Sonata car I would buy....having lived in South Korea for a number of years, I have observed many examples of Sonata good workmanship. Sonata vehicle that is on my ownership bucket-list.

I love my Palisade. They designed that with a ton of thought. USB ports in the seats, lots of USB ports. The air vents can blow direct or diffused air so if you have an infant, you don't have air blasting directly on them. It drives nice. Has plenty of power with it's NA V6. It's twin the Telluride and the Palisade are in hot demand. Now they are coming out with a version that has screens in the back for the kids. The 10 year power train, 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty and 3 years of maintenance. It's a nice ride. I test drove all the 3 rows, Explorer, Pilot, CX-9, Atlas, QX70, Tahoe...so many. Now I don't need a 3 row and want to get a Mustang GT.

It totally depends on the throttle input and climate control demands. You can make it drive on battery only for quite some time. But at some point the engine will kick on to charge the battery back up if nothing else. But it’s not like the Chevy Volt Where it runs on battery no matter what until the battery dies.

Most of the time, reviewers gravitate toward the top of the line models. Here you're pointing out the virtue of the simpler model. I've driven one of these already, the only difference being that the car I drove had the grey interior. What I remember was getting the average back up to 40 mpg after the salesman spent quite a bit of time demonstrating the car's features. I might have been missing something about the trip computer, as I couldn't reset the fuel consumption average just before we left the dealer's lot. I can also admit to no temptation to test the self-driving capabilities, such as they are. Self driving sonata my bag, baby.
