It's Okay

The title means just that. This car doesn't excel or excite or anything. It's the Honda Civic of the Hyundai lineup.

Overall I like the new Sonata. Would have liked to try out all wheel drive but no snow until next winter.

Love the car but HATE the extra Wi-Fi that can't be disabled.

I traded in my 2021 Sonata SEL Plus for a 2026 Sonata SE Sport that I did not take home. That's because the telematics, and especially the extra Wi-Fi network, could not be disabled as promised. I loved the color, styling, handling, warranty, and gas mileage but it's not healthy to be constantly exposed to close-proximity Wi-Fi every minute I'm in my car. Unfortunately, most other new cars have this BS persistent Wi-Fi network and mandatory cell connection nowadays and it's frustrating. It supposedly handles extra data when your phone is connecting to the car through Apple Carplay or Android Auto. But a few companies allow you to disable it and all telematics (handling OTA updates, cell tower connections, etc.) so, with much consternation, I got my money back and bought a 2026 M***a instead. Come on, Hyundai. Give us the option to disable all that crap and I'm a customer for life again. I thought I was a lifelong customer because I was very happy with my '21. But now I'm just super disappointed.

I love the vehicle overall, but it has some quirks that drive me crazy, such as not being able to default to off the front forward warnings.

Debbie A. @ Inver Grove Hyundai

I went to Inver Grove Hyundai, met with Debbie A. and in less than 4 hours, I was driving the car of my dreams!! While Debbie listened patiently, I told her some of the issues I’ve had at other dealerships, with other Sales People. And, I told her all the things I wanted in my new car. And , in less than 4 hours I was driving the car I’ve wanted for over 30 years. The difference wasn’t in what I said, it was in the Sales Peron’s ability or choice to listen. Debbie heard me. Thank you!.

Debbie A @ Inver Grove Hyundai

Go to Inver Grove Hyundai, ask for Debbie Anderson and she will get you into the vehicle you must have.. From start to finish, it has taken 8+ hours to find a car, at a price I can afford. It took Debbie under 4 hours to find me the perfect car at a price price I can afford. It’s taken 30+ yrs, to have the perfect (for me) car. And I couldn’t have done it without Debbie A. @ Inver Grove Hyundai.

Sonata n line

I like the car, wish it would have a few options. We could add such as garage door opener memory seats and the place to put your sunglasses. Also, the brakes seem to be an issue as there is a ton of brake dust.

Fun to drive, technologically advanced…maybe too advanced

Driving the car for less than three months so far and it is quite enjoyable. It has better acceleration and driving response than the 2019 Hyundai Sonata Limited I was previously driving. It feels lighter and more nimble in every way. The miles per gallon is slightly better as well (but I only have 1400 miles on it so far). I have received many compliments on the overall styling, and the wheel rim design specifically. As far as things I do not like and would like to see improved: 1. A larger gas tank. Going from an 18+ gallon tank to a 15.9 gallon tank is still an uncomfortable change. 2. The interior is listed as light grey but it really is closer to an ivory white. Lighter shades are desirable given the high amounts of sunshine where I live. But such a light color leaves it susceptible to getting dirty very easily. 3. I despise having to log in every time I turn the car on. Consider allowing a default boot up setting. DO NOT go to using facial recognition. 4. I much prefer the volume and station control being on the left side of the steering wheel. If I am driving with only one hand on the wheel, it is mostly my left. And if I am adjusting anything, it is mostly the music and not the cruise control. 5. I miss being able to lock my doors using the button on the inside of the driver’s side door when exiting and leaving the car. 6. CarPlay has had issues properly connecting or remaining connected on about four different occasions. I cannot figure out if there is a common cause to this happening. 7. It would be nice if there was a shallow tray that could be moved/removed from the storage space under the armrest, rather than just the deep and long space that is there. 8. I am disappointed that other features for the car can only be accessed through the app. I will not download the app due to distrust of companies tracking, collecting personalized data, and then selling or misusing that data. I am already unhappy with the extent that Apple and Google do it (and others), and do not want more on board. 9. Why is the key fob so big? That would be much better if half the size. 10. The back edge of the hood is too close to the windshield wipers. The wipers cannot be lifted off of the windshield to a full extension.
