Being a sports car guy I never thought I'd say I liked a hybrid so much, but this Sonata looks absolutely amazing. The customized gauges, running lights, ventilated seats; even the taillights. Pretty awesome for a hybrid.

Just bought a 2022 Sonata Hybrid Limited today. I was actually looking at the non-hybrid when I saw there was a hybrid on the lot. Gave it a test drive and instantly fell in love with it. The ride is a little smoother and "heavier" than the non-hybrid, giving it a more planted feel on the road, no doubt due to the extra weight and lower center of gravity as mentioned by Joe. The power is more than acceptable - I have a motorcycle for when I feel like being a hooligan. It's funny I didn't watch this video until after I bought the car but I have to agree so much with the analysis here: I also feel that styling of the hybrid is better than the non-hybrid. Sure, the panoramic sunroof really brightens up the interior, but the solar roof looks awesome and the front fascia just looks better to me. Also, the only difference for 2022 is the Limited gets the Smart Parking Assist and Dynamic Voice Recognition. I think the MSRP is really close to 2021, maybe just a little more.

As usual an excellent review. As a current hybrid owner and future EV owner my one request would be for you to include MPG/MPGe info in your reviews. Even if you don't have the car for an extended time, the info from the car itself would be fine as I have found it to be quite accurate. Keep on pumping out those reviews!

@@johnv6806 Eh, I own the 2020 with the solar roof and I get close to 61mpg on the highway if I have great sun. The cars logic makes it much more willing to stay in ev mode when doing 70mph if the solar roof is fully activated. On cloudy days, my mpg drops to between 47 and 51 depending on the day. It is still amazing fuel economy and coming to a fully charged traction battery every day after it charges in the morning sun makes it so much nicer to do initial city driving to then get out on the highway and make better use of the hybrid drive train.

It's a striking design. Very unmistakable. I love it! And really love the rim design!!!

We've had our 21 Sonata Hybrid Limited in Oxford Blue for two weeks now and love it more every day. Before buying, we also tested the Camry and Accord hybrids in equivalent trims. The sonata was a smoother ride and when you add in the little extras like the 360 cam and solar roof, it was a no-brainer for us.

My very first Korean sedan!! Good job Joe.

I totally agree. I enjoy driving my sonata hybrid more than regular model.

Hey Joe, any update on when you might be able to test drive the 2022 Nissan Frontier ?

I drove a 2021 Sonata Hybrid as a loaner from the dealer and loved it! I drive a ‘17 base model, and the Hybrid is so smooth and luxurious (for its price). It also had surprising quickness and speed if you floor it. Getting 50 mpg is no joke. If I were in the market I’d consider it or even the Elantra. Biggest complaint was the noise of the electric motor at slow speeds, and transmission with paddles isn’t worth using. I’ll take the Veloster N over either!!!! (Interior doesn’t matter when you’re having a blast!!!!)

Joe, can you review the 2021 Hyundai elantra hybrid?

I have my sonata 2020 proffered model and have driven it over 110k KMS within 2 years, still runs great. For some reason I just love sonata more than Camry and accord.

100 % agree..the hybrid looks way better than the regular one..so good that I am planning to buy one..the regular one is a catfish on wheels.

It's the best car on the market. Handsome, luxurious, top of the line safety, great MPG, great reliability thanks to a 10 year powertrain warranty. Perfect family car and a great excuse to have a sports car in the garage.

Can anyone confirm if the rear turn signals are located at the very bottom? If so I am worried if other drivers will miss that considering for all cars we are used to seeing the turn signals at the middle.
