Have a 2020 Sonata SEL with convenience package and it's

Have a 2020 Sonata SEL with convenience package and it's now 11/24. 26 thousand miles and never had an issue. Car is comfortable reliable and my wife and daughter have our their feet down when I wanted to get another vehicle. My daughter wants it in a few years as I drive carefully, service the car every 4,000 miles. She wants a free car with under 50k miles that will last 200k miles. I have taught her well. She understands a good value. So glad I got the 2.5 non turbo as I believe the engine will be worry free for another 175k miles

I have had nothing but a GREAT experience, from buying

I have had nothing but a GREAT experience, from buying the car to owning it! I went to Auto Land of Accident Maryland to look at vehicles. I had no idea whatsoever of what I wanted but I knew it was time for a new vehicle. Kerri and Chad helped me find my beautiful red Hyundai Sonata, and I fell in love immediately. Chad had me in and out fast and was such a huge help with everything! I have had it for 3 months now and nothing to complain about! It drives so smooth, the steering handles great! The gas mileage is unreal. My son and I went to Florida for a week, and as a girl who loves road trips we drove it to Florida from Maryland. Then we drove all of the way back. A 16 hour road trip, 985 miles one way and I was getting 43.7 mpg. I couldn’t believe it! That whole trip took a little over two full tanks! This car has been perfect for hauling things around in since it has so much room in the trunk and back seat. The seats are comfy so my son didn’t mind the long trip in fact he slept through a couple of states. This is my dream car! Thank you so much Autoland!

2020 Limited.

2020 Limited. Bought it new and I have 46,000 miles so far. Not a single issue yet. Traded in a 2018 Accord 1.5 Touring. The Sonata has more features, rides better/quieter, and feels more upscale. In the two years I had the Accord it was at the dealer numerous times for random issues. I have yet to have a problem with the Sonata going on 4 years!

Incredible gas milage and comfort

The Sonata has a very nice profile. Very sporty looking with unique lines. The 1.6 turbo is peppy, with very little lag. I average 32 MPH, City/highway combined. On several trips we averaged 39MPH. Spacious, quiet and comfortable. Love the two tone scheme, (silver&Black). For me , the best Sonata to date. I did love my 2012 red turbo, but the 2020 handling is superior, and so is the interior noise level.

Best new vehicle ever

I get a new car every 3 years. It is the Limited model and I truly love it. It has more tech and features than vehicles that cost 20M more. I have 24m miles on it and other than oil/filter changes and tire rotation every 6m miles it has had no problems. I love the heads up display. I am truly disappointed that Hyundai is discontinuing this model for 2023 and replacing it with the Azera. For the money I feel it is the best on the market.

It seems to be a good car so far.

I've only had it for less than a thousand miles, but so far, so good. Four stars because the SEL model doesn't come with NAV. That's a bit ridiculous. The Blue Link app allows you to set up geofencing, so it's not like it doesn't have GPS capability already.

Best luxury car experience at affordable price

Exterior is very stylish and sport looking and interior is very roomy, comfortable and luxurious. The gas mpg is very reasonable and all the bells and whistles at no extra cost. This is my second time owning my Sonata.

Are you in love with your car? You should be!!!

I went from a 2016 Nissan Senta to my 2020 Sonata SEL. Actually found it while on vacation after Nissan offered to extend the warranty on my transmission which had already been aching up. I LOVE THIS CAR!!! I had time so I did lots of research..looked at a few makes and models and kept coming back to the Sonata. Scheduled the test drive for the day I got home. My only conundrum was choosing the color. I've been in the car now for just over 6 months and I still love it as much as the day I test drove it. MPG is amazing. Comfort is off the chain. Safety features are more than I ever expected that I could afford. Styling with attitude and sexy curves and lines. 3 year 36,000 mile complimentary maintenance at 7,500 intervals. My dealership extended the drive train warranty to LIFETIME. Panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, dual zone A/C, auto headlights, auto dim rear view mirror, My Hyundai app, digital key, fantastic back up camera, lane keep assist, intelligent cruise control, super nice cloth seat fabric, trunk space for days, beautiful displays for the driver....there is so much to love about this car. It is so much more than I expected. If you don't LOVE your car, check out the Sonata SEL.
