The 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Blue Will Save You Some Serious Green ($$$) At The Gas Pump | Review

The 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Blue... But this one is Sonata Blue, its white....
Check out the all-new 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. But this one takes it up a notch because its the blue edition, which means its lighter, and gets even better MPG's than its "regular" Hybrid brethren. Today, I take a look around the car, drive it, and explain how its better than the similar Hybrid offerings from Honda and Toyota. Come for the Hybrid review, stay for the Sonata jokes!
Huge shoutout to Hatchett Hyundai for letting me borrow the Sonata Hybrid Blue for the day. Be sure to check them out, and tag them in social media posts if you want to see more videos like this one!

“...and let them know I sent you.” But it’s Sonata gonna get you a discount.

[@ElliottAlvis]

It might!

[@brandonterry4890]

Elliot is the kinda friend that you always enjoy having around because you know you’ll get a cheesy joke 100% of the time, and that’s what everybody needs in their life.

[@ElliottAlvis]

That’s a pretty accurate assessment of hanging out with me.

[@Topher-N]

I bought the same exact model. While I dont have power/heated seats, leather, and a sunroof the MPG plus the smart cruise plus the highway drive assist is well worth it. It also has wireless carplay. Love it.

[@ElliottAlvis]

That’s great Christopher, glad you are enjoying yours!

[@daviddennis7558]

Sonata car I would buy....having lived in South Korea for a number of years, I have observed many examples of Sonata good workmanship. Sonata vehicle that is on my ownership bucket-list.

[@joeconti2396]

That warning sound makes me think of the Macintosh boot chime for some reason

[@ElliottAlvis]

That’s what my dad said too! It’s like an extended version of the Mac gong.

[@Michael_in_Vt]

Just purchased a 2021 Hyundai Sonata hybrid SEL, love it! So quiet.

[@eddie2011cam]

Does it have a one pedal drive mode?

[@bl6369]

How do you like it 3 years later? I'm considering buying a used 2021 sonata hybrid. Would love any feedback!

[@Michael_in_Vt]

@@bl6369 NO issues, I love it.

[@wriddle082]

Right at the very beginning that was me a few hours ago. Got in the gas line at Costco in my GMC Sierra, a Toyota SUV was ahead of me, and we both hit the pumps at the same time. The SUV driver was done and gone at least 2 minutes before I was done. The numbers didn’t really fly by for me, but they certainly did keep going up!

[@ElliottAlvis]

I know what you mean!

[@ModelA]

That is a LOTof carfor

[@ElliottAlvis]

I agree Paul! Its a very wild sound, but its really cool at the same time.

[@ExTrumpet]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone defiled the back of your Suburban with a Mizzou Tigers sticker. I hope it doesn't leave a permanent mark...

[@ElliottAlvis]

lol

[@ExTrumpet]

Sonata fan....

[@clifbradley]

I'm sure the Canadians will say 'So-nay-ta' like when they say 'Meh-zduh' instead of 'Maw-zda' but it's sonata bout how you say the name. It's also sonata bout the quality anymore. HYUNDAI makes good stuff and they back it up with the best warranty.

[@AndrewJVN]

Did you just pronounce Mazda in a southie Boston accent?

[@ezharkey3131]

"Orange means you'll die if you touch it" I choked on a carrot when you said that. Orange really is the color of death.

[@barbaraalvis2881]

I always learn so much from your reviews, Elliott. You make everything so interesting and entertaining. Even this vehicle is “Sonata” bad car... lol!

[@ElliottAlvis]

Lol thanks mom! I appreciate that.

[@DC-dc6ey]

I’m admittedly triggered by the different fonts on the trunk. 🤨

[@ElliottAlvis]

Sorry for pointing it out! lol

[@Sonny_V]

I'm sure the people of Kansas LOVE that Mizzou decal

[@ElliottAlvis]

Oh yeah, its a big hit around here 😂

[@anthony2816]

Someone needs to come out and say it. With the possible exception of Aston Martin, Hyundai makes some of the nicest looking production cars on the planet.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Thats a bold statement, but I don't disagree!

