2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid - Redline: Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ธ.ค. 2015
- After a rather luck luster first effort into the midsize hybrid sedan segment, Hyundai looks to recitify the faults that kept the first Sonata Hybrid from being the top of its class with much improved fuel economy, better exterior looks, a roomier cabin, and smoother driving dynamics. Are the changes enough to warrant a look over Camry, Fusion, and Accord hybrids?

Just purchased the 2016 sonata hyrbid se the other day. i drive around 50 miles round trip. im averaging 42-45 mpg consistently.
even the base model is very luxurious. i love it.
sum guy does it have spare tire?
Thanks
I Have The 2014 Sonata hybrid limited and it is very nice and cool
same here for a 17 kia optima hybrid
did you have to change the battery yet?
hey Eric I just purchased the same car but my hybrid battery is mostly on 1/2 full is yours the same?
I love your detail reviews ..I have purchase two cars base on your reviews and now I am looking for the Sonata 2016 . I hope you get paid for your reviews keep up the great work :)
what an excellent in depth review, keep up the good work and hope to see more car reviews from you :)
Awesome video looking at this or optima hybrid which is the better car!?
Keep up the good work, you're the best car reviewer on TH-cam.
I really enjoy your reviews! You give useful info and comparisons.
In-depth and concise is hard to find, great review!!
good intro for the car, you made it look extra amazing, good taste of music too ;)
Sofyan, I usually love your reviews but that music is distracting as hell. It's mixed too high to begin the video - I had to turn the volume down - and then when you cut to the actual beginning of your review I had to crank the volume back up.
...and before anyone says "If it's too loud, you're too old," I can out-rock just about any young pup!
Wow, awesome review. I’m considering buying one and this was very informative. Thanks!
Just bought this baby with same specs and white exterior. Every time I look at it, it brings a smile to my face. Highly recommend.
TheBatman617 curious as to any update of its reliability. I know as the years go up hyundais have become more reliable. Also are you still getting good gas mileage?
hey Batman does your hybrid battery on the sonata stays on 1/2 full like mine?
Sir,
Would You happen to know when the New Kia Optima Hybrid EX will be arriving on Showroom Floors within Dealerships?!?
have you got a chance to drive the new 2016 chevy Malibu? I understand that they have one that an hybrid too.
6 speed automatic with more than 40mpg? Sold.
That part
Have the exact came car just hit 64k miles no problems still drives like new
Just passed 80k
@@talhashakeel2543 future buyer. Appreciate the update.
I was looking to buy a used 2016 Hyundai Sonata at 88k miles for 10k what you think good or bad idea?
@@TrumpsaTerroristChangeMyMind mine was at 35,000 miles for $17,000. I'd say so. Have a mechanic look at it before buying.
JET yeah It’s listed at 11k but I’m working with a car salesmen ik I can negotiate with haha but yeah I have a mechanic in mind to inspect the car for $150 before I do anything
Great video sofyan as always, do you have to wait until march to review the focus rs or do you have an early christmas present 🚘
+Keanu Umpherville Trust us, we've been asking Ford for the new RS, but sadly, it's not available in our DC market just yet, we'll get one though. We're just as eager to test it as you all are ;)
I test-drove this car today - the trim changes depending upon what color leather you choose. For instance, the grey leather interior of the car I drove has a fairly nice faux wood trim as opposed to the faux carbon fiber.
Enjoy your reviews. Please do a review on the 2016 Honda Accord! Thanks
Is their much of a difference between this and the plug in version?
Do you have any chevy or ford reviews coming up?
Great Job Sofyan as usual. I am suprised that you like this vehicle. I am curious how the Optima hybrid will be.
Are you all going to get the X1 or GLC anytime soon?
+carguy812 We'll probably be filming a GLC and GLE Coupe sometime soon ;)
Very good looking car
Sir,
I would like to know if the Rumors are True that Kia will be bringing back the Exterior Color: Blue and be Offering the Blue Interior color of the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid for the New 2017 Kia Optima Hybrid EX later this year?!?
them taillights though 👍👍
Soyfan, will; you be testing the new Jetta 1.4 TDI this coming year?
