I test drove this car and omg!!! I was not expecting the performance it had and I’ve been in a lot of fast sport cars. It’s a lot of car for your money. Great job Hyundai.
The cabin plastics turned me off though. It's a shame as from the outside they did a good job but inside they need to use better material for the plastics.
@@DEVILTAZ35 yeah I feel you but again this is an affordable family sedan and yes they could be better. In my opinion I could live with that because of the performance that just me personally
This absolutely is the flat out best road test I have ever seen !! The cornering on entry and exits is a must include on every test regardless of the cars purpose. Again, great job.
Lol first, love your profile pic. Second, thanks for putting into words my recent behavior. Only difference: “this thing” for me is the Kia K5 GT. Sadly (or maybe for the better), I’ll have to wait three years until my GT line lease is up lol
@@michaelarostegui7018 the K5 GT is nice too! Basically the same car with different packaging. I always seem to prefer cars that have a “controversial” appearance for some reason, so the Sonata is my go-to simply because it’s so unique and it makes a statement. If the Sonata wasn’t an option I’d definitely consider a K5 GT, under the hood it’s almost the exact same thing.
@@natalie9526 haha I respect it. I have a similar rationale. I found the K5 to be reflective of my personality (well what I believe is my personality anyway 😂) and as you said, unique 🙂
@@michaelarostegui7018 saw the k5 behind me today and I was mesmerized couldn’t keep my eyes of my rear view mirror it was very shiny black with day lights. Made it look so mean!
Sonata N-Line looks fantastic in White. Seen a couple different colors while taking the wife's Palisade in for an oil change, and the White one definitely shows off the grille, mirrors, side skirts and roof better than the other color options we seen
Been looking at all the major options in the $30,000 range, and this has one me over. Getting one as soon as I am able. Looks absolutely badass in all black. I had a 2003 sonata that made it to 250,000 miles. I can't imagine how long these brand new ones would last but I wouldn't have to worry about a car for 15 years!
I am leasing this car now. Wow wow wow. I am in love with this car. It has everything you need plus more. The drive is incredible, that wet dual clutch transmission is sooo smooth. Put this thing into sport + mode and it takes off like a rocket. I cannot recommend this car enough. The transmission is better than the Audi dsg, I sold my A3 and leased this car. No regrets
Interesting to hear that you'd pick this one over Accord Sport as I understand you hold Accords to pretty high regards. I guess Hyundai did a pretty good job with this one.
@Andy Brian Cheap to buy is kind of the point. You're saving money up front that you'll lose on depreciation later. You're also forgetting this is an N-Line, which should hold higher value among car enthusiast. I also think Hyundai's depreciating faster than other car brands could change soon. Something like the Sonata is a way more appealing buy than its past models, and now it looks like a serious contender. Old Hyundai models looked like they were pretty outdated and only offered a value proposition. Regardless, I personally don't care about resale value when its small. 2015 Honda Accords go for 10K-15K. 2015 Sonata's go for around 7K-15K. If you care about depreciation after you just took a 20K hit in 5-6 years on depreciation regardless of model, then maybe you shouldn't buy new.
@Andy Brian I have 150,000 on my 15 Sonata 2.0t from multiple cross state trips. No engine issues and runs great. Has a higher or matching resale value for an Accord and Altima for the same specs. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but as a Hyundai owner it is not true. There’s a reason why Hyundai has the most brand loyalty of any brand. And my car wasn’t exactly cheap, $34,000 is not low for the mainstream midsize class. It also has a much nicer interior than the same year Accord.
FUEL RANGE per tank is a nice addition to the reviews. Lately it seems manufactures are limiting ranges to the mid 300’s. My 2011 (2.5L) Camry had a 19 gallon tank and cruised 650 miles per tank!
