I would take that solar collector roof over the panoramic sun roof every time.

[@fallguy4209]

Omel Borpon there is no panoramic roof with the solar panel roof

[@huskydinosaur2860]

Why? You're not going to gather much energy with such an insignificant array, it encourages you to expose the vehicle to UV which is very harmful to the paint, plastics, and rubbers on the vehicle, and its moot anyway as I just spend $1.48 a gallon on gas and prices are likely to fall further as the economy declines and the price war escalates.

[@MiguelRPD]

@@huskydinosaur2860 Yeah no, those prices aren't going to last forever. I don't see the point of the solar panels but it's nice to see it on more cars to hopefully bring the costs down, adoption rate up so more research can be done with increase efficiency.

[@Seattlejoe1]

My sister has a 16 Hybrid Sonata - on long distance highway trips she gets 55 mpg. I have driven it and found it very smooth.

[@dphclu]

I drove a 2016 sonata hybrid Limited 99,000 miles in about 30 months as an Uber driver. I averaged 37 MPG over that time period. Based on your report, it looks like the 2020 sonata hybrid could improve that substantially. Now I’m driving a 2019 Santa Fe Limited and averaging 24 MPG. I would love to see a hybrid power plant in the Santa Fe. Hopefully that’s coming from Hyundai.

[@Mamo878]

Yup, it's odd that there aren't more hybrid powertrain options in each model range for pretty much all cars. Toyota is pretty good about that though. Although SUVs will not match the sedan MPG numbers because they are like bricks moving through air.

[@markmiller3279]

I'd say there's a good chance of it as Hyundai/Kia seems more committed to hybrid and/or EV versions of their vehicles than anyone but Toyota. It helps that it's a lot easier to package these modern batteries in a conventional car than the larger batteries of a few years back.

[@PresidentJackBauer]

The hybrid grille looks better than the regular one

[@michaelhe7952]

The front looks quite like Aston Martin and I like it

[@MrJamespeyton]

I have a 2015 Sonota hybrid and the nice thing about the higher mileage is that you can go much longer distances before you must stop for gas. That gives you more options on long trips. My Sonota gets about 45 mpg and about 600 miles per tank .

[@MontyGumby]

45 mpg actually sucks

[@GeoffCostanza]

I've wanted this on EVs for years. It makes sense to put solar panels on a roof that's otherwise wasted space. If this was a plug in hybrid, this would be my ideal car. Thanks for another great video!

I do like the hybrid front grill with the chrome-like accents, compared to the all black standard model.

[@claytonroot806]

Totally agree!

[@lowrider276]

The looks have been growing on me as well. I'm not sure what is, but the hybrid looks so much better to my eye. Looks aside, this new generation Sonata has been a very impressive entry. I'm curious as to how the new optima will compare.

[@markmiller3279]

I think the grille texture helps. It looks smoother and less like a gaping maw. I think the regular Sonata looks better in real life than in pictures taken from down near the pavement.

[@will-i-am316]

It's the wheels... 😁😁😁

[@joebrown9621]

This tirm Sonata in this colour is the best looking version i have seen of this Newer generation.. in my opinion

[@charliechilders7786]

My thought is with the hybrid/Solor roof, best color contrast is the white base color with the black roof, or having the red.

[@dsugioaga]

Bought a new Fusion Hybrid shortly after Ford announced they would cancel most cars and focus on SUVs. Turned out to be the right time to do so - I think I got almost 10k off MSRP. So far, the only issues I can think of are limited trunk space and dated interior... but those are things you are obviously aware of before you buy and they don't bother me. I get about 46 - 47 MPG average in it but I do drive around almost exclusively in eco mode which enables better throttle control (so you can drive around longer and more often in pure EV mode) and more regen braking. But I don't hypermile it - I drive it like a regular car, just in eco mode. Build quality is surprisingly good. No rattles or squeaks, no enormous panel gaps. Reliability, too, has been very good so far but obviously I haven't had it for that long. If you can live with the dated interior and smaller than average trunk space this seems to be a decent daily driver/commuter.

[@langlebl]

In the thumbnail, that's the best I think this car looks! The wheels are the right size on the hybrid, the chrome grille looks better than the blacked out grilled, and the extra chrome along the lower front fascia looks more elegant!

I also am warming up to the overall design of this new version of Sonata. I just would prefer that Hyundai would also deliver this in an AWD version, too. The solar roof is definitely a desirable feature as well.

[@robertstanford9177]

This new chassis is set up for AWD so that is a future possibility.

[@Artecus]

David Wolf , are you in the snow belt? Have you tried FWD with separate winter tires? I’ve migrated away from AWD over the years, rely on aggressive winter tires, separate black steel wheels and TPMS sensors, and that solved my snow issues. Also saved me $2,745 and have higher fuel economy.

[@zachl6918]

[@zachl6918]

@@Artecus Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. The Altima had good low RPM torque and even the Blizzak's would easily spin with the slightest push on the gas pedal. I currently have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson with AWD and have no issues getting around in the midwest. I hope to keep it another 4-5 years but always watch Alex's videos as he's simply the best car reviewer and for my next vehicle I'm considering going with either an Accord Hybrid or the Sonata Hybrid. If I went with either one of those winter tires would be part of the deal for me. The Nokian's that you suggested look very good. Do you normally go with studded winter tires? The blizzaks I had were not studded and maybe that was part of my problem.

I think the SEL trim is the best option (at least for me). Most of the stuff on the Limited is not really necessary for a pleasant or safe driving experience. Just doesn't seem worth five grand more. I don't mind that it is a bit slower than the Accord or Camry hybrid - as long as its more or less the same as the standard ICE engine models that's fine.

