It's true that some engines are troublesome (2.0L and 2.4L ones). But not all are. I own a 2012 Sorento with 103,290 miles on it. So far, so good. So, I purchased my wife a 2.5L, 8-speed 2023 Sportage: After two-and-a-half years, it's been a flawless experience. Trusting God on both!
100k miles is low. Any Toyota or Mazda engine will last 300k + easily. And at least Toyota is recalling the (new) v6 turbo engines having issues rather than wait and be sued with lawsuits like hyundai or kia.
I think a lot of people buy the two brands because they have make a significant effort to be on the cutting edge when it comes to tech bells and whistles and styling. None of that is at the top of my criteria when shopping for a new vehicle. They have a history of major engine issues which is a deal breaker for me.
@@plowe6751 - I have owned and driven Hyundais since the late 1990's. They have been good cars, and the reliability has been great with the 2016 Elantra I used to own, and my current 2020 Elantra. Unfortunately the 2016 Elantra only lasted 4 years, it was totaled in a high speed highway accident (100% other drivers fault). The thing that sold me on buying another Elantra, is that I walked away from that high speed accident with only cuts and bruises with that '16 Elantra, and a very sore upper torso after the airbag deployed properly. Hyundai has improved, but they are not at the level of Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Subaru (those are the only other brands I would buy) - and I will easily admit that. Hyundai has slacked with several issues, and should have been more pro-active. My previous 2016 Elantra was a turn-key ignition, I have come to find out that many Hyundais and Kias were susceptible to theft because the cars didn't have engine immobilizers. Who the hell makes a car without this feature? A couple family members have owned 2006-2007 Sonatas, those cars were great. lasted 12-15 years with minimum problems. On the other hand, my sister in law had a 2016 Sonata Hybrid, that car was the biggest POS, with the worst reliability. The car broke down several times, had to be towed to the dealership, and the dealership never could return the car back with diagnostic testing and fixes on time. My sister in law dumped that Sonata for a Subaru about 2 years ago. Night and day. The lesson with Hyundai, if your car is running great, then you got it made. But - if you have any issues or problems with your car, especially major issues, Hyundai and Kia Dealerships are the worst with BS'ing their customers about covering warranty work, or taking extensive periods of time to do the repairs. I have heard this from both Hyundai and Kia owners. I like that Hyundai offers more standard features on their vehicles. I also have the lane assist on my Elantra, great feature. But I have also owned a 2007 Mazda 3, I did have AC issues with that car, but besides that, it was a great car. And it seems that Mazda has really improved over the years. So, I might be making the switch over to Mazda next time.
Surprisingly, I've only ever seen engine complaints on US-built engines. The same engines built here in Asia are known to match Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability especially their diesel engines. Maybe it's more of a US manufacturing thing and not a problem with the wider Hyundai-Kia Group
I agree with you 100%. Any of my Hyundai's made in Korea were never an issue. But the U.S. models had some issues that were fixed by Hyundai without any money out of my pocket.
Hi Gang, I was a salesman at a Kia store in 2012, I bought a new Sorento, It needed a repaint and a new motor from new!

The first guy they interviewed who kept up with every gallon of gasoline claimed an avg of 29.92, so right at about 30 mpg. The window sticker’s rating claims 29 city and 40 hwy with an expected range of 24 to 34 mpg. What’s his complaint? If he’s keeping up with every gallon every day, then I’m sure most of those miles are obtained going back and forth to work, plus anywhere else that would likely classify city driving. Unless he’s taking the interstate everywhere he goes then his mileage looks to be right where it should be. Highway miles are accumulated when driving on highways or freeways, typically involving sustained speeds of 60 mph or higher with minimal stopping. City miles involve frequent stops, varying speeds, and more complex driving conditions within urban areas. Claim denied.
Hyundai and Kia realized in the last decade that people would perceive them as quality brands just by raising their prices, improving their appearances, and throwing in more tech stuff. Samsung and LG used the same tactic in the realm of home appliances.
I had a 2016 Kia Soul that we bought from new. It was the biggest piece of sh!t car I have ever owned. Catastrophic engine failure at 70,000 miles. Luckily I got it replaced with a reman engine under warranty. I dumped that POS within 2 weeks of getting it back.
Yeah, this seems to be isolated to America. They wanted to approach the ultra low end market, leaning towards the less fortunate ones who wants the cheapest car they could possibly get. I don't hear this is Europe or Scandinavia where they sell pretty well and very few people complain about engines or quality. Sure it's cheap with less insulation but I believe they're better built than the ones for the us market in order to push prices down so the poor can afford them over there.
