I feel like they did the "sporty" sedan design better than Toyota in a lot of ways. But that interior truly looks premium. Not to mention it's not a cvt, beautiful.
k flores nah lmao the Toyota wins with the more sporty looking Xse Camry with the two tone exterior white and black and red leather interior also with quad tip exhaust
Not to mention the 301 horse power the camry has
@@zakm4012 this gets 2 tone too
@@zakm4012 That Toyota is hideous 😵🤮, looks like a rice-mobile
Jared Shelton from a kia krap owner 🤔
I've come to the realization that Kia and Hyundai are the best values in motoring. We've had 2 Kias with zero problems.
Had?
@@niyazmather still have.
Nothing like Toyota and Honds brother .
I'm driving a 2019 Kona (Limited) and LOVE IT!!!
I borrowed my sister's elantra while my bimmer was in the repair shop. I was so fucking shocked when I noticed the mileage on that elantra was 230k, and still going strong lmao.
that is an impressive interior
Pretty standard today, they are all using this type of design on their vehicles and Hyundai is following suit. IMO they are also late to the game as compact sedans have fallen out of favor years ago, as crossovers and hatchbacks just offer much more useful trunks.
@@BoopSnoot Standard?? No that's not standard, it's well above standard & it's not a compact sedan. It's a large sedan. Know ur facts before you put something down. Btw....the trunk in the Sonata is quite large.
@@jameshughes6049 I was referring to the interior, watch car show videos, its the new generic standard. Its not a large sedan. A 201" long 78" wide 2020 Dodge Charger 6.4 liter is a large sedan, this is about the size of a Legacy, Optima, or Altima with a little 1.6L engine. You seem to be confused.
@@BoopSnoot dodge charger is a full sized sedan. Sonata is a large sedan. Elantra is a compact sedan.
@@jameshughes6049 There's only three sizes of sedans, full (large), compact (smaller), and subcompact (smallest). Elantra is the subcompact, Sonata is the compact (like I originally said), as its certainly not a full (or large) size sedan.
My car has a tuning knob...I NEVER use it. I listen to Spotify rather than the radio. When I used to listen to the radio/Sirius I used the presets. When I want to skip or go back on Spotify, I used the steering wheel controls. Who is using the tuning knob? One thing I think car reviewers forget that people who actual buy and drive these cars will rarely be going into all the settings menus...most features are set it and forget it.
Bingo. Set your stations and switch between your favorite 4-5. No need to tune. Seek works better anyways in a new area
'tuning' knobs in modern cars are not analogue pots but rather rotary encoders which are dynamically assigned to control various UX elements. It makes scrolling very easy, just to name one example. That's why it's good to have one even if you don't necessarily tune the radio.
I'd just use voice recognition. It works pretty well in Hyundai's
This interior made me all the sudden consider a Hyundai and I'm one of those Lexus, MB, BMW, Audio grade buyers. For what you're getting here for around 35k brand new, is insane. The interior looks like BMW, very similar, half the price.
Excellent review, I'm really happy the N-Line story will be fully revealed soon (hearing 12/9 at 12am EST ) . I also want to hear the Plug-in Hybrid story , seems like that also will be a great option and can get away from the Pano sunroof and put solar panels on the top instead. I almost never use my sun/moon roof in any car. I would prefer the extra rigidity , less to break aspect and headroom not to mention the solar panels are just cool and another first.
I'm glad I think I can be very happy with the 1.6T Limited due to the low rpm torque trigger and the transmission seems sweet, The Hybrid offers excellent MPG/range and the electric makes it move too similar to the limited maybe even better in some situations. The Theta III 2.5T seems lovely hard to argue with 290/310 , I would want to drive it and the Hybrid and the Limited before I make a decision. This will likely be the car I replace my current 3.3 V6 Sonata with.
I'm conflicted about the exterior, I have to see it up close and in person. They did knock the interior out of the park though.
I'm with you on the shifter, the buttons are stupid. What's wrong with the good old shifters.
Love the wheels on the N-line concept. Bonus points for not painting them gloss black.
The red Chucks are back!
Excellent work as always, M.
I agree. The front end is a little weird looking but everything else looks great.
Hyundai breaks are amazing! I have been driving Hyundai since 2013 and by far they have the best breaks in the market! I am not sure what else do you want the car do? To put your through the windshield?! 😂 Great video as always.
I like the new Kia Optima more but this is beautiful as well.
New Optima released in SouthKorea this week. You wil be surprised if look at new Optima 2020.