I wonder how Ford will step up to this challenge. A new Fusion hybrid is expected in 2017 that will be refreshed. For now, this Sonata has the edge! I enjoyed this review very much. Redline Reviews, please start promoting yourself so that more videos can be uploaded during the week. Waiting a week or more for new content hurts. Thank you again for the professional and tasteful review.

Soanata wins vs Fusion? lol you're dreaming
Can’t say anything about sonata but the ford fusion hybrid is the best car I’ve ever owned.
I just bought today. It’s on 77.000 miles and clean. I hope will be ok.
How's it holding up? Bought mine at 73,400mi a yr ago. Only issue I've had is 'refill inverter coolant' notification. Car started shifting a bit rougher-mind you it was during colder temp in LA. Took it into the dealership for 75,000mi scheduled maintenance (replace oil and air filter, inspecting brake system, suspension, battery, alignment, multi-point inspection, cooling system fluid exchange, adjust tire pressure per carb). The diagnostic recommended I needed immediate attention required for: the alignment-$130, brake fluid flush-$160, decarb service-$280, and transmission serv.-$280. I opted for just the alignment. Ended up forking over $577. Two recall operations were found; perform update to the HEV air filtr, and perform update to main/power relay/cable. Both requiring special order parts they said needed ordering. I've yet to hear back from them re: the recall parts.
I just bought a Sonata Hybrid Limited Ultimate and I absolutely love it! It's a lot like an Equus minus the V8, air suspension, and rear seat controls. It really does feel like a step or two above the Accord and Camry it competes with despite what "non-car people" will say just because of Hyundai's unfortunate reputation.
hey Desu I just purchased the same car but my hybrid battery is mostly on 1/2 full is yours the same?
Does it have a remote starter?
@@yousukkar6497How did you determine that it was half full?
does the pano roof and shade really open that fast or was that part of the clip sped up
I have a 2015 Sonata 2.0t Limited with the panoramic moon roof and it is actually pretty fast when opening and closing.
When are you going to do a review on the Chevrolet Volt?
Hyundai really got it right with the gearbox. Too many competitors use a CVT which is just hopeless and unnecessary.
Not really. CVT's are the most efficient gearboxes out there, and they're faster than a traditional automatic due to it not having to change gears.
+Viktor Freesmeier You know why almost no one likes a CVT ? expensive service and they kill the driving experience.
+ViperVenom X we know a guy who has 2007 Nissan Maxima with a cvt and he had it replaced 3 times in 6 months
+Ahmed Kashif And he's driving it? I would've gotten rid of it.
+ViperVenom X you get used to it. Mine has manual shiftability with 6 simulated gears. Lots of fun on twisty roads. I may buy another CVT. 97,000 miles and not a single problem with it.
I'm deciding if I should get a Hyundai Sonata limited (fully loaded) or a impala 2lz (fully loaded) ps I have twins so I'm looking for a big sedan
40 mpg / 44 hwy US gallons I assume? That's 5.8 l/100km and 5.3l/100km respectively.
sonata hybrid exterior looks better than the normal one
what is the name of the song in the beginning?
Such a beautiful car in General, I just love Hyundai!!!!!
My face when the beat is about to drop - right into the review. :p
Great car even now ,owned gas version and now I’m looking for hybrid limited version
beautiful review +redlinereviews can u plyzzzz do the 2015 toyota highlander plyzzz
Awww damnn burnout at 17:20 lol! :)
love this hyb car
I like this better than the first and the third generation in terms of looks
I do like the interior on the new one though
bro... this is a hyundai? Really nice. I had a santefe sport as a rental over the summer. it was really nice driving and pickup. On con is the seats were uncomfy after an hour of driving
All new Hyundai Sonata i really want to test drive it .
[whisper whisper whisper] *BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS UP WITH EDM* [whisper whisper whisper]
As far as this car goes. I have a fully loaded R/T Charger that I race, I hate to daily drive it honestly bc it's such a nice ride. Honestly out of it's competition I would get the Sonata Hybrid. This would be the perfect cash car in my opinion, Good Luxury, Good Tech, adequate power. That's the perfect balance in my opinion. At 41mpg combined with gas prices at $1.67 in my area, I could care less about MPG. So what would I do to it to make it mine? Tinted windows, 20's would fill the wheel wells up nice, and that's it honestly. It's a nice ride. And it's efficient. Nice Job Hyundai.
