I had this 2.5T in a Stinger with a torque converter 8 speed and this DCT makes a world of difference! So much better! With incentives and negotiating I got the price to $34,200 and for the performance and refinement its a steal! Awesome detailed review. 🙏
Just got this car a little over a month ago and four people tried to race me already 😅 I’m not much of a racer girl but I do love driving it on the freeway. Still learning about it since I got it on a whim. So thank you for this educational video!
Check your driver side front fender just below the daytime running light. I got mine a week again and apparently a lot of them have the same defect. Fender is not aligned with car and sticking out. Will get worse with time. Solutions I have been hearing is getting a new front bumper.
Great review Kenny! I think Hyundai did a great job with the refresh and I love the way this car looks both inside and out. I'm the same...the N line would be my only choice. My only hesitation is no ventilated seats but I would be tempted to overlook that. Hope that you are doing great!
FYI the bolstering you can adjust. You make it hug you tighter or make it more relaxed. There is a ring like switch that surrounds the lumbar support button and you can adjust the bolster too.
So there obviously arent many 2023s left that are not limited hybrids, so Im considering the 2024. I really like the head light that fadedss it ran up the hood. My concern is if little rocks can damage the hood, can they damage that light? Has anyone heard any negatives about that setup? I was surprised they changed it, but saw the running light bar for the 2024 the other day.
Absolutely!!!! I completely agree with you! I’m coming from a modified 2017 Buick Tegal 2.0 turbo car that produced 312 hp, and it’s just as fast and certainly shifts smoother and more efficiently than my Regal did! Long live Mr. Albert Biermann!!! PS4L!!! Go Steelers!!! It’s Lit!!! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm a Hyundai girl.i had a 13 been a great car,I only wish I could get a newer one.never happen I know,I door dash my sonta is wore out,only wish I could get a newer one.who can I gotta eat so I could never afford one EVER. ACTUALLY IT'S PRETTY DEPRESSING WATCHING THESE KNOWING I'LL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING BUT MY 2013 190,000 MI ON IT BEEN A GREAT CAR DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT HOW MANY MORE MILES IS IT GOING TO KEEP ME DOORDASHING YOU GUYS WANT SO MUCH FOR THESE CARS THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO BUY THEM GOD BLESS YOU THOUGH I MEAN THAT WITH ALL MY HEART
If this thing had just a regular 8 speed auto it would be a 100000 percent yes buy but I don’t trust the dct I test drove it and it didn’t give me the most trust worthy feeling
I own one, and don’t let the dct scare you, i have never had any issues, felt any clunks or anything like that, when you’re in it, it shifts smoothly and quickly, and when you’re easy on the gas just going around town you barely even notice it shifting.
I would have subscribed, but you never mentioned if RUGULAR UNLEAD CAN BE USED OR HIGH TEST!!! A huge difference in expenses. A perfect time was when you were giving the gas milage numbers.
Fix the audio. The stereo audio is messed up. Also. Your voice. . . Not saying you have a nagging voice, but perhaps adjust the audio so Your voice is not so straining and reminding us all of our exes. Other than that, I really enjoyed your detailed reviews and descriptions. Audio and voice.
What’s with the N-line only offering the gray-on-gray-on-gray interior? (And no, the tiny red stitching doesn’t count.) Offer a normal brown leather interior option!
Just bought this yesterday and I’m more then satisfied. But the daytime running lights do not run across the entire front. Only when all lights are on 🫡
@@TomDotCom2 no heads up display no rear air vents no 360 cameras no blinker camera no ventilated seats you can’t back up the car with the key fob and I believe theirs still more that I’m missing here. All this is missing in the USA spec.
@@TomDotCom2 What danielibarra said but also: no rear window auto sun shade, no rear door manual side shades, no Space saver spare. All these features are available on the Australian N Line model which is the only model available. Fob back up is not available on the Aust model. Sometimes choice dilutes the best of all worlds.
They basically lobotomized the car for the american market and i have no idea why, because all of these features are available on the limited trim. no reason to strip them from the american market n line
@@codycomerford3647 fairpoint about the Lexus. Will admit that even with the 2019 refresh in design , the car is still boring to drive ha…But lets also be honest, with strict speed limits across the US, having a faster car than the ES350 seems like a specious argument. ES 350 does 0-60 in a little over 6 seconds. That’s all the speed most people need dont you think? I will say I am impressed with what Hyundai is doing lately. Cheers
Weak, manual passenger seat and no seat presets for driver. come on Hyundai. you keep making small mistakes. no vents in the back seats and cup holders on some sonatas. And no good colors like the green Elantra n.
36000 for a Hyundai? Double damn with terrible reliability history. Warranty is a joke-not even a donut or run flat! So what do you do with a flat on a trip to the Catskills? My wife bought a Hyundai and the dealership is absolutely atrocious in customer service. Fortunately she doesn’t have to drive much because I can just imagine trying to get them to honor their warranty. I have had two friends with major engine issues with their Hyundai and they had to have their legislators get involved to have them honor their warranty.
I've never had a problem this is my second one it's got a 185,000 mi on it still going strong but how many more miles am I going to get out of it paid 7 Grand cash for it back in 2015 it's the 13th all cars or lemons trust me I've had a few of each that I hear you brother

