2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Review

The 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has undergone a significant facelift, making it look modern and fresh, almost like a new generation model. Notably, this is the first Sonata with available all-wheel drive, although the focus here is on the hybrid version. The update includes a simplified front fascia, a single slim light bar called the "Seamless Horizon Lamp," and relocated headlights and badge. The design is sleek and confident, incorporating the best aspects of the IONIQ 6 while eliminating the more polarizing features.

In direct sunlight, the flakes in the paint sparkle blue! Found that out one day (I work at a Hyundai dealership) so I finally got why they called it transmission blue and not grey

“Where it can antagonize rental car users for years to come” 😅 too real for that 😂

Rented it two days ago...unique look. Head turner but a near 600 mile fuel tank? And after driving all day, it was only 11 bucks to fill up qhen i turned it in. Best fuel efficiency ive used ever. Like 45-50 mpg i believe.

Great analysis on ride quality. Some auto reviewers sadly neglect to describe how the car actually rides.

My Biggest complaint with the Korean brands is they change the styling too soon and too often. If you buy one in 4 to 5 years you appear to have an old car. You can buy a Toyota - VW - Lexus - Honda etc... and a 4 to 5 year old model can still feel fresh if well taken care of. I hope that makes sense. Plus I have heard horror stories from dealer/service experiences from the Korean brands. NO THANK YOU

Hi. Is this car comfortable for petite drivers?

Does this absorb bumps and potholes better than the Camry?

[GlennLaycock]

Canada - we get a fantastic (Toyota matches the pricing pretty much for the new Camry "one up for base" SE - I believe AWD would be extra though) - AWD base but they add a bunch over the USA model (leather, heated, cooled, memory seats .. and I think couple more things). We do NOT get the hybrid - with Hyundai saying that the Elantra Hybrid - which only comes in the top model here - is in a higher demand sizing (in Canada - actually by a substantial amount) AND the front seat area in the Elantra is shocking almost identical to Accord and Camry - with a back seat that many buyers might find a "we can live with that just fine" sizing. Car reviewers I follow here said - that is correct BUT they feel it was a big over sight not to offer it anyway - with Hyundai telling them they can always change the offerings.

The new rear doesn’t match the cars shape, it’s like it’s trying to be an oval and a rectangle at the same time and the sharp led light bar makes it look too robotic for the curves of the rear bumper. Idk the rear just doesn’t work for me, I prefer the rear of the pre facelift with the rest of the new one.

I owned a 24 sel connivence for 7 months and hated the car, the motor feels underpowered, and over revs when trying to accelerate, i loved how quite the cabin was, the steering wheel was too large and took that sporty feel away from the car. I traded the 24 and bought a 23 limited.

[wongcheehoe]

Wonder why the trunk was not opened for display. The size of the trunk was also not disclosed.

Great look at the sonata.
I agree. Kudos to Hyundai. They will and do change design elements rather quickly. The also offer sedans. Another point for Hyundai. They keep trying to get better is also a plus. Would I buy one. No. Never.

[ptn]

The design looks overdone. Like, elements do not come together for a cohesive whole. That’s a problem because you’re gonna be looking at it if you own one.

[philknight]

The steering wheel is horrible, makes the whole car feel like im driving grandmas old buick
