If the IONIQ skirts performed anything like on the Audi A3, you'd be looking at Cd 0.2232, just with the skirts.

By the way, MOTOR TREND dove the 'refreshed' 2020 IONIQ hybrid, round trip, from Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, at 80-mph, and returned an average 38-mpg.
They'd experienced the EPA's 55-mpg HIGHWAY at 63-mph.

Wasnt that with the larger wheel trim? Wayne at clean mpg tested the Ioniq blue and said the epa crossover was 59 mpg at 68 miles per hour.
I get about 50 mpg at 80 miles per hour. I’d be sad to get 38. If there’s no cross winds, I get about 43 mpg at 90