@@carrotpig1977 I'm going to wait and see if a gt version comes out
@@carrotpig1977 you mean 2021 Kia Optima
The new optima (K5) doesn't have as many features and is lower material quality
@@justinnegron4843 False
Nice interior!👍
Bravo Hyundai!!! Many of us still want cars!! N Line will be cool, I like that they will be doing the dual injection system. We currently have a 2015 Elantra Limited but will be looking to up grade in a year or two.
“I can’t say it’s stellar but it’s better than it was” 😂😂😂 great way to reference the cars heritage!
another take (IMO) an affordable Audi without the maintenance
I parallel park all the time where I live and the button system is the same thing. I’m glad at got this car
100% agree with you Motoman sedans are still alive.. i Don't agree that manufacturers should change USB to USB-C as 90% of market devices use regular old USB except for some phone and products.. I'm actually glad they kept it.. most phone charger cable even comes that way
I'd love to know what trim level that sonata was that had the diamond stitched shoulder Bolstering. Because I had just purchased a 2020 Hyundai sonata limited and it does not have that type of stitching and wish it did.
Can't say for certain but one thing to keep in mind: The cars we drive are generally early builds or pre-production units so in some rare cases there may be slight differences between what you see in our episodes the car on dealer lots. A recent example: The Mazda 3 in our episodes has satin finish buttons on the dash for HVAC controls. The production cars do not.
Just traded my 2019 Kona Ironman (yes I actually bought a Kona Ironman)
for a new 2020 Sonata Limited. My other car is a 2020 Genesis G90 5.0
HTRAC and this Sonata is closer to the $80,000 G90 than you might think.
Love them both. Of course I loved the Kona Ironman UNTIL the novelty
wore off and keeping the matte gray paint clean became a real pain.
Anyway am very happy with the Sonata Limited and I would highly
recommend it. Mine is exactly the same model as is shown in the video except different color exterior - Stormy
Seas (Blue) and Camel Leather.
First time viewing of this channel and pleasantly surprised, great commentary , fantasticly informative . One of the best on the net
Nice color scheme in that interior 👍
Domestic brands have dropped the sedans but the Asians are all in. Yes sedan sales are well down but they still sell hundreds of thousands of them so it’s far from dead . Looking forward to the 2021 Kia Optima.
@motoman- love the reviews and engineering detail! Also, the kids cheering during options game is always a hit 🙌🏾
:)
Who listens to the radio if they have the infotainment package..?
You'll gain more viewers with these "regular" car reviews.
Who says SUVs aren't regular?
Open to it but the numbers to back up that claim. As you know, I am a massive Dave Ramsey guy and love good value. Also huge on tech - especially when it makes its way to affordable cars. Here's an example: th-cam.com/video/SXK3I9PPuH4/w-d-xo.html . . . But the episodes that continually do well for us are BMW, Mercedes (AMG in particular) and yes, Porsche. Would love to feature more EVs or unique stuff like this (th-cam.com/video/6AgjNsCYKRk/w-d-xo.html) that is cheap and cheerful but you guys just don't watch it or share it enough to make it financially feasible. Open to being wrong here . . .
@@MotoManTV you are either well respected reviewer for the rich or for those of us who like to learn more about craftsmanship and beatiful cars ))). In any case, I personally enjoyed watchong Camry (all three episodes) and Avalon series as these were absolutely new models. Would love to see your opinion on new Accord for instance, the point is plz keep slotting some >40k cars every now and then.
Where is the rear sunshade? Please bring it back Hyundai. Is it optional?
Very appealing vehicle. But I couldn't agree more about the push button transmission control. Such push buttons and equivalent dials are often justified as "saving space" but the "space" saved is minimal or non-existent and can be utilized only if one could somehow magically suspend objects in the air above the controls.
You pointing out the hunt and peck as an in city negative may have just unsold me on the Sonota n line and single-handedly ruined my weekend 🤦🏻♂️😂 idk how I never thought of a quick 3 point turn as something that would be a problem. Im coming from a manual though so that’s probably why. I was just thinking ‘now I’ll have a manual for weekends and a daily DCT’. Not I’m thinking I’m screwed.
I love everything about the car. The only part I don't like is the REAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#hyundai lovers 😍😍
I dont know anyone that uses a cars navigation. If they could make one that uses Waze and it updates for free would be awesome
It looks like the light color panels in the dashboard are reflecting pretty obnoxiously in the windshield.
How do find out about the N-Line? Definitely might be interested in that one. Love how these are looking for the price.
can wait to get this car
Cars aren't dead.
But, the V6 in decent, reasonable cars is dying 🦖 🙁
The 1.6T looks less than spirited, yet the N engine looks appealing.
