What they don't
Cargo Space, Reliability, Interior Space
Pros
Fuel Economy
Barely uses any fuel foe in-town driving.
Technology and Entertainment
Has many features you would find in a more expensive car.
Cons
Interior Space
Two people can fit comfortably, but three is too crowded.
Pros
Fuel Economy
Obviously, right? 99.9 MPGe kills it.
Seat Comfort
Heated and cooled seats is a major bonus
Technology and Entertainment
Android Auto is great
Cons
Pros
Seat Comfort
it’s a great comfortable car to drive. especially on road trips!
Cabin Noise
it’s very quiet when you drive
Fuel Economy
I can drive to Vegas on half a tank of gas!
Cons
Reliability
had the car for two months and it’s been sitting at the Hyundai Dealership in Temecula since the beginning of April. Apparently the hybrid batteries need to be replaced. unfortunately they have to be ordered directly from Hyundai and there’s a Nation-wide shortage on them. Hyundai Corporation has no idea when it will be getting any in, so my car just sits there. Waiting for one to come in.
Cargo Space
Wish the back seats would allow access to the trunk so you could carry larger items
Styling
wish it was a darker color
Pros
Cabin Noise
Super quite car with little to no road nosie!
Fuel Economy
Gets anywhere from 40 plus to lower 60's mpg (not 70 plus as suggested) which is fantastic.
Ride and Handling
It handles nicely and sits low to the ground and feels heavy enough. I like the responsiveness of the steering.
Cons
Dashboard
Missing a heads up display
Cargo Space
The trunk space is limited and the rear seats do not fold down in the plug in hybrid version
Weather Versatility
It is front wheel drive and though it does have anti slip function, I bet it does not like the snow.
Pros
Fuel Economy
100% charge equates to 27 miles on electric motor.
Styling
Same designer who designed for Audi cars also designed the Sonata, with it's"Tiger nose" concept.
Cons
Fuel Economy
Only 27 miles range on full electric power. New California regulation requires 50 miles on full battery. So this car is already obsolete!
Cargo Space
Can't fit my bike in the trunk like my old Camry or Accord.
Pros
Ride and Handling
it does ride nice when it’s running.
Cons
Reliability
it’s only ran for 2 weeks out of 4 months and waiting on a new transmission.
