Not at all happy with the car

The car is very noisy when it switches from electric to gas. Drive wise also, it feels as if the pick up is not at all great and on trying to improve the pick up by flooring the gas pedal, the noise the car makes is really scary. 5 months after buying the car, I also had an incident where the back tire burst and I had to spend money to replace the tire as well as the wheel since the wheel was also damaged because of the impact. On that day, I depended on Blue Link for help, but it was a nightmare. They didnt listen to what I said about my location and said they can track it from my car's computer system. They ended up plotting my location in a completely different city and send out a tow truck to the wrong place. Needless to say, I was stranded on the freeway for 5 hours on the freeway and finally gave up on them. Even during an emergency calling Blue Link and getting to talk to someone takes a wait time of 15-20 mins. I called my Insurance Road side assistance and they promptly had a tow truck on the scene within 20 minutes. Later I complained to Hyundai about the bad experience with Blue Link and they said they will look into it but nothing was heard back after that

Better than a Prius or Volt

This is my third Hyundai and reliability has been the characteristic of all of them. I looked at several competition vehicles and found them uncomfortable with cheap looking interiors and plain ugly.

A sweet ride

Our Sonata Plug-in Hybrid is everything we hoped it would be. The dealer was most helpful in finding us exactly the car for which we were looking. Hyundai warranty is second to none. One year in and we are still happy.

Great Electric Car with a super warranty

This was a great car. The Electric range was not good but I liked the car. Then I upgraded to a G90 and i also love that product even more. I would buy the G90 Limo if and when it comes to the USA.

Solid if not exciting overall

Solid transportation. Reliable, relatively comfortable, nice looking. Seats could be better. Some interior materials could be better, especially the dashboard. Leaks a little oil, which is crazy for a new car these days. Makes a weird noise when you brake (part of regenerative system but annoying) awesomely quiet and composed. Not so composed at higher speeds on crappy CA highways. Interstate it is a touring beast once the roads are smoother.

Great Sedan for the family value minded person

Having a large Plugin hybrid vehicle at this price point is a very rare thing in 2017. I like the ride, economy, and drive ability whether on short trips within the city or a long highway drive to a special destination. The design of the vehicle is a very sleek looking one and all the creature comforts that come along with this car are unbelievable for the price point for a working family. I am also able to get closer to 70-80 MPG when I plug the car into a standard 120V outlet on a daily basis. The car is quite as anything in the higher class of vehicles, BMW/Mercedes/etc/. Whenever my friends who have high end luxury cars can not believe how many gadgets this car has at the price point I paid for the vehicle. I look forward to driving this car until my next PHEV hyundai vehicle with more features, etc.

Great Commuter Car

Gets me in the car pool lane in style! Has all the bells and whistles of a luxury car at a low price as well as environmentally sound. Performance for the plug-in is great!

Excellent value for money

99miles per gallon along with the other superior qualitative elements Hyundai Hybrids are known for. My only disappointment is the colour. I wanted it in metallic Blue.

Love My Sonata

I purchased this particular vehicle because of the plug in feature. I have excess solar power from my home system and decided this would be another way to be green. This vehicle fit my needs and has proven to be both cost effective and fun to drive. My drive to and from work is less than 27 miles so I usually stay all electric. Passing the gas stations puts a smile on my face almost every day.

PHEV

If you want to experience a great driver and want to have fuel economy without looking like an eco tourist then this the vehicle for you. You get all the benefits of a full size car but with great gas mileage and performance. This vehicle has pick up and almost will never get pulled over at speed traps due the family nature. It rises really smooth over bad roads and it is a great touring car. My only complaint is that I wish it had a better battery range. Since you get a full 25-27 miles from a single Charing session.

Great vehicle, still loving it after a full year

Works perfectly for me. My work commute is 20-25 miles, and I typically get close to 30 miles on just electric (slightly lower when using AC). I can charge at work, so I can go back & forth to work using very little gasoline. Very comfortable, looks great. Only major complaint - I wanted a moonroof/sunroof, but it wasn't available.

Plugin Hybrid Sonata

Solidly built vehicle. Drive is smooth and quiet. Much better than I expected. The built quality is excellent. Handling in wet condition is very good. The location of the automatic hand brake is not very safe. Slight imbalance of the tires.
