I like this car

I like my Sonata it looks very nice and I like driving it. It’s comfortable and is not hard to drive. I get a lot of compliments on the styling and the paint color. I have taken many short trips nothing long and the car handled very well. I like this car

Hyundai

Except for issues with the outside trim and the wearing and cracking of my passenger seat I love the car. The gas mileage is great, which is a huge selling factor for me. I met a few of the engineers from Korea and their dedication to making the best vehicle was evident.

Love My Red Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

Waited almost 2 years to get the car I wanted. It is a red Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with all the bells and whistles. My favorite item is the heads up display, but also like the careras, alert features, Quality, space. Gas mileage averages about 49 mpg but has gone up as high as 59 mpg and sometimes on 100 degrees with full air running it only gets abut 39 mpg. I'm sure the safety features have jprevented more than one accident, including showing other vehicles where I am.

2021 Sonata hybrid heater problem

I bought a 2021 Sonata hybrid new and loved the car until a problem occurred with the heater. No heat in January. Part went on back order and I'm still waiting. Very disappointed with Hyundai. I see new Tucson's and Sonata's coming into the dealer so part availability is not the problem. They provided a rental car which has cost Hyundai over $5000.00 to date. When does customer service and economic sense kick in with Hyundai.

Was a nice enough car...while it ran

Had the heater fail in winter with less than 25k miles. Problem ended up being the EGR cooler. Dealer has had the car for 3 months with no ETA on the replacement part. I question this car's reliability on making any long distance traveling.

What A Car!

I recently brought my Sonata Hybrid to my favored body shop to replace a cracked headlight. The office manager, who, by the nature of the business she is in, gets to sample many cars of any price and quality, drove my vehicle to pick up the replacement parts. When I came in to pick up the repaired car, she said, “You know, when you brought the car by, I looked at it and said to myself, gee, another mediocre sedan. But then I drove it, and I gotta tell you, that’s a heck of a car! Great response, very safe and secure feeling when you drive it!” Need I say more?

Love the car overall ,Hate the shifter control and no "normal" drive mode

My 21 Sonata Hybrid Limited overall is a great car. It looks good inside and out, is reasonably quiet on the road and comfort is quite good as I'm 5'2" and 225. since this is my second Hybrid I've learned how to get over 50mpg city in spring and fall (no A/C) and still keep up or even lead traffic. A few demerits go to it for push button shifter, no "normal" drive transmission program, and big demerits for de-contenting limited package compared to my 2016 Sonata Hybrid limited. It had fog lights and heated rear seats.

Bad reliability

I bought the sonata hybrid for the dealer services, extended warranties, and for the reliability/piece of mind. My concern was what would happen after 50,000+ miles, and I found out all the dealer services are terrible, warranties do not cover real problems, and that no one really cares. The dealership happily tells us they have no idea when it will be done, over a leaking coolant hose, now it’s the exhaust heat exchanger replacement. Bad business all around, 41 days and counting.

No problems

No problems with the car at all, very satisfied. Great on gas mileage with the rising cost of fuel. Plenty of leg room in front and back, comfortable seating. Safety features are a great asset to have.

Intermittent check-engine light unresolved.

Great car, except for intermittent check-engine light and auto reset. Electric motor control is not functioning properly. Check engine warning recommended to take the vehicle to. Hyundai service dept for evaluation. I did that, but they would not check the car without an appointment. So, I did schedule an appointment, and by then the check-engine light had auto reset and car was operating properly. Frustrating experience.

Very Satisfied

Great fuel efficiency, great feature set, great appearance. I’ve taken a number of long-ish (500 +/- miles) on a single tank. No need for fuel or stretch stops. Very comfortable car to drive. People, including strangers, have commented on the styling and appearance.

Hybrids are the best of both worlds

During the rise in gas prices it has saved me a lot of money and it gets great mileage. It is reassuring to have a gas engine as well as electric. The interior is really nice but I miss being able to open the gas cap from inside.

Love This Vehicle! Recommend to anyone in the market for a new car!

Purchased our first hybrid when trading in our 2013 Sonata and we love it. The ride is great, fit and finish is perfect, very comfortable and easy to drive with many great safety features. The gas mileage is amazing. On the highway I have achieved 53 MPG as they state and in the city I am getting at least 46 MPG.

Performance, comfort, and style

Great performance, style and comfort. Headlights are are a standout. The N Line brings enjoyable power. Comfort and drivability in a nice powerful package. Blue link is overbearing and can not be put in background. Will be a feature not going to purchase yet controls most of audio and navigation features.

Awesome car

The sonata handles well. Its beautiful and comfortable to drive. I still needed to have a cell phone holder up in eye range because spotify on my Android phone doesn't sync well with the cars entertainment system. That is my only complaint.

USB plugs only on when Ignition on

I am an engineer with a lot of experience with cars. I have 3 Hyundaii's. Very good car. Needs improvement in seat comfort(needs a little more padding). Also, Ford and GM vehicles keep accessory plugs on all the time, while Asian cars requires ignition key in the on position.