Now with the 1.6T loaded pushing $34k, I assume the N will push 4 cylinder prices to a ridiculous level.
I'd like to see you to take the Accord Sport 2.0T Automatic for a spin, to see if it's still alive & well.
Considering the RWD 2.0T Kia Stinger is $33,090
MSRP to start. I really don't see them Pushing the N-line that high above that level. We'll see . Hopefully well below $40K including floor mats
Accord? Good luck with that lmao.
Hyundai is fine if you plan on keeping for 1 to 3 years, but if your in for the long haul it will be falling a part by 36k, I bought a new 2013 Hyundai Azera Limited no major issues at first but I did have alot of issues with wheels clear coat flaking off 4 new sets of wheels in first 60k, tail lights filled with water 2 times, fog lights constantly burning out, ac vents and speedometer screen cracking from heat in summer, trim on steering wheel and dash clear coat falling off just to name a few things and by the time I hit 43k the cam phasers failed after 2 times repairing and 4 months later they put in a brand new engine ended up costing Hyundai over $12k after 2 repairs and new engine. I stuck it out for a while no issues but later had about 18k on new engine exhaust cam phaser failed I ended up trading it off. Its sad to buy a car for $37k and not even make it 4 years without major issues only worth $10k when I dumped it. I should have bought a new Camry for $27k or a Lexus ES350 for 38k drove it for 10 years and not have had a single issue. Lesson learned.
Geez! That's a bad experience. On the other hand, I have a 2013 Sonata with 103K miles on it, and it is doing great! I had a leak on something related to the AC almost a year ago, it has been fixed and no issues so far. I live in Florida and I've no problems with heat ruining the car during Summer.
Something I've noticed on the road with this model is the left braking light seems to burn out on many Sonatas, replaced it two years ago and is good so far.
What do you drive now?
@@angelherg1997 Yeah it was pretty bad since I live here in Midwest and garaged nightly and I take extreme care of my cars most my past cars and trucks all have made it to the 250k mark without major issues
Do you have to follow the car as it does self-parking? That looked weird.
Sadly, yes.
I want the N-Line Sonata but I want it with AWD ☹️
Too bad there’s no AWD option.
I like this car and the Honda Accord 2015 2016 ex l
Why it's not releasing in Australia ?
Nice car and a nice review
I got a Toyota ad while watching this.
Saw one of these the other day drive by. Not half bad.
Front look good but the rear doesn't.
@@zarbon700 Front is ugly but the rear is OK even though the tail lights look too much like a Honda Civic economy car.
12:21 you have the power specs reversed. 180hp/195 torque.
This is good car!! Hyundai are a very good cars!!!
Beautiful scenery and a handsome Sonata. Best news is NO CVT! Thanks for the upload.
Thank you, Daniel!
Guess what....Sedans are better. Yep I said it.
The only perfect car is the one that l build, but in a good way others have come close to the mark, yet as always l digress.
I want to tease this car for looking like a Mazda Volvo but they are fighting against the scourge of car design -SUVs..
Good car Hyundai now make a wagon.
Saw the yellowish car at a dealer. Ugly. Just bought a new simple Tucson for the wife. Non Turbo! Less to go wrong
They also had a couple of Genesis models. Those were awesome looking.
@@scottw7492 the way you put it your dead set on that turbo going out
1.6 l turbo has less power than the base model Sonata running the 2.5 l which is the engine I was hoping they were going to put in the limited model.I find this car disappointing compared with my 2015 sonata
They offer a v6? other wise good day!
I dont like the exterior, i rather have camry 3.5l red interior
I haven't seen a video from you in practically a year what is going on my brother
man cars ain't dead, but the front end of that looks like a catfish.
If cars are dead how come I see so fucking many of them.
A map pocket?? Who the heck uses paper maps anymore these says???
If it was rear wheel drive with a stick option....
Look at the Genesis G70 2.0T if you want a RWD manual sedan.
Tall console for a FWD is kind pointless. Alot of unused space
I don't like the step back in infotainment. Like the old infotainment better because of the hard button not touch.
I Hate SUV's, Please show more Sedans and Coupes
I don't like the push button transmission's either. Deeply disappointed because they did two things that make it so I can't buy this car
They make nice designs, but man their paint sucks. I think it's gotten to a point where a simple key scratch removes the paint all the way to the bumper. And their bumpers can be broken by a freaking fly
$34k for a 1.6 liter engine is over the top insane. Add it's a Hyundai and it's insane on steroids.