The DCT ain’t bad. You just have to realize that you can’t drive this like a regular CVT automatic. Half the people are ruining their transmission without even knowing it.
I love the Hundai, a serious competitor, the N has clean mature lines, awesome, thanks for posting.
Agreed!
@@703Speed if this thing offered Kia's version of the GT-1 package, it would be a perfect car, IMO.

Ventilated seats would definitely be a nice added bonus

I like it..., & another " great " review. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes of course Kenny & I will buy this beauty.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥🔥
Fantastic job Kenny.
🙏🏼
Attaboy Kenny. Great review buddy.
Thanks Troy
Powerfull engine, great interior. Very good for fast daily car. Great review as always. Greetings
great video! love the sonata😍
Love everything about this beauty!! Wow
Nice car. Looked like fun.
It was

Lovin it. I will probably trade in my 2017 Hyundai Sonata for one of these beauties.
I was comfortable at 6 feet 220 pounds ,also does the 2025 Sonata Nline have the stop start tech ?
Dump truck.
My 17 yr old son has fallen in love with older cars and trucks. It's cool to watch him growing into a young man.
🙏🏼There's just something about older cars
my question is which one more fun to drive the GLI or the sonata n line ?
It be great if they offered a different color inteior(caramel, red, miltary green, etc)
They do
@@KonaAmbience for the N line?
Kenny does the 2.5L Turbo rip like Subaru’s 2.4L Turbo 😂😂😂

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Can you feel the FWD like in older cars? Nice review. Peace bro
I’ve seen videos to where this car has literal 0 wheel hop. It’s stable upon acceleration
Great video, You can't turn on smart cruise-control if your foot is riding the brake.
If this thing had just a regular 8 speed auto it would be a 100000 percent yes buy but I don’t trust the dct I test drove it and it didn’t give me the most trust worthy feeling

Really good car !
Looks like Hyundai might have come up with the cure for the common SUV.
I would have subscribed, but you never mentioned if RUGULAR UNLEAD CAN BE USED OR HIGH TEST!!! A huge difference in expenses. A perfect time was when you were giving the gas milage numbers.
I go over that at 4:41 !
Those are the same wheels that came on my 2020 Elantra sport
In Canada this car is like 50 thousand dollars
Yea, but it comes with memory seats, rear vents, and a few other features.
You should be able to configurate that digital dash to at least some digital gauges, looking at numbers for rpm and speed is a deal breaker
you can, you can set the garages to actually be 100% “analog” (looks analog but still on a digital screen lol”
No rear seat vents on a $36,000 car?
Weird.Canada includes rear vents and heated steering wheel
No spare tire? Wow, why ?
Reduces weight so the fuel economy rating is higher.
Maybe every company could give one free car away even a month would help out the American people but no that ain't never going to happen is it
I've got the same alu pedals in my Kia Ceed GT 2016. They don't change it.
So
Fix the audio. The stereo audio is messed up. Also. Your voice. . . Not saying you have a nagging voice, but perhaps adjust the audio so Your voice is not so straining and reminding us all of our exes. Other than that, I really enjoyed your detailed reviews and descriptions. Audio and voice.
very nice car
This is going to be the last fun car we can get since everything else is a hybrid or more expensive.
Very nice cheap(for crazy modern standards) vehicle. I'd rock it. Dump truck.
What’s with the N-line only offering the gray-on-gray-on-gray interior? (And no, the tiny red stitching doesn’t count.) Offer a normal brown leather interior option!
Dump truck! Damn I want this vehicle.
I think the front of it looks ugly. The rear of it looks nice. I like the model before this one the 2023.
Agree. Its a butter face
Nice car, I just dont like the rims and steering wheel designs
NGL key fob looks cheap
I’ll agree with you there
Just bought this yesterday and I’m more then satisfied. But the daytime running lights do not run across the entire front. Only when all lights are on 🫡
Huge issues with this version of the car. It’s missing a lot of features that other versions of the car has
Such as......?

Or you can buy a 2 year year old Lexus es 350 ( certfieď) with 30000 or so miles for 36000....i will take the Lexus..
Not everyone wants an outdated Lexus… also this is much faster than an es350

Three issues: DCT, no AWD and no spare tire.
that's the fun of it. came from a cvt subie w/ spare tire. i prefer this. dct>cvt for fun. no awd=better mpgs, no spare tire=less weight
AWD would be nice

Inside it's ok, but outside it's rather ugly.
You think?
It is your opinion. It is beautiful
