Ioniq Hybrid Blue vs Ioniq 5 Mileage

[rocksteddy]

I've noticed that my Ioniq Blue gets better mileage than my in-laws' Ioniq 5, despite having the same body dimensions and powertrain.

All those fancy hi-tech features and extras in the premium models come with a bit of a trade-off: they suck up more power. That means the engine has to work a bit harder, which can lead to a slight dip in mpg.

Agree with you. I just bought an Ioniq 6 as well and I noticed that it's heavier than the Blue. That's why my Blue is probably getting more mileage than these electric versions.

Do you have the same driving style with both?

My buddy just picked up a Certified Pre-Owned 2019 Blue trim. It's pretty basic compared to the Limited, but that's actually a good thing for EV driving. Features like fog lights, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning can drain the battery.

He left the dealer with the fuel gauge below half and an estimated range of 245 miles. When he got home (about 28 miles away), the gauge was at three-quarters full, and the range jumped to 258 miles! That's pretty impressive.

It could be a bit confusing for his wife, though, since she's not very tech-savvy. But that's another reason why the Blue trim is perfect for them – simpler is often better with EVs.
