2020 Hyundai Sonata Vs. 2020 Mazda6 - The Stylish Sedan Showdown

[@theredline]

Hey guys! We decided to invite Keith back for another comparison test, since a lot of you guys enjoyed having him along in our last one with the Volvo and Subaru! This comparison really came down to whether you preferred all the latest tech features or additional power. Hyundai does have a solution coming out soon with the Sonata N-Line. Sadly, the N-Line is not out yet and we have no idea when it will be available. Let us know which one you guys would prefer between these two sedans!

[@Fjimenez003]

I feel like bringing in guests dilutes the over all in-depth review aspects that has made me love this channel so much . In my opinion, having another person there just go like "yeah, i don't like it either", "yeah, i love them too", & "what do you think" (instead of having them have their own time to give their own opinions). I dont know, maybe I'm one of the few or the only one that stands behind not having guests as much but rather have a one person in-depth review. Also not a fan of Sofyan walking around holding the camara, the production quality has been top-notch as of late and this seemed like a step back. Just my two cents, Im still gonna love the channels just wont enjoy reviews like these as much vs a single person review.

[@hannibalhector3719]

The lane keep assist on the Sonata is actually a button on the left of the steering wheel next to the brightness controls and brake. There are other features you guys missed like being able to use your phone (android only) as a key as well as having a keycard. The charging USB ports are actually quick chargers if you have an android phone. A couple negative things are that the passenger seat does not move up or down, just front and back and the glove compartment does not have a light.

I love the tech and the pano sunroof in the Hyundai, but the 6 is such a beautiful car that, for me, it’s hard not to choose it. The 6 is the car that gets me to turn around and take another look. The 6 is a car that will look good for a very long time. This car would look at home on the showroom floor of a luxury vehicle manufacturer.

[@krispontious7009]

Mazda isnt going to do the Pano sunroof because you cant do any repairs without breaking the sunroof and there is no warranty on the pannos. And to be honest, how often do you actually use your sunroof? Makes the car top heavy, adds about 400lbs to the top of the car, weighing it down and giving you more powerloss. I cant stop you from getting a car with a pano, but theyre really not worth it, added fuel cost for the added weight, more parts to break, and impossible to repair without adding about 4k to your repair bills to replace your pano sunroof that most people use less than 10% of the time.

The Mazda 6 is a beautiful car but if you want one you're in a very, very small minority. In the first quarter of 2020 Mazda dealers in the US sold only 4500 vehicles, down 35% compared to 2019 and ranking 18th among midsize sedans (mainstream and luxury). In fact the only mainstream sedan with lower sales was the discontinued Chrysler 200. (Three sales.) Of course COVID-19 has had a significant impact on automotive sales in 2020 but sales of the Mazda 6 in the entire 2019 calendar year were down 30% to 21,000 vehicles compared to the previous year. In short, in terms of sales the current generation of the Mazda 6 is more reasonably considered a collector vehicle than a competitive vehicle. Without a major redesign it's unlikely to survive.

[@KhrissyDaDon]

NOW THIS IS A SHOOOOOOWWDOOOWWNNN!!!!

[@aytugdemir1323]

You also forgot another selling point which you don't really talk about in your videos, reliability. The Mazda will run circles around the Hyundai. Hyundais already start having weird engine issues at around 100k miles, I've noticed in this in their newer cars from the 2010's. The Mazdas are very reliable, and with their deal with Toyota, I bet they'll be more reliabke than ever.

[@VfRuckus]

Irony for me is the lower trim engine are better than the top end. The 4 inline w/ Turbo and only GDI is only going to lead to maintenance problems that will cost 700-1000$ to fix. The 2.5L is the dual injection system, it's the better system I think for overall reliability, and ease of maintenance.

[@leeterwilliger2303]

The mazda still looks better

[@mlps93]

Mazda wins by default of having amber rear signals. Hyundai being less safe and cheap and cost cutting by making the brake light and signal light as one unit.

[@niuhuskieguy]

The question is which stereo sounded better, the Subaru Harmon or the Hyundai Bose?

[@tonyrock5313]

Talking about a screen. How about performance, reliability abd construction?

[@NevadaFederalBites]

The Mazda is just beautiful 👍

[@sg51psd04]

Have and 18 MZ6 GTR, came from a 16 MZ6 GT...love the 2.5T. Lowered it 1.15 inches with some tanabe NF 210s and now it has the stance it should have come with from the factory. Just gorgeous

[@LuisAlbertoForever]

Mazda 6 for me. That design is from 2018 and it still looks beautiful. That Sonata's front is just plain ugly, like Pontiac Astek kind of ugly.

[@Yoomaro]

Darkivaz-AAA still looks better

[@usmanfarid3760]

I wish I could afford a new car in corona time 😞

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

:(

[@TheSQL-Lover]

There are way more important things in life right now than buying cars

[@aidensnew8562]

The mazda looks like it could cost 20-30k more then it actually dose, the sonnata looks polarizing at best on the outside at best and looks like a cheap toy in comparison to the mazdas interior Sonata fanboys: "but the sonata has available adaptive cruze control at a cheaper price!!!" Yes- yes it is cheaper in every way shape or form and anyone seeing it drive next to a mazda 6 or accord can see that. Anyone that's sat in even the cheaper mazda 3 will tell you the sonatas cabin feels like it was designed by Fisher Price.

