Absolutely Amazing Car for the money..
I have a black limited with black leather, I researched every brand, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Kia, Lexus, Infinity, Mazda etc. This car has more tech than I could ever dream of for the price I paid. I actually said to dealers of high end luxury cars "Ok, so what can your $50, 60, 80, 100k car do that is so amazing?" I would put this car up against any luxury car and for the price and fuel mileage, and warranty, I wouldn't take anything else. (now it is SLOW compared to a V8 Mercedes or BMW, but that car is NOT going to get 45-51 MPG. I love it, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Battery goes into deep sleep
I loved this car at first. We parked at the airport for long term and by the fifth day I could no longer communicate using Bluelink. I contacted Hyundai. They told me that Bluelink was suspended because the battery went into a deep sleep automatically after sitting for a few days. I was told by Hyundai support that I would need to have it serviced each time it sits for a few days. This is happening to other owners of the same car. For us, when we arrived back at the airport, two weeks, our key fobs would not work. The car was dead. We had to manually unlock it which required disassembling the door handle. Tried to start it, no response. The battery had to be jumped. Hyundai is refusing to discuss this with me and offer a fix. On a Facebook forum, other new owners are having the same issue and are in the process of arbitration with the lemon law process in their state, as Hyundai has admitted that they designed it that way. For another owner on the forum their battery could not be jump started and they had to get car towed to dealer. My car only has 6000 miles and it is broken, other new owners are experiencing the same according to the Facebook forum. This is with a solar roof which should keep a trickle charge to keep battery from going into deep sleep.

Great to drive fantastic fuel mileage
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.

Stylish and Luxurious
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.

fiberboard panels under car come loose twice
This is our 5th hyundai and we are happy with the fuel mileage however we were entering a local business and the underside of the vehicle scraped the ground. as we were leaving we could hear something rubbing on the ground, it turns out that they underside of this vehicle has several fiberboard panels held on by cheap clips and if you rub on a speedbump or driveway they can pull loose (common problem per dealer service department. hyundai will not cover these on warranty and replacement cost for one is approximately $550.00. we have never had a problem like this on our 2013 sonata hybrid. these panels will not last and will need replacing. who puts a fiberboard on the bottom of a car. dealers do not have these panels in stock and when they rub on the ground could possibly cause a fire.

By far best in show
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

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
This is a very good car. One odd detail is that the basic Blue version has 16" wheels and the SEL and Limited have 17" wheels. Other than more option athe specs and the same...... except the fuel econoy is better on the 16" wheel version. I can't figure out why????
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!

Delicate Front Bumper Structure
While otherwise a good car the facia attached adjacent to underneath the front bumper structure is prone to detachment during normal driving. When it partially detaches the car makes a loud scraping noise that makes it difficult to drive. I do not off road or otherwise drive abnormally and at less than 7,000 miles this part detached. I have never had that happen to any car I have driven in the past including Audis, Infiniti and a Toyota Supra (which I did drive somewhat aggressively as its a sports car). The dealer of course tries to blame me yet has no answer when I say it has never happened before. This is a weakness in the design of the Sonata Hybrid and will cost you up to $800 to repair if it happens to you. They refuse to cover it under warranty. The car is otherwise great but I can only give it two stars due to this problem. I cannot recommend the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.

Best in class
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.

Growing on me
I've had this car over a year now, and my review is a little more favorable than my first one. The gas mileage is still very good for this size car, I average 51mpg around town. The ride is very comfortable with plenty of legroom in the front and back. The A/C blows ice cold. I use the android auto feature and it works very well. I get a lot of compliments on the looks of the car. There are a few downsides still, but I have managed to adjust to them. First, if you park the car on even the slightest slant, the emergency brake will automatically be applied as soon as you shut the car off or put it in park, which means you have to fasten your seat belt even if you are just moving it a few feet away, such as in the garage. Second, the transmission doesn't always shift so smoothly. Third, sometimes the blind spot monitor doesn't always light up when a car is in your blind spot, so make sure you look anyways. Overall, I am very happy with this car and plan on keeping it a while.
Why the extra 1 mpg for the base SE ?
The base SE model is the only one with the "Off/On" intermittent engine cutoff. Presumably Hyundai put that option on there so they could claim the extra 1 mpg for CAFE goals.

