In my opinion resale value on most cars are not that great and yes sure Koreans are worse but a hybrid sorta balances that. If you commute a lot and you’re willing to keep the car over 5 years gas savings can offset perceived worse resale. I also suspect as time goes by anything that isn’t a hybrid or using some gas saving tech will be a harder sell. This is also my opinion btw #nofacts
I am also a anti Korean hypocrite. I would be hesitant to buy a Korean vehicle in general but the Ioniq has an interesting value proposition.

I could see this happening for sure. After paying the real/unsubsidised price of gas (i.e putting premium) for the past 5 years and burning off a good deal of it in standstill traffic, I wouldn't dream of buying a car that wasn't a hybrid...any car that is straight gas is immediately less valuable to me. But then again I was thinking that hybrid cars get much better gas mileage in bumper to bumper traffic (typical conditions here) and average/normal gas mileage at highway speeds (80km/h for long periods). Is that truly the case?
I think Hyundais/Kias are pretty robust cars now though, plenty 10+ year old diesel Sportages and Tucsons around chugging away normal.

I personally know several persons with Hyundai's and had no major issues but still interested in getting feedback from persons that drive the vehicle on a day to day basis to see if it lives up to the hype.

It does. Right now, The car averages 800-850km on a tank. I'm at the gas station once every three weeks. Gas savings alone make this car so amazing. Hey tonight I went POS to UWI on the electric motor alone cause of traffic with AC on. No complaints from me.

The gas engine did not turn on once?

Moving from a Mazda to a Hyundai would be an upgrade

Honestly, I'm not worried about the resale value. The car was bought to serve a purpose and it's doing just that. There are quite a few on the roads currently and abroad and there hasn't been a major issue with the car or the parts. I'm also sure Massy is stocking the parts. If not, As with most new cars, Parts will be available via the world wide web if not already.

When the car switches to the battery how much mileage do you get from it...on the battery run.....
Seems this is more feasible than cng as I heard that u can only get 100km on a full tank of cng......still need to recheck that info though...
