq, in part (well mostly) thanks to your video's.

Thank you so much Mr. Bjorn for this video! It's so nice to see that my favourite youtuber hasn't forgotten about my car (it feels like my Ioniq is somewhat a little less obsolete than it seemed before with all the new 64 kWh beauties on the road now). Cheers and all the best to you sir!

Hi Bjorn, so good to see another Ioniq video from you. I now drive one since last september, which I owe you for a big part. And know what? I thank you every day I drive it !!!!! Best regards from south of France, Pierre

Thanks for the winter retest Bjorn.

Got my Ioniq 2017 used earlier this fall partly due to your excellent analysis videos, notably including how well it does in the cold compared to other EVs. Thanks again. Only thing I wish to make the car better is 50% more range.

I bought a ioniq and im loving it

The Ioniq is a great car! Have driven it for 31.000 km now!

Thank you Björn, Ioniq is really the best in low consumption. Now the Kona and your followers are happy 😇 I hope the Kona is near the eNiro in noise.

Ordered it in September after going through all your videos. Delivery time given was 7 months! Might get it in March if Im lucky. Who is getting it in 3 months I wonder!

Thanks for the video Bjorn! Ioniq has only just this week been released in Australia (finally!!!), and I have ordered one (the EV of course)! Good to hear the wait times for delivery have dropped. I'm sure the wait will be worth it but 3 and a half months is still a LONG time!!! After test driving it 2 days ago - I CANT WAIT to get it!!!

I just bought the hybrid premium model and I think it's really good car especially when I moved from lexus is 250 and I didn't really find it slow and I think it's really nippy car on sport mode and very very economical its unreal

I bought the Ioniq because of your videos, I am very happy with it. Wich car to buy after the Ioniq? Any recommandations?

The interior does look really good. I have a less-than favorable view of these electric cars. Ioniq is changing my mind. Hope their next version will even be much better.

Summer time, my Ioniq regularly hovers around 100-110Wh/km in 100-110 km/h driving conditions. Winter is varying greatly depending on road conditions, but between 150-170Wh/km. With normal heating enabled at -12 C.

Perceiving of noise level is not only about intensity, but also about frequency. So maybe Ioniq is measurably noisier, but it filters out the uncomfortable frequencies, which is why it is subjectively less noisy than what the numbers say.

Great video! Cannot wait until you will perform your tests with Model 3 and compare with other cars.

Oh boy, I was fangirling with TWICE LOL... Nice one Uncle Bjorn.

One of your best videos (there are a good number like this)... Especially because it is genuinely informative! Thank you. One request: please don't swear, it doesn't add any value.

Nice job collecting and organizing all that data. Ioniq looks like a really nice EV. Wish they were producing them in larger quantity. I can't wait for you to get your hands on a Model 3 and subject it to your usual battery of tests. In summer the RWD with 18" wheels is very efficient, while AWD and larger wheels both reduce efficiency noticeably. But winter means different tires, lots of energy used keeping you warm, and schmutz on the roads.

realy nice videos recently Björn and actualy i have Decided to postpone my Change of car until a can aford a used Zoe or Nisan Leaf or what ever i can get. and its all thanks to you Björn.

Thanks for demonstration in winter conditions. Heatpump is fine, also in my gen 1 Leaf, but you don't have to forget that the efficiency of the HP is decreased the lower the temperature outside is. So the Leaf switches to ptc heater lower than 0 deg C because it will make no sense with hp then. Anyway, in a land with a good charging infrastructure, like Norway, you rather can decide for 28kw/h car. Higher capacity nowadays means heavier EV s yet.

Good vídeo. My Ioniq did 49000km. My portuguese numbers would be 110 to 140Wh/km at 90km/h (93km/h), with 140 meaning a big storm, and 155 to 190Wh/km at 120km/h, with 190 being in winter and winter here meaning some 2 degrees C (and Ioniqs sold here don't have heat pump, and neither do the korean ones). So, not being able to do 200km at 90km/h here is science fiction.

What really is impressive with the Ioniq is the range, given its battery size. If you convert 28kwh into gasoline, the Ioniq has a 3.2l gas tank since 1 liter of gas is 8.9kwh. This is insane...

Ioniq BEVs are only just arriving in Australia (we're a bit behind down here) and mine has landed.... can't wait :)

I want you to do an noice test at higher speeds. I know the small ones can't go that fast, but you often drive kind of fast when you are in e.g. germany. I would like a noice test in, say your Tesla, at 200 km/h. So I can compare it to other cars. Keep it up!

Can you test the leaf 2.0? I know it's not your favorite but there isn't much data on it like banana boxes count!

Ordered my Ioniq Electric on Nov 11th due for delivery 20th Dec same colour as the one in this test

Great detailed video again Bjorn, Thanks I think you should rate them 1- to 10 with your opinion of noise levels, just how noisy they feel to you, we value your opinion. Have you any plans to add a Nissan Env 200 to your list of TBTP tests, Hoping to order one soon, 6 month wait for delivery here in the UK, Thanks

Hi Bjørn, looking forward to your kia soul video, its the most ugly car that I love to drive, Driven the large fossil variant in the US. Will we see Model S sound test during winter? Also I dont think I've thanked you, due to your videos I made the Bjørn educated decision to buy a model S about three months ago. Preowned since (can't afford new), would love to drive to Norway for a big EV meet up if you know of one happening Q1 or Q2 2019.