[@StanleyYelnats123guy]

The sonata has better tech, nicer interior and is more spacious. The exterior design is a either love or hate it thing. The interior is way nicer than mazdas. Better MPG, better warranty, better tech and smart park which can come handy in tight parking spots. Mazda has more power yes and a more accepted exterior design but thats about it. As a daily driver I would go with the Sonata in terms of comfort, tech and fuel economy but the mazda is definitely more exciting to drive. So no, the sonata is not made cheaper in every way than a mazda. Especially when you compare the interiors and tech.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Sonata for me. I think it looks way better and even inside I like it better though Mazda probably has the better materials overall. They Hyundai is fresh and daring on the outside and really flowing and modern on the inside. It also has way better visibility which is important to me.

[@VeronicaUSA]

Sonata has a great warranty and road assistance and that's why it was a winner for me ;)

[@LordWinter]

The Sonata has some interesting and modern elements but the Mazda is way more cohesive and beatiful

[@borninhk1]

Mazda needs to speed up their RWD-biased platform. That, plus a more powerful engine/transmission and modernized infotainment system! That said, the Mazda 6 is often heavily discounted!

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

Is that a joke? Not in my area

[@qaisbahadur3671]

This is the comparison I always wanted to see

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

The Mazda design is TIMELESS. sexy as hell.

[@carltonposey369]

Thanks … this helps, seeings that the Mazda 6 has been my fav, and it strengthens my choice

[@nautical1078]

That Sonata grill is so ugly.

[@mire570]

They need to take notes from the Toyota Camry XSE, that’s my favorite grill design

[@naveenthemachine]

Aye it’s Rob same here. The Camry XSE v6 impresses me more than either of these two.

[@mire570]

naveenthemachine exactly but the interior of the Sonata beats the Camry to me

[@Altorres94]

mazda grill is the ugliest of all sedans

[@z-reviews3706]

I don’t know if I would say the base 2.5 is gutless in this car, but it’s definitely not fast. I found it acceptable but the 2.5 turbo is definitely worth the extra money and reduced mpg

[@johnw9245]

*** The base Mazda 2.5 engine is NOT gutless! 0-60 acceleration times are as quick or quicker than the Hyundai. The 2.5 Mazda Turbo completely blows the Hyundai away in acceleration and performance!

[@ehut12]

i used to sell cars for mazda and before i even clicked on the video i already picked the sonata. hyundai and kia have come a SUPERRRRRRRRR LONG WAY! hyundai and kia will overtake toyota soon. just take my word for it.

[@Hushh27]

Honestly if they combine features of both cars they would have a amazing sporty Sedan that would be so fun to drive

[@UzumakiNaruto-xt9fm]

It seems like Hyundai is famous for infotainment system rather than engine & transmission or reliability 😂

[@NileshR12]

I actually like the wheels on the Sonata Limited. You can easily swap them out for something you like aftermarket if you buy the car or lease it & keep the original wheels when you need to return it at the end of the lease

[@Cesar-kj2sc]

GREAT comparison, thanks for all the content and the hard work,. (mazda 6 for me)

[@NaimFennell]

I love my Sonata!!! The K-5 is great!!! I like the Sonata TFT display!!!

[@001spring]

Easily prefer the Mazda 6

[@001spring]

@Darkivaz-AAA So I shouldn't prefer it because others don't buy it? Lol

[@krispontious7009]

Depends what you prefer, I absolutely hate the Hyundai Lane Keep Assist system, Id rather have the Mazda system where it gives you nudges, rather than ripping the steering wheel out of your hand like the Hyundai does.

[@joskjj3625]

Both are excellent sedans Id go with the sonata

[@LuisPerez-cv7kd]

Low the diver window and it a two pieces like the windshield . The headlight have the diving light build in them ,and the headlight.Turn the the direction to turn the steering wheel. Also look at the trunk hinges they are covered in insulation

[@ricokimbro4316]

You forgot to mention the fancy turn signals cameras in the gauges on the sonata?

[@Reddylion]

Hyundai sonata 👍

[@qm2008]

I like the Mazda but it's lacking some options that most cars have now. I like the design.

[@chigasaki06]

Realistically, how many features does the average driver use?

[@josephcastro88]

Cornering Full LED headlights w/ Automatic highbeam assist, Adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, Lane keep assist, power folding mirrors w/ blindspot detection and cross traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, Android auto and Apple car play, Center digital dash, heads up display, rain detecting windshield wipers, Windshield wiper defroster, 360° Camera system, parking sensors,11-speaker Bose audio w/ Center point II sound system, Genuine leather Nappa Leather, Ultrasuede and aluminum trim inserts, 3-stage heated and cooled front seats, 3 stage heated rear seats, 4 USB ports, LED interior lighting with Puddle lights, bezel less rear view mirror w/ automatic dim function, Ambient lighting. And more.. As the for the 2.5T, there are several critics of it but a comparable 2.0T Mercedes C-class couldn't keep up when I test drove it. This isn't even the luxury segment... aside from a pano sunroof, what more do you want?

[@Sam-mw5hx]

@Richard Favreau true

[@BluesLover051]

Way too much chrome on the Hyundai and the grill same. Always have liked the Mazda. I have a 3 and like the fact the infotainment screen isn't touch screen while in motion. I rarely use the touch screen when it is available.
