I appreciate review guys💓💞
Great review! Does it have ambient lighting inside the cabin along the dash and doors like overseas models? Thanks!
Why you dont have any 2.0 accord in this channel?
@@aymanal_jahwari9148 Honda is dying in australia. They were about to leave Australia entirely but they didn’t are selling a reduced range of cars and there’s no more dealerships due to the agency model. We probably won’t see many Honda’s around
How do you measure 60-110 time that you publish ? Is a run from about 0 kmh or 59kmh ?
Hyundai are on fire! Would love to see a RWD sports car from them, either sub 45k or sub 100k And no the Stinger is a GT.
They got g70
If they did I would probably be based on a Stinger anyway..
@@Hapkido82AUS a shot at the MX5 and GR86 market would be good
@@wagrj5738 not a sports car, a GT
Why not a Stinger? RWD, twin turbo V6, comfortable GT that is also a hatch... Why not?
For anyone complaining about this cars performance, obviously a car with huge amounts of torque driven only to the front wheels is going to struggle heavily for traction off the line & have huge amounts of torque steer, but this car does an exceptional job still, regardless of not having an LSD (only reserved for the full N models) & launch control really does an impressive job to help it off a dig, where this car truly shines though is in it’s roll on performance, it is an absolute bullet & exceptional bang for your buck in terms of performance, it almost rips anything in its class in a roll on acceleration test or drag, I have beaten a i30 N (manual) & WRX STi (2014-2021 model) in a roll race, and kept up with a tuned Evo VII (beat him off the line as that car struggled to build boost off a dig), trust me this car for being a sporty family sedan & not a full on sports car is an absolute weapon, the wet 8 speed DCT shifts rocket like. Numbers on such youtube videos can be deceiving if you haven’t driven or experienced any car for yourself. I would love to see a video on how this car does against the i30 N sedan (Elantra N) with the DCT in a drag & roll race as this is a 2.5 turbo while the Elantra N is a 2.0 turbo
The n would wip it. This thing would still be wheel spinning
Considering all the aspects; it could be the best car in this segment.
Not sure there's many other cars to beat in the segment? I like this car.

HONDA ACCORD SON
@@mee.sam_ the accord is slower, more expensive, with less equipment and a worse interior
@@jackcommon4864 the accord 2.0T is about on par acceleration wise as the N-Line
Love the car and performance, not so much the price. Wish you could rent it.
what do you mean? its pretty good value for money considering you get an actual DCT and pretty good power for the price. the GOLF Gti is like almost 10k more for almost 100HP less and its a smaller car.
@@atom608 Its out of my league, now I'm jealous you will buy one or two?
@@atom608 Golf GTI is not 100 HP less. 😉
Whoa, I like it's exhaust soundtrack. It's more like a sports car for me!
in AWD with launch control this would be a 5 second car, MAX. 4.8 ish is reasonable to expect. I mean on paper my Ateca's torque band is inferior, 400 from 2000-5000 rather than 420 in the Sonata from such a low 1650RPM, but because of the grip, I have *smoked* two different N-line cars so far in a straight line (i30N and Kona N) and I doubt it would be much different with this. What makes it even more interesting is that my car is 100kg heavier than Kona N and ~200kg more than i30N. So that is absolute proof of the difference even a FWD biased Haldex AWD system makes when flooring the throttle. I also checked various videos and the Sonata 0-100 times are all within margin of error of Kona N and I30 N and vice versa.
And hey, before anyone says I am anti Hyundai, I am NOT. I would have LOVED to spend a bit less and get the Kona N, but I just don't want front wheel drive with 200+ kilowatts of power. I am in a situation where I am very tall with a serious back issue and I need an SUV so I can get in and out easier, but ultimately I will always prefer wagons, sedans or hot hatches (once had a manual Volvo V70R, loved that thing). But I am all in the PLUS column when it comes to Hyundai's LC system, their wet clutch version DCT and their Hi-Po engines, as I love small Hi-Po Turbo ICE cars. Hyundai are curious, they offer AWD in the lower engine Kona and in some other cars but it seems their performance cars miss out. I guess they really love obscenely powered FWD cars! But for me, if they ever want my custom, I want AWD with those sort of power outputs.
Still like the i30 N line's snorting exhaust sound more 😂
It drives better to
Really impressive
I’ve got 2 2015 Sonata 2 litre turbo sedans & love driving this era of Hyundai releases, they look great as do the model change after this but the new release is an eyesore unfortunately for me anyway 🍻. Don’t think this one will kick goals
Can you do a video of the bace modle prado gx
First honest impressions: looks weird
....almost French....but not bad French 😎
This or the Octavia RS?
