Performance, comfort, and style

Great performance, style and comfort. Headlights are are a standout. The N Line brings enjoyable power. Comfort and drivability in a nice powerful package. Blue link is overbearing and can not be put in background. Will be a feature not going to purchase yet controls most of audio and navigation features.

What A Car!

I recently brought my Sonata Hybrid to my favored body shop to replace a cracked headlight. The office manager, who, by the nature of the business she is in, gets to sample many cars of any price and quality, drove my vehicle to pick up the replacement parts. When I came in to pick up the repaired car, she said, “You know, when you brought the car by, I looked at it and said to myself, gee, another mediocre sedan. But then I drove it, and I gotta tell you, that’s a heck of a car! Great response, very safe and secure feeling when you drive it!” Need I say more?

Smooth ride for most part

I notice when I slow down below 10 mph, or driving up a hill, or taking a turn, sometimes the vehicle stalls and stutters and its difficult to accelerate leaving me feeling vulnerable if a car was speeding around the corner or something of that nature.

Intermittent check-engine light unresolved.

Great car, except for intermittent check-engine light and auto reset. Electric motor control is not functioning properly. Check engine warning recommended to take the vehicle to. Hyundai service dept for evaluation. I did that, but they would not check the car without an appointment. So, I did schedule an appointment, and by then the check-engine light had auto reset and car was operating properly. Frustrating experience.

2021 Sonata hybrid heater problem

I bought a 2021 Sonata hybrid new and loved the car until a problem occurred with the heater. No heat in January. Part went on back order and I'm still waiting. Very disappointed with Hyundai. I see new Tucson's and Sonata's coming into the dealer so part availability is not the problem. They provided a rental car which has cost Hyundai over $5000.00 to date. When does customer service and economic sense kick in with Hyundai.

Engine light

Engine light went on grill flaps got stuck open gas mileage has decreased only have 14k on it and it's a hybrid maybe not a good feature for this car hopefully other hybrids aren't built this way something to think about

poor fuel mileage, other issues

Fuel mileage when new was 52-53 mpg now after 9.6K it's down to 47-48. Twice the air flap system has malfunctioned within the 1st year. Transmission hesitation when accelerating. At less than 10K miles there are rattles inside the vehicle already.

Bad reliability

I bought the sonata hybrid for the dealer services, extended warranties, and for the reliability/piece of mind. My concern was what would happen after 50,000+ miles, and I found out all the dealer services are terrible, warranties do not cover real problems, and that no one really cares. The dealership happily tells us they have no idea when it will be done, over a leaking coolant hose, now it’s the exhaust heat exchanger replacement. Bad business all around, 41 days and counting.

Was a nice enough car...while it ran

Had the heater fail in winter with less than 25k miles. Problem ended up being the EGR cooler. Dealer has had the car for 3 months with no ETA on the replacement part. I question this car's reliability on making any long distance traveling.
