Economy. Handling. Ride. The Trifecta!

No more trying to decide if you can afford the gas to go somewhere. With a full size feel, the Sonata hybrid will get you around 42 MPG and you'll be ready to go anywhere.

Mileage not as advertised

I am the original owner of a 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited model. In 25,000 miles of gentle driving on eco mode I have not been able to get over 38 mpg ever. The car says 38 mpg but when I actually do the math with my gas receipt it is 1 1/2 to 2mpg less than what the car measures. I am very disappointed, this is my first and definitely last Hyundai car. I hate liars! Update: After an oil change in January of 2021, my mileage briefly went up to 44mpg. This lasted about two tanks of gas. We are back ever since to 38mpg max. I asked the dealership what they did during that oil change and they claimed they didn’t do anything to help the mileage. I’m just accepting that this car can’t do what Hyundai says it should be able to do.

We have only owned this car for a few weeks but this is a great car for a family their is room for at least 5 and the back seat has leg room for taller people as well as giving the ones in front leg room. The gas mileage is great and the comfort on this car is nice.

This is a first time I had to bring a month old car to the dealership. Initial check says it's battery problem. It takes FOREVER to fix a problem. I made mistake buying Hyundai. Don't make the same mistake
