    Click here to watch our review on a camouflaged Elantra N: • The 2022 Hyundai Elant...
    For the last 35 years, the Hyundai Sonata has always been a fine choice for consumers looking for safe, comfortable, and value packed family sedan. However, the Sonata has never offered a sporty variant until now. For 2021, the all-new #SonataNLine is a turbocharged, sport-tuned family sedan with 290 HP and an 8-speed DCT. The #HyundaiSonataNLine restarts a segment that we haven't seen since the days of the Nissan Altima SE-R and Mazdaspeed6. Hyundai says this high-performance Sonata #NLine should get to 60 mph in under 6 sedans and with a quick-shifting dual clutch transmission, it should help it out accelerate the Toyota Camry TRD and Honda Accord 2.0T Sport.

    Hey guys! We wanted to clarify that the launch control on this car doesn’t actually take that many tries to engage. We were literally trying it for the first time in the video and were also trying to change the RPM’s where it launches and that’s where it can be a pain if you flip the wrong toggle to do it. Once you have the right RPMs set, it’s a matter of putting it in Sport +, turning off all the nannies, floor the brake and throttle until it says launch mode ready, then letting go of the brake with the throttle to the floor.

With the 8 speed wet dual clutch a tune and trans tune will turn this thing into a monster. 290 hp on 87 octane you can expect 405 hp on 93 octane tune and 430 ft lbs plus. Get some lowering springs and some nice wide tires on the front and back and you're in the 4 second club easily. Hyundai said this car is 6.5 seconds 0-100 kph. Thats way too conservative. Id say its around 5.3 seconds 0-96 kph (0-60) or 5.5 0-100 kph (0-62) stock. With the mods i said and no bolt ons youre in the low 4s.

    Picked up a 2022 N Line last week after watching all these reviews. I am *wicked* pleased. I test drove tons of vehicles between the $35K-65K mark and honestly.. Hyundai is frigging killing it. It's right up there with cars almost double it's price. Of course you miss things like the passenger seat not being electric, etc, but the additional $20K for a similarly specced BMW, Audi, or Merc.. it's hard to justify not going with this Hyundai.
    Hope it holds up the reliability test over the years. Some tunes out for it already as well which are looking promising.
    One note for future buyers: The N Line wheels have big plastic "resonators" inside of them for noise dampening. I got winters installed 3 days after buying and they broke one right off of the wheel. They run through 100+ vehicles a day and hadn't seen any wheel with the resonator on them yet, but apparently Honda & Acura has been doing it for 4 years or so now on some 19 inch+ wheels.

    Great car. I'm shocked how much he talked about the accord 2.0 as if its the least sporty midsizers. Most reviewers had the accord as the most sporty even better than the camry TRD which was built for the track . But I can see this sonata being quicker with better numbers horspower and torque.

    • @edwink1467
      @edwink1467 3 года назад +1

      @@OlJackBurton It wouldn’t cost $40K+. The Limited and N-line are both just under $34K. Given Hyundai’s pricing, a hypothetical N-line with all the Limited features should only be $2-3K more, making it $36-37K. That’s in line with the mainstream mid-size sedan segment. A Camry V6 XSE with premium audio system, 360 camera, parking sensors, heated steering wheel, etc cost $39K+ because these are all options even in the top trim. Keep in mind the Sonata Limited offers even MORE features like the Blind View cameras, digital key, fully digital gauge cluster, “Smart Park,” etc standard. So from a value perspective, a Sonata N-line with all the features found on the Limited would still be cheaper than, if not similar to, the Camry. A $40K Acura TLX SH-AWD is barebone with none of the features found in similarly priced mainstream sedans. To get things like Blind Spot monitoring, 360 camera, parking sensors, etc, you need the Advanced trim, making it almost $50K. The Acura is of course nicer in almost every way, but it costs $10-15K more to get similar features. And the last thing about “designing and engineering this version,” there’s no additional “designing and engineering” required. We are literally talking about a Sonata Limited (that already exists) with the 2.5T engine. Hyundai just removed some cool features from the N-line to keep the price down.

    So I had to totally edit my comment. I went to drive one last month only to get a feel for the package because it was considering a K5 GT, and to cross it off my list. No K5 GT's to be found anywhere. A mile into my test drive I started saying to myself I don't want to like this car. 90 minutes later I drove it home. Five weeks in and I don't regret my decision. Only two things I wish it did have was the memory position for the driver's seat as well as ventilated seats. I could live without the remote parking feature and the blind spot cameras in the cluster.
    And you totally screwed the pooch with the launch control. Sport-plus. Stability control off. To adjust the RPMs for the launch - that is if you want to. You're not required to - use the cruise control switch not the drive mode switch. It's not complicated.
