2020 HYUNDAI SONATA Limited vs HONDA ACCORD Touring - [IN DEPTH COMPARISON]

[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to my Patrons for their support! Would you have the Accord or Sonata?

[@Mx5pro]

The accord has a very timeless aggressive look vs the sonata will look outdated after 4 years

[@letdothisman1139]

Accord hands down resell value and consistency when in doubt go with track record you can shine up a turd allday but at the end of the day a spade is a spade

[@kingkiril]

Accord

[@suhjoseph5559]

Accord is boring. I like Sonata much better. Come on People! These cars are just family sedan class. It's not like you will drive them with race pressure. I like Sonata's all new feature techs and futuristic design. + Hyundai's warranty is one of the best option.

[@rafaelmillan5800]

I have the 2020 Accord Touring. It’s AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@dwnshft]

rafael millan nice!

[@Rick9482]

That last side by side shot pretty much makes my choice. That low, low, hood and low drag coefficient of the Hyundai make it a design win. All the internal features of the Limited are going to keep it current and pleasing to own. The Honda is fine and will please its fans but it's just not my favorite car company and I've never been tempted to buy one.

[@dwnshft]

Nice!

[@ersandy4u]

Sonata is like someone you have a crush on and Accord is the one you marry.

[@dwnshft]

Hahahh love this😂

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

But like many marriages, it dissolves. Accord is boring

[@ersandy4u]

@@Mrtellitlikeitis depends! Happily married for 7 years, decades to go!

Good review. Not sure why people are complaining the video is too long, I want detail in videos like this and that is what he gives. I currently have a 2013 Sonata Limited and I've had it paid off for awhile now and I'll be getting the 2020 Sonata Limited. I test drove the new one at the dealership and I was very impressed by it. I know people complain about the grill, of which I did but when I saw it in person, it grew on me. I didn't get to test the Bose audio system in the car but I've heard it's pretty good. Seating was great as well, I'm a big guy at 6'2, 270lbs and I didn't have a problem being comfortable, which I didn't expect there to be any issue because my 2013 seats me well. Honda makes great cars and so does Hyundai, never had a problem with my Sonata or my prior car, the Tiburon. The warranty, where else can you get that kind of coverage? The tech, warranty, seating and a lower price than the Honda. I almost forgot, the cooled seats. I'm always pretty warm and videos I've watched said Hyundai did the cool seats just right. Can't wait to get this new one, but with this whole coronavirus going on, not sure when!

[@dwnshft]

Ask Me glad you liked the video!

[@charterd]

back lights of Honda looks great at night, plus that engine has so much power than to Hyundai

[@dwnshft]

yousuf aijaz this is true

[@KJB4]

Accords do have full stop capability on the adaptive cruise control included with Honda Sensing.

[@lakeatman504]

I like the design of the Accord but both really nice

[@kyron2092]

Accord for handling and interior space Sonata for all of the features

[@MarcBasilla]

Yup. You can get the manual in the Sport Trim with the 2.0 turbo.

[@georgeburney6013]

Show me what other car has it in three words . Reliable, any fuel at pump and room like a suv ?

[@lhrkicks4476]

Did you mention the 360 camera that sonata have , 12 speaker bose premium sound ?

[@tinioespinal]

I'd buy the Sonata for being a more complete package, and it's also future proof.

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Huh? Future proof

[@tsuk2430]

Don’t get offended but what’s your monthly pay for a car note cuz I’m thinking of getting one

[@good104]

[@henrylam4036]

I originally was looking at Camry and Honda after hating my Altima CVT. I ended up getting the Sonata because of the tech inside, i won't feel i'll need a new car for a long time.

[@dwnshft]

Nice, congrats!

[@chinmayvidyadharlimaye2332]

Does the sonata have heated rear seats? with the limited spec version?

[@JonathanSanchez-pf5iz]

I appreciate this video so much ! I’m looking to get my first car I honestly don’t know much but I’ve been looking at Accord Sonata Maxima all current models what would you suggest I plan on driving from New York to jersey about 500-600 miles a week mostly highway I don’t really care for speed I’m mostly concern about what’s gonna last putting those miles any input is appreciated !

[@dwnshft]

Jonathan Sanchez good I’m glad the video is helpful! I would definitely go Sonata. The accord is nice but for that kind of mileage Hyundai’s highway driving assist will be really nice. Honestly the maxima is just old and hasn’t been refreshed in a long time so I would definitely go Hyundai. Plus you get the best warranties with hyundai

[@ewenmacdonald115]

Thank you for such a well-placed and excellent review! I will say the Sonata is very impressive in many regards, especially on the tech front. However, there is a reason the Accord is year in year out near the top of the mid-size hierarchy. The quality build, materials, roominess and driving dynamics are simply first rate. In touring trim the Accord grazes the boundaries of being an entry level luxury sports sedan. Thanks again for you great work!

