I like that Hyundai finally stopped chasing Toyota and Honda, and started charting their own path. The Sonata Limited is a good mix of luxury and mainstream. I agree that the styling is subjective. Sometimes I don't like it, but then I recently saw a model in red with black accenting and it looked amazing. The one thing I would challenge Hyundai on is adding the N-Line engine to the Limited, at least as an option. For about a grand more, you can get an Accord Touring or Camry XLE V6, or a Mazda 6 2.5T Signature for the same money, which somewhat blunts the Hyundai argument on value. Then there is the matter of the Kia K5, which is a great looking ride as well(although its interior isn't as detailed as the Limited here. Hyundai has been killing it recently on interior design).
I think you still get more features for the price though. Most of Hyundai's limited trim cars get cooled seating (not just heated), adaptive cruise control, lane follow assist (which is a step up from other cars that just issue a warning or yank you back into the lane), blind spot view, 360 view, remote parking assist, heated side mirrors, rear occupant alert, etc.
I bought a white 21 sonata limited with camel interior and it’s an amazing daily driver. Whenever I give friends a ride they are shocked that Hyundai has come so far. Definitely one of the best sedans for the price range IMO.
Do you ever experience a jerkyness feeling or lag when accelerating from a complete stop or low speeds? I just bought one and I feel like it lags and jerks a bit when coming off the first or second gear, or when I want to make a decently quick left or right turn
Drove my dad’s 2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL Plus and immediately fell in love and went to buy me 2022 Hyundai Sonata Limited; it’s arriving at the dealership next week, can’t wait to get it to my garage!!!!!!
I own one glowing yellow 2021 Sonata N-line for close to one month. I specially love this color as it showcases the red rear end tail light, and the gloss black front grille as well as the side mirrors. As far performance is concerned, this car feels damn good when you are on throttle, specially when accelerate right after the signal light turns green to give you a break from the monotonous city driving. You will get the feeling that you are being pushed back to the seat a bit which definitely feels good. You will have no problem whatsoever when merging in a highway or overtaking a slower car with this 290hp engine at your disposal. In a nutshell, if you are a car enthusiast who loves to get some excitement in your daily commute, Sonata N-line should definitely be under your consideration in this price segment. Thanks for the comprehensive review!
I have a 2019 Red accord sport and then i bought 2021 Red Sonata Sport. Nobody ever said a word about my Accord but I recieved unbelievable number of compliments for my Sonata sport. It is absolutely a head turner

@liongoodwin1568 Hey !! 👋. On my 2021 Sonata Sport I am already at 193k km and no issues that u have mentioned yet. Did u buy a used one ?on the next service I would recommend u try getting GDI cleaned up, Change Transmission oil and Engine oil both and then see. This should resolve the issue as it looks like the transmission is struggling to switch to right gear.
@@369-DRK Thank you for that info 🙏🏽 However, when you say sonata sport do you mean the limited 1.6T trim? Or the N line? I’m having these problems with my 1.6T trim and just looking to see if this is normal for this trim level
I’ll admit I called this car a “catfish” upon seeing it at first but since my husband leased it, it has really grown on me! Not just the exterior but the cabin is a very comfortable place to be. I may just wait for the Night Edition to drop..
I had a 2003 Hyundai Sonota. I bought it in 2016 for $1000. It had 230,000 miles on it. That thing drove great through 250,000 miles. So when I can, I'm definately wanting to get one of these new ones. I bet they can last 300,000 miles with new tech. I wouldn't have to worry about a car for 15-20 years!

Man this car to me looks better then the 2022 Carrola and the Honda civic 22 seriously my friend rented a 2021 I think it was the sonata and I loved it was standard model I think but I loved it I think I was impressed when you back up cuts radio down so you can focus on backing up while in reverse I loved that yeah I'm sure other cars do it but these Hyundai are alot of fun to drive
@@CarConfections hello. Is it other way to open the trunk without using remote or open the front door the press the bottom to open? Any bottom back there to press? I can’t find one lol.
