2024 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid | Does it REALLY Get 51 MPG and Would I Buy It Over Toyota Camry?

[@charlesapplebaum965]

I have had a '23 Sonata SEL Hybrid for 2 years and get over 51 mpg in warm weather.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Nice. This one was still being broken in.

[@Night0v0]

I have the 2024 hybrid limited. Fricken love this car. I have gotten up to a very good 54mpg on my commute after 30 minutes of traffic followed by 30 minutes of open highway daily. When I do the same drive with no traffic I avg 45mpg and that’s cruising at 80mph for about 35 minutes. Las Vegas is 550 miles 7.5 hour drive from my house and on a 13 gallon tank it seems, I almost make it to Vegas without refuel. If I slowed down a bit I’m sure I can do it on 1 tank.

[@GTGarageTalk]

😮 Very nice

[@hdhd7402]

I have a 2022 Limited and the wife loves it. It was the most bang for your buck in 22 with all the standard features. Toyota has taken note. Ventilated seats are a GameChanger. I use to work in Korea, that changed my perspective a lot. Topped off my car reads 579 miles. After 539 miles my wife made me stop so she could go to the bathroom! I’m a EV guy so I try to squeeze everything out of the car. She wasn’t happy that trip!

[@GTGarageTalk]

lol. Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely a fan of the brand.

I just received my Hyundai limited hybrid I am getting the stated mileage 51 on the highway and I was getting around 45 in the city.. I'm really impressed with this car this is my third Hyundai I have nothing but good things to say...

[@GTGarageTalk]

I love that for you! Enjoy that car!

[@ralphweber3965]

I have been driving a new Sonata 2024 Limited for two weeks now. I like the transmission blue color. Since my purchase, I have been averaging 49-55 mpg over several fill ups driving over 1000 miles. Pretty happy with the mileage. If looking at the mpg per trip, you might be a bit disappointed, but it is the mpg per fill up that really counts. I'm driving city, highway, and rural roads. I love the cameras. Very happy! :) I don't know if I look forward to test the heated steering wheel once it gets cold. :( But that sounds like something nice. No more mittens in the morning.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@bentleytran1442]

Hey thanks for your hard work. Ik its a lot of work to film and reviews btw my car is just like this one. I'm loving it. Got my windows tinted and bought rearview mirror with homelink. On Amazon used for 200 bucks Best buy install for 45 bucks the speakers are already good sounds really nice. But I'm put aftermarket speakers soon

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy yours!!! 👍

[@jgriffin411]

did u get the homelink mirror from Hyundai or 3rd party? Kinda strange they would dropped that feature, esp. on a 38-39k priced vehicle. The SantaFe & Tucson still have them.

[@bentleytran1442]

@@jgriffin411 no. Got it on Amazon used for 200 bucks

[@johnfeasel8637]

We bought the SEL and get 56+ mpg. I’m truly blown away by it.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Love that!

[@mambamentality9886]

Dang your making me want to reconsider the hybrid

[@johnfeasel8637]

@@mambamentality9886 Not just the fuel economy but the comfort has been really nice too. I’m a 6’4” 270 lbs guy that struggles with fitting in many cars and this has been really good.

[@bentleytran1442]

You're the reason why i bought this 2024 Sonatas hybrid same color in and out. I've got 42 to 48 mpgs i even add another layer of door gaskets makes the car even more quieter

[@GTGarageTalk]

Happy to help!

[@voiceofreason314]

I rented a Tucson recently and going over those metal bridge connectors is really noticeable (otherwise it's really a smooth and quiet ride). Does the Sonata feel similar?

[@aliikram4087]

They have settings for different coasting . They also have smart regeneration for the brakes and fuel saving

[@kris.notchris]

This car looks amazing. Really love the tan interior and all the features. It looks better than the camry for me. But still im torn

[@GTGarageTalk]

What are you torn over?