Seriously Sporty
New body style for 2020 makes this car stand out in a crowd. Add 47mpg this is a great choice for the budget conscious buyer who doesn’t want to compromise looks. Very happy with our purchase

It has it all
Just drove this Sonata Hybrid for two days in both city and highway and it was a great ride! I have the Limited version with all the technology and that puts driving in another higher class. When I had to pass she had lots of acceleration she can get up and go! Plus Great MPG I got 48 MPG.The style both inside and out is eye catching and classy! It has been a long time since I walked away from a car and turned around to admire i😁

Great gas mileage! Cute car with all the bells and whistles.
Sporty and Great Gas Milage!
Had the car for 5 months now and it gets compliments! Lots of tech integration. Using adaptive cruise control is awesome in LA traffic… so convenient and comfortable. Get the Limited. It’s worth the bells and whistles. I recommended smart mode when driving as well. Keeps it green when needed but doesn’t hold back when accelerating. Lots of features and really nice ride.

Excellent gas mileage
I have had my 2022 Sonata Limited Hybrid for almost 2 years. I love the car, I got 54 mpg on the last tankful, actual mileage (the computer said I got 59 but it is always off 4 -5 mpg), So many safety features included which are extra cost on most other even luxury vehicles. It drives nice, good handling. I get 44-47 in cold weather (IL) but 51-55 the rest of the time. The solar panel on the top really improves gas mileage. With a full charge I get 65-85 mpg on short trips of 15 miles or less. The generator also works while you are driving the car which most vehicles do not have. Very well made.

MPG
After 2 months of driving hybrid mileage at best was only about 32 to 35 MPG. It is rated at 50 MPG?

I get 50 mpg and it drives fine with good pickup. I use the eco setting and smart on country roads. Car has been reliable and the tech works well. I still recommend this car. Hyundai has done an excellent job with this sedan. For my needs it has plenty of room with a good size trunk. Easy to get in and out. Don’t need a boring SUV. UPDATE: Problematic vehicle.

Sweet
I have always had the Hyundai sonata hybrid limited. I could not afford the brand new limited, but it doesn't matter because the SEL has the Bose surround system and all of the amenities. The coolest thing is that it can try to drive and stay between the lines. It's not the greatest but good enough for me if I have to grab something!
What's up with the horrible depreciation?
Purchased this vehicle in Sept. '21 because of a need for better mileage, and the '22 Sonata Hybrid was perfect for that. It has a sporty look, of course, which was not a huge factor for me but others seemed to appreciate. The front air dam sits low and it too easily scrapes bottom when driving uneven surfaces or pulling up to even moderate-height curbs. I purchased the Limited version, which includes the leather seating and all the bells and whistles one would expect. The ride itself is decent. It has a little bit of pickup when you need it, but it is not a "performance" vehicle by any stretch of the imagination. I bought it at a time when supplies were tight, and there was no negotiation on the price - not with any vehicles of any make. What came as a huge shock was when I was considering trading it in on a new vehicle. After 2 years, the vehicle has lost about 40% in value according to the dealer and the usual websites one turns to when researching such things. Yes, I put about 30k miles on it in that time, but really - a 40% drop in value? Other than the miles there is no reason I could fathom that would justify such a rapid fall; and I would warn shoppers to consider this when looking at a Hyundai. They may seem economical up-front, but unless you plan on driving one until it's ready for the scrapyard, it may cost you if you want to upgrade at some point before then.

Hybrids are for younger people
Hybrids or EV's are for younger people not 80 year olds like myself. The solar roof does away with the moon roof. Growing up with mechanical cars makes electric vehicles hard to get used to. A lot of learning but not at this age. The instrument panel gave so much information it was confusing. The test drive was useless, my car feels all the bumps in the road but where you drive the new cars the roads are so smooth even my cay felt good.
Quiet and great on gas!!
Got the SEL trim and enjoy it beyond words. It has pep in its step and the Bose sound system is awesomely awesome.