Man! A $1.67 7 years ago 😭😭😭😭
So real question, you have driven many hybrids i assume. What hybrid car do you prefer from comparing them?
+shivam220 I personally liked this more than the Camry and Fusion Hybrid, the stepped automatic is really my favorite feature and it makes the car feel more normal. Hyundai did a great job refining the overall powertrain for this new one. I haven't had a chance to full test an Accord Hybrid, but that should change soon.
-Sofyan
im not a big hybrid fan but with driving 100+ miles a day, its not a bad idea. Looking forward to your opinions on the accord. Be cool if you do a feature where you talk about all the hybrid sedan segments and whats a better option.
On Hybrids does anybody know if you have gas or electricity also?
It's basically a gas powered car, that stores power from braking to a special battery. Then when the battery builds enough power, the car's computer can switch to electric power in times of high gas usage, giving you better mpg. For example take-off. When you take off, you use a lot of gas. Electric powered cars have more power in take off, and they use no gas. So adding up the gas savings from take off, and quick acceleration, hybrids save you a lot of gas. The next step is a plug-in hybrid. This works in a similar way, but instead of building it's own power, you have to plug it in to charge the battery. Im 99% certain you can still drive these cars on a dead battery, the hybrid battery, and still get good mpg. That's what changed my mind about hybrids when I was told that. Sorry it took 3 years for you to get an answer. Hope it helped.
Woah the back tho
I hope Subaru Legacy gets a hybrid model soon
Hyundai, what happened? Lovin' my 2019 Accord Hybrid!
Getting this car lol after driving a Prius and saving so much money it’s hard going back to a full gassed vehicle.😭😂. Especially as a single parent
I wanted the 2016 Sonata as my first choice and settled for my 2nd choice which was the Accord. It was unfortunate that Hyundai does not offer manual transmission.
what Camry has they call eCVT but really it has no transmission at all. just two electric motors. this is good because no transmission to break but bad because of the way it sounds which is even worse than an actual CVT because in addition to the engine drone it also has electric motor whine.
I'm more than ready to buy new depreciation....yes I am...lol
do you have to charge it ?!? sorry I'm confused I don't anything about hybrids
18.47 sec, he say he's been averaging 33mpg, can someone explain me why is that, I tough that the car is supposed to give you a minimum of 38mpg in the city and 40+ Highway, I'm buying this car this week and I'm confused now
I could not watch the video! My tablet keeps forcing me to watch in full hd and my internet cant keep up! There is no option for lower resolution! :(
+Joe Antonio TH-cam seemed to have a glitch when it was first uploaded and would not play anything lower than HD, it seems to be fixed now.
+Redline Reviews Yes! It works now! Thanks for letting me know!
I can't watch the video it keeps coming up as a playback error
should work now. It did that for me too.
are you going to do a 2016 Camaro?
+Michael Mahjoub We sure are, a 2016 Camaro is scheduled for testing this Spring :)
+Redline Reviews awesome, thanks for quick reply
I think the sonata is better the the accord to because the accord looks boring and the tech is old.
So Hyundai feature that I want (Panoramic sunroof, cool seat, memeory seats, LEDs, heat steering wheel and Hybrid) and I am deciding to buy Corolla or Accord??? WHAT i been doing all this time????🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Did you get the Hyundai?! I love their features!
In my opinion the only time you get your moneys worse than buying a hybrid is when you buy it used I would wait three the four years before I would buy this car and you probably can get it for around $13,000
It’s now 7 years old and running about 20,000
Where have you been?
+Joseph Griveas December has just been a crazy month for me and the team, especially with the holidays coming up and travel. We aren't going anywhere though! You should expect to see a few more videos uploaded before the year is over :)
-Sofyan
+Redline Reviews looking forward to your new videos. keep up the professional work.
I'd Love to see the new Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Camaro if you can get one.
