Used 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Limited w/Blue Pearl Interior 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A) Consumer Reviews

Really Surprised

I owned the 2013 Sonata Hybrid Limited. It had great pick up and handling with good gas mileage. It had just reached the 36,000 mile mark and I usually buy a new car by this point but, I was so happy with the 2013 that I didn't see any reason to change. Just for fun I agreed to drive the 2016 Sonata Hybrid Limited. I was really surprised at how many upgrades Hyundai had made with this model. Beautiful interior and even passenger side electric seats that heat and cool were added. I don't think the pick up is as good as 2013 but... improved gas mileage, heated steering wheel and multiple warning devices make this car amazing. A little light came on to tell me the pavement was at freezing temperatures. I lowered my speed. Another light came on to remind me to take my foot off of the accelerator. The navi system tells you what the speed limit is for the street you are on. Ok, as much as I loved the 2013, this 2016 is even better with a panoramic roof. It feels like luxury without the price tag. You will be really surprised when you drive this car. We are into August of 2017 and the car has about 15,000 miles. I still love this car and everyone who gets in is surprised at how roomy it is. The trunk is huge and with gas prices going up again it keeps becoming a better and better value.

Great car great gas mileage great warranty

Great gas mileage, 89,000 miles no problems. Plenty of power. Lifetime hybrid battery.

Best car I've owned in 50 years

What's left to say? My first rattle trap of a car was a '58 Chevy. Since then I've owned Ford, GM, Dodge/Ram, Triumph (talk about love/hate!), BMW/Mini, Mazda, Toyota, Nissan, and Lexus. The mid-1990s Lexus LS400 was a very good car that was at the leading edge of the industry in many ways. It does not compare to the Hyundai. The Sonata is a far cry from being at the leading edge of automotive technology but Hyundai has gotten everything right. It is the best car I've owned. Period. I wouldn't be selling it if I wasn't moving out of the US. I can't take it with me. That's OK though. I'll buy another when I get settled.

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.
