C
Car and Driver
Car and Driver rates the Sonata 8/10, praising its sharp, futuristic styling, spacious cabin, and user-friendly tech with standard 12.3-inch displays. The SEL Plus trim with the turbo engine is a strong value, and the safety suite and 10-year/100,000-mile warranty are key advantages. Criticisms include the underwhelming base 2.5-liter engine and CVT drone under load; ride is composed but less sporty than rivals.
E
Edmunds
Edmunds gives the Sonata 4.0/5, emphasizing its exceptional value, long warranty, and standard features compared to the Camry and Accord. The interior earns praise for its modern design and comfort, while the hybrid achieves up to 38 mpg combined. Testers note a smooth highway ride and good steering, but criticize the CVT on non-turbo models, some cheap plastics, and slightly less rear legroom than the Camry.
M
MotorTrend
MotorTrend scores the Sonata 4/5, highlighting the aggressive 2024 redesign, upgraded interior, and strong tech including digital key and OTA updates. The N Line trim's 290-hp turbo and DCT deliver genuinely sporty performance, while the standard ride is comfortable and quiet. Criticisms include numb steering, CVT droning in base models, and tight rear headroom for tall passengers due to the sloping roofline.
K
Kelley Blue Book (KBB)
KBB rates the Sonata 4.5/5, praising its head-turning design, premium interior with available Nappa leather, and class-leading warranty. Standard safety features on the base trim are a plus, and the SEL is recommended for value. The hybrid often exceeds EPA estimates in real-world testing, and the ride is smooth and quiet. Criticisms focus on the CVT's lack of crispness and a narrow trunk opening despite adequate volume.