This
This car CRIES OUT for a LSD.
It doesn’t need one. The torque steer is almost non existent. Excellent engineering
LSD doesnt fix EVERYTHING..
This amount of power cries for AWD, heck, even RWD.
@@tomc6593 An LSD would be overwhelmingly beneficial to the driving experience of this car. 400+ NM open diff to the front tyres is recipe for one tyre fires, add a touch of steering angle to the equation and this thing would be be lighting up third gear on a dry road.
That's reserved for the full-phat N models. N-Line is just enhanced performance.
@@tomc6593 yes it does it's terrible
Will Kia put this engine in anything?
future kia stinger. already in korea
@@cbg1992 Nice :-)
K5 GT.
It's already in the base Stinger and the Sorento
Savagegeese did not like this car namely the suspension was too stiff
Wow performance is pretty poor actually
I'm 0 100 in under 6sec and 0 400 in early 14 is not poor it's in line with performance car and don't forget the price 50k so it makes it bang for bucks category
In our 10 years of testing cars, we haven't seen many factory FWDs dip much further below 6.0 seconds. Traction and power are just too conflicting with FWD.
@@robertceroli3512 okay, my daughter has a 13 year old Peugeot 207 GTi and she also gets around that, paid $4k. I think the performance benchmark for sporty 0-100 is under mid 5s, has been for about 20 years.
This test shows average like 40% outside qualifying as a sporty car, is my point.
EDIT: To be more precise, FWDs have not improved performance much in 16 years
@@PDriveTV 14s 1/4 time is like within a second of a 1980 Falcon S or 1984 Nissan Pulsar ET 1.5l. Not really impressive in 2021
EDIT: okay maybe not a 40 year old taxi but the V8 version 😂
@@MrDirtydiggler We're not trying to pick a fight here, but we think you might be confusing this for a performance car or a full-blown sports car? This is only an 'N Line'. 20 years ago a base model Porsche 911 did 0-100 in around 5.0 seconds, or closer to 5.5 in cabriolet form.
We think the performance here is very respectable for this style of car - 5.93 is similar to what we've seen from the hardest of hardcore FWD hot hatches.
Ever since han made that comment in tokyo drift about riding around in a hyundai.. this company took it to the heart and stepped it up
Like the fact you build boost when doing launch control. Other people release the brake as soon as it says launch control ready. Different companies have different approaches so giving a second more doesn't hurt. And you just smashed the company figure with the 0-100 they say it in 6.1 you got 5.9.
Yep, great point. If the car has proper launch control like this, and a turbo engine, it can't hurt to let the boost build a bit before setting off. McLarens and the new BMW M3/M4 actually make you wait for a second, with a note on the dash letting you know when it's ready to launch.
As usual with all cars we test, we do a lot more behind-the-scenes with the Vbox, trying out a handful of different modes and take-off methods to make sure we give the cars their best chance.
Nice video, That launch control actually does a pretty good job!
Thanks. We thought so too - great 8spd DCT.
hyundai really stepped their game...with their engine and also with their exterior designs
I actually think it's a decent package. The FWD is obviously a limitation, AWD would be great. 10,000km servicing is also a bit annoying, but otherwise I like it!
Don't go by the book, use the severe service interval.
E.g 15,000km under normal driving conditions (extensive highway & little city km's) thus oil will still be cleanish. Severe might be 7500km, i do mine every 7500km 🙂
They certainly need a aftermarket LSD to get more of that power down but don't think it will ever be developed.
An N version would be great, put in the suspension and E-LSD from the i30N and tyres and brakes suited for the size and weight of the car. Keep the 2.5 but increase it’s power.
@@lukemothug3744 they could use the Electronic LSD from the i30N.
@@lukemothug3744 there's an aftermarket lsd for the i30N, can only assume it would fit the sonata
agh FWD
Owners complaining on forums about very early high pressure fuel injectors failure. Injectors out of stock at the Dealership. This will cost a lot to fix out of warranty
Finally drove one of these. A bit of a handful trying to drop 420nm through one front wheel. No car has ever needed an LSD more than this. Magnificent car though. Long live the sedan🤘
Takes off like a houseboat but very nice.
