Sonata Solution

The plug-in Hybrid is a great car for someone who drives low mileage each day, taking advantage of its small electric range. As a retiree I have found the car to be a perfect fit for me. I fill the gas tank once a month and use the electric charge daily.

30 miles all electric is sweet!

Averaging 30 miles all electric for my commute to and from work. Only gas filled up 4 times for the year so far. Averaging 42 miles/gal in Hybird mode. The car is roomy and easily fits my 6'3" frame.

I love my hybrid

This is the first new vehicle I have purchased in 20 years and there are so many new technology features. I love how quiet this vehicle is. I love the gas mileage. I fill up once a month and total cost is under $30. My typical day of driving is under 25 miles so the electric feature allows me to drive everyday and the gas only is used when I exceed 25 miles in a day. I plug the vehicle in every evening to an electric vehicle charger that was provided to me at no charge from SMUD. I paid an electrician $400 to install the electrical conduit for the charger. SMUD gives me a great rate of 1.5 cents per kilowatt when I charge the vehicle after midnight and before 6 am. I scheduled my vehicle to charge at 12:10 am so while I sleep my car re-charges. I received a rebate from the dealership $7,500 and also energy credits on my state and federal income tax filings. I am extremely pleased with my very small carbon footprint and the car is fun....so fun....to drive. Not only that, I think it is beautiful and the rear seat is roomy for passenger legs. The surround sound is awesome. The trunk space is limited because of the placement of the battery behind the rear seat so cargo is a big change from my previous vehicle and took some getting used to. But all in all I am very happy with my decision to purchase this very classy Sonata Limited hybrid.

Sonata Plug in review

I love my Sonata. I like going green. It’s a nice car to drive and own. I like the way it looks. It is great on gas. I feel like I never have to buy gas which makes it very affordable. It’s roomy, smooth ride. I like how quiet it is except, sometimes I cannot tell if I turned if I turned it off.

Comfortable, stylish, affordable, reliable, great gas mileage

We love our Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid. It has plenty of interior legroom and headroom for my 6'5" husband and is a very comfortable, quiet, and economical car. We almost never need to actually get gas, but the gas engine is nice to have for longer trips.

Hyundai sonata plug-in hybrid

The Hyundai Sonata plug-in hybrid is all I had imagined. It is smooth quiet in electric mode and provides electric power for a trip to work and back with a few miles left over if I use the gas motor on the highway. It the electric is used up, the gas engine takes over and is noisy on acceleration. A few more miles of electric power and a quieter, yet slightly stronger gas engine would be a plus especially if I had errands to do after work.

Hyundai Sonata Plug-In Hybrid

At 15K vehicle has performed as advertised; variety of safety features were unexpected bonus; all aspects of car (excluding trunk space) are well done; hybrid/electric features have enabled very low gasoline usage; suspension and interior features make long distance driving comfortable.

Best car I’ve ever had in my 30 plus years of driving.

What makes this car the best is that it quite inside and out. Add the extra leg room front and back seat makes this car great for long commutes with getting on average 44 miles to the gallon with the hybrid option. I love this car.

I recommend my car to everyone

I love my car! Lots of people come up to me to ask about it and I rave about the mileage and the smooth driving. It is fun to drive, the stereo system and Bluetooth are super handy. All around its the best car I've ever owned.

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.

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
