I've owned 2 Sonatas and they were very dependable. The fuel economy was outstanding. One important aspect of owning a Hyundai Sonata, was the comfort. I put a lot of miles on my cars, roughly a 100,000 a year. The ride comfort was a welcomed benefit, and much appreciated.
It's interesting. We had a 16' Sonota hybrid. I remember them being pretty darn good, but it has been a long time so I couldn't say for sure. But consumer reports isn't crazy about the ride, so I'm glad to get confirmation by your endorsement!
@dasani383 it's been awhile since I road in that car, but I remember it being comfortable enough, if not exactly cloud like. You could probably tell me more now at this point than I could tell you!
I have owned 2 sonatas my 2006 sonata lasted me 16 years before I gave her away. My 2020 sonata has been good but I’m thinking of upgrading to the 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited
I think the new Accords look timeless, but the current Camrys and Altimas look super dated. This Sonata looks like it’s from 2040 though - super futuristic! I like that Hyundai is taking big chances with their designs.
Lots of uneductaed brand snobs in these comments. 🤡 maybe if yall actually look more into these newer gen hyundais theyre not all that bad.. maybe just maybe.... the owners hardly take care of their cars to begin with....🤔🤯
@@ThaYoungLife I don't trust much people's opinions who don't diy their oil changes when they have the means to diy themselves they usually just lazy I swear.

Albeit hyundai does have an issue not honoring some warranties I'll give people THAT
@@chillout2109 maybe people shouldn't intentionally be buying those crap older models knowing they're bad just to file a suit ... js. Just buy a Toyota or Honda and call it a day. If you gon buy a Hyundai, better buy a new one.
The issue is they are a similar price. So why save 4,000 dollars getting a Sonata when you can save 20,000 dollars buying a Camry and keeping it twice as long.
One reason why not to buy it it’s a fucking Hyundai Kia. Company does not stand by their warranty’s at all. Brought my car in to the dealership for the oil change, while under warranty. They didn’t put oil back into the car, which resulted in a blown engine, and they refuse to take responsibility and refuse to put a new engine in under warranty, even though it was their fault.
Sounds like you just had a crap dealer.... why not diy your oil change btw.... I hate doing dealer oil changes it being "free" does not give me peace of mind them throwing whatever junk they want in my car just cuz. You can even buy your own oil and they'll put it in.. why they apparently didn't put oil in your car sounds ngl fake and just a weird story made up to discourage Hyundai buyers. I'm ngl. Because that's stupid to not put oil back in an engine.......
@@anthonyscott5484 nope I called corporate and Two dealership one st Augustine Florida where they forgot to put in the oil and the second was I. Illinois where the car was bought. My kid was having head surgery and I need to take the car on along trip to see the doctor, 20 miles in the engine blow. That’s just me I have many examples of Kai Hyundai cars failing and they did honor thier warranties. Sorry cheap ass cars. But Toyota all the way.
@@Thorcat001 well that's fucked then. Fortunately in my case haven't had an engine replacement for mine and I've had 3 Hyundais so far 3 of them over 100k miles basic maintenance and not beating it go long way for me, rn I have an Elantra N by far the best one I've driven yet. But in your case fair enough.
Incorrect. I've had 4 Korean cars. All bought brand new. All went to over 100.000 miles with either 0 repairs or issues, or a couple minor repairs. And who wants to keep a car for 200.000 miles???
What about the Canadian owners who were told they would have to pay $60,000 for new batteries, and their cars were considered totaled by Hyundai/Kia Canada.
This is nice and all but Hyundai Kia vehicles are still garbage. Their warranties are useless and the dependable Camry will be still on the road for many long years to come
Hyundai gives you nice looking paint and questionable design which is inexpensive with horrible engines and transmissions. Good engine and transmission designs are more expensive.
I've had 3 Hyundai's the past 5 years. Had a Sonata N Line. Car was made great and was very fast. Sat in a new Toyota Camry not made like they were years ago. Your comment is ridiculous! Enjoy your boring Camry.
Toyota build quality only may exists in japan.....I bought my first Camry 7 years ago. Found discrepancies like the waether seal installed crooked and pinched, interior trims uneven. But so far reaialable.
To compensate reliability they throw latest tech nothing else suggestion is talk about reliability as well I see your santafe broke down twice though it’s good looking and hitech ultimately reliability wins
You can compare this car see the new Camry only hybrid version, In 5 years this sonata will cost much less and they will have already changed the turbo minimum once
Is a POWER trunk really necessary for a sedan? It's tall enough for a short dude to reach it. And what if it breaks? Kia/Hyundai creating more problems in their new cars.
I dont think hyundai/kia is good at trying to include luxury features from high end cars. Kia Carnival sx presige seems a bit too suspicious for having a ton of luxury features for 50k. Same starting price as a glc.
Let me just politely say, it wouldn’t be a problem if, in this case, we weren’t provoked by such a ridiculous claim. Stats don’t lie when it comes to reliability of a Toyota. But claims that other brands are superior in the reliability category can.
Never buy a Hyundai or Kia, the company DOES not stand by their warranty, and will simply reject your should any big damage come your way, I have a Hyundai sonata and they have class action lawsuit against that engine and the company has been nothing but trouble, the car has been sitting on my drive way from months thank good ness I have another dependable car. The Hyundai dealerships suck even more.
Nice car, but it is a Hyundai, so it can't match Toyota's reliability. Also, please stop trying to give points to Hyundai for their alleged 10 years or 100,000 miles warranty. Everybody knows that warranty is limited to power train. And, obviously a Toyota Camry does not need that warranty cause, in general, Toyota's cars power trains last much longer than a mere 10 years without giving any problem whatsoever.
Sorry but Toyota is boring it reminds me when audiovox came whit a phone; but the Sonata it’s other experience I have the 2021 and it’s super comfortable and smooth and in highway brings a really good MPG so this one looks amazing
The camry is outdated and everyone from 18-70 years drive that car which i always found strang its like how cam you satisfy all ages. U cant rhats why there fucking outdated and scared to scare away there older customers. These sonatas are for younger crowd that want to stand out.
Well yeah you know what yes I would buy it over the all new Toyota Camry diony Toyota Camry just look the same I mean I love the new LEDs and stuff but like it's just the design
No. Get educated. That only happens on key ignition models. Not keyless. 🤡. Criminals want simple and easy which is why they take the key ignition cars.....

