Awesome car

Just a great car I have 2 sonata hybrid limited. Aside from some of the creature comforts failing my 2014 has performed excellent for the first 100,000 mi. My 2018 so far has 0 defects. We love everything about it!

Not a winter vehicle!

I bought this car due to several promises I was made which none turned out to be true. 1. You will get the tax credits on your federal income tax refund next year. WRONG! The tax credit statute had not only expired but did not even remotely apply to this vehicle. 2. You can turn off the hybrid system and use only the gas engine. WRONG! The hybrid engine is a major part of this vehicle and must be in good working order or the whole drive system will fail. 3. You will get about 28 MPG city and 45 MPG highway. WRONG! If driven properly and according to the manual you should actually get about 35 MPG city and if you are not overloaded and pay attention to how you are driving you should get 25 - 30 MPG in the cooler months (especially winter) and 40 - 50 MPG when it is warmer (in summer when it is between 80 - 100 degrees outside). If you live in a desert or a dry part of this country, you should have awesome gas mileage. If you live near cold weather like the north-east where snow and cold are the norm for about 4 months out of the year, I would NOT buy this vehicle. This is NOT a winter driving car. The hybrid system is designed to allow the electrical drive system to continue to pull forward to keep your momentum up so you get better gas mileage. This is awesome on dry roads but a huge problem on ice and snow. You do not actually slow down when you take your foot off the gas. You must engage your brakes. On slick road conditions, this is hazardous. The ride was good on this car for about 50,000 miles. I am currently at 95,000 miles and the car rides like a horse and buggy, very stiff and jerky. The back seat is horrible. It is super hard and on a long trip, your legs tend to go numb. However, this car has far more actual passenger space than any there 4-door sedan available at the time of purchase. I took an actual measuring tape to different car dealership and checked for myself before purchasing. The driver side headrest forces you to push your head in a weird position if you use the headrest as you are supposed to. In an accident, the design will definitely guarantee a neck injury. The radio forces you to flip through Sirius XM if you hit the wrong button on the radio. Sirius XM has terrible service where I live and I didn't want it to begin with but you are forced to take it when you buy the car. It comes in the radio and you cannot get rid of it. The car does not come with a jack or spare tire. The shape of the trunk opening makes it hard to get luggage in and out of the vehicle. So far the car has only had the rear brakes changed and other standard maintenance done to it. I am holding off getting the wheel bearings and struts replaced even though the car already needs them. These items should not need replacing until about 150,000 miles. I would recommend the standard Sonata instead of the Hybrid overall.

I think the car needs to come with a jack and tire iron along with a space saver spare tire, being stranded on the side of the road with a tire off its rim and having a air pump is useless. Towing the vehicle is time consuming and expensive and could easily be avoided?

Sonata hybrid

The only problem I have with this vehicle is the primary battery has died on me twice leaving me stranded on the side of the toad and in need of a tow to get back to the dealer for replacement. There is no warning regarding battery life being weak one day it’s fine the next it just stops??? This needs to be addressed and a solution needs to be implemented. The last battery put in by the dealer lasted less than 2 years. This seems like a very short battery life for something which cost over $300? My car has always been serviced at Rosen and they never indicate the battery is becoming weak, so how do I avoid getting stranded on the side of the road in the future?

Sold on Sonata's and sold on my first hybrid!

In 2010, I bought an '09 Sonata as a used car, and it has performed perfectly ever since. So I bought the new 2014 Sonata Hybrid for my wife and it has also performed flawlessly so far. Murdock's free-for-life oil changes and car washes have been cheerfully performed over the last 4+ years. Both cars are the best I've ever owned!

I love my Sonata Hybrid

The best car I’ve ever owned. 123k practically trouble free miles. As I use my Sonata Hybrid for transportation work the car sells itself. I promote people to own or lease a Hyundai when riding in my Sonata Hybrid. Look forward to owning and or leasing the 2020 Sonata Hybrid plug-in soon!

2014 Sonata Hybrid

We bought my Sonata new and currently have 79000 miles. I love it! I have driven all over the country by myself and have never had one moment of concern about its reliability. It gets great gas mileage. I love Hyundai's customer service philosophy. It is obvious corporate culture stresses the importance of the customer.

2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited

My first Hyundai and definitely not my last. Always a pleasure to drive and quite the value. I use my Sonata Hybrid Limited for a Chauffeur transport business and passengers constantly compliment my car. Passengers always intrigued surprised to discover Hyundai all its features when driving with me. So much so I have Hyundai car Brochures to give to my curious passengers. Looking forward to the 2020 Sonata Hybrid plug-in fully loaded...plus other alternative propulsion Hyundai Vehicles! Bravo Well Done Hyundai

2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 100k miles

Original owner of 2014 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. Now close to 100k miles and zero mechanical issues. I am VERY pleased with this car for its reliability (never been stranded), durability & overall ride comfort. Note it is hybrid so not the fastest in the world but it maintains great gas mileage (to be expected). Few electrical issues has been noticed: auto sunroof no longer operates with ease i.e. it used to open & fully close with push of a button but that feature no longer works, It now needs you to push & remain pushed until sunroof reaches desire state. GPS on screen keys have erratic responses. Pushing "A" activates other keys not desired. I have also noticed the car looses Alignment quicker than anticipated. Granted this could be poor road condition coupled with driving habits but something worth noting. All in all, if those are the only issues after close to 100k miles than I am a happy camper & a lifelong Hyundai Hybrid fan & customer. I fully expect my next car will also be another Hyundai with its outstanding track record.

I love my sweet Rooby red Hybrid!

I love my hybrid. Such a luxury vehicle. Every time I get it washed, it still looks brand new. I love the panoramic view with the double moon roof. I have 140k miles on it and I plan to keep her until I croak. Oh and I am only 45 years old!

Terrible car

This is the most uncomfortable car I've ever driven. The lag between depressing the accelerator and actually going is real dangerous. Power windows don't operate properly. It eats up tires for some reason. Buy real good expensive tires and don't get more than 25k miles on them. Head Light bulbs last maybe 8 months. It does not get near the millage that it is supposed to.

Love the car but poorly crafted

Fit and finish needs improvement but no complaints about the engine and how the vehicle runs. Wish there were vents and USB charging ports in the backseat. Seats don't fold down in the back and trunk space is limited. Sunroof rattles a lot even after multiple services. Ride is smooth. Turns good. Driver side window auto switch fails but still works holding it. Speakers are infinity but went out twice. Subwoofer doesn't improve sound compared to a set of quality speakers. Heated seats are nice but wish they had them in back and heated steering wheel. This year doesn't have park assist or lane change warning indicators but the back up can is nice.

Transmission failed in 4years

Still giving me a problem. I won't reccomend to go with the hybrid . I don't think it will last for more than 5 years, by the time you will paid off will start to give you the problems. I would reccomend to go with sonata but not hybrid car. SUV is good but not happy with the hybrid.

Former Jaguar Owner

After retiring, I thought I'd keep my 2008 S-type Jaguar for the rest of my life. Then one costly repair after another made me rethink the car commitment. In 2014, I bought my Sonata Hybrid and have been happy every since.

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

I am extremely pleased with the Hybrid. I don't think I'll drive anything different in the future. Driver's seat very comfortable, but the passenger seat is too low and not extremely comfortable for a long ride. Navigation system is wonderful.

No complaints except transmission failed in 4 years . I'm glad it was covered by warranty . Transmission failed when I was driving on highway and I had service two weeks before. I feel like I cannot trust my car and I will have to check complete during all the service.