It desperately needs rwd or awd fwd can’t handle all that torque and leave no choice but to spin
can you guys test the 2021 audi rsq3 sportback!! i am in the market for one but want to know the performance
I have the 2021 Hyundai Sonata n line same color red from someone who owns one I can 100% say it is an amazing sports sedan amazing handling the amount of power it gives to wheels wheel spin is AMAZING exhaust sound I love it for sure fast car and amazing to drive with the fam 👍🏼
I’m thinking about fitting an aftermarket bimodal exhaust. What’s your thoughts?
@@VSIT08 please tell me you've done this
This vs i30n vs Elantra n vs Kona n all with the dct.
Why don't they put an awd system on such a powerful vehicle?
Cost savings. Customer demand etc.
pretty decent car
Wonder if stickier tires would help or hinder performance???
Sticky tires can only help.
Imo, they help rwd and awd cars significantly more...fwd will benefit slightly...
These are already summer tires on the test unit, it just needs a LSD to fully-utilize the power. I think it was left off to keep the price down, as a LSD is an expensive component. Putting wider tires on there could help though - looks like you could fit 265 or maybe even 275 section tires without sticking out from the wheel well
I put stickys on an aurion and it made a massive difference.
And I thought Aurion had horrific wheel spin
How is the safety rating of this car?Is it safe in a crash?
Still slower then a civic typr r
0-100 in what drive mode ?
This should be all wheel drive
Rapid!!
Would love to hear it with an aftermarket exhaust and catback
Stock sounds like shit, aftermarket wouldn't be that great
@@FocusRS500 you like drone
@@FocusRS500 you are the guy buying glass packs, muffler deletes, and trash can sized tips, eh?
Picking the right muffler could make it sound deep, throaty, while also removing drone. Presilencers do well at attenuation as well.
All engines are just air pumps that are very similar in most aspects of design outside a rotary. Displacement, number of cylinders, and forced induction affect sound, but exhaust tuning is huge. Factories tend to tune conservatively, and this isn't a Sonata N, it is an N-line. This also isn't a hot hatch like the veloster.
What this car is, is a sports sedan for parents and those looking for a bit more refinement and room, not necessarily looking for the sound of popcorn from their exhaust note, nor drone or headaches.
I've had an rx7 without a cat back. Sounded amazing in tunnels, no four cylinder would match, maybe an STi, nor do they compare to a deep rumbly V8.
You might want to take a moment and think about what exhaust is, how it's made, and realize how silly your statement was. It sounds like any other 4 cylinder to me that is made for mass market. Unstimulating, but aggressive for office drones.
see my channel for a custom exhaust setup
Too bad the body has no style to it, very generic.
Interestingly, this is exactly how my EK Civic sounds with 2 1/4" full exhaust, no cat, no resonator, with a RSX Type-S factory muffler..
other markets for the sonata n line don't get ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, rear sunshades unfortunately.
7.03 to 100 about the same as an FG XR6 with no launch control.
That's rear wheel drive, uses more fuel, not as dynamic on the road and doesn't look as good as this
@@jackforrest7262 looks is subjective. This doesn't handle well at all
Huh crap sound just like a tractor
Id STILL rather have my 2022 Kia Forte GT2.
20K cheaper also...
0:28 if it was desirable it wouldn't be dwindling right?
Front wheel drives a bit shite, should have 4 wheel
This car is amazing 👍🏼👍🏼
5.2 sec where is that
Does anyone know where this road is ?
Not bad
Does this car not have an LSD fitted? It was a bit brash off the line with the launch control in use.
No LSD
Only 213kw out of a 2.5L turbo in 2022 meanwhile my late build 2015 A45 AMG is making 280kw stock and it’s only a 2.0L.
You’re comparing an AMG to an N-Line? A hot hatch to a souped up FWD family sedan? Apples and oranges mate
Kia Stinger has a 3.3L twin turbo V6 with 272-274kw
Audi S5 has a 3.0 L turbo v6 with 260kw
C43 AMG has a 3.0L twin turbo v6 originally with 270kw the latest models have 287kw only 7 extra kw out of 2 extra cylinders & an extra turbo
Holden Commodore VF (2014-15 model) has a 6.0L V8 with “only” 260kw (auto) & 270kw (manual) same with the BF Ford Falcon from a 5.4 L V8, the FG has 290kw only an extra 10kw out of a much larger displacement
And the list goes on my friend, numbers on paper don’t mean everything
Alot of 2.0L engines have more power or are equal to this cars kw (namely Golf R & Audi S3) where this car truly shines is in its torque figures for its class, and it will both those cars in a roll on race as it has less drivetrain loss, from a dig it will get pumped as AWD will easily take off much quicker
@@russell3436 where this car fails bad is putting its power down.
