The 2024 Hyundai Sonata Continues to Deliver | MotorWeek Road Test

[@67tomcat]

8 secs 0-60 is fine. Not every car needs to be a rocket.

[@VPoje]

Anyway just buy a N-line with the 2.5 turbo if you want more power.

[@jcat96]

​@@VPojeThere's an N Line that regulars my track, gets mid 13s in the quarter stock.

[@VPoje]

@@jcat96 yep, it's a very good car, i tryed one 2 months ago!

[@radicalcrash]

0-60 in 8 seconds is not fine. The vast majority of full-size SUVs and trucks do a lot better than that. As well as a lot of crossovers. If you're in a small car like the Sonata, and you're ever targeted by road rage, you're already at risk because the Sonata is too small, and low to the ground. Being so much weaker than the bigger vehicle is even worse. Every car should be held to a required performance range so that no vehicle has an exceptional advantage over another. It's not okay to just say every car doesn't need to be a rocket. Because if some cars are rockets, they all need to be.

I've had a '20 Sonata hybrid Blue trim since new, and my self-calculated average is ~49mpg over the last 50 tanks, though I do drive like a grandpa 99% of the time. Had basically no issues--certainly never been left stranded anywhere--and I highly recommend the car to anyone not ready for or unable to afford an EV. Larger or midsize hybrid sedans should've been our market's bread-and-butter, not the bloated gas-guzzling boxes and pickups that are everywhere now that people almost never use to their potential, anyway.

[@markt4605]

I have a 2018 Sonata Hybrid with the same powertrain. No issues at 70K. Bought new at 25K (before the pandemic madness). Dependable and very easy on the wallet.

[@thomascollins7932]

go back and look at the review of the 1990 lexus 400. the car rocketed to 60 in just 8 seconds. 20 mpg v8 then. 40+ mpg 4 cyl now.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

Except Lexus is far better than this pile of JUNK

[@thewiseguy3529]

A mustang gt did o to 60 in 7 seconds back then. 8 seconds was lovely for a japanese luxo barge of the time.

These look pretty good. It’s funny how foreign brands are the only ones making sedans for America.

I see this current generation Sonata everywhere. Hyundai obviously improved the reliability over the previous two generations. Love the look of these.

[@anasevi9456]

So glad they gave it a heavy facelift, the pre face lift of this gen was downright homely, and I've not seen an attractive Sonata since generation since the 5th gen 2005-2010. Infact my nostalgia for the 5th gen Sonata is probably also because that was the last generation to have the supremely reliable port injected engines. Back in the 2000s if you took care of them, they were as dependable as a Camry, but the Hyundai CDI engines are just not and never have been.

[@DanielGarcia-zq5rl]

He's a legend 🙌

[@masterkevj23503]

I’m just glad Hyundai finally found their own style. This actually looks nice and original.

[@iaaronteeit510]

Ya all that tech is fine until your Hyundai engine inevitably breaks

[@joshb2812]

It’s not a theta2. The dual injected engines have been out for years now with little issue 👍 If it was a theta2, different story lol

[@eddieg6436]

10 year / 100,000 mile WARRANTY.

[@Jonathan-bk3dq]

This generation Sonata has the new engine designs that have been reliable. The previous two generations from 2011-2020 have been problematic.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

@@eddieg6436 That they don't honor, unless there is a law suit

[@eddieg6436]

@ Absolutely NOT TRUE. My sister’s Sante Fe was repainted (faulty white paint), and a NEW (not rebuilt…..she did have to be firm) engine was put in at 82,000 miles. Neither required threats or lawsuits.

[@Butchcub75]

I’ve seen these on the road. They look awesome. Test an N line ! Yeah 8 second 0-60 is fine. It’s an economy car. I’m glad Hyundai and some others haven’t abandoned sedans. Personally I think CUVs are stupid. Barely get better mileage than a traditional SUV and don’t have the SUV’s off road capability. Minivans and station wagons are better cargo holders. During a recent move my 79 Buick Park Estate held more cargo than my 04 F150 crew cab Lariat with its 5”+ bed.

[@allentoyokawa9068]

ALL piles of JUNK

[@danhummel84]

Hyundais are fine if you only need a car for 4 years and arent concerned with resale value... if you need something better buy a camry or accord.

[@saintsubie6661]

Says who?

[@AllyMcLesbian]

Surprised that it got better fuel economy than a Camry hybrid! Around me, everyone thinks Toyota is the only hybrid manufacturer, and I am very anti-Toyota - I'd gladly take this Sonata Hybrid any day (and I also prefer a real automatic over a CVT). Not to mention that I've already gotten a Hyundai to 330K miles and am not quitting anytime soon (2009 Genesis).

[@trevorlynn7276]

I laughed when you said it “just” achieved 42.7 mpg. That kind of economy was virtually impossible years ago, let alone on a well equipped mid sized car.

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

I think cause other hybrid sedans are around 50 mpg

[@tom11zz884]

May be a better buy than a Honda Accord at this point, considering Honda quality and reliability issues.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

The N Series is a real kick.

[@dohc1067]

It's definitely better looking inside and out, but I prefer the Accords interior.