[@kris.notchris]

@GTGarageTalk the Camry vs. the Sonata. Toyota is reliable. I've heard Hyundai's engines aren't. But I know some people who haven't had an issue with Hyundai. So just don't know who to go with.

[@GTGarageTalk]

@@kris.notchris Toyotas are having reliability issues as of late. Something to consider. If you are willing to take the "risk" Hyundai does have the best warranty in America. 10 year 100,000 miles.

Hyundai/Kia killing it my favorite 2 brands now

[@GTGarageTalk]

I know, right?!?

[@jbjb9691]

thanks for the review, well, what mileage do you actually get?

[@GTGarageTalk]

I never saw over 41

[@jbjb9691]

[@peterniss7328]

Stock rims are usually heavy and inefficient. I would personally downsize to 16 inch forged rims of some kind. You won't have any complaints about efficiency or the acceleration of the vehicle.

[@davidmintz5333]

I bought a 2024 Hybrid Limited, I am averaging 47 mpg without really trying. I’m sure I will do better as time goes by.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

I would rather have the N-Line edition than this but it lacks premium features that this Limited Hybrid has because Hyundai does not want it to take sales. If the N-Line or the LimitedHybrid had AWD and a spare tire I may consider both. However I am now deciding between a Subaru Legacy Sport or a Toyota Camry XSE that are better choices than the Hyundai Sonata.

[@mrkrabbz4834]

Great presentation sir 💯

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thank you for watching.

[@jgriffin411]

Dang the windshield reflection from that dashboard is terrible. Why didn't they use black vs. camel, they would be a hard pass for me!!

[@tomdwyer4421]

I agree with you. Today I tried out the Camry and then the Sonata. I would pick the Sonata. Has nice features, feels more premium. XSE handled a little better but not as good a ride.

[@Offensively-normal]

Why would compare a sport tuned suspension to the soft ride of a limited? You are literally comparing apples to oranges.

[@Mesopotamin007]

It’s weird that the sonata Limited came with only hybrid option and the Azera car is not available at all in the US markets which you can buy it instead of this trim and get a V6 with standard version it’s unfortunate because the US markets is the best version. We prefer to buy a salvage used car from the US more than a new one in the Middle East.

[@CB-rr9xm]

Torn on what interior color to get. Love the brown, hate the beige headliner so you basically have 3 colors going. Don't know why they just didn't do a black headliner. Black leather will probably be it.

[@peterniss7328]

Hyundai usually advertises the base model mpg numbers. You can probably achieve the 51 combined with the base sel without the extras.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Good point. I did everything I could to improve fuel efficiency with my driving habits.

[@Aaronduhmoron]

After break in period I'm sure it will improve, 1500 miles or so. Has been my experience with other new Hyundai

[@blackgold754]

@@Aaronduhmoronyour fuel efficiency improved within 1500 miles? How does that work?

[@filetofish7688]

Would you prefer the camel interior you have or do you think a black interior would be better?

Personally: caramel.

[@pascalouellette8516]

No, it gets about 44-48 in Texas so far

[@chadhaire1711]

[@djplonghead5403]

Do the headlights turn? If this had a Toyota engine I would buy it instantly. So much more value than a Camry.

[@peterniss7328]

No

[@GTGarageTalk]

No adaptive headlights.

[@Scypher0th]

Hyundai nearly hit the ball out of the park with this one...i was sold the moment i heard what it was coming with Turbo and AWD! Then i found out that NOPE you can only have one at a time....LAME....plus the price is INSAINE!!! Even with my discount as i work at Hyundai i cant justify the price tag on this car....

[@GTGarageTalk]

Have you priced the competition? It’s reasonably priced (for the current market)

[@blackgold754]

@@GTGarageTalkit’s really not. I’d still buy it but this shit should be at least $35k in total, not over $40k

[@chadhaire1711]

Hybrids are waste of money.......even if you get the MPG advertised the extra $3,000 hybrid cost would take 130,000 of miles to pay for itself. Just get the basic non hybrid that gets 35 mpg highway.
