Got the 2021 Hyundai Sonata Limited. This car is loaded with technology. All the bells and whistles. Like driving a Lexus with all the options at a much lower cost. Beautiful styling inside and out. Drives great!

2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 8A)

This is my fourth Sonata. They keep adding more and more features as standard equipment. Although the SE is the cheapest model, for a few dollars more the SEL adds more electronics, lane avoidance/collision avoidance and nicer interior and exterior add ons. Comfortable interior seating and power drivers side also part of the package. Special wheels and tires give it a sharp look. I paid extra for red paint but I think the car stands out in red or black. Three years free maintenance now included in the price. Very good rebates in effect now and the warranty is second to none. Although this car is a "sister" to the Kia K5, Kia offers no significant rebates.

Like others have reported. Multiple electronic faults. The car dangerously shuts off while driving & the front collision breaking sytem randomly tries to stop the car. I’ve owned the car 4 months. All 4 payments have been made while the car sits in service. The service department has no idea what’s happening. I am in the final stages of a lemon law buy back.

UPDATE AS OF 7/3/21: My car has now been in the shop over 2 weeks. We have contacted Serra Hyundai. The manager, initials J.P., said we would have a resolution by 6/30. We haven't heard from him. We were also told that after putting a claim in through Hyundai, we will receive a call within 10 days. No call. After 2 weeks in the shop, we were called to come pick up the car. It messed up when we started to leave as soon as it was started up. It is STILL in the shop. At this point, it has been in the shop longer than out of the shop. So, after buying the car on 6/3, I drove it for 12 days before breaking down. Please don't waste your time buying from this dealership. If you have a problem with your car, they will NOT help you. UPDATE: After taking the car to my local dealership, the code that is being found that goes with these problems, was given PRIOR to me buying the car. It was cleared out the day I bought it. Bought a brand new 2021 sonata limited. Within 2 weeks, it has messed up 5 times! The dashboard lights up like Christmas morning with warning lights. Of course the dealership can't get it to replicate it when I bring it in. Caught it on my phone camera today. I don't even have the car titled and it's already giving me issues. Of course the dealership I bought from is no help. Don't bother with this car. Yes, it has a good warranty. Apparently I will be using it!!!!! Ridiculous!!!

Worst experiece ever had with a new car

I was so excited to drive home the beautiful Sonata Limited a few months ago. A week and less than 1000 miles into my experience, the car's dash began to display multiple errors regarding driver features (lane departure, collision avoidance, tire pressure), all in sequence. Sometimes, the speedometer would fluctuate wildly, and even turn off, steering would get light (or very hard). I even had occasional sudden breaking while backing out (for no reason as there was no other cross traffic). I turns out wiring harness issues where causing severe electrical malfunctions that made the car "light up light a Christmas tree" to coin the phrase of Hyundai tech service. I was lucky not to have been in a major accident while driving given the driver malfunctions. The dealer took 5 weeks to solve, spent over 300 miles of testing, hours of idling while troubleshooting. Now I got my "new" car back that been dismantled and put back together twice, has oils stains on seats that I cannot remove and am nervous the repair may be temporary since service department "thinks" found the faulty electrical issues. My new car feels like a clunker now (and forget about the new car smell). Customer service was contacted, they logged my claim but never got back to me as promised by the rep; 3 weeks later I am still waiting. A nice car, nice features does not compensate for poor initial quality and bad customer service. I understand issues pop up with all cars, but a manufacturer stands out in how they treat their customers and provide peace of mind. In this case, Hyundai does not stand out. This car should never have left the quality control department. There's a reason why Toyota and Honda do not have to con customers with lengthy warranties.

I have been looking at several new vehicles the last 3 months. We have owned dozens of cars over the years and when you can be somewhat picky, it can make the decision process a bit daunting. After looking at many many vehicle's, the Sonata Limited seem to fit the bill.

I own a 2021 Sonata SEL, white with the panoramic roof. There is no question about the appearance of this car. I get compliments about it all the time. The interior is nice and well thought out. But, I didn't buy this car just to look good I needed a reliable car that I could count on. I'm sorry to say that reliable hasn't happened for me. Currently it has 17, 000 miles on it and a huge list of problems. Intermittent starting problems, front defogger doesn't work, steering wheel worm gear bad, lights on control panel fade in and out, display screen goes black, the remote lock doesn't work it says I have an open door and I don't, bluelink doesn't work etc. All these are covered under warranty but what good is a warranty if you have to wait a month and a half to get an appointment for service? There are 3 dealerships in my area and they are all like that. I can't even get an oil change without waiting over a month. Meanwhile I can't count how many times I have had to try for over an hour to get it to start. Here's the icing on the cake! When I do take it in next week the service advisor told me it may be there for "awhile" and they don't have loaner cars. So I will be taking public transit while my car is in the shop for who knows how long. I am beyond frustrated and regret buying this car. On the bright side it does look good while it's breaking down.