+omarrianowilson9 We have a 2016 Camaro scheduled to be tested in the Spring :)
I would recommend using better audio equipment if you're going to talk over the engine running with the hood up.
The reviewer touts the automatic as a positive, but that's exactly why it trails the Accord in both MPG and performance. The Accord eliminates the transmission which results in less drivetrain loss. And it's another thing that will break down at 100,001 miles.
Hyundai should have kept the grill from the superseded model
One request: Could you NOT move your camera too aggressively and roughly while recording? Try panning around slower and more gently for better quality video. I'm getting a headache from all those fast movements.
Why do they depreciate so much? I'm not buying new I'm buying used so I'm not complaining it's advantageous to me. I was going to get a Prius but I hate them so much.
do maxima 2016 review if u can
+Sahal Mullan
We have a 2016 Maxima scheduled to be tested next month :)
+Redline Reviews yesssss!!! I've been waiting for the review of the new maxima cause you are the best doing car reviews sofian!!!!
+Redline Reviews Please review 2016 Hyundai Sonata Plug-in. Thanx
+Redline Reviews Can't wait!
+Redline Reviews you're gonna hate that CVT
My BIGGEST concern with hybrids are the batteries because from what I've seen & heard they are VERY Expensive to replace! 😥 Why i haven't purchased 1.
Hyundai give a life time battery warranty
@@sahmeldin7626 LIFETIME??.... I would look into that. Because I've been car shopping for months and while Hyundai had the Best\longest warranty.... I've read the batteries are Also (only) 10 YEARS\100K MILES too....
@@laobejanegra926 yes 100k or 10 years on powertrain and 60K or 5 years limited warranty and lifetime on hybrid battery.I have the 2016 sonata hybrid limited have like 90K miles I work as lyft driver most of my riders think that my car is new one smooth ride I used to have ford fusion hybrid it was good up to 34K then start knocking whistling after a year and half I went to the dealer they changed the front Suspension then trade it in with my sonata.
@@sahmeldin7626 Yes, it does. But the lifetime warranty is only for the original owner. The hybrid battery warranty is not transferable. However, a replacement battery for a 2016 - 2018 Hyundai Sonata hybrid is $1,849 at Best Hybrid Batteries website with a 3 year guarantee. Not ideal, but not horrible either.
@@sahmeldin7626do you still have it? Did you experience any problems after this comment?
Very LOUD when you had the hood open... 😑
and here I thought I could into liking Sedans....guess not. Back to SUVs (not crossovers) for me #TallPeopleProblems
no spare tire?! WHHHAAAAATT?!
The censors in the back bumper looks so sloppy, would look much better color matched.
+keri ellerbe - "sensors" "look" "they" - (missing)
+Coleman Adamson lmao.
Sounds like a smartass.
keri ellerbe Depends. Maybe your audience isn't so smart and doesn't mind ghetto talk. If you're going to do something, do it well. If you're going to speak, speak well. I am offended by those who think so little of their audience they don't care. It's not an important part of my life. I just don't sub or watch any of their work anymore....as it is inferior and there are better.
keri ellerbe "your crap"? You nailed it. As to why...I was looking at cars. You know, the boxes with wheels you do videos about....poorly.
with your lead foot you are getting worst mileage numbers possible. CR got 39 mpg avg
Buying this car at 16k with 71k miles
How do you like it?
@@stephaniemathis5890 i love it heated & cooled front seats, rear heated seats, rear sun shades, heated steering wheel, and its a hybrid, i love it!
Review a Tesla S or X model, the future is tesla!!
why are the videos all jerky
direct injection engine is garbage for longevity
i think it looks terrible and wow your short and that headroom is poor
Engine sounds horrible.
Good Lord. Slow the hell down. You do a great review but your so fast on everything you make me dizzy. I just have to stop watching it after about a minute. You have no reason for rush.
I think people want to know the fuel mpg not all that! And the interior is depressing! Not inspiring!
Hybrid technology is horrible in this car, regular sonata has better MPG than hybrid,i am averaging 17 MPG city driving on my 2014 sonata hybrid, it gets a lot better on highway, 29 MPG, but again almost any modern non hybrid car will do that