Yeah but this is slow foe the money compared to their previous 2.0t limited trim
More horsepower please
I have to be honest Albert bierman being at Hyundai is a mixed bag for me great steering horrible shifter they got rid of the shades in the back of my sonata which suck when you have a little baby they got rid of the rear heated seats. They put in a worse engine in my limited.why would I want a 1.6 l turbo that puts out 180 horsepower when the base model is a 2.5 l direct inject motor that puts out 190 horsepower? It makes no sense. That little shitty 1.6 l motor belongs in an Elantra
Hyundai kia is get rid of before warranty runs out.
It’s because they hired a lot of bmws higher up designers
The Tesla summon mode is lightyears ahead of this gimmick form Hyundai.
Yeah & how many thousands of dollars more?!? Don't hate on Hyundai for giving great tech & features for a great price.
@@jameshughes6049 It was not about hating or cost. It was about pointing out the technology advancement and usefulness. Tesla is lightyears ahead of tech advancement on self-driving, GPS, radar. Its summon mode is so much more useful than the Hyundai gimmick of inching away from a parking spot. I can only remember less than a handful of times in my decades of driving where somebody parked so close that I can't get into the car ... so not a useful feature.
Nhat Tran .... Your comparing a totally different type of vehicle and not everybody can afford a Tesla!
Nhat Tran Tesla is not built for the average Joe. 100,000 ... you can’t even own one yourself. Even cheapest Tesla fully loaded with all the tech you’re talking about isn’t affordable to the average driver. This is a car anyone can drive around town. No need to worry about charging it up overnight like your phone. lol
The rear is ugly and it just looks like another boring appliance car.
Love how the N edition is in camouflage, which is totally unnecessary and clearly designed to actually make people look at it and think it must be special. Without it, it would just look like any other Sonata and effectively be invisible, which of course would be the best camouflage. Great exercise in marketing the crap out of a "top secret" car. They even "accidentally" left its new badges on the grill if you still couldn't see what the fuss was about with a Sonata.
@ 5:21 you want more knobs? OK Boomer.
Pink sneakers? Seriously bro?! Hahahaha!
Just the brand is pulling me down.
Why?
13:34 D C T's do not belong in daily transportation. Wet clutches or dry, they are too finicky for any kind bumper to bumper daily grind and crawling.
Not to mention their rare and stupid expensive fluids.💩👎
Just make sure that you keep all the service done at the dealer and dont loose the paperwork. According to recent news, you'll need those because when the engine blows a hole in itself just when you pay it off, they wont honour the warranty without it...and then cross your fingers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/hyundai-kia-engine-failure-recalls-1.5382373
I am Korean but I don't understand. In South Korea, the Korean government instigated boycotts of Altima, Camry, and Accord made in the United States. Why buy Sonata
Never buy a car with that awful push button gear shift.
It is, without doubt, as ugly as three day old dirt.
that dash looks horrific

Kinda looks like a baby of mustang and audi
"Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 1.2 million more cars in the United States for engine failures after customers reported additional failures since the original 2015 recall, according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)." 2017
"DETROIT (AP) - Despite a government shutdown, Hyundai and Kia are moving ahead with a recall of about 168,000 vehicles to fix a fuel pipe problem that can cause engine fires. The problem stems from improper repairs during previous recalls for engine failures.
...
In addition to the recall, each automaker says it will do a “product improvement campaign” covering a total of 3.7 million vehicles to install software that will alert drivers of possible engine failures and send the cars into a reduced-speed “limp” mode if problems are detected." Jan, 2019
"DETROIT (AP) - Hyundai has found a new problem that can cause its car engines to fail or catch fire, issuing yet another recall to fix problems that have affected more than 6 million vehicles during the past 3 ½ years.
...
It’s a different problem from what has caused the rest of the recalls since 2015 from Hyundai and its affiliated automaker Kia, which have been plagued by engine failures and fires across the U.S." Apr, 2019
Langolier You’re too late, they already addressed this. I got a brand new engine on my Sonata for free. They actually honor their warranty and even give you a free rental. lol
@@isaac198428 _ LOL! Right! They have been addressing it for 15 years now LOL!
How long have you worked for Toyota?
@@joshrandall5297 Where were you born in Europe?
Who else has realised hyundai keeps on copying the interior of BMW?
They hired BMW designers.
@@joshrandall5297 that might be true
One word that came to my mind about this car. UGLY. After years of copying other car brands for so many years, they still make UGLY cars.
One UGLY Car. I can' believe would buy and drive this UGLy car???
The rear end is exactly like a Civic. Blatant plagiarism
Question (to all): Hyundai Sonata or Mazda 6 and why?
Currently driving a 2011 sonata with 310 000 km with no issues. I'm sticking with Hyundai. That sonota n type will be mine.
