Beautiful Car With Many Features

I love the looks of my 2026 Hyundai Sonata SEL Sport. It has the new Smartstream G2.5L Theta III GDI and MPI injectors with under piston oil coolers on four cylinders with no turbo. It's a reliable daily driver. It has 3 driving modes, eco, normal, and sport. The interior is very nice. The driving screen seamlessly connects to the infotainment system without sticking above the dashboard. It has remote start, climate control, and lock and unlock through the FOB or phone app. It has nice cloth seats for five people with plenty of leg room for all. The trunk is huge with plenty of room for suitcases for road trips. I plan on keeping this car for as long as she keeps me on the road !!!!

Beautiful Car but Dangerous Automation

The car itself is beautiful. Extremely smooth ride with plenty of power. Interior is perfectly designed with instruments well-placed and easy to read. The huge fault with this car is the automation...it goes from annoying to downright dangerous. There is an automatic feature that will mute the audio and a message will appear recommending you take a break. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the message appears...but if it is very windy, then the message is almost incessant. If you like to listen to audiobooks on a windy day...forget it. Can you turn the feature off? No. Now the dangerous part of this car is the cruise control. You cannot turn off the distance measuring to the next car - only change it down to one car length (which is really more like three car lengths). If you are on the highway in traffic and everyone is doing the speed limit and someone decides to slide into the gap between you and the next car, the cruise control will brake heavily. EXTREMELY dangerous - especially if you have an 18-wheeler right behind you. When I am in traffic now, I turn the cruise control off because it is too dangerous to use. Unless the feature is changed, I will never buy another one because it is just too dangerous to drive.

Great car, awful cup holders

I love the sonata. This has been my 3rd one. I have the nline specifically. My 23 sonata nline had great cup holders. The 26 cupholders in the front sucks. They are either too wide or not deep enough. Ive spilled both coffee and soda into my passenger seat bc if you take a turn slightly hard, even a large will tip. Also the rear bose speaker rattles. Thats very annoying and i had to fix that rattle myself.

Sonata Sport

Very comfortable car, sharp car, can't believe they have no ventilation for the back seat. The 2.5L engine is way under powered for the car. Poor acceleration would not trust it to pass or pull out in front of someone.

Never should have bought it

Transmission and throttle are difficult on 30 mph town roads. Automatic braking loxks up my wheels when I back down my driveway if a car goes by on my street 75 feet away.Owners manual is useless and why are the paddle shifters placed where they can be accidentally bumped during normal driving.

A lot for the money

I had two genesis g 70 sedans and they were great but expensive. My new Sonata N Line is actually more fun to drive, has more horsepower thanks to a 2.5 turbo charged engine pumping out 290 hp. The 19 inch rims are awesome with pirelli all season sport tires. Bose sound system is fantastic and I love the panoramic moon roof. Also safety features galore and a beautiful interior that is very comfortable. All this and more for judt 38k. I couldn't be any happier, thanks Hyundai.

Good vehicle

Good, 2026 Sonata noticed rear defog takes a long time to clear rear window. Rear view mirrors left and right also fog up easily. My 2017 worked well to clear mirrors and rear window.
