Ive had my 2021 Sonata for 18 months and ive had so many issues with it and everytime i take it for an oil change and mention the problems im having with my car, they never fix or address the issues!! My car had a major chip in the paint, you can clearly tell it chipped off and not hit with another object, but it seems to not be an issue to them. The silver part on my steering wheel is peeling off, along with the buttons that have park reverse and drive. I feel like this car was made out of cheap aluminum foil
Hyundai made me a believer

For years I was a dedicated Honda driver but after driving the Honda Sonata it changed my mind. The ride is smoother quieter and more comfortable. The Sonata is yards above the Accord. The only thing that the Accord has that I miss is the passenger side camera display but I gladly gave that up for everything that the Sonata offers.

This car has a smooth ride and is good on gas. It's also loaded with other nifty features that are "must have " items for the average person who's always on the go.

I purchased this 21 sonata on January 1st 2021 and it was not even 6 months that I had the vehicle and they need to put a new motor in it. Was driving and got a check engine light that would not go away. I took it to the shop 2 weeks ago. They can keep that car period 😡😡😡 if they think I’m going to pay for a car that already need a new motor and it’s not even 6 months old.

This is my 3rd and last new Sonata. They have gone consistently downhill over time. This car is not user friendly. If you like to turn on your car, put it in gear and go, this is not the car for you. You have to spend time disengaging stupid things before you can even start out. First off, it automatically sets the parking brake almost every time you park--even on level land, so you have to disengage that before you go. Then there is the annoying engine start/stop mechanism that you have to disengage before you start out. Then it is a toss up as to whether the push-button gear shift mechanism will work. You often have to push the gear you want two or three times before it will engage. Then there are the computer screens that randomly flip from the mode you have them set on to some other mode. The list goes on and on.

Outstanding. This is one Outstanding car. I had a 2019 Sonata ltd sedan. Honestly no comparison. The 2021 is an excetion car. Controls organized and set at finger tip reach. Seats are totally comfortable with adjustable settings to please you on any trip long or short. Gas mileage is superior and unrivaled by othrr cars in and above its pricing. Very pleased. I need to mention the ride so quiet and smooth. I was overly disappointed with my 2019 for a conversation was difficult but not in my 2021. Dollar for dollar my satisfaction is off the scale. Yrust me you won't be difficult.

Worst car I have owned

2021 Hyundai Sonata N Line 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 8AM)
3 of 7 people found this review helpful
I have owned a 2021 Sonata N-line for about 10 month. The car has a fairly good design and features, but the build quality is extremely horrible, as well as the material quality. Huge safety concerns and reliability concerns, I am more nervous driving this car than driving my old Grand AM that with over 350K on it. The driver seat was faulty in a few months, had it replaced. The lumbar support activates by itself when I was driving. Very very scary, like a ghost was pushing you while you were driving. Reminds me of the earthquake I had experienced, exactly the same feeling. Only if you has experienced in a earthquake understand how scary that is, when sitting on a office chair, the chair moves unpredictably, and carrying you with it. In winter, the transmission was slow on my first couple of brakes, when I hit the brake to a stop, the rev drops below 500rpm, and the car shakes really bad, then the clutch releases when the engine nearly comes to a stall, this happened everyday in winter. Engine lights was on in 10 months. I had experienced twice when accelerating, there was a feeling of losing power all of a sudden for a few seconds. Other than these critical issues, there are also lots of fit issues from the interior to the exterior. squeaking noise on the trunk mechanism when the weather is cold. High pitch whistling noise from passenger side cruising at over 120 km/h with recirculation on due to either HVAC or seal issue, I had to give up AC on highway driving in Summer. Hyundai Dealer refuse to diagnose this issue because I am not suppose to drive over the speed limit which is about 100km/h in Canada, so, lesson learned, Hyundai is designed for 100km/h, any issues related to speed over that, not covered by their warranty. There are more to say, but I am tired. lots of fits issues, to me looked like the entire body frame may get weld out of tolerance, the left and right side are definitely not symmetrical.

