When you're driving really fast, is the car in sport mode?

Hmm, it's pretty expensive in our country, but really not bad :) @Ethan Baker

@MK Automotive So would you recommend this car? Does it drive like a normal car?

Nope. Only when accelerating.

How did you make the sound at 2:48 of the video? Also 3:11 and 3:55.

Is the engine machine, is a sound "emulated" to give you the experencie in the sport mode

Great #noob - Total #stupido driving on narrow roads and in these conditions!

Does the engine stop when you approach a red traffic light ?

yes, after a few seconds when you're not moving it stops.

Richard B its an Hybrid So yes

Interresting to saw how fast it is going to 160... But man!!! Are you crazy or nuts to drive so fast on a so much poor road with that kind of weather conditions?! You want to die just for the show? 😱 Is there none any highway in your little country? 🙄Postarat se o sebe bratr 😉

I too feel that the speeds displayed were in excess of what the road and weather conditions could safely handle. With a closed course and clear, dry pavement... maybe. But that road looked pretty wet to me.

Nice driving

About the ev model, they are not really recomended for ppl without a house/own charge station?

2:20 seriously you have to put the turn light for every little maniouver you have? lol

selvmortsydd please shred your license

selvmortsydd how am I retarded? You just said you never use your blinker. If anyone, you’re the retarded one. Get off the road.

@No Uploads Are you really retarded? Or just dumb?

@selvmortsydd yeah say that when your standing next to a car crash you caused because you cut someone off.

@No Uploads Maybe you shouldn't take everything so goddamn serious..

我草，大哥别用生命开玩笑，不要为了弄个视频就这么冒险，在这种天气下，这种场地，还是别弄了。又一个外国人为什么这么少系列

Thank you for the video, but I have to say you are a fool! Driving these speeds in these kind of conditions? That's just stupid.

read the description dipshits

Yeah, well- driving within speed limits does actually increase safety ;)

lol ok. Your idea of road safety is probably driving in the left lane at the speed limit.

"What are you talking about? Road is perfectly clear." This kind of attitude is the reason why people fatally die in car crashes that could have been easily avoided. He's just asking to wreck his car.

Urmas K What are you talking about? Road is perfectly clear.

It seems to go 0-100 km/h in less than 8 seconds, which would be way faster than what it says on the sheet. Can you confirm or maybe explain that? Thanks

The 'regular' hybrid model does 0-100 KM in about 10 seconds. The plug in hybrid does it in 8.3, mostly because the electric motor provides a larger assist in the low speed range.

more like 9.3 seconds

the 0-100 by gps is 10.2
for example the toyota auris is around 11.5

Can you have the RPM counter pop up without being in sport mode

Unfortunately not .

MK Automotive Alright. I still love this car though

We didn't find this feature. Most likely - it's not possible

How did you like driving this vehicle? I'm between this and the prime. Thanks

Kev L it’s fucking beautiful car

jcrarela. prime, the most fucking ugly car on this planet.

Actually, it's pretty nice car to drive. Steering wheel comunicates, and the level of quietness is very good. It's also enough spaceous. We liked that car (except little disappointment from dashboard materials).

very nice, if you want to test it ev mode to the limit, from zero to what speed the car will stay in ev, the prius only manges the stay on ev up to 40km\h then the engine kicks in

Does it stay in EV mode when using cruise control at 100km/h?

They are actually different hybrid systems the Hyundai use transmission mounted motor Toyota use dual motor power split transmission>

If you have enough charge in the battery and your foot is gentle you can get to 60mph without engine kick in!

Correct-ish. The Prius is identical to the Ioniq Hybrid in that it does not have a plug-in charge point for the battery. But they do have very simialr battery capacity and performance in a direct comparison. But the approach for each is slightly different - the Ioniq has smarter electronics about where/when to use it. And it has sport mode. And a Dual Clutch Transmission. But if you want to have more control over when battery is used, then you need to wait for the Plug-In.

The problem is likely your foot on the gas pedal. I have 5,500 miles / 8800 km on a Premium SE, purchased in January and have no trouble keeping it in EV mode at speeds up to 80 mph / 130 km/h. The dynamics of the car follow the `enthusiasm` of the driver so the engine will cut in to assist the motor whenever and wherever the car decides the driver wants it.
