Exactly but don't the dealers follow the recommendations of the manufacturers who should be absorbing some of the cost to fix vehicles under warranty?

And I usually am Frugal with the gasoline, so a full tank is like 8000 KM to refill and it takes like $150.
So that is like $15 per 800 KM.

So 119 in cng and 15 in gasoline per 850 KM. 134 per 800 KM in cng/gasoline bifuel.

But that is at present cng price. They may double it some time, not now but in a timing.



Hi everyone!

I am a new Ioniq buyer. My last car was a 2016 Honda City CNG, good car but...well where do I have to start? lot of buts...Affordable? Yes. I can second this statement as true! POS-SFDO-POS with 14 TTD, no better! My new Ioniq will be on hands next Friday, so hopefully, I will be able to speak more properly about gasoline consumption.

City CNG is a middle size car with a trunk of a Nissan Match, more or less. And it costed 204k with cheap plastics and bore features.

The Ioniq is for sure very very far away better in terms of luxury and features.



Wasn't the city 156k at launch? When did it get to 204k??? :/


156k was probably at launch. The basic of mine was 175k plus the "extras" (3 yr. Service, insurance, etc.) the total hire price was 204k. BTW, those 3 yr. Extras were not recognised for the writing off payment.

Based on local conditions and fuels 5k interval of an oil change and service is best.

Would just like to know if people who say that did the required oil analysis?

Also how come countries like Australia which is way hitter than Trinidad in some place,Think desert, have extended interval of oil change that are higher than Trinidad

Dry heat is different from Humid heat. Also the populated part of Australia is much further from the equator than we are.
Sydney this time of year is around low 20 ties and humidity is 50 to 70% while T&T is high 20 ties and humidity is in the 90+ percent.

Malaysia is a better match of our climate.

Ok I hear you

What about oil analysis? On what are we basing the need for 5000km oil changes?

Based on vehicles that come into the garage that were doing the long term service either from the dealor or otherwise sludge buildup and wear on the engine was excessive for actual mileage shown on odometer.

Did they have a service history so you could see all the times they serviced or you depended on their word?

They are Lying! Plain and simple ... when you look at most car manufacturers they have service schedules normal and severe condition.

The industry standard for severe conditions is always half of mileage of the normal service mileage

So the Ioniq should be no less than 7500km

The styling is starting to grow on me, I initially didn’t like the front view but feedback to date has been generally positive. Naturally over time we will get a better sense of reliability post warranty. I kinda concur that hybrid/electric is where the industry is headed, it’s just a matter of when you decide to jump on that train. 3rd world markets like ours will always have gas and diesel options as we are always last to invest in infrastructure to support alternative energy, just look at the CNG grid after almost 15 years of introduction.

Anyways back to the Ioniq, a well equipped car with all the tech and comfort needed for your day to day driving, once the looks grow on you.

Hahaha! Man I jumpy on reliability period. I always planned on switching to a hybrid on my next purchase. My preference is SUV due to bigger family though but options are limited, euros starting to jump out of my affordability range.

And...Kia Niro uses exactly the same motor than Ioniq...I'd still rather prefer Hyunday anyway.

Can someone remind me what the warranty on the Ioniq is? Battery and drivetrain warranty separate?

Nope! Wrong again!

There is an engine clutch actuator fluid that has to be replaced at 45K and there is a DCT transmission fluid that needs to be changed at 90K.

These intervals are based on the Malaysian service schedule which is every 15K so may be sooner for the Massy service schedule at 5K.

The link is posted so you can inspect it for yourself.

Thanks for this info...
Massy giving a general service schedule and thr ioniq not included.

So the Ioniq should be no less than 7500km

As a customer, one should be able to ask the dealer to see the official correspondence from the manufacturer to them stating this.

If the manufacturer has fact insisted on that interval, then the dealer and their reps should be more than willing to show this to you.

If they start to change their tone and give excuses on why they can't show you where this was insisted on, then you could probably safely assume they trying to pull wool over your eyes.

Engine/drivetrain etc - is 3 years / 100,000km whichever comes first. The warranty on the lithium ion battery that powers the electric motor is 10 years.

The only euro hybrid I know of is Volvo with the hybrid XC90 on special order from Massy.

Today I saw the first Kia Nero on the road. HDS 1*** I think. Black. It isn't very big. Probably the same size as the Ioniq or maybe a little taller? Need to park next to one. Hopefully soon.

4000KM Update. The car is still amazing. It really does love the highway. Over the past week I've done about 250km on quarter tank. I cannot complain about the gas mileage, the comfort or the silence and presence. Looking to service around Early January? If there are any other Ioniq owners here, Please PM me. Thanks.
