2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)
10 of 13 people found this review helpful
Went from a Genesis Coupe to the 2016 Sonata Hybrid SE. The Sonata has a lot of nice features and it is very quiet, we call it the golf cart since in EV mode its really quiet. Measuring gas mileage the old fashioned way; miles vs gallons pumped, my first tank gave me mixed driving 42.2 MPG. My mixed driving is back roads, towns and I-95 traffic moving at just under NASCAR speeds with AC all the way. Daily drives using the computer, I have seen everything from 36 - 89 MPG at shut off. The car shifts smooth and you may not know if you are on battery or gas unless you look at your gauges. The car has three driving modes; eco, regular, sport and you can feel real differences in all of them. On another note this car gets the same gas mileage as my motorcycle ....

I thought this would be a good choice for many reasons. The gas mileage and for the environment. Plus I like Hyundai cars as I’ve owned an Elantra that lasted forever and they have a great warranty, but the hybrid to me is scary. First there is no room for a spare tire which makes me feel uneasy and the battery doesn’t charge while sitting in traffic so I had an issue with that not switching over to gas at the time. The car is so quiet you don’t even know if it’s on half the time. The check engine light keeps going on but they can’t figure out why. So I’m done with the hybrid of any kind. I still like Hyundai but no hybrids for me.

The 2016 Sonata hybrid is a great car; comfortable ride, good performance, handling, great safety features...they retrofitted Android Auto. It's been a great vehicle so far...until now. This year, hybrid system has conked out twice...car just dies and you have to pull over. First time, wife was close to dealer. Second time I pulled over, shut off engine, then started. Both gas and hybrid engines started but check engine light is on. Dealer has it; they have been great about it, giving us free loaners each time...but they need to find and fix cause; we are not confident in the hybrid reliability now.

Bought bare bones SE Sonata hybrid because a Limited was not available due to the excellent year end rebate. Nice quiet ride. Impressed with MPG which ranges from 40 to 50 mpg. Seems to get best mileage in city driving if you keep heavy acceleration to a minimum and coax the drive into EV mode. Would not have purchased a hybrid without the huge rebate but glad I did. Miss having the options I would have selected had they been available. Seems to be an excellent value.

This is my second Sonata, and my first Hybrid. Got a very good deal on this car, in that I bought it from inventory as their last '16 Hybrid left on the lot. Really love this car. Expected to get 41 MPG typically, but getting closer to 44-50 in my suburban/freeway driving. Less on cold days (as low at 38 MPG) with the heater running. Better acceleration than I expected. Car doesn't know its a Hybrid apparently. Does anyone else tie the electric and gas engines together harmoniously other than Hyundai? Seems like a no brainer. Much smoother ride than my 2011 GLS. The shifting between electric and gas mode is seamless. That was a "wow". Really like the blue tooth voice dialing system. Works better than my wife's system. People have complained about the Blue Link navigation, but I have gotten used to it. Has pluses and minuses next to my wife's Honda Accord's built-in navigation system. My only complaint is that the battery went bad prematurely, but that might be expected when you buy a '16 at the beginning of the '17 model year. Would have been nice had it come with a spare tire. Overall though, much more than I expected for the price.
