This car is the best kept secret! Luxury car with longest electric range in its class. I easily get over 30 miles on a charge. The regenerative electric charging is amazing.

Update 11/23: EV battery needed to be replaced, had to wait 6 mos for new battery to come from Korea. Warranty covered all including loaner car. New battery is better than original, now rated 27 miles EV, but I have gone 34 miles on battery alone. Update 3/22: at 60K miles, still have 10 mm on original brake linings. Regen braking is great. EV mode all electric distance has decreased to around 16 miles. Over 60 mpg over past 5 years. Update 7/20...I now have over 43,000 miles on it, and at last service still have plenty of brake lining on the original brakes, due to regenerative braking system. Also still have good tread on original tires, and still get 30 miles EV mode, so I’m still averaging over 75 MPG. (Original review). I have owned my 2016 Sonata PHEV for 3 years, and can report that I still get about 30 miles of full electric driving before the hybrid engine comes on line. I have not seen any decrease in battery range during the past 3 years. Love the high tech safety equipment and the quiet comfortable ride. Depending on the length of typical trips, the fuel economy is incredible. Not unusual to go 1000 miles between gas stations! (model type below is incorrect)

2016 Sonata Plug-in Hybrid. I have it for little over a year and 17,500 miles. Hybrid System failed twice in three weeks. First time car won't even start, had to tow. Now I am afraid to drive it because the possibility of getting stuck. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Lost a week in dealership first time and now it is back there again.

My Sonata PHEV had Hybrid System failed not once, but twice within a span of 1.5 months. It's been hardly 1.5 years since I had bought this car. In both cases the Check Hybrid system warning comes up and Engine looses power. The 1st time it happened, it was in the middle of a busy freeway and was left all of a sudden with no power on the engine. Extremely dangerous and life threatening problem to face with. The 2nd time it happened it was on a 3 lane local Parkway still dangerous as I am left with no power to control the car. The car had to be towed to the dealership in both cases. The dealership took 1 month to fix the car the 1st time, it ran for close to 1.5 months and again the same problem and its back at the dealership. Now they want another month to fix it!!! Highly unreliable car, imagine getting this problem in the middle of nowhere, this car cannot be trusted. It's a Lemon.

Super-quick and quiet. And with 27 miles of electric-only power, I use zero gas during the week. No "range anxiety" on weekends because the hybrid gas engine kicks in automatically after that.
