So not looking to wait 10 months on the 2023, I've been searching high and low for other PHEV's... Santa Fe PHEV, Sorento PHEV... all need to be factory ordered and dealerships are taking full advantage of the limited supply and trying to charge premiums or playing games with rates and rebates.... more so than normal. Vehicles I'm told are strict demo's (not being sold) have been sold days later. Was about to put a factory order in on a Sorento yesterday and the dealer started playing games and moving numbers around so I walked away.
I test drove a 2020 Hyundai Ioniq EV (not the Ioniq 5 sadly) last night, which is brand new, and there's a few of them around, not sure why...its nice, lots of tech, although a bit underpowered at speed and has a lower range than newer EV's. I was hoping to move away from a FWD car but it seems if I want to be in a new ride in the next few months it might be my best option. Anyone drive one, or have any experience with the Ioniq?

My vehicle is the Ioniq, but just the Hybrid version, but wish I gone with the PHEV version a year ago when I got mine.
The EV version definitely has less range than other options available now, but if you get for a lesser price, and the range works for you, then it’s fine.
Get them to throw in a cargo cover or else everything in your trunk is visible from the outside. I had to get one after the fact.