Super shocked it’s got launch control but I ain’t complaining
It definitely helps!
I am pretty keen to have a drive of one of these. Still love a good sedan. How do I option a manual though? I wish!! Maybe the i30 N sedan will have the manual I need?!
I30 N Sedan has your manual!
@@lukemothug3744 Yep. Thank you Hyundai for keeping manuals alive.
This probably drives great, and is fantastically engineered, all the car anyone would need. And nobody will buy one.
Does this run on regular gas or you can put in premium as well.
As far as I am aware, the manuals say that you can run regular gasoline. 87 AKI in the US, 91 RON elsewhere… You won’t see much of anything except a begging pocket if you get premium fuel for the Sonata N Line.
Violent wheel hop. Typical of hyundai front wheel drives with the turbo engines.
Typical of ANY fwd with turbo
Any front wheel drive...
@@fale892
Please try the accord or type r and let me Know what is your opinion 👍🏻
yea my 2021 accord sport 2.0t does the same thing! just traction control kicking in with fwd cars
the KIA stinger needs that transmission
8 auto > 8 dct
@@ikooiov no duct feels better IMO
50k tho. More like 44k would be ideal!
Some seller discount could maybe made it possible... Simply go and Ask. 😉
Cost about the same as a toyota camry and vw passat, a honda accord and skoda superb cost more so in that sense it is very reasonable pricing
@@jackcommon4864 alot smaller tho. And not in the same category.
@@dtomic17 the camry, mazda 6 and passat all compete in the same segment (at least in australia) yes the accord and superb are a size class up but both of them are about 10k more expensive
why do they always put high gloss black cheap plastic in cars these days id rather the same leather grain plastic they put on everything else since it doesnt scratch or get grubby fingerprints and tbh it looks less cheap imo.
Sounds too much like a diesel on start up w exhaust
Slower than my aurion 😱
Aurion is a V6 witch is discontinued now everyone like paying 4 cylinder rego lol
This car is trapping 169.1km/h in the 1/4 mile, that's a lot faster then any generation Aurion which usually do anywhere from 152-159km/h. Anything over 160km/h in the quarter mile is a quick car.
The Aurion is driven by old people in retirement homes though 😂
hey @PDriveTV you should try 0-200 with these fast sedans as well! It would be interesting because these sedans really pull past 200 kmh!
the "N LINE" stuff Hyundai is putting out is not that great. they are doing the entry level " BASE MODELS" stuff ok and the "TRUE N" stuff is great but these Luke-warm N Line models are overpriced and boring.
How about offering all the cars in a manual gear box too? some of us like to drive!
What's a better faster car in this segment/class on sale today?
@@carnut9193 Hyundai Fastback, cheaper, faster, manual, hatch with more room.
Subaru WRX, cheaper, faster, manual, better looking.
Toyota Camry SL, 3.5LT 6 cyl, same price, better looking, as roomy, Japanese for the most part but not too many cars on the market to compete in this segment. I Blame women for wanting automatic SUV's and guy's having to conform for the most part. Can't buy a car the missus can't drive too just in case she needs to now can we!
@@mergatroid1212 This Sonata is actually faster then all those cars in roll on performance, despite being in a segment for middle class business luxury cars that are somehow sporty. The only car comparable really would be the V6 Camry. I'm glad manufactures still make these cars even if they're floored, like you say hell of a lot better then all the cross over junk these days.
@@carnut9193 wish it was manual gear box!
@@mergatroid1212 You will never get one in this segment
The fake air vents on the rear make it look cheap. Why would you put that on?
Everyone's doing fake vents nowadays, that's why.
The 2022 sonata n line has working vents now they made it to be useful instead of the 2021 they are the same car just more features that they upgraded
Power figures are overrated...without launch control. 7 sec....slow...
Digital dash, push button gears & brake, easy scratch piano black.. urgh modern interiors suck.
This one could be around 5.2s with a four wheel drive. But tbh with the same budget, I’d rather go for a 3.5 Camry than this one.
The Camry is slower than this car.
The FWDs run 5.2s and this one did the same. AWD would be great when traction is less than perfect though.
Hyundai's have the worst suspension ever!
No they don't 😅 it's not overly firm like Ford
They took the civic's tailight and made it ugly. And the front is just hideous. Ugliest car ever made by Hyundai. Previous gen was original and much better.
Volvo Polestar 2 ripped off the civics tail light, literally...
Mediocre car. Sales rep ride.
