Unexpected performance in a nicely styled package

IThis is my first Hyundai and I am blown away. I've owned Hondas, Fords and Volvos. I've been familiar with the brand since they were introduced in the U.S. The promise of cheap transportation was what gave them a foothold in the market. Well, they kept improving their product and offering models with the latest technology and with designs that are fresh. I recently purchased the '22 Sonata N Line and I am thoroughly impressed. The performance this car delivers is mind blowing. 290 hp and the torque you'd expect from a truck. The fit and finish of the materials inside is excellent. But, it's the value of the complete package that I found impressive. You get and awful lot for your money. 19' wheels, panoramic sunroof, great seats with bolsters that a NASCAR drive would appreciate. This is a gorgeous car. I was looking at different brands and models and when I saw the '22 Sonata and read about the N Line package, I quickly decided to go out and get it. We literally purchased the only one available in NH at the time. And the color, Portofino Gray, is very classy. Immediately after the purchase we go for a longer drive than the test drive. It just got better and better. The Pirelli P Zero tires are fantastic. The power when in Sport mode is amazing. In Sport +, which disables the traction control, you will get some wheel spin if you get heavy on the pedal. The steering tightens up and the suspension stiffens. It becomes an entirely different car. It just seems to have endless power and traction. I still can't believe I am this impressed with a Hyundai Sonata. The only downside of the purchase is that it it's my wife's car. I don't get to drive it every day... I'm thinking about getting one for myself now...

2022 Sonata SEL 2.5L

This Sonata SEL is what ever you want it to be, it's classy, sporty, economical, comfortable seats (ignore professional reviewers). I've had this Sonata for over 10 months and driven it Michigan Upper Peninsula and to the southern Gulf of Mexico twice and averaged 38 to 42 miles per gallon on highway, I now have 14,000 miles on it now. Sonata is easy to drive and don't get tired driving it. Nice cruiser! If you want one don't settle for "SE" a little bit more $, get the "SEL". I would avoid the 1.6 Liter Turbo Engine because of reliability later in vehicle life and not much difference in Power to the 2.5 liter 4 (MPI/GDI) (UPDATE 7-23-24) 41,000 miles so far, NO Problems or Issues. Changing oil/filter every 5,000 miles

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.

2022 Hyundai Sonata SEL Rocks It (Mostly) !

Sharp looks, but it's a love/hate thing with the catfish grill. I particularly like it. Sharp looking car with a lot of extras, given the price. Roomy. I have found the 27-City and 37-Highway to be spot on accurate. Noting, if I am driving 60-65 or so and not 75-80.... My, my. Looking at 45 mpg in that scenario. True Stop/Go the mpg is about 22-28. Good size trunk, nothing spectacular. I will say it would be nice to have a little bit more "kick" when I step on the accelerator. The Sonata-SEL is not slow, but it's most certainly not a Speed Demon by any means.