I bought this exact car. A 2021 Sonata Limited in white with all black interior. I love the car so much, the mix of luxury feeling and tech for around 35 to 40k is a steal. I have only 4,800 miles since I got it on March but since then I love the car so much 🎉

Good on you guys for measuring road noise on the interior. Having owned some noisy cars, I'm very eager to have a quiet interior in the future, but other channels just make subjective statements about noise levels. I want quantitative measurements. I've subscribed!
I have one of this limited hybrid, I love it, the only two things I was expected were the mirror folding automatically and also open or close the windows with the control, maybe I couldn't find a way to bring windows down or up. Hybrid is giving me 2 Weeks away from gas stations with it's tank for 13 gallons and solar roof
Thank you for your video. I am trying to decide between the Hyundai Hybrid Blue, Hybrid SEL, Hybrid Limited, and the Kia Niro Hybrid LXS SE. Would you have any opinions on these vehicles? Which cards would be your top 3 picks?
I have a 2022 Hybrid Limited... Have just over 2500 miles on it and I'm getting just over 50 mpg... It is a very good hi-tech vehicle... I recommend it
@@alanrivlin1319 awesome. Thank you! I ended up reserving the Sonata Limited Hybrid. The solar panel roof wasn’t the selling point for me since up to 2miles a day on electric equals roughly 700-730miles a year which does not equate to too much savings per year (if gas is $4.50/gal, then that’s about $60 a year in savings). But I do like the other features the Limited offers.
Literally looking at this to be my first car. I need to tell my grandparents about this, because I'm honestly in love with it. Way better than the Camry, which is also starting to get a bit dated.
Im just now realizing that the Elantra is the Tuscon and the Sonata is the Palisade. I have a Palisade now, but it impresses me to know that I could still "downgrade" to the Sonata and still have ALL OF MY FEATURES for a fraction of the price.
@@Innadiated no it's not. the Elantra is compact, the Kona is subcompact. The Tucson shares the same platform with the Elantra and the Tucson has always been an Elantra crossover
I just bought a Hampton Gray N line sonata and it's the best car I've ever owned. I'm just curious as to why you guys own 2 sonatas? If you wanted a second car that was sportier you should have gotten a Veloster.

People are complaining about employee wages and this is the more reasons to start your own business. Even if its something small, make yourself your own CEO
@@gigssloan745 Yup, I feel like the only way to be young and weathy is to either invest in a lucrative business/career (like as an actor, singer, or start an extremely successful business) with the help of a broker/mentor, or by taking advantage of people in sales. I know of one person that is 24 and "rich" who works at a car dealership. Apparently he forces people onto vehicle they can't afford or that they can barely afford. That's basically scamming people ..
I liked this bold look back when it was new but this model is due for a replacement probably around 2023 MY. It will probably get a front look similar to the Tuscan/Elantra. I personally look forward to the new look too.
I don't know if any one else experiences this, but I just bought a 21' sonata limited 1.6T and I feel like theres a bit of lag when accelerating from a zero stop. It feels a bit jerky when accelerating at low speeds as if the transmission isn't changing gears smoothly enough when coming off from the first or second gear. It sort of jumps or jerks when I'm going from soft pressure to harder pressure on the pedal, even if im applying the pressure gradually.. Idk if I'm making sense, but has anyone else experienced this? I can't seem to tell if this is just apart of the new 1.6t engine, if this is normal for the 2021-22 sonatas, or if this is just turbo lag.. but I used to have a 2013 hyundai sonata 2.0 turbo, and I never had this issue. Anyone have suggestions?
I’m looking at this car but came across the numerous recalls on the Hyundai lineups. Do you have any problems so far as you own an N Line? I want to buy one
does it still have the theta II engine? mine is in the shop for an engine replacement for who knows how long, at least two months. huge back log of engine replacements for this car. this is AFTER they had "fixed" the engine issues that caused those replacements around 2013. don't buy one of these till they fix the problem they said they fixed and didn't.

Question for you gents. I am looking at the SQ5, X3 M4Oi, and GV70. I know you all have reviewed all three. I wanted to get your take on which one you feel is best. Which one would you buy for yourself? Thanks for your consideration.
Nice review guys! But I wish you had addressed what appears to be a weird interior styling element - the raised separation molding between the passenger side leg space and the console. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? For someone like myself who appreciates symmetry in styling, this is a deal killer! I'd have to look at that every day? NO THANKS! On to the competition.
