I just bought a 2021 Sonata SEL 2.5 today. This is just one step up from the SE but it has so many cool tech features. Its super quiet inside and drives fantastic. It feels like a full luxury car to me. White with black interior.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Congratulations on your new Hyundai Sonata. Have a great time with your Hyundai Sonata.

[@Jack.Chogii]

Love your videos, too bad I can't afford brand new one, I'm buying 2017 Prius tomorrow, I'll trade that into Sonata hybrid in 2023 lol

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Let's work hard to get our next dream car. thanks for tuning in Jack and please do support us by subscribing. thanks

[@johnholst]

Thanks for the quick look Charlie! Seems really nice! But I think I will like the all new K5 better...coming soon!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, John. Coming soon. They are saying this Novemberish. Thanks

[@mr808steelers]

That was funny when you signaled to change lane and how no one would let you in. On a complete stop, too! They chose to press gas instead of holding their brake an extra second. 🙄 😂 In Hawaii we call that “no aloha”. With that being said, love your Aloha! 🤙 Love your reviews. I sometimes go and check out your channel for older videos. Like now! ☺️

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yeah, some people just don't let you in. LOL.

[@envymiiah]

I have been waiting for this sonata to come out for a while. I have been thinking about actually buying one, if you have anymore tips to tell me I would appreciate that and also great vid I absolutely think Hyundai is destroying Toyota and honda! Go HYUNDAI WOOO KOREA

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Roblox for tuning in!

[@Pyroo0]

Hi petrolhead, you should put somewhere in the title of the video that this is a hybrid maybe so it helps when searching for it :D. Nice video!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you we will do that. Thank you.

[@Chinix]

Im pretty sure 6:30pm is considered evening, not afternoon haha. Love these night drives btw, i also love driving at night more den in the day.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thanks. I say wrong things all the time. Thanks for correcting. And yeah the taillamps look pretty nice at night. Its got its own look to it. Thanks Rockylol for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thank you~

[@WhitieWu]

I thought I'd wait for the hybrid but I'm not a big fan of some things. 1. No sun roof option. 2. 1000 bucks for the sun roof doesn't seem to save money in the long run. 3. The rims look pretty ugly imo. 4. They got rid of the cool parking feature (it's not something I planned on using all the time, but I could see it being helpful). Thank you for bringing these things to my attention.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, you can choose the panoramic sunroof, instead of solar roof. Yes, they have cookie like rims. But let me tell you the hybrid drives very nicely. Thank you White for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. thank you.

[@thisisntsergio1352]

15:25 this is amazing

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, i know right? It's quite nice. Really love the Hyundai sonata.

[@ew403488]

If I wasn’t into the GV80 😎... I would consider the Sonata... very good looking sedan. Love ❤️ the dash and features especially the dash cam, and ambient lighting 😃...All the features l hope my GV80 will have....lol 😁🙏🏾. Good review Charlie 3 thumbs 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾up!!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Eddie for tuning in. Yes i havr started the premiere a bit late today. Thanks for tuning in. And lets wait just a bit more for GV80. ^^

[@sahmeldin7626]

Thank you for showing all the hybrid features one more thing I want to ask which trim are you showing is it SE or Limited and what is the different. thanks again

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, this is the top spec model. Looks like Hyundai calls it different regionally. Thank you Sahm for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

[@lindabloom5158]

Love your reviews. So informative. Still waiting for 2020 G90. Mom wants to know when she can see it.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi Linda. I think Genesis is still deciding whether to go end of this year or early next year. Thank you~ And hope you guys get it soon.

[@DashtonPeccia]

Do you think they may eventually release a plug-in-hybrid version too? Or only regular hybrid + fuel version?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well haven’t heard anything about PHEV. But why not. Thanks Dashton!

[@stockey]

The Sonata N will be very interesting, Doesn't look like the fake police lights are fooling anyone lol.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

N would be just lovely. Thanks Bobby for your support

[@AmericanRoads]

I am sorry if I missed this in the video, but do the paddle shifters also change regen level like in the Ioniq?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

No its okay. I uploaded it a bit late. Well it does not have regen mode selector loke Ioniq. It just changes gears for you. Thanks.

[@mohammedhashim5233]

Hi Petro Petro why do think the guys in Hyundai didn't make the ambience lighting of Sonata goes all around the car not just in the front ?! I mean it really feels like it just lack that thing to be perfect Really what could they loose if they just add it to the rear doors .. Please ask them that

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, maybe cost issue and many because they didn't want to bother passengers and driver too much with the light? Not sure.