@@yazeedm1881subjective, i work at a dealership and get in 10-15 new cars a week the inside of these are extremely nice, especially when you can pick one up for 25k. interior compares to cars that cost 2-5x the price
Okay folks, first of all, excellent review video and love your stuff. Secondly, I bought this car as a daily coming from a c7 corvette for a daily. While the top end can feel underwhelming at times, this car is awesome. You get all the front wheel drive fun, with a basically self-driving car. The highway driving assist is bar-none the best I’ve used. The torque on this car means that getting out of weird traffic patterns on highways or doing pulls alone is a breeze and surprisingly quick. The only thing I don’t like has been the transmission. This car is so torquey and the nature of the FWD means that you can smoke the wheels into 4th from a dig. The transmission can feel clunky as hell at times and doesn’t exude confidence while driving. It’s responsive enough but when you’re first getting in the car after sitting overnight or a couple of hours even, you can put it into gear and start trying to drive for the trans to feel like it’s not connected. Hyundai dropped the ball on this trans and it’s the only thing I wish was different.
I have an N-Line. I was originally going to get the the Limited till I heard about the N-Line and I can say I'm happy. I love the looks of the car and I have the stormy sea color. Last night I left work and a co-worker was in his caddy, and he was flooring it as we were driving so I floored it as well and passed him. When I saw him today, he said the car really takes off. I had to slow down when I realized I was doing 120. As for not having a limited slip, it doesn't bother me. This isn't an N car which it would have if it is was and they have those Genesis models if you want the limited slip. When the warmer weather comes, I think these Pirelli tires are going to stick pretty well to the road.
When I had my limited sonata and drove the n line, I feel like the ride and suspension are better on the n line. For some reason the n line feels like a smoother ride to me. Takes bumps well and the cabin is quiet. No issues with the car. Just your regular oil change and maintenance.
Very informative review. I would love to see a review of the 2021 Kia K5 GT from you as a comparison between the two. I'm sure that your thoughts would be great for interested buyers in this shopping segment.
I heard from Alex on Autos the Sonota has better tires, but I'm sure the cars are very similar. The Sonota wins for me though, the interior looks really clean
better check out this documentary, before you buying it. Drivers fear for safety as years-long recall fails to catch some engine failures ruclips.net/video/2iaMHhWkSNw/видео.html
@@kpopkpop5235 I really want to thank you for alerting me to this very important information. I currently own a 2009 Hyundai Santa fe that I've gotten very good service from. I've had my eye on a Kia 2.5 as a new addition that is second on my list of choices. Not any more, for sure. Hello Toyota. Thanks again.
Maybe an “Accord Si” or something along those lines, but Type-R? No. Type-R should remain a very exclusive badge. To date only two cars have come to the US with that distinction and not even the S2000 got a Type-R variant.
@@drivedb7 the NSX deserved a type r without the hybrid system, more power and more track focused. Honda dropped the ball on that. Edit- how does one of your cheaper vehicles get a high performance version but the halo car for the brand (that is actually a high performance car) doesn't get a high performance trim lol
@@drivedb7 Accord Type Rs actually existed back in the late 90s to early 2000s, and the Euro R subsequently. Would be cool if Honda could spice up the Sport and call it the “SiR” as a nod to those earlier models.
@@Timmymtd So I test drove it and it was a very fun car but I’m a larger person and the seat bolstering is very aggressive. It was uncomfortable even in just the 10-15 mins I test drove. Certainly wouldn’t be able to own it. I actually ended up buying a used 2018 Stinger GT instead. Amazing car!!!
Hey just wanted to say pls bring the old playlist to check the quality of sound systems.. those songs really tells how good the audio system is much appreciated 🙏..
Man you changed my mind from getting sonata Hybrid to sonata N line 😍. I will do test drive of both. Difficult to choose mpg of hybrid vs power of n line(and sound of exhaust)
Wow this is such a nice lot crafted, succinct and consumable video. The POV really makes it all just feel so much sleeker and easier to see everything. Love it. Definitely a sub 👍
I’m thinking of getting one of these! I honestly like the look of it, the body lines are really attractive to me, plus I think it’d make a perfect daily since I live up north and rwd isnt the best in the snow!
