Is the 2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line a BETTER sport sedan than a Kia K5 GT?

[@SwayTrades]

ANYONE LOOKING AT BUYING‼️‼️i just bought my N-Line 2 days ago.. and i completely love it. it WILL surprise you. something he didn't detail in the review is the interior ambient lighting. the chrome that runs all along the interior has lights under it, and the color and brightness is adjustable on the infotainment screen. it’s really nice at night. enjoy y’all

I got mine back in May. 2021 N-Line in the Stormy Sea color (dark blue). It was because of your previous review of the N-Line,Joe, that I test drove and purchased mine! My wife even purchased a black '21 Hyundai Elantra SEL as well! We could not be happier and I thank you for your in depth and informative reviews. It really helped my wife and I with our decision to purchase. To anyone thinking of purchasing an N-Line, I think you will like it. It reminds me of a "sleeper" car. You look at it and think " thats a sporty and sleek family sedan".......then that turbo kicks in and she is deceptively fast! I absolutely love mine. Thanks again Joe and Lori, keep up the awesome work!

[@theejpp]

K5 GT looks marginally better on the front and back but I still think the Sonata looks quite good in this trim, especially from the side. The interior styling and quality is what sold me on the N-Line though. The seats are MUCH nicer. Better bolstering and better use of materials (Napa leather and micro suede vs synthetic leather on the K5). The addition of the digital gauges and the ambient lighting make it feel much more upmarket than the K5, too

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.

Agreed Joe, the K5 is better looking.

[@theejpp]

If you go off of the Car and Driver numbers and compare it to tests they’ve done with other cars, it’s crazy the things this Sonata beats in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. 330i, C300, Charger R/T, IS350 F Sport, TLX Type S, etc. etc. etc. It’s a hell of a car for the money! Huge sleeper vibes

Great review joe as always 👍 but how does this sonata compare to the 2022 nissan maxima platinum?

[@RaitisRides]

That is such a great question.

[@smurry915]

I have one. Absolutely the best car I’ve ever owned. So much the girl is getting one soon too!

[@blazo11]

Is there room for insulin with that 5lb bag of skittles? Seriously though, you can't hide how much more you like this than the K5! Great review!

[@xSkysplitter777]

I wish you could get the n line performance and look with the limited options!

[@pauldoodnath]

I really like the new sonata and k5 so it would be a difficult choice but it's awesome to see far kia/hyundai have come in the past 30 years, great review

[@derekintrovert5619]

30 years they were here in The U .S. In 1980's

[@pauldoodnath]

@@derekintrovert5619 still they've improved massively in those 30 years

[@islandon22]

This is a very attractive car. But for relatively the same $, I'll buy a Civic Si, or a Honda Accord 2.0t loaded. At trade-in, in five years, I'm 100% sure I'll get better money for a Honda (also Toyota, or Mazda).

[@saaddehllu2841]

There’s no doubt about that. And you won’t be going to the mechanic.

[@GoDsSoN770]

Stock for stock, you'd get smoked by the Sonata though.

[@theejpp]

@@saaddehllu2841 Hyundai and Kia as brands are more reliable than Honda and they come with a much better warranty

[@makeshiftlake3519]

You can’t beat Hyundai/Kias warranty though, it’s best in the business

[@t2leo1]

I just bought a 2022. I feel the same as you. It’s a pain in the ass the grill and cleaning up after driving and the bugs. Zonk on the grill. Also wish it came with a thicker steering wheel, plus more instrumentation needed oil pressure voltage meter. Plus the ambient lights I wish it would have gone all doors

[@heathertowne7709]

Joe can you please do a comparison video of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson vs the Kia Sorento?

[@markwalsh2709]

I've had tons of Hyundai's, and I bought a Sonata N-Line in portofino gray and my son bought one in black, back in February of this year (2021). I love this car. I live in SoCal, so I don't know why they came with all-season tires, but I'll be switching to the summer tires soon. I would have gladly paid a bit more to have cooled seats and heads-up display, and of course, limited-slip or an awd. I also wish the stereo had better imaging. It plays loud, but even with the custom surround mode, the imaging is not there the way it should be. When playing really loud, it's pretty good, but at normal volumes, it sounds a bit empty - not much of a soundstage. The value of this car is great. fuel economy the way the car is driven in this video, will be more in the 17mpg (or less), but when taking it easy, it is pretty good. The dual wet clutch shifts are really fun - you feel them. One thing that I find annoying on most Hyundai's is getting fresh are through the heating/cooling system. On a cool, sunny day, when I need to keep the windows up, the car will heat up from the sun, but there is no setting that will allow the 60-degree fresh air to come into the cabin through the system, even when putting the temp all the way down (a/c off) and setting it to the outside air. It could be that the air gets heated up from the engine compartment, but it is annoying.

[@brianfromthirty]

Exactly how I would get is speced👍🏾

[@donfinkey692]

The only option is summer tires and special paint.

[@CurbUrEnthusiazm]

Omg bro! Joe really put the twinkies this time 😂😂😂 I’m dying

[@2004cyrus]

Yep and skittles

[@pwist52]

I think between the 2 sister brands I would choose the k5 gt. Looks so much better then the sonata

[@edwardhoffmaniii3190]

Agree and the round exhaust tips look better than the Sonata n exhaust

[@pwist52]

Totally and not to mention the whole headlight housing as well as the rear taillights