[@dwnshft]

Ewen MacDonald thanks for watching!

[@ascanius_son_of_aeneas5344]

The accord is the only midsized car with adaptive dampers.

[@sungji7933]

Thank you for your review! great video

[@dwnshft]

Thanks for watching!

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

I pick the Sonata. More features for the money. It's 2020 and you mean to tell me the Honda Accord still don't have a panoramic roof? Even Toyota finally added that feature with the new Camry. I also noticed that you forgot to mention blindspot camera in the dash on the Sonata. A feature that Honda started in their cars. But Hyundai took it to another level. I do believe that the new Kia 2021 K5 will blow the Accord and Camry out the water. Especially the GT version with 290hp! Hyundai N-Line will have the same powertrain. Hyundai and Kia is killing it with the design and features for the money. All thanks to former Audi/VW Designers Peter Schryer and BMW, Albert Biermann.

[@ascanius_son_of_aeneas5344]

Actually the k5 is slower and i imagine the nline is around the same performance

[@ascanius_son_of_aeneas5344]

K5 looks nice though

[@ft9kop]

The Accord has adaptive suspension so that's where the Budget went

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Whats the rage with a pano roof? Most people dont even use a sunroof. It also compromises the structural integrity of the car. A pano is like most things now. Johnny has one so I gotta have one. We live in a cookie cutter world. A pano is just another way of getting more money out of you for something thats rarely used

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

@@Mrtellitlikeitis It's a lifestyle preference. Just like everyone who gotta have an iPhone. Panoramic roofs is very mainstream and popular. Especially in luxury brand. Yes, Honda Accord is not a luxury vehicle. But the fact other domestic cars in their class is offering luxury in a competitive price point is a missed opportunity for Honda in my opinion. Maybe they will finally add that feature on the new redesign model. For the record, I use my sunroof in my car. All of my vehicles I owned in the past had sunroofs. I won't buy one without it. Like I said earlier, a lifestyle preference.

The accord does have full stop adaptive cruise control. I use it all the time. Maybe you should do a more through test drive.

[@woody7155]

I also noticed how he said the accord had a full digital gauge cluster 😒

[@rkgsd]

I'm digging that dreamy, Tangerine Dream type music.

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

The Accord is better and sexier. Hyundai straight up copied Honda’s push button transmission and Civic taillight design.

I’ve got the new Sonata in sporty trim it’s a great car

NIce!

[@TruthHurts2u]

I want a car with the Honda's 2.0t engine, 10-speed trans and exterior looks with the Sonata's interior looks and features.

[@jordanmorales8610]

I love the look of the Sonata. My question is if it will have the same reliability as the Accord. That said, the Accord having the new engine, who knows if that will have problems down the line...

[@MrHemerryman]

Great video, nice job. Did not know what to buy, but after seeing your video I'm going with the Hyundai..

[@dwnshft]

Perfect! Enjoy! Glad you liked the video👍

[@stephenhendricks103]

It's difficult to go against the Accord in this comparison but when the N-Line version of the Sonata comes along it may be a different story.

[@dwnshft]

Yeah the N Line will take care of the only issue with this Sonata

[@letdothisman1139]

The accord is the champ you got to knock the champ out to win not a split decision its a reason its on the 10 best list every year nice try Hyundai but the accord gets the knock out definitely 252hp is unrated more closer to 300 hp bring on the n line

[@letdothisman1139]

@@dwnshft underrated i meant

[@stephenhendricks103]

@@letdothisman1139 The Accord is an awesome vehicle (imo). When I was looking at the current generation of midsize sedans nearly two years ago, it outpointed the Mazda6 and the Camry on my score sheet. And the Accord (as well as the Camry) will undoubtedly outsell the Sonata in North America. But Honda (and Toyota) are already looking uncomfortably over their shoulders at vehicles from the Korean manufacturers and there are other markets in Asia and Europe where Hyundai and KIA already sell very well and can be expected to improve their sales with models like the Sonata (and the KIA K5).

[@bhoffman8984]

The Honda power ratings are actually a decent amount off... in a good way. A bone stock 2.0t makes 236/269 on a dyno. So roughly 280 hp & 315lb ft at the crank as opposed to the 252/273 reported by Honda.

Accord 10 speed automatic transmission is hard to beat with 93 octane is reaaaally smooth and the specs don't make justice because the car feels faster.

Why are you comparing the 2.0T Accord with the base Sonata and not the more powerful turbo model. This is not an apples to apples comparison

The limited trim of the Sonata is the top trim. top trim vs top trim. fair comparison

I'm actually not a fan of either front styling of the car. Sonatas have the catfish mouth and Accord has the wide hammerhead shark-like front which I dislike a little more than the Sonata front as the catfish mouth is starting to grow on me, especially in the hampton grey color.