I have a wet DCT in a 10 year old hatchback lol. It's not THAT impressive. More like 'it's about time'. DSG's/DCT's do hold up over time. Still shifts like a rifle bolt after 126,000 miles with no reliability issues.
Hyundai and Kia despite the known issues on some models, man they have been putting in that work their lineup look so good man I own a 2020 Tucson base model no complaints all black the black is very nice besides pollen season lol.
Just leased one in the dark blue color (Stormy Seas). Love it!! Hyundai knocked it out of the park... Oh, and it's definitely a sleeper at the stop light... 😉
I've ground my Mazda 3 into the ground -- I absolutely love my car. I was going to go with another 3, but I was helping a friend car shop and saw one of these in the showroom. Didn't test drive it, and now I have to wait for the dealer to get them back in stock. I can't wait to test drive it lol. Interior is sharp, super comfortable.
Wish I had waited to get this over my Accord Touring in 2019. These hadn't come out yet, but frankly the dual clutch, alcantara interior, and big power sell it for me. Still, the 2.0T is still fun!
I just wish the Veloster had an interior as nice as this. It's the one thing holding me back from it. It would be one thing if it was just fine... but it's bad. Hoping the Elantra N solves some of that concern. I'm not expecting Mazda 3 interior but something at least you'd expect for the price. Let the Veloster be the track car and give us a truly comfortable daily.
Nice review. A lot of car for the money considering the performance, luxury, reliability, and dealer network. I will definitely take a look at this car.
I just got my 2021 Limited, Quartz White, black interior. I absolutely love it! Great pull with the torque! Is an N Line Limited possible in the future?
I'd go for the accord 2.0t. can't go wrong with the Honda. Honestly I have lived with an accord, a 3 series, and a Lexus GS. And Honda really does make the best all around car
test drive the two and you'll have a better idea of which one you like more. that being said, i'd consider the k5 gt over the sonata because of the looks. personally, i'd take the accord and just tune it once the warranty is out.
It's called fake engine sounds. A lot of car manufacturers are piping in fake sounds because tiny little 4 cyls don't sound good. Remove the glove box and pull the wire that feeds it. I personally think it sounds like a trashy car game from the 90's.
I definitely see the front wheel drive character of the car, and savagegeese really didn’t like all the power going thru the front wheels spinning all the time, but I don’t not mind it. Often it’s fun, and it’s also not always your hitting the traction button off and putting your foot to the floor. In normal everyday driving you don’t have to really floor it anytime, and when you do it’s just to do it, and not because you had to.
@@markd8469 nice I was gonna get that color too but ended up with black. my mileage is a little low right now too but I think it’s because I’ve been getting on it a lot. I think when I drive more normal it will even out
Likely my next car, coming from am 18 yo 2006 Sonata 3.3 V6 I still drive daily and love, commutes are wonderful! Keeping an eye on both 2022 and 2023 n-line night editions. Had a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 as well ...my performers. Been waiting for something as good as my V6 and V8's
Yeah I got disappointed to see the North American version get done dirty like that to the point I even changed my mind about it I thought it was gonna be a better choice than the Sonata
I want to like this car. It's a fast, family sedan with a nice interior and humble badge. I just don't want a wheel spinning fwd car that can't put the power down. Come on H/K. Saab isn't around anymore, so stop trying to emulate that idea. Put AWD on this and you'll have something. You're so close! At least put an LSD on it!!!
I have been waiting to get a new car (coming from the 15 Sonata 2.0t) and I just want AWD!!! Just not having that alone makes me hesitant and opting for the Genesis.
It actually puts the power down better that you think. The suspension is tuned with stiffer motor mounts, and springs in the rear to control squat from all that power in front. I've had mine 3 weeks now, and I have yet to get any wheel hop using launch control or without...
