Updating review - After almost 19K - my thoughts - Engine/Electric Motor/Transmission work flawlessly together. Seamlessly and efficiently changes modes and the 6 speed transmission is far preferable to a CVT even at the cost of a few MPGs. No droning noisiness. Drive in Eco mode most of the time. When sport mode is on the combined torque and HP turn the car into a pretty nice sport sedan. (The suspension is supposed to tighten in Sports mode but I found it to be a very modest tightening.) Speaking of MPG, averaging 44 MPG over the course of 12 months living in NE USA. All batteries lose efficiency in the winter months but make up for it in the summer. Interior is laid out to easily navigate the controls. Seats are excellent with good thigh support. One fail is the Halogen headlights in the SE edition. Low beams do not produce enough light. All cars at this point should have LED headlights standard. (I installed aftermarket LEDs and they work flawlessly.) After one year I think I made the right decision going with the Sonata Hybrid. I expect my next car will be fully electric. And at this point I would choose a Hyundai.

First...The automatic braking on our Sonata limited saved my wife and daughters life. I'm addition they were surrounded by timely and appropriate airbags. I loved driving this car. Switching drive modes gave a varying impressive and new experience. The technology was user friendly and Android auto was flawless. More bang for your buck and classy. Thanks again.

I bought the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid GLS which in Canada is just below the top of the line model. It had everything I wanted leather seats, panoramic sun roof and blind spot monitoring. After one year of driving I have had no problems. I don't have a lead foot and leave it in economy mode and over a year of winter and summer driving have averaged 5 litres/ 100 KM which is about 49 MPG (US). I am getting Toyota Prius like economy with all the comfort safety and convenience of a luxury car. Compared to the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord Hybrids, I like the styling and visibility better. I also found the competition lower to the ground and therefore harder to get in and out of and considerably more expensive. The warranty is also better. Resale value is not as good, but I don't intend to sell it for a long time. After 3 years + still very satisfied. This car along with lots of other Hyundais is subject of a recall (R0180) in Canada involving the engine crankshaft. Probably not good news. There was a problem in the assembling at the factory and not all vehicles will be affected. A software update has been installed to detect the problem. If an engine warning appears, take it to the dealer immediately. The good side is the waranty on the engine has been extended to 200,000 KM or about 125,000 miles. The standard waranty in Canada is 60,000 KM much less than in the USA. I still plan to keep this car along time. Very comfortable, very quiet, and the gas mileage is exceptional ! Now have 62,000km and have no engine problems. The anti-sway bar links in the rear suspension and the front suspension ball joints were all replaced, thankfully under warranty. Quite a bit early for that to happen I would think. However I live in the country and although I am a careful driver I can't avoid all the ruts and pot holes. The anti-sway bar link problem was detected because I complained of a rattling sound at the back going over washboard. The new anti-sway bars corrected that, but I am now getting another interior or exterior rattle under the same conditions. Still like the car very much and intend to keep it a long time. The gas mileage is still exempletory. The rattle turned out to be the driver's seat cushion rubbing on the plastic molding on the left side of the seat. Solved by jamming (out of sight) some grey foam pipe insullation between the two ! Still love the car and plan to keep it until I may switch to pure electric.

Bought new in September’18. About 106,000k and still a pleasure. Does everything you need it to do for a midsize sedan and efficiently too.

I have owned this car since brand new. I bought this in April 2019. It was sitting at the dealer for a whole so I got a good deal. I have kept it the maintenance and I always service at my local Hyundai dealership. I do frequent oil changes on this car and everything is smooth and I still get almost 40mpg, even now. I sometime do my own oil changes and do a engine oil flush and then add brand new high quality synthetic engine oil. And I also add fuel conditioner (fuel injector cleaner) to keep things clean with fuel system and hopefully back of the valves which is very hard in a direct fuel injected engine. I am hoping to keep this car for a long time.