Hyundai Sonata for sure. There's a reason that Mazda's sales are plummeting.....they just don't hold up very well over time :/ . My mom had a 2016 Mazda 3 and it didn't make it 50k miles before literally EVERYTHING started either rattling, making noise, or falling off the car.
Ford, GM and FCA move to eliminate cars from their line ups while Hyundai gladly takes up their slack.
mtgreengarden Ford gm and fca didn’t really have good cars Honda Toyota and Hyundai Kia seem to sell really well across their whole lineup. It was inevitable “American” companies would stop selling sedans.
Hold on there, Cowboy. Let's see how much Hyundai sells vs their SUV/CUV lineup. The Big Three must have crunched the numbers and didn't see it worth their while.
Good luck selling them. Hyundai misread the market, and likely had this in development for years not seeing the trend that American millenials like lifted wagons, crossovers, hatchbacks, and SUVs as they are just way more practical trunks.
@@BoopSnoot dude these Sonatas are gonna sell, especially in big cities where parking is tight. I'm in NYC & there are more sedans than SUV's.
@@jameshughes6049 no you are wrong. The last sonata didnt sell and this aint gonna sell. Remember this comment. People are either buying couoes, lucury sedans, hybrids or suvs. Family sedans have been selling far less unless it's a Camry. Even the accord and altima sales are down.
People are starting to realize that being in debt is not the way to live. How many people are tapped out because the bought an overpriced SUV or truck.

And wait until gas prices go up again.
Me ...lol ..
700 dollars a month in gas for my Tahoe 😩😩
@@robertocurry1386 do you really spend that much in gas
Currently own a 2011 Hyundai Sonata. Love it! Can’t beat the 10yr/100k miles warranty. Already got brand new engine due to the recall a while ago so it’s still a win.
Kia Stinger GT, Genesis G70, Kia Telluride... Kia Soul, Kona... Ford/Chevy couldn’t keep up so they bailed out of the segment altogether. lol
It sounds like Hyundai actually made a pretty decent car here.
They've been making decent cars for years, with the best warranty in the business.
@@joshrandall5297 yup people bashed them for the longest time because it was a "hyundai"
@@akashcash Yeah, its the same for Japanese cars in the 70s. People bashed them, but here they are being the industry standard while American manufacturers are left to award themselves JD Power and associated awards through their selective surveying. Korean cars have passed American cars and are just about Equal to Japanese ones. My family owns 3 Hyundai motor group cars and have had 1 issue (which is really good for the industry standard of reliability if you look up the statistics of how only one brand of manufacturer has 1 issue per new car and it just gets worse as you go down the list). The hybrid battery on the 2016 sonata had a failsafe issue and Hyundai replaced the battery for free. No worries, we were taken care of thanks to their commitment to quality.
More "regular person car" reviews PLEEEEEEAAASSSE! I love your videos but i cant afford those fancy pants machines. Love you, bye bye!!!!
It's called buying used or adjusting your priorities.
Totally hear ya, but they just don't work as well for us. Have a look at my response to Warhead Urban Exploration above for more detail.
I bought a 2017 lincoln mkz that costs 25,000$ after 1 months living in The USA, Im sure you can buy a 33,000$ car if you want to.
Wait a few years. It'll come down in price.
I thought that the remote parking feature was useless too, until my pregnant sister in law had a minivan park extremely close to her car last week and she had to wait for them to come out of the store and move their van before she could get in. She really could’ve used the feature then lol.
MotoMan you are the absolute best reviewer on TH-cam. I am a Petrol Head and really appreciate your detail and information. Second to none, IMO.
Thank you, sir!
Wow.. Hyundai and Kia! They are stunning!. Kia 2021 K5 is insane!! Now I can't turn my sight to Toyota. That are just just!!
I wont be suprising if hyundai and kia all of sudden rise their pricing at some point.
They're kicking toyota and nissans ass.
Not with Corona around
@@halivette Yeah, Hyundai will be taking a huge hit in profits this year. They decided to ramp up their factory to a high percentage of cars again in Korea and they sent them to the US; however, they are all stuck at port authority since no dealerships are moving enough cars to take delivery of new ones. Really unfortunate risk that they took.
Waiting for SONATA N
OMG, as a 2015 2.0T Limited owner, being able to turn on the heated/cooled seats was one of my top on the wish list. I really wanted a Genesis when it came time, but that, along with better tech and features, makes it hard to justify a Genesis over the Sonata. I'm hoping they'll add more incentive to the Genesis line sooner than later.
I like it. The new Sonata is missing an available AWD system with all the trims. Thanks for your great review.