3 big things I did not see are: (a) 360 degree camera (b) Blind Spot monitors - I saw the turn signals but the car did not show the blind spot (c) Heads Up Display
That's all on the limited, its a bit odd though cause I guess with the n-line u are sacrificing some tech to have a better engine and smoothing driving vehicle? I can't decide if I want to get the limited or nline
I wish automakers offering AWD on their higher performance vehicles, it’s pretty necessary. Like Altima AWD only on 2.5 and not 2.0 Turbo, Camry only 2.5 and not 3.5 V6 with AWD etc
I have a red Sonata in my neighborhood and i've loved the design ever since i saw it. I currently have an 09 Civic hatchback (love it to bits) but i'm thinking of switching to a nice sedan in the next year or so and out of my three options (Mazda 6 and Kia Stinger) the Sonata is the third at the moment :D
Hyundai has stepped up their game so much over the last 8+ years. This is easily the most attractive Sonota yet, especially the interior.
save for the copycat honda accord push button shifter, this beats Accord and Camry
Why did i spend 20 minutes watching a pov of someone drive this car when i own one....
i dont own one but i think the same thing lol
Cause he's a better driver than you
@@TheDeviousLight the review ain't on a track lol
I don’t own one, but this videos are my version of ASMR.

I just got my 2021 Limited, Quartz White, black interior. I absolutely love it! Great pull with the torque! Is an N Line Limited possible in the future?
This makes me really excited for the Elantra N.
A lot of reviewers really like this Sonata N-Line. Mason & Drew from Car Confections just bought one also. They love it.
My buddy bought a new Sonata and the thing can park itself through your phone. It’s not and N but it blew my mind. These are very nice.
This is the sibling to the Kia K5 also a very nice car.
That is SLICK Sonata! That red with the black accents are perfect!
Love my Hampton Grey, tinted the windows and boy it looks sharp 👌
It makes no sense that this gets the digital dash but the G70 and stinger both don’t for the US market
Well, good review and I bought one of the first one's off the boat from Korea and love it!
Hyundai has really climbed up the chain in recent years. Right now I am deciding between a Honda Accord or this.
I'd go for the accord 2.0t. can't go wrong with the Honda. Honestly I have lived with an accord, a 3 series, and a Lexus GS. And Honda really does make the best all around car
The Honda
Honda Accord for the win!
test drive the two and you'll have a better idea of which one you like more. that being said, i'd consider the k5 gt over the sonata because of the looks. personally, i'd take the accord and just tune it once the warranty is out.
I'd go for the Sonata. Nicer interior, stunning exterior and almost as fast
Damn that engine sounds kinda good!
It's called fake engine sounds. A lot of car manufacturers are piping in fake sounds because tiny little 4 cyls don't sound good. Remove the glove box and pull the wire that feeds it. I personally think it sounds like a trashy car game from the 90's.
I drove this last week and man it's nice. I wish it was here in Jan before I bought my k5 gt line.
Looks like a fun car!
I was considering buying the 2022 accord sport 2.0T but now I'm not sure anymore especially conisdering topher said he'd get this over an accord sport
I definitely see the front wheel drive character of the car, and savagegeese really didn’t like all the power going thru the front wheels spinning all the time, but I don’t not mind it. Often it’s fun, and it’s also not always your hitting the traction button off and putting your foot to the floor. In normal everyday driving you don’t have to really floor it anytime, and when you do it’s just to do it, and not because you had to.
