No pure electric mode

When I switch the car in “ELectric Vehicle (EV)” mode and press the ECO button I don’t want the gas engine to come on. However it does that at some random point as you start pressing down the accelerator. Why am I buying a plug in hybrid? So I can commute on battery. Close to impossible w this car. This one thing has ruined this otherwise really nice car for me. Wish I could afford to return it.

Good car

Not great battery storage. Very short range on a full charge. Basically a hybrid vehicle. The plug-in option seems to be a wasted effort. Compared to my previous Hybrid purchases, I would not advise spending the extra money on the plug-in.

Best All-Around Hybrid

This is a review of a Sonata PHEV Limited, which I leased in May of '20. I spent several months researching a new vehicle. I have special requirements due to my large frame and partial disability. The Sonata/Optima ranked highest on my list for front seat leg room at 45 inches. This is more than full-size sedans, trucks, and SUVs. Second most important was that I wanted to go full or partial electric. Besides the green benefits, the torque of an electric motor is very helpful in many driving situations. I like that for the most part I can travel on electricity or engage hybrid mode for longer, out-of-town trips. I do wish the vehicle had a 6.6 kWh charger onboard to cut down on recharging time. I live in a condo complex and don't have access to electricity at my designated parking stall, therefore I charge at a local ChargePoint nearby. Accelerating onto the freeway is more than adequate (again thanks to the torque of the electric motor). In fact, the motor creates so much torque that traction control often has to retard it to prevent breaking traction. Although still early days, the car is free of squeaks and rattles. Its ride is neither too soft nor too firm but just right. I have a bad back so this is an important detail. The 4-way power lumbar is very useful. I'm really impressed by the headlights. They're LED and turn with the steering wheel. It really helps me to see on the winding mountain roads on which I live. For a hybrid, this car is luxurious. It has all the creature comforts, gadgets, and doodads one would expect in a luxury car. The fact that it averages 50 miles per gallon makes it a great no-compromises vehicle.

Great drive and eco friendly than most cars

The car works great all the features are nice I pick up time I need a little bit more of a muscle but once it takes off good performance I will recommend this car because it's eco-friendly I wish the range for the battery was longer than 28 miles but he's better than most cars I had this car for a year and only put gas four times.

great overrall

I'm an early adopter of EV, having had BMW i3, Audi e-tron, chevy spark (EV), I knew exactly what I'm looking for in the next lease. Everything about the car is 10 out of 10 except the brake and trunk space. The regenerative braking does not work well with the regular brake pad, there is abrupt braking when attempting to brake slowly to a complete stop with moderate speed. I was willing to sacrifice the trunk space for the battery in this plug-in hybrid, the engineers definitely needs to redesign it properly, there's only enough room for 1 carry-on luggage. Again, everything else is 10 out of 10, great value for the money.

Sonata Plug In

Great car except the heater is very lacking. After multiple returns for service, leaving the car for a week, Hyundai would not authorize any repair or offer a solution. After driving 20 minutes in cold weather, the heater still will not produce heat. This is unacceptable.

All around Great

It has little flaws but its an all around excellent car that I have and will continue to recommend. The only flaw is for some reason the breaking will switch from very tight to very soft during normal breaking. Otherwise this vehicle is very safe, comfortable and stylish.

2019 Review

I have been very happy with the Sonata line. This is my third new Sonata (2011, 2015 and 2019). I do a lot of driving and require extra leg room. I find the Sonata meets my needs. I was also looking for better mileage and the hybrids met that need.

Great but...

I like this car. I just wish that that it has three full LATCH seats instead of the two. I also think that a car that costs as much as it does should come with a moonroof. I also think that in future the sonata plug in should have most of the safety features available only on the limited on all its trim levels. I would also add that there needs to be more color choices

i really like this car

i primarily purchased the car for its fuel economy, and plug in capability. i was not disappointed! my commute to work is usually electric, and hybrid mode coming home. this allows me 900 to 1000 miles per gas re fueling.

Good smooth drive

My Hyundai Sonata is a nice smooth drive with good acceleration. It is very comfortable and with the electric aspect I barely use gas. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who wants to save on gas and still have a car that can fit four or five people.

Excellent car for my long commute

I drive an average of 100 miles per day. When looking for a car I wanted comfort and fuel economy-this vehicle delivers both and looks great as well! Though the transmission shifting is more noticeable, the engine is more powerful than the other electric hybrids I’ve driven. I love Apple Car Play and was happy to see it came installed in this vehicle-Android Auto also comes standard. I get ~30 miles on a full electric charge and I’m happy with the large fuel tank-I hate stopping at the pump! Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase.

Plug in Hybrid is the way to go

My second Hyndai Sonata, very reliable, spacious and fun to drive. This is ridiculous that I have to write 200 words, the car is great and you are forcing me to write an essay you just ruined the review.

2019 Hyundai Sonata

Great Car! Exterior and interior is clean. Love the pearl white. Filling the tank for $25 is amazing! The milage is a huge plus. Plenty of space in the car. Having the blind spot feature on the side mirrors and back up camera is extremely convenient.