I think the motor issues in the US are the oil change intervals. In Canada they are 5000 km (3000 miles) I think in the US they are 7500 miles. As for fuel consumption on 300 km trips on slower traffic roads we use 6.9 lp 100 km (34 mpg) in our Kia Telluride. This I find amazing!!!!
I looked at buying a Hyundai back in 2006 because I though it would be cheap but it turned out to be the same price as a Honda. Obviously I bought the Honda instead. I don't understand why people are buying these.
2012 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid purchased new ,now approaching 100K miles,perfect. @ 65 mpg can get 42 mpg hwy . Tires only major purchase. Excellent so-far. Maintainence on schedule.
I Purchased a 2014 Optima SX (2.4) last December 30, 2023 with 95k miles, I haven't had to add any oil in between oil changes so far. No rattles, squeaks or leaks, my only complaint is the weak A/C, doesn't blow cold enough in the hotter months. BTW, it presently has almost 107k miles, mostly freeway, 192 HP it' isn't slow by any means, & it's quite attractive, looks more expensive than it is.
I remember driving past a Kia dealer sometime in the early 2010s that had a Rio with a sign saying "50 MPG" in 3-foot tall letters. I contacted Kia via their website and got an email back sometime later saying something along the lines of "dealers are free to advertise as they see fit". I was shocked that they were ok with it. It was only a few weeks later their MPG scandal exploded in the media.
I would say Kias quality are inconsistent as the name suggests: KIA = Korean Inconsistent Automobiles. It's either they'll last decades or they'll blow up right after warranty depending on luck. I know a Uber driver has 500000 miles on his Kia but at the same time it's not uncommon for Kia engines, transmissions, electronics to fail within just months.
I had a 2008 Kia Sedona V6, bought at 20k miles and sold at 170k miles, just required regular maintenance, no issues at all other than the power sliding doors.
When we replaced my wife's 2005 Sonata V6 in 2022 (we purchased it new in June of 2005), I'm glad we didn't replace it with another Hyandai or Kia. I remember when those cars were at height of being stolen because of the ease of doing so. I remember the fires that would occur while piloting the SUV's within days of their purchase. I think that overall, their vehicles were better built when we purchased the 2005 Hyandai but then again, weren't all vehicles better built before the pandemic & chip shortage? We managed to squeak out over 266,000 miles in the 17 years we owned it, and really, during the last 2 years of ownership, it wasn't driven because it was broke down in my backyard. In 2022, it was replaced by a 2022 Acura. During the summer of 2024, I had the Hyandai towed out of backyard. I got $400 for it and with nearly new Michelin Tires on it.
I bought a new 2024 Sonata and I can't complain about the fuel mileage at all. Driving ultra conservatively and rationally I can achieve 37mpg in the city at with a target speed of 48mph and up to 52mpg on the highway with target speed of 50mph hypermiling. Driving like that is no fun and most people don't have time for that. I have found that the car will return at least the sticker numbers unless you drive really fast, like an idiot or both. How long it will last I have no clue. My nephew has put 150k miles on his 2013 Accent with just oil changes besides fixing a couple of fender benders. If I got a CVT model I would change the CVT fluid 20k - 30k miles religiously no matter what Hyundai says
I’ve been rooting for Hyundai/Kia to improve in quality and step up to the level of Honda and Toyota but they always seem to snatch defeat out of the hands of victory. The recent(ongoing?) vehicle theft issue is another black mark on the brand. I wouldn’t buy one until they prove they can make a decent car for 10 years.
Not to mention that little issue around 2010 to 2017 with most all Kia/Hyundai engines catching fire where the fuel line just snapped and sprayed gas onto the hot engine, that was fun.
Is there a part II? I ask because there is no mention of the 2.0l 4-cylinder engines that are prone to catch on fire. The high failure rate of their dual clutch automatic transmission, and cars so easily stolen some insurance companies refuse to cover them.
@@brotherloops Oh no it exists, Chicago even sued Kia and Hyundai over this issue back in August 2023, which was settled with $145 million from Hyundai/Kia about 7 months later.
When I bought my 2019 Toyota a year and a half ago the sales lady told me her friend works next door at the KIA dealership and every other phone call they get is about problems with their car. Go figure.
Buying a hyudai was the worse thing i ever did to my self, was an instant regret and remain with me for 10 years full of issues from the beginning tell i sold it last month the car it self and the serive was really bad no mere hyundai for ne finally
All these problems are for the the USA manufactured Kia and Hyundai cars. Vehicles fully manufactured in Korea don't appear to have many or even any of the same problems, at least in Australia there are no issues over here. Theft has never been a problem either because our Federal Government mandated immobiliser/alarm systems in all vehicles sold in Australia for at least for the last 30 years.
