Only had this vehicle for 2 weeks and purchased it because of its safety reviews and many safety features. I traded from a Jeep Renegade to this and this handles the road better than the Jeep. The issue I'm having is poor customer service from Hyundai and from the dealership. There's a noise that comes on at around 50mph plus my wife says it's from the front left-hand side I'm hearing it from there as well as from the rear. The other issue is with Blue Link, Hyundai does not seem able to assist or maybe they are overwhelmed, also the dealership is unable to assist as they say it's too new and they don't know enough in order to assist. The dealership is Weisner in Conroe Texas, they appear to be very disorganized and not interested in any form of Customer Service.

This is a great car with all the bells and whistles. I have a limited edition and has great technology that is pretty easy to use. The ride is really smooth and the performance is outstanding. And, it looks good while also being stingy on the gas. I'm currently getting over 45mpg and it's still going up. I did have to learn to drive it somewhat assertively to ensure the battery continues to charge and you get the best fuel economy. I started driving it VERY conservatively thinking that would promote higher mpg but it didn't. I've only had the 2 months so I'm still getting used to everything but I love it thus far. I had a 2017 Sonata Hybrid Limited prior to this car and it was so dependable.

Good But Not Exceptional

I've had my 2021 Sonata Hybrid for 4 months now. Styling is a subjective issue so I won't dwell on that but I do prefer the front end treatment on the Hybrid Model over all the other 2021 Sonatas. The interior is beautiful and a wonderful place to spend time. Handling is spectacular BUT I personally would gladly trade off a couple notches of handling prowess for a couple notches of improvement in ride quality. This firm ride is more apparent at low speeds than on the highway. The technology and driver safety equipment is pretty remarkable with a couple caveats. Why have "Manual Gear Selection Capability" at all if the vehicle insists on reverting back to DRIVE within 10 seconds of selecting a specific gear. Not much good for using engine braking when driving in mountainous terrain. The fuel economy is actually pretty outstanding for a vehicle of this size BUT nowhere near as good as what the onboard "Guess-O-Meter" display would have you believe. It is as much as >15% optimistic compared to Real World Calculations. I keep all fuel receipts in a spreadsheet so I KNOW exactly what the vehicle actually delivers. EPA numbers have not yet been met BUT it has all been winter driving with snow tires so far so I'll wait to see how it all pans out over a full year. The Solar Roof is an interesting gimmick but it certainly points out the benefit of having solar cells pointing at/tracking the sun's position in the sky. The onboard display has certainly demonstrated that Spring is indeed on it's way. Yeah!

This is my 2nd Hyundai Hybrid, my last t One being the Hyundai Ionic. Both are great cars. I've owned the 2020 Sonata three weeks now. I'm very happy with this car. It rides well, and is comfortable and fun to drive. I have the Limited, which gives you all the bells and whistles. I'm getting 55 plus with combo city and highway driving. It has all the power I need. Not sure what the Solar panels do, but they are a good conversation item. All in all I really like this car. It is fun, efficient, and reasonably priced for what you get.

This is my 2nd Hyundai Hybrid. I absolutely love this vehicle, it is fun to drive, looks very flashy, and sips gasoline. (53 miles per gal out the gate). I have owned Toyota, mazda, VW, and Ford's in my life. Hyundai takes lots of pride, and you can see it in their vehicles. If your looking for a very comfortable, great looking, great running car, this is the one. Rev Ron Lake