I took the SEL sonata for a test drive yesterday and yes it’s sleek but has one problem. The road and engine noise too loud . Comparing to rivals they all added acoustic laminated glass on all windows and windshield but the sonata only added acoustic windshield. The wind and road noise from windows are noticeable. Altima is more quite as an example Also for the price point for SEL it should have parking sensors .. comparing it to Altima SV and accord
Are you all sure about the SE not having the same LED running late because my friend has a 2020 to se and it has the same led running lights as my sel plus. Also the sel plus also gets full led taillights just like the nline and limited
There's only one problem. Not a dealership in St Louis has a new Sonata available. You just can't find one anywhere. Edit: my local dealership finally has two 2022 Sonata SEL models. They normally have about 60 to choose from. I think the salespeople are as frustrated as the customers.
Hyundai has came a long way, I went to go test drive one of those & I like the car but I feel like they could made the design on the exterior better especially that grill looks ugly. I hope they will do something with it soon cuz i just don’t think it looks appealing to me.
I waited 4 months for Hyundai to fix my car because they didn’t have parts! When I got it back I traded it within two hours for a car 3 years older and 50,000 more miles. I definitely got the better deal!
@@theresacolton644 It’s 100 times better than a Hyundai! Hasn’t given me any problems and I get 50 miles to a gallon of gas. The best part is I never have to deal with Hyundai again.
Its an all new design from the infamous 2.4 Theta II. But only time will tell if it holds up better. I took a gamble and bought a 2021 Sonata 2.5 Theta III engine. But I had 2 previous Sonatas and never had engine problems on either one. Traded them both right at 100k miles.
My 2022 Hyundai Sonata is having a major issue!! When I slow down or come to a stop, it’ll make a loud alert sound, the car automatically goes into park and it starts to sound like the car is cranking at the same time the rpm’s are going up. All this while my foot is on the brake. An alert also comes on that says, “shift to P OR N” (mind you, the car is already on P BECAUSE IT AUTOMATICALLY PUT IT THERE!!!!) I’ve taken it to the dealers 4 times and showed them tons of videos and they can’t seem to help me. The invoice states that the car runs as normal and they cannot duplicate the problem!!! So upsetting, especially when you are paying more than 600 a month for a shitty car with only 10 k miles. Not only that, I’m afraid that one day I’m going to get into an accident with with my kids in the car. 😩
I buy my 2022 sonata new come wiht. factory defects always when it rains it gets into the water I take it to the service several times and they can't repair it they said that many sonatas came out with the same defect and because it is a recent car new customers don't know my recommendation is not to buy this car unless you want to have it a car wiht a defect

I have the 2020 limited id like to know what's the difference
@@tbeasley845 I noticed some difference between the 2020 and the 2021, such as the headlights but I just can’t find anything different in the 2022
@@tomaslajara2689 what's different about the headlights
@@tbeasley845 the 2020 doesn’t have physical LED bulbs, instead it has a aluminum thing which reflects the light. The 2021 has 5 separate bulbs
Are the seats comfortable???
Yes
I LOVE THIS CAR ❤❤
Question for you gents. I am looking at the SQ5, X3 M4Oi, and GV70. I know you all have reviewed all three. I wanted to get your take on which one you feel is best. Which one would you buy for yourself? Thanks for your consideration.
That's really tough.... We have a comparison coming up that will be helpful to this question!
@@CarConfections Appreciate it fellas. 👍🏾
INTERIOR COLOR IS 100%
Nice review guys! But I wish you had addressed what appears to be a weird interior styling element - the raised separation molding between the passenger side leg space and the console. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? For someone like myself who appreciates symmetry in styling, this is a deal killer! I'd have to look at that every day? NO THANKS! On to the competition.
Thanks !
Would all that technology added on drain the battery quicker?
Guys i will love to own a 2014 Hyundai Sonata hybrid. Preferably buy from someone here so I can afford it. I love Hyundai Sonatas
Thank you for the great review. Hope you leg is fine 🙂
Thanks!