Because they had touring tyres on it. They're idiots
the interior is incredible on this car
I just got one of these. I love it
Love mine too Hampton Grey, I'm a little bit disappointed about the fuel mileage seems lower than advertised
@@markd8469 nice I was gonna get that color too but ended up with black. my mileage is a little low right now too but I think it’s because I’ve been getting on it a lot. I think when I drive more normal it will even out
@@nickscott478 I always own this car and love it. But yes I'm only getting around 16 mpg as well so far.... what the hell
Likely my next car, coming from am 18 yo 2006 Sonata 3.3 V6 I still drive daily and love, commutes are wonderful! Keeping an eye on both 2022 and 2023 n-line night editions. Had a 1989 Mustang LX 5.0 as well ...my performers. Been waiting for something as good as my V6 and V8's
It's the same setting as KIA k5 GT, but I heard KIA gt made it better in Korea.Anyway, Korean cars are continuing to develop.
Yeah I got disappointed to see the North American version get done dirty like that to the point I even changed my mind about it I thought it was gonna be a better choice than the Sonata
I want to like this car. It's a fast, family sedan with a nice interior and humble badge. I just don't want a wheel spinning fwd car that can't put the power down. Come on H/K. Saab isn't around anymore, so stop trying to emulate that idea. Put AWD on this and you'll have something. You're so close! At least put an LSD on it!!!
+1, with a LSD or AWD it'd be a weapon for sure in that segment.
I have been waiting to get a new car (coming from the 15 Sonata 2.0t) and I just want AWD!!! Just not having that alone makes me hesitant and opting for the Genesis.
Get the Kia K5 AWD
It actually puts the power down better that you think. The suspension is tuned with stiffer motor mounts, and springs in the rear to control squat from all that power in front. I've had mine 3 weeks now, and I have yet to get any wheel hop using launch control or without...
One do the best cars Hyundai ever made, absolutely love it 😍
Nah the n
Happy to b a part of the n line club 😁
Thanks for your review. I'm getting one in May! Can't wait!
How’d you like it?
290 horse power, and there is still going to be a full N coming? That's nuts.
I don't think they'll have a full N Sonata.
if this engine was in the limited trim level + awd, there would be 0 competition lol
Killer review and driving! Added to my shopping cart. Thx!
Just got mines today only wish it was all wheel, but let me say this I would never in a million yrs thought I’ll be driving a Hyundai lol.
Passenger side front door is a different colour of red. Press car I'm guessing. Maybe it was in a fender bender
Great new option from Hyundai. They didn't have to, but they did.
3 big things I did not see are: (a) 360 degree camera (b) Blind Spot monitors - I saw the turn signals but the car did not show the blind spot (c) Heads Up Display
That's all on the limited, its a bit odd though cause I guess with the n-line u are sacrificing some tech to have a better engine and smoothing driving vehicle? I can't decide if I want to get the limited or nline
Hyundai has come long way in the last decade..
I like the driving while the music is playing. Same as most of us drive.👍
His voice is so relaxing :)
Imagine a sonata N with the same engine as the Kia stinger GT 🥵🤤
Why don't you stop at STOP signs? Aren't you supposed to come to a full stop?
Audio system in this car sounds so good and crispy
You were having soooo much fun which made this video great to watch. Also I felt like I was driving because you drive like me… reckless 😂😂
I wish automakers offering AWD on their higher performance vehicles, it’s pretty necessary. Like Altima AWD only on 2.5 and not 2.0 Turbo, Camry only 2.5 and not 3.5 V6 with AWD etc
I lease one yet here I am watching this video again for the 10th time probably
Hyundai has upped their game
I have a red Sonata in my neighborhood and i've loved the design ever since i saw it. I currently have an 09 Civic hatchback (love it to bits) but i'm thinking of switching to a nice sedan in the next year or so and out of my three options (Mazda 6 and Kia Stinger) the Sonata is the third at the moment :D
I can’t make a choice between this and the Elantra n
This is better
Nice built. Hyundai defines new standard.
It blows my mind how far engines have come in such a short period of time. A 2.5L I4 making 290 horsepower...
It is a turbo. Without it, it wouldn't produce nowhere near that much.
@@marksanford6534 yeah welcome to 2022. Like every car.