Firstly they were saying about ranges in terms of fuel consumption. Secondly if your weight is around 120kg which means two passengers do not expect topof the range fuel consumption.
Well, if you have Hyundai Kona EV up to 2024 (or Kia e-Niro) the reduction gear also has problems and if you are lucky it fails in warranty period. They often replace complete sets of motors and reduction gears. The problems are showing up randomly it seems.
No shit. I bought a 24 Santa Fe hybrid which Hyundai claims to do 34mpg on highway. I drive slowly on 70mph highway and get about 27mpg. Am I driving incorrectly, or did Hyundai lie again after $650M lesson?
Lucky for you who lives in USA. Here, in my country, car manufacturers and others manufacturers can over claimed features of their products without any consequences. For example, one of EV manufacture claimed their car can run 300 Km on a single charge. In reality, their car only runs for 230 km. Any penalty for them? Not at all, business as usual.
It is the EPAs job to determine mpg, so if it is wrong, as it usually is, then that is the EPA's fault. My car gets way better mpg than it was rated, do I owe money? The problem is Kia makes low quality vehicles, not their mpg.
I have never liked either brand when looking them over (retired mechanic) I found them to be noisy oil burning & generally poor build quality.Yes they are cheap to buy but you get what you pay for. I personally would never own one.I would buy a used Japanese vehicle purely because of their QA.
I owned an early Hyundai and it was just a piece of crap that kept on stranding me. I know they've gotten better but I would never consider a Hyundai or Kia again. Keep hearing about problems with their engines, not to mention the nearest dealers are well over 100 miles away.
Whoever made this video got all the wrong images and video clips. The guy in the black suit is a Korean celebrity not Kim Gwang Ho (Hyundai's whistleblower). The cars shown in this video do not match up with the years of recall and engine failure. In my opinion, Hyundai went downhill in 2011 when they introduced the GDI engine. They forgot what quality was and decided to make more in profit by heavy advertising, fleet sales, and promising low credit buyers. Just recently they've been showing progress of slight improvement since 2023 by producing Smartstream engines (GDI and MPI), push to start ignition on all models, corporate reorg, etc. The most reliable Hyundai/Kia are the ones built in Korea. Not Mexico, not Alabama, not Georgia.
the lies isnt about the mileage or engine reliability, the biggest issue i have with hyundai and kia is how they treat the 3rd/developing world like mine. i bought a 2nd hand hyundai, and the engine, the safety and much more was never changed for more than 8 years while for 5 years the global model already had an improved engine and safety. I've been suffering with no ABS, would've helped me avoid accidents. hyundai has cost me way more with their terrible treatment of the 3rd world. Now they've done badly here because people see their car as cheap for the price compared to the local brands and japanese. Even the japanese brands sell their cars with ABS as standard for many years. However our government is terrible for not mandating it either for so many years but only the lowest and cheapest car of a local brand only just recently sold their lowest model with ABS except the special gov version for poverty that costs more than it was new for some reason. This video isnt very helpful because american brands are much much worse in mileage claims and reliability even the price. They should talk about how the american and korean car brands treat us.
Kia does not have enough experience in planed obsolescence. These young engineers need so good old American know how of using the rule of thumb to get pland obsolescence just right. Right after the warranty expires!
I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson - 2lt Diesel Turbo.... Such a great car, heaps of torque, comfortable and super easy to drive. I would hesitate to take advice about cars from americans; there is a reason your cars are not popular outside of your country.
American vehicles are designed engineered and manufactured to suit American driving conditions and the preferences of American buyers. A Ford F-150 or a Cadillac Escalade make sense in Los Angeles or Houston but not London or Tokyo. American manufacturers had until recently owned foreign subsidiaries such as Opel Vauxhall and Holden and the products of those subsidiaries' were designed engineered and manufactured to suit the market conditions and buyer preferences of the area that they were sold. If European and Asian manufacturers produce vehicles that are so superior why are so many of them not sold in the profitable US market? Many such as Renault Peugeot SEAT Citroën Suzuki Daihatsu and Isuzu have never been sold in the United States or have left the market because they developed a reputation for poor quality.
Eric O of South Main auto or Self made auto has the correct pronunciation as far as I'm concerned and that is the one that I follow. I have a 2009 Santa Fe with the big 3.3. Take a listen please
I own the Dopest Kia EVER. 13 Optima SX. Best car I’ve ever owned, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. My favorite car of all time. I will never buy anything else. Hyundai or Kia. I wouldn’t been consider another brand. They are the best cars.