I took the SEL sonata for a test drive yesterday and yes it’s sleek but has one problem. The road and engine noise too loud . Comparing to rivals they all added acoustic laminated glass on all windows and windshield but the sonata only added acoustic windshield. The wind and road noise from windows are noticeable. Altima is more quite as an example
Also for the price point for SEL it should have parking sensors .. comparing it to Altima SV and accord
Who drives a car and listens to the road noise lol? Turn up your music goofy
I agree! I have the 2021 sonata limited, my only complaint is the road noise. It’s gets pretty annoying if I’m not playing music.
It looks like “Kermit the Frog!”
FOR THE BASE SE MODELS DO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF CLEANING PRODUCT TO USE.
i love this car . i had one in white colour it was sick😍 . but then i transferred to another country so i had to leave it 😞
Does it have adaptive cruise control or Lane keeping assist system? My 16 civic does lol what about windshield wiper sensors?
Yes, it has all those systems
Hello I have sonata 2021. How can I make LED light flashing like this?
That's a camera effect caused by the frame rate temporarily matching that of the DRLs, aka it's not actually happening
Does that have folding mirrors
Power folding mirrors?
Here in AZ. We need steering wheel cooling, that would be niiiiiiice
Are you all sure about the SE not having the same LED running late because my friend has a 2020 to se and it has the same led running lights as my sel plus. Also the sel plus also gets full led taillights just like the nline and limited
It's something they changed for 2022, apparently
There's only one problem. Not a dealership in St Louis has a new Sonata available. You just can't find one anywhere.
Edit: my local dealership finally has two 2022 Sonata SEL models.
They normally have about 60 to choose from. I think the salespeople are as frustrated as the customers.
What about heated steering, which model will with it
Hyundai has came a long way, I went to go test drive one of those & I like the car but I feel like they could made the design on the exterior better especially that grill looks ugly. I hope they will do something with it soon cuz i just don’t think it looks appealing to me.
The one thing I hate about this car, it's the rear seat belt clip. I have a car seat and It's a struggle every time to lock the seat belt.
It looks really good and really ugly at the same time, but I dig it
😂😂
I waited 4 months for Hyundai to fix my car because they didn’t have parts! When I got it back I traded it within two hours for a car 3 years older and 50,000 more miles. I definitely got the better deal!
🤔 How was it a better deal to get a car with more miles?
@@theresacolton644 It’s 100 times better than a Hyundai! Hasn’t given me any problems and I get 50 miles to a gallon of gas. The best part is I never have to deal with Hyundai again.
Engines that won't explode or burn oil at 100k miles?
Its an all new design from the infamous 2.4 Theta II. But only time will tell if it holds up better.
I took a gamble and bought a 2021 Sonata 2.5 Theta III engine. But I had 2 previous Sonatas and never had engine problems on either one. Traded them both right at 100k miles.
My 2022 Hyundai Sonata is having a major issue!! When I slow down or come to a stop, it’ll make a loud alert sound, the car automatically goes into park and it starts to sound like the car is cranking at the same time the rpm’s are going up. All this while my foot is on the brake. An alert also comes on that says, “shift to P OR N” (mind you, the car is already on P BECAUSE IT AUTOMATICALLY PUT IT THERE!!!!) I’ve taken it to the dealers 4 times and showed them tons of videos and they can’t seem to help me. The invoice states that the car runs as normal and they cannot duplicate the problem!!! So upsetting, especially when you are paying more than 600 a month for a shitty car with only 10 k miles. Not only that, I’m afraid that one day I’m going to get into an accident with with my kids in the car. 😩
Does the in-line model come awd
No version of the Sonata has AWD at this time
What is this interior color in this video
very good video.
Thank you!
I am looking at buying one
Imo a great value if your looking for something great
I hate that the plastic door panels on the limited aren’t glossy black like the ones found on the sel plus 😑
I have the 2020 limited can I get my taillights and headlights to do that
Probably by 2024 a huge grill changed with ingraded led fog lights possibly a N line model
Does it still have ambient lighting
The limited does
Why i can’t find the new ver of sonata in Philippines ?
I buy my 2022 sonata new come wiht. factory defects always when it rains it gets into the water I take it to the service several times and they can't repair it they said that many sonatas came out with the same defect and because it is a recent car new customers don't know my recommendation is not to buy this car unless you want to have it a car wiht a defect