I drove this model for about 1700 miles across very different places in California, a rental. It surely compares well against western cars, but they do not set the standards, even the luxury ones. My own car is a Kia 2019, it has very similar mileage, same comfort but much better technology. This sonata model safety features is a like a nagging girlfriend or mom rushing to start moving when the car ahead start moving when the stop lights turn green, which is not really the safest and best choice. It won't stop "suggesting" to stop to relax for a coffee break after driving like a hundred miles, which would not relax me at all as the night falls or the day just passes by, things to do, while I would just be sitting drinking coffee in some place I never cared to stop. Have no idea why that'd be relaxing. Lazy people may well like that, which there are plenty of. That's all the safety features I noticed in the car. My Kia doesn't nagg. Instead, it has very useful side lights in the mirrors warning about incoming vehicles in the blind spots. Sonata was unable to connect to my iPod, I had to connect my iPod a radio interfering device, which obviously did not work in most places. A lot of fun screwed. My Kia, and former Honda cars, do connect well to devices. It would've been a nightmare to buy this brand new car of moderate price just to get a naggy junk that does not do what I want or would like to get, instead just naggs on and on.

This car (Sonata N Line) delivers the power and precision that I was looking for in a sports sedan. The sound of the engine and the crispness of the steering is extremely compelling and fun. This car is so very much worth the money and the attention it should get.

I had to get a replacement car right away when my 2006 Camry blew a head gasket. The repair would have equaled the value of the car. After a week of almost frantic looking I did the unthinkable and looked at the Enterprise Care sales lot and found this bright red 2021 Sonata Hybrid I had been keeping the Camry expecting to buy a hybrid in another 1-2 years. Despite the seller's market. I was able to get this thru Enterprise at a very reasonable price and their processing fee of $399 with a 12 month/12,000 mile full warranty made the new car dealers look like pirates! Only time will tell if I got a great deal, but for now I am very happy!

Seems to be a typical Hyundai (I've owned several and I loved them until now), well built, incredible fuel milage, but poor technology. I'm not sure who decided "Car play" was a good idea (cell phone reception never fails, right?) and the "Smart Cruise Control" is probably the worst system I have ever had the misfortune to have on an automobile. Bends on bridges on country roads and the car slams on the brakes because it thinks the railings are stopped vehicles. If someone straddles the lines in front of you even when there is plenty of room, the car looses it mind. Beeping, braking, messages flashing all over the dash board. Nothing like distracting you with unnecessary warnings during the time you should be paying the most attention. I have been driving for over 40 years, including over a million accident free commercial miles. The safety features in this car are designed for poor drivers, and I suppose for them it works well enough but for anyone who enjoys driving, those same features are a disaster. Pleas, please, please set things up so this junk can be turned off.

The new Sonata is really exceptional, I like the exterior styling, the driver assistance suites, the sharp infotainment screen, the heated and vented seats, and the 360 camera. Everything is nice except for the seats are really stiff!! I took an 8 hour road trip, and man, my butt HURTS! Also, the seat leather surface feels not as good as some other same level sedans. Really hope Hyundai improve this. But overall, it's great for the money.

Very pleased with my purchase, however, I am a bit biased having been a fan of Hyundai for a long while, (having owned 6 other Hyundai's over the last couple decades). Smooth ride, power enough for any driving need, great technologies, great safety features.

I recently upgraded to a 2025 Sonata from my 2021, because my experience with my 2021 was (mostly) very positive. There is way more good with the Sonata than there is with the bad, including: an elegant interior with premium amenities, great pickup/responsiveness, slick handling, a gorgeous exterior, surprisingly good fuel economy, and a quiet ride. And the best part? The Hyundai dealership experiences are all wonderful, with great customer service and a desire to help customers. So, why not give this vehicle 5-stars? Well, that was a very difficult decision, but it ultimately came down to two things: comfort and interior build quality. As someone who is over 6 feet tall, the 2021 Sonata was not the most accommodating in the driver's seat. For passengers, sure, but the angle of the infotainment system propped my leg towards the center enough to not be as ergonomic as it could have been. Additionally, the seats are not as plush as competitors or even other Hyundai vehicles. However, worse than that was the interior build quality: things just wore out more quickly than they should have. Over time, more and more components got loose/creaky, and certain components began rattling or popping out from their placements. The steering wheel was also victim to creaking/crackling over time. Ultimately, it was these rattles that led me to upgrade my car. However, despite these cons, I had no regrets in purchasing my Hyundai Sonata. It was a truly wonderful experience and kept me loyal to the Hyundai brand for my next vehicle.
