I like that Hyundai finally stopped chasing Toyota and Honda, and started charting their own path. The Sonata Limited is a good mix of luxury and mainstream. I agree that the styling is subjective. Sometimes I don't like it, but then I recently saw a model in red with black accenting and it looked amazing. The one thing I would challenge Hyundai on is adding the N-Line engine to the Limited, at least as an option. For about a grand more, you can get an Accord Touring or Camry XLE V6, or a Mazda 6 2.5T Signature for the same money, which somewhat blunts the Hyundai argument on value. Then there is the matter of the Kia K5, which is a great looking ride as well(although its interior isn't as detailed as the Limited here. Hyundai has been killing it recently on interior design).

I think you still get more features for the price though. Most of Hyundai's limited trim cars get cooled seating (not just heated), adaptive cruise control, lane follow assist (which is a step up from other cars that just issue a warning or yank you back into the lane), blind spot view, 360 view, remote parking assist, heated side mirrors, rear occupant alert, etc.

I bought a white 21 sonata limited with camel interior and it’s an amazing daily driver. Whenever I give friends a ride they are shocked that Hyundai has come so far. Definitely one of the best sedans for the price range IMO.

Do you ever experience a jerkyness feeling or lag when accelerating from a complete stop or low speeds? I just bought one and I feel like it lags and jerks a bit when coming off the first or second gear, or when I want to make a decently quick left or right turn

[@allisonkeita9012]

I own one glowing yellow 2021 Sonata N-line for close to one month. I specially love this color as it showcases the red rear end tail light, and the gloss black front grille as well as the side mirrors. As far performance is concerned, this car feels damn good when you are on throttle, specially when accelerate right after the signal light turns green to give you a break from the monotonous city driving. You will get the feeling that you are being pushed back to the seat a bit which definitely feels good. You will have no problem whatsoever when merging in a highway or overtaking a slower car with this 290hp engine at your disposal. In a nutshell, if you are a car enthusiast who loves to get some excitement in your daily commute, Sonata N-line should definitely be under your consideration in this price segment. Thanks for the comprehensive review!

[@suje809]

But you dont get 360 camera blind spot assist or ventilated seats but its a good tradeoff i just wish it had all that

The solar panel roof wasn’t the selling point for me since up to 2miles a day on electric equals roughly 700-730miles a year which does not equate to too much savings per year (if gas is $4.50/gal, then that’s about $60 a year in savings).

It feels a bit jerky when accelerating at low speeds as if the transmission isn't changing gears smoothly enough when coming off from the first or second gear. It sort of jumps or jerks when I'm going from soft pressure to harder pressure on the pedal, even if im applying the pressure gradually.. Idk if I'm making sense, but has anyone else experienced this? I can't seem to tell if this is just apart of the new 1.6t engine, if this is normal for the 2021-22 sonatas, or if this is just turbo lag.. but I used to have a 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 turbo, and I never had this issue.