It’s easily the best looking midsized sedan on the market now. Honda, Toyota and Nissan should take notice.

@@DaveDDDyou’re crazy if you think the new altimas look dated. They’re one of the best looking sedans in the market right now.

Really really good looking ever car.
Too bad because new Camry looks good
Too. But this Hyundai Sonata really is the best looking.
Toyota makes the most plain and generic looking cars. Toyotas might be reliable but they just look boring.
Not the new Prius
Yeah I rather have a "plain generic boring looking car" reliable Toyota over a showoff car
I still own a 1998 Avalon and same year for Corolla. The third is 2004 Rav 4. They are still running good. Toyota are indeed reliable
*older toyotas are reliable
Why are you bragging about being broke?
@@michaelhill61309Are newer Toyotas not still the best in reliability?
@ksignedoff what are you talking about??, who mentioned money?? Stay on topic kiddo
Yes like Sony Walkman
They've come a LONG way since we got our 2017!
I am full Korean. But I would always choose Toyota over Hyundai/Kia 😂
Why?
@@cicada3312 exterior and interior may be nice & techy, but built quality..? 🤔
Camry better and lire reliable
Your loss, buddy lol
@@derekplatt9205 why is that? lol
Does it come hybrid?
Just be careful doesn’t have standard cruise control only adaptive . The car may slam on the breaks at in appropriate times and can be dangerous
Idk but it gives me bmw i7 vibes in the front
It should cuz BMW designers have been part of Hyundai kia team for a while now
good looking and tech but looks do'nt make you go.
What’s the difference between a turn signal and an integrated turn signal?

What color is that?
The recalls will kill you.....
Got one , 2.5L engine w turbo and it should really have a v6. Sports mode barely pulls and the v4 engine takes a moment to gain accelleration
I have it and I love it ..drives great and great on gas and has a lot of power❤
It's like a redesign.
$40,000 Hyundai Sonata... jesus
Not U.S. price highest trim N-Line will probably be 35k
Nline is 35-36K.
FYI a 2024 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid costs 40K…
The Sonata Hybrid limited is 38.5K or so
Let’s not compare overall reliability…
And 6th reason breaks very easily😂😂
Great #short!
Cannot car last 100 200 Thousand miles
Toyota can. How reliable is it?
Incorrect. I've had 4 Korean cars. All bought brand new. All went to over 100.000 miles with either 0 repairs or issues, or a couple minor repairs. And who wants to keep a car for 200.000 miles???
If it’s still using a DCT don’t get it!
I’ll buy this type if it comes early 2024. If not, I’m getting my Tesla model 3.
I'm considering this or the MYLR lol. What did you end up getting?
11:18 thats actually concerning that they don't have a sensor there
I am highly considering the sonata N line or the kia k5 gt. Over an accord or camry. Simply for the "sportier feel"
This is so premium❤❤❤!!! Keep it up Hyundai, KIA, Genesis❤️❤️❤️!!!
Much cooler than camry imo
What about the Canadian owners who were told they would have to pay $60,000 for new batteries, and their cars were considered totaled by Hyundai/Kia Canada.
Lord 😢pls, i need this car.
I bought the Sonata Sel and it is a really great car.❤❤❤
No way!
Car looks good, but also looks overdone
Hyundai makes great looking cars. It's time they update their H badge. It doesn't look like it belongs
Problematic engines, try getting one replaced under warranty. No thanks.
Half the resale value and many issues with Hyundai with hybrid ..il stick to toyota
Please buy this so next spring the Camry will be available
This is nice and all but Hyundai Kia vehicles are still garbage. Their warranties are useless and the dependable Camry will be still on the road for many long years to come
Nobody care , enjoy your Toyota for 100 year 😂😂😂

It’s a gorgeous car, but the comments are saying no lol
Forget about that warranty, you'd never be able to use it as there're a thousand reasons that Kia/Hyundai will void that warranty.
Wait until the paint peels,and the sunroof explodes.
Lot of Genesis design cues and tech
To compensate reliability they throw latest tech nothing else suggestion is talk about reliability as well I see your santafe broke down twice though it’s good looking and hitech ultimately reliability wins

Toyota is Japanese company however selling market in US, Canada, S. America build a Camry in USA or Mexico Factory. Not a Japanese Qulity ever.
Even my korean parents would never buy a Hyundai or Kia product 😂😂 sorry 🤷♂️
Damn how come ?
There horrible cars!!!
Only great looks after few months taillights are burned in a year sunroof will explode and shatter then paint will start to chipping away
Promise???

Yes!
Bought Camry❤
Would be funny if they buy this, and a few months down the line, Hyundai will re-buy it due to some issues.

Looks much better than the previous model for sure!

Won't be reliable as Camry
Wheels are Hideous
Yes, I got one last week, great value for the money. Some nice upgrades and very intuitive infotainment system.

Now your really reaching.....
eh
Better than Camry🤦🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 a hyundai🤦🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It better, the Crown starts at 41000 and with options averages close to 50.000!