[@mohammedhashim5233]

@@AsianPetrolhead Noooo I don't think so Petro Passengers would never be bothered by such a beautiful unique feature that exists in fancy luxury cars like Mercedes, BMW, Audi and other luxury cars .. This feature blow away everyone's mind And I don't think that it would cost them a fortune if they add it to the rear doors .. They can just add a couple hundred to the price and the client will absolutely pay for it even if it costs a thousand bucks more to its price For me I would even pay a thousand bucks for each if I had to .. Please try to convince them to add it 😥😧

[@securitybase3430]

Nice Review Charlie!!!! Can please do a Review on the Kia Rio GT I'm wanna know more on this vehicle.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, Kia discontinued Rio here in Korea. Sorry, but they don't have a press car anymore. But if you like to see any other cars let me know. Thank you.

[@amigatommy7]

Had one Sonata for 20 years. Gave it away when it started turning on the tail lights by itself. Ran great but the battery...

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Wow thanks Tom for tuning in. Great to be talking yo long term Sonata owner. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

[@jaffarbaqi]

Bad news for the Camry Hybrid. Don't know about the upcoming Accord Hybrid though.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well. You know it is still Camry. They should be okay. Thanks Jaffar.

[@stevewise1656]

One thing I learned today is the new Sonata doesn’t offer CarPlay here in the U.S.. Instead Hyundai is only offering Android Auto. Generally Hyundai is ahead of the curve on tech, so this seemed out of the ordinary. On another note, I do like the front and side views of the car, though really don’t like the rear end. In my opinion I don’t think that will age well.

[@SimplyCali619]

Maybe Samsung has something to do with it 🤔

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, that is weird. Because we have apple carplay here in Korea as well. Maybe it is the royalty issue with apple? Thanks Steve.

[@jeffragar3493]

According to the Hyundai website it will have both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

[@stevewise1656]

Jeff Ragar I would imagine they do, though a Kelly Blue Book video released yesterday stated Android only.

[@Digitalknifeparty]

Jeff Ragar maybe you’re referring to the key app? CNet stated that the digital key app is for Android only with the iOS version TBD.

[@eugenewhodoesit]

Hello, hope you're having a great day! Do you think this car loses a lot of power in hybrid version compared to usual?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, Eugene. This hybrid actually drives a lot better than the regular guy. Because the electric motor just gives that extra power off the line. So, to your question, no. Thanks Eugene for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thank you.

[@ebonix33]

@@AsianPetrolhead are the gonna have a more powerful engine?? Like the 300hp camry??

I wish Hyundai took the 1.6T from the upcoming Kia Sorento hybrid and put it in this hybrid as an option 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, that would lovely. And i think Kia & Hyundai will start using the 1.6T based hybrid powertrain with many other cars. Thank you Pmo

[@azizjon8290]

I noticed that speedometer was on the left side of cluster, can it be moved to right? Btw I don’t really like the view of car, if they only put all those features in my Sonata 2017 Hybrid, would of been best car in the world))))

[@AsianPetrolhead]

No, you can not move the speedometer from left to right. Thank you Aziz for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. thank you.

[@joshuathomas7679]

The headlight feature that moves right ahead light up-and-down when you're towing something or have a lot of weight in the trunk is I and all models?

Hello, Charlie, Your videos are the best! Thanks a lot! Please, tell me if there's a possibility to adjust the height of Windshield Projection on the new Sonata - when I took one for the test drive here in Russia I've noticed that with my height (175 cm) even when the seat is set for the lowest position - I cannot see the top of the Projection on the windshield (the projecting image is cut on the top). Did You ever tried to adjust the height of the Windshield Projection or it cannot be adjusted? Thanks a lot for Your time and once again thanks for the videos!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi. Thank you ANd yes, you can adjust the height of the HUD on this new Hyundai Sonata. I am about 6.2 but there's (187cm) no problem because you can adjust height of the HUD. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Happy Holidays~!

The feature that you show in your video what the headlights moving down and up as that and all the Hyundai Sonata models?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, Joshua. This new Sonata does not have active bending light, it just has highbeam. I think that is what you saw, right?

[@FriedEggsWILDRIFT]

Does the solar panels charge the car even if its off?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, it does charge itself. Thank you for tuning in. And please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

[@SimplyCali619]

Does the adaptive cruise control annoy you to touch the steering wheel a lot or is it like the telluride where it drives itself for 5 minutes before beeping at you

Yeah similar to Telluride’s. It is easy to use. Thabjs for tuning in and please do support us by subscribing. Thank you.

[@watch3r9]

is the battery watercooled or aircooled?

Just leave it on. And it will automatically change the light to highbeam when there is no car approching your way. Thank you Rockylol