I have never liked either brand when looking them over (retired mechanic) I found them to be noisy oil burning & generally poor build quality.Yes they are cheap to buy but you get what you pay for. I personally would never own one.I would buy a used Japanese vehicle purely because of their QA.
I owned an early Hyundai and it was just a piece of crap that kept on stranding me. I know they've gotten better but I would never consider a Hyundai or Kia again. Keep hearing about problems with their engines, not to mention the nearest dealers are well over 100 miles away.
I put Kia and Hyundai with Nissan with the cars ill never buy. Too much risk...
Whoever made this video got all the wrong images and video clips. The guy in the black suit is a Korean celebrity not Kim Gwang Ho (Hyundai's whistleblower). The cars shown in this video do not match up with the years of recall and engine failure.
In my opinion, Hyundai went downhill in 2011 when they introduced the GDI engine. They forgot what quality was and decided to make more in profit by heavy advertising, fleet sales, and promising low credit buyers. Just recently they've been showing progress of slight improvement since 2023 by producing Smartstream engines (GDI and MPI), push to start ignition on all models, corporate reorg, etc.
The most reliable Hyundai/Kia are the ones built in Korea. Not Mexico, not Alabama, not Georgia.
I see alot of videos about KIA & Hyundai of the past
Not so much as the modern ones
I don't know why people keep buying these garbage vehicles
Can I still take my 2010 Kia in for another engine🙄🤔
the lies isnt about the mileage or engine reliability, the biggest issue i have with hyundai and kia is how they treat the 3rd/developing world like mine. i bought a 2nd hand hyundai, and the engine, the safety and much more was never changed for more than 8 years while for 5 years the global model already had an improved engine and safety. I've been suffering with no ABS, would've helped me avoid accidents. hyundai has cost me way more with their terrible treatment of the 3rd world. Now they've done badly here because people see their car as cheap for the price compared to the local brands and japanese. Even the japanese brands sell their cars with ABS as standard for many years. However our government is terrible for not mandating it either for so many years but only the lowest and cheapest car of a local brand only just recently sold their lowest model with ABS except the special gov version for poverty that costs more than it was new for some reason.
This video isnt very helpful because american brands are much much worse in mileage claims and reliability even the price. They should talk about how the american and korean car brands treat us.
High and Dye, as well as Killed In Action are still waging war with their neighbours…truth always first casualty…
Kia and Hyundai engine are trash. I will never buy them.
They've been here a lot earlier than 1992
Kia does not have enough experience in planed obsolescence. These young engineers need so good old American know how of using the rule of thumb to get pland obsolescence just right. Right after the warranty expires!
I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson - 2lt Diesel Turbo.... Such a great car, heaps of torque, comfortable and super easy to drive.
I would hesitate to take advice about cars from americans; there is a reason your cars are not popular outside of your country.
American vehicles are designed engineered and manufactured to suit American driving conditions and the preferences of American buyers.
A Ford F-150 or a Cadillac Escalade make sense in Los Angeles or Houston but not London or Tokyo.
American manufacturers had until recently owned foreign subsidiaries such as Opel Vauxhall and Holden and the products of those subsidiaries' were designed engineered and manufactured to suit the market conditions and buyer preferences of the area that they were sold.
If European and Asian manufacturers produce vehicles that are so superior why are so many of them not sold in the profitable US market?
Many such as Renault Peugeot SEAT Citroën Suzuki Daihatsu and Isuzu have never been sold in the United States or have left the market because they developed a reputation for poor quality.
This is no longer new news
Both unreliable cars
cheap name brands and I can't believe people think they will honor their warranties. lol
why is TOP at the end of the video lmao
Americans: please look carefully at the word "Hyundai". There are three syllables. It is NOT pronounced "hun-day".
Actually, IT IS!!!
Was told by Hyundai long ago its pronunciation is like Sunday!
Eric O of South Main auto or Self made auto has the correct pronunciation as far as I'm concerned and that is the one that I follow. I have a 2009 Santa Fe with the big 3.3. Take a listen please
oh yeah keep buying korean cars
Lock the doors and it won’t be stolen.
The guy writing down his gas mileage shares the same last name as me. Lol idk how to feel about that
Cut the BS and make a reliable car.
if you're dumb enough to buy one...
I own the Dopest Kia EVER.
13 Optima SX.
Best car I’ve ever owned, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. My favorite car of all time.
I will never buy anything else. Hyundai or Kia. I wouldn’t been consider another brand. They are the best cars.
😂 🤡