Just made a 200km run with 36kWh e-Golf on motorway at 120km/h on cruise control all the way. Similar consumption figures at -0.5ºC to +1ºC condition with some rain and light headwind. So far, from previous runs at the same speed, I can guess that headwind has more negative effect than outside temperature (considering your battery is already warm)

Have you gotten around to retest the Nissan Leaf in summer? I can't find an update since your comparison with the Ionic last winter. Given the Leaf's disappointing performance last winter compared to the Ionic, I would have expected a thorough retest for it to redeem itself. I would be interested in an update since I am currently comparing the two (Leaf and Ionic) to see which one to buy.

Hey Bjørn you RECOMMEND in 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 28 kwh? I watched somuch video what you tested end always you saying Ioniq 28 kwh it’s good! In 2022 also good you think?

Hello Bjørn, After watching this video and seeing that the 2 best EVs in sound measuring have the same tires, I wonder, could it be the most important factor ? You're getting quite an influencer to me when speaking about EVs, so I'd be very interested (if you have time), to test a single EV, BUT, with as most different tires as possible, partnering with tire manufacturers. Each brand gets you their best tires in terms of silence, and I'm sure that you'll find some followers around you with the same wheels interested in getting free tires if they let you use their wheels on the test car (can be Optimus Prime). Test portion doesn't have to be huge, as long as it's the same for each tires and have some diverse speed sections. You could try braking distance too while you're at it, because hard tires can do less noise, but be catastrophic in terms of braking distance :) Love your videos, I don't have an EV and probably won't be able to afford one until several years, but I love EVs and like that your tests are pretty unusual compared to others so I'm a several months follower now :D

On hatches like that you will find a rubber 'foot' that screws out and stops the hatch from squeaking.

Bjørn, what car would you personally buy if Tesla wasn't around?

Björn, I have an Ioniq on order in Australia, we are getting app support in our market!

Heisann bjørn. Lurte litt på om den referralkoden din går for Model 3 også? Er nå denne RU-vid kanalen som har veiledet meg igjennom denne el-bil jungelen, så er vel denne koden jeg vil bruke :) stå på !:)

Do you recommend Ioniq over model 3 if price is not crucial?

By the way, your wheels aren't the standard ones. They are a lot more open. Maybe it's hurting consumption and noise level as well?

Hello Björn I hope the VW soon brings the ID Neo is at least half as sexy as an ioniq. The Ioniq is already a nice car drove him test. You use many German words Is this normal in Norway? translate with google translater

I think the consumption might have gone down even more of you would have driven farther. Important to get a fully warm battery and car to get stable winter consumption. I think it takes about 60-70km to get consumption down in winter in an Ioniq.

Does it really need to be plugged in to preheat it with the climate control?

What is love!

Hyundai Ioniq, perfectly balanced...

Hos is the Ionic consumption compared to Model 3?

do the leaf again bjørn :) my consumption on my 70km/h daily drive is 18-19kw

Hi Do you think now in almost 2022 ioniq 28 is still good ? I found one for 15000 euro. The midle class. 2017 model.

Wouldn´t it be nice if someone come up with a double capacity replacement bettery for the Ioniq, the removed one could be used to run an inverter for the home.

The locking mechanism of the folding seats in the back likes to rattle a bit.

BMW 730d Blue Performance: (quietest car- big different!): 100 km/h: 58 Dezibel (54 dB bei 50 km/h, 62 dB bei 130 km/h, 67 dB bei 160 km/h).

Hyundai is coming out with 400km Ioniq in 2019. Which car is better the new Ioniq, Kona, or Niro?

I've noticed the rattling on my Ioniq and it was caused by ice freezing between the back glass and the side of the hatch.

I'll take a 64 kWh battery pack and cheaper plastic interior over the Ioniq's smaller battery and nicer interior any day of the week. It sure would be great to see a longer range Ioniq hit the market, though.

I so want an Ioniq with a bit of a bigger battery now - 40kW would do.

I'm going to make a total guess that the Kia Soul will measure louder than expected, due to winter condition. My reasoning is that, unless it is wearing winter tyres, the stiffer walls of the tyres will transmit more road noise into the vehicle body. Ready to be shot down there. 😎

why did you kill an old Leafs already? they are still alive, so you could do a new comparison test with newer cars

this car needs 40kwh upgrade. summer range will be easily 300km

So cheap, yet it's $60,000 in New Zealand :(

But we do have an EV half-that- sexy than the Ioniq . What was it? Let me think. .....So, in mind we have one. Hopefully

It looks as if noise is inversely proportional to wheel size....

What’s up

Bought my Ioniq from Hyundai of Homestead in Florida, biggest thieves of all the dealerships!

The higher efficiency is probably due to the smaller battery pack

From gay pop to k pop hehehe :)

Three and a half months! WTF are hyundai hand building their vehicles? Kia and hyundai have to stop this sheeet ;) NO more compliance vehicles start making bevs like your ICE! ;)

Clean your lens, it’s digusting

Well probably twizy has lower consumption...
