Most beautiful car and loaded of features I’ve own

What an amazing car.. full of features .. I have the limited 1.6l turbo version and I don’t miss my 2019 Camry xse..this car has all the features you can imagine from panoramic sunroof , Bose sound system , heads up display to the extra ones that u prob won’t need it but it’s there like ambient lighting and sounds of nature .the only reason I have a 4 stat to interior design is the lack of usb on the back seat and for some reason only the passenger seat has the storage net behind the seat.. everything else is a killer .. I wish it had automatic window on all 4 of them but no deal breaker here... amazing display, amazing drivability and a,axing features... you guys did it again HYUNDAI

very stylish and comfortable

So far it has met my expectations and appears to be a great value for the money. It is solid on the road and provides exceptional safety equipment.

Absolutely love this car!

This is a medium priced car that can compete with the big boys now. What a car. I did a lot of research on this car, bought it online with all the COVID crap going on, and I have to admit, I am really surprised. I bought the Limited, and it’s loaded with everything but a wet bar. Great ride. You’ll not find a better car and warranty for the money

New to Hyundai

My last car was a 2010 Ford Focus that I had bought new. Great car that lasted me a solid 10 years. Now I upgraded to the 2020 Hyundai Sonata SEL with Convenience Package. I just have 50 miles on the odometer, so I have no idea how the car will behave in the long run. I opted for the trim with the 2.5 non-turbo engine since I like cloth seats. The car is easy to drive, see out of, and has a simple, open interior. I didn't opt for the panoramic sunroof since its not my thing and I would have liked getting the upgraded sound system, but that comes bundled with leather seats which I did not want. My only grip with the interior is that a portion near the digital shifter, there is gloss black trim which I'm not a big fan of. Since my trim level has the 17" wheels, the ride is smooth and the suspension soaks up bumps quite well. I believe large tires look nice, but don't act nice when introduced to a nice pothole, so the 17" are perfect for the additional sidewall. Another big selling point was the 3 year/36000 complimentary service for standard, routine maintenance and the fantastic warranty of 5 years/60000 miles bumper to bumper. I extended it to 10 years/150000 miles for $2600 since you never know with all the sensors and electronics that new cars have these days. I am very impressed with what Hyundai has come up with their new vehicles. I was also looking at the Honda Accord EX Hybrid (because it was a non-turbo engine) and Toyota Camry XLE. The Sonata was just the better value in the end.

Most reliable car I’ve ever owned.

Excellent quality car. Smooth on road. Silent. Comfy. Easy Adjust (in case there are flaws that you might have since everyone’s interests and tastes are different). 100% would recommend.

A comfortable and safe car.

This car is so nice. It handles beautifully and has so many safety features. But not a grandma car. It looks so sporty and sleek. Love it!

Amazing technologies on this new car

For the money, cannot compare with my Sonata with other brand vehicles. This has more features and new technologies that cannot be compare with any other cars in the market.

Refuses to Blend In.

Overall the vehicle is excellent. Styling inside and out is above average in this price range. While Camry, Accord and Altima have had a proper seat at the table, the 2020 Sonata has brought it's own chair...and it's changing up the Menu. The safety and convenience features blend together well. The ride and handling are very nice. After 2 solid months of driving long commutes, I'm just a bit sorry that I can't get behind the wheel right now. My former vehicle which I still own is a $45K luxury Sport vehicle. It IS a great car. The Sonata, just brings in a different tech that provides a great driving environment. The only concern I have is reliability. Introductory vehicles sometimes are prone to, 'it looks and sounds great on paper', but sometimes are hit with, "hummm...don't know why that happened." But I was willing to risk it, and I am well pleased to date.