Yeah! That solar panel roof only generates 2.2 mpg more for over $1,200, when you can get a panoramic sunroof for $1,000! I would get the sunroof! The solar roof is a good idea but not for the price and the low mileage difference! Also, I would get the 6-speed paddle-shift and not a CVT!

[@kolt9051]

I think I would be looking at a ford fusion hybrid - I get the A plan, and with gas prices being low (causing low demand for hybrids), the dealers looking to get the model off the lot (discontinued), and with car sales in general being low due to coronavirus, I think this is the time I should buy!

Thank you for the thorough review. It was between the Camry Hybrid LE, Accord Hybrid EX, and Sonata Hybrid Blue. We ended up buying the Sonata Hybrid Blue. We got a good deal $3k off plus 0% financing. Ended up being at least $2k cheaper than the other two cars. I like the interior and infotainment better in the Sonata. The Accord mpg was lower and you have to step up in trim and price to get Apple CarPlay so it was third on my list. The Camry I liked the traditional shifter better but tbh the interior is lacking and cost more. If the 2021 Camry was out it would be a tougher choice. Also the Sonata Blue trim doesn’t have a spare tire.

Another great review Alex! I agree the front end is going to take some getting used to but I did like the preview video in white. I am curious about the hip/shoulder room in the rear of the Sonata vs the competition. I had a 2012 Sonata Hybrid that I replaced (due to it being totaled in an accident) with a 2013 Avalon because the Avalon was a little larger and a little nicer, particularly with more rear seat room for a car seat and my two teens. Some interesting experiences from my ownership of these two vehicles I thought I would share. The 2012 Sonata Hybrid had 128K miles on it when it was totaled 2.5 yrs ago. I purchased a used 2013 Avalon Hybrid as the replacement (w/45K mi) and now have 118K mi on that car. The Avalon is bigger, roomier particularly in the back seat hip/shoulder area and it’s averaging 38.9 mpg lifetime vs 37.8 for the Sonata. What has surprised me though is that the Avalon’s interior has not held up nearly as well as the Sonata. The center and side arm rests are wearing out on the Avalon, the seats also show more wear and the fake chrome trim in the Avalon has started to peel, even cut my hand once. Few if any of these issues in the Sonata with 10K more miles on it so far. I can also say that while the Toyota hybrid system is a little more efficient and more powerful off the line etc, the Sonata has WAY more confidence and power passing at freeway speeds. The Sonata would drop a gear or two, engage the electric motor and engine and take off, the Avalon just spins the CVT to a higher RPM and slowly accelerates. Overall, I’d say while I love the Avalon and the more premium feel and space, I prefer the comfort, power and driving experience of the Sonata in many ways. If the new Sonata is as large in the rear seat hip/shoulder room as my Avalon, I can see making a change.

[@davidnielson9139]

The Sonata was a mid-sized car and competes directly against the Camry, the Avalon is the next size up, a full size car. The 2012 was still the first generation hybrid by Hyundai (the 2011 Sonata Hybrid was their first hybrid ever), so the Sonata was less efficient than the Toyotas (which were on about their 3rd generation hybrids). The Azera would be the Hyundai equivalent to the Avalon, but Hyundai did not make a Hybrid Azera and the car was discontinued in 2018.

[@MichaelSmith-fh4rn]

I like it. I especially prefer the front grill being not blacked out. I don't like blacked out anything. on a car.

[@ParulJain2013]

Alex many thanks for your detailed and consistent reviews. I am a big fan! I like this front over the regular Sonata. Some notes on tech. Camry is lacking in infotainment and driver assistance. The 2020 Camry has TSS-P v1.0 which does not have lane centering or traffic signal recognition. Accord has very good lane centering and traffic signal recognition since 2018. But the Accord does not have 360 camera, and the content available on HUD is limited compared to Sonata. For example Sonata shows blind spot and cross traffic alerts on the HUD. Sonata has lane centering, but it is so unreliable that you will never use it. Also Camry and Accord are supported by Open Pilot, which is a $1,200 aftermarket add-on that adds Tesla Auto Pilot capability to many recent models, whereas Sonata is not. I think tech is very nuanced. Manufacturers check off a list of features, but the quality of those features can vary greatly. For example Tesla cars have rain sensing wipers, but they use camera and software to detect rain (no sensor), and so far their system is catching up to regular sensor based rain sensing. I think this is an opportunity for reviewers.

[@joa8593]

So much better looking than the regular gas version. The new hybrid system is a concern, but in a year or so this will be a *very* compelling competitor in the segment. I've found in the real world Toyota hybrids also do better on the freeway than the city. I think the EPA city driving cycle isn't realistic, maybe they let the engine warm up too much or assume too much speed change on the freeway or something. On long freeway trips it's easy to get well over 60 mpg and on most city trips I can't even get 50 because on shorter trips the engine is cold.

[@BanBiofuels]

Hybrids make more sense than non-hybrids almost without exception.

Per Hyundai this is a lithium-ion polymer battery, which is quite common for a hybrid, as well as for phones, and anywhere that size and weight are major issues. Other hybrids and EVs use different lithium-ion battery designs, most notably the ones Tesla makes and uses, but polymer batteries are common enough.

I can't understand why every auto reviewer thinks it's one of the best looking mid-sized family sedans. IMO, Honda produced a rather hideous design. Hyundai took some risks with the Sonata, but I think it works. The solar roof is a nice option. It will be interesting to see how the redesigned model sells in the segment.