[@garfixit]

So creative with the sound that alerts other people very nice

[@ElliottAlvis]

It’s pretty unique! It sounds very futuristic

[@itsnotme07]

I was thinking he stole JR's rental car...no, Sonata rental car....but then I was thinking he bought that with the Hellcat money? No, Sonata owner either.... Very nice the dealer let you showcase their Sonata Hybrid...maybe next time, you can showcase a Hybrid, since this is Sonata Hybrid... Ok, I'm done here...lol I agree though, the Sonata lineup has been good for at least the last twenty years. Haven't had the chance to play with a Sonata Hybrid or Sonata Hybrid Blue yet. Rented a Toyota Prius once...enjoyed the little video game it had me play to try to keep it in electric mode. Does this thing give you a score at the end of your ride like the Prius?

[@ElliottAlvis]

It sure does! The Sonata is pretty cool

[@sftny9881]

It would Sonata be bad to have a pina colada and gotta hit a piñata.

[@vesselinmandev1108]

always great introductions

[@ElliottAlvis]

Thank you!

[@a.benitez2266]

Your review is awesome and sonata bad! I have the 2021 hyundai sonata hybrid blue and I love it! I still haven't used all of its features. I'm going on my second month of ownership and I've only put gas in it once and the was when I used only a 1/4 tank.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Wow! That’s incredible. Glad you’re enjoying the car. Thanks for watching!

[@ronsanchez4366]

Highest I've got on my blue was 64mpg doing 60 with summer blend drops alot with winter

[@pablopicaro7649]

2:45 Made in Korea 88%, 2% Japan, 1% US/Canadian. where is the other 9% made LOL, and truck shipped from Korea? GOOD NEWS this seems to have a 6-speed automatic, not a hideous CVT that will cost you $7000 when it breaks.

[@ElliottAlvis]

lol yep!

[@dave11686]

Sweet, love these reviews

[@ElliottAlvis]

Thanks Sock!

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Elliot you should try the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid I was shocked how good it is.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Yes! I am excited to try out the Ioniq

[@trdrav4]

My Lyft ride a few weeks ago was in a 2020 Sonata Hybrid. I actually liked how it rode and the interior was pretty decent, more spacious than a Camry in the back seat at least. But yeah its a catfish...I'm hoping the dealer will let you borrow a Veloster N next. Too bad I'm not in Wichita, I'd love to lend you my manual Elantra Sport.

[@rolandogonzalez1374]

This guy went all out not smiling at those Sonata jokes, lol. I’m comparing this to an Accord Hybrid, which Alex Autos says gets terrible economy after 60mph due to single drive gear. Also, I’ve read that Hyndai has superior lane keep assist, did you feel that?

[@ElliottAlvis]

The Hyundai lane keep assist is really good. It doesn't bounce back and forth as badly as the other manufactures' systems do. I'm glad you appreciated my puns! lol

[@DocMackGarage]

I did not know that you are that conscious on fuel savings lol. It makes a big difference to our 🌎.

[@ElliottAlvis]

It can make a big difference

[@warp5768]

Can u explain more when the engine kicks on and off? Like can i go 20 or 30 mph and at 35 it kicks to gas? Or will it use battery untill u floor it or it dies? Cant seam to find anything on it I am.new to hybrid so maybe a dumb question to some... but useful to me :)

[@ElliottAlvis]

It totally depends on the throttle input and climate control demands. You can make it drive on battery only for quite some time. But at some point the engine will kick on to charge the battery back up if nothing else. But it’s not like the Chevy Volt Where it runs on battery no matter what until the battery dies.

[@warp5768]

@@ElliottAlvis okay great to know. Thanks for the reply.

[@JR_ST]

The first part of this video hit me hard af 🤣

[@Jefango]

I'm interested in the vehicle... what about taller drivers? I'm 6'4 and I'm looking to hopefully go from a Subaru forester to a hybrid due to my commute to work

[@clifbradley]

I love my Palisade. They designed that with a ton of thought. USB ports in the seats, lots of USB ports. The air vents can blow direct or diffused air so if you have an infant, you don't have air blasting directly on them. It drives nice. Has plenty of power with it's NA V6. It's twin the Telluride and the Palisade are in hot demand. Now they are coming out with a version that has screens in the back for the kids. The 10 year power train, 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty and 3 years of maintenance. It's a nice ride. I test drove all the 3 rows, Explorer, Pilot, CX-9, Atlas, QX70, Tahoe...so many. Now I don't need a 3 row and want to get a Mustang GT.

You got that daddy Doug bumper to bumper warranty.
