Elliot is the kinda friend that you always enjoy having around because you know you’ll get a cheesy joke 100% of the time, and that’s what everybody needs in their life.
I bought the same exact model. While I dont have power/heated seats, leather, and a sunroof the MPG plus the smart cruise plus the highway drive assist is well worth it. It also has wireless carplay. Love it.
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.
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.
Right at the very beginning that was me a few hours ago. Got in the gas line at Costco in my GMC Sierra, a Toyota SUV was ahead of me, and we both hit the pumps at the same time. The SUV driver was done and gone at least 2 minutes before I was done. The numbers didn’t really fly by for me, but they certainly did keep going up!
Hey Mr Motary Notary!!! Sonata so bad? I'm overwrought with ambivalence about all these fun puns, I'm Sonata gonna cry 🥴 I do want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing public service announcements, Thanks to you I have improved dental health & I no longer suffer from bloating..... Now if I could just do something about cronic flatulence!!! 🙄 As always, thanks for sharing another fun video. 👍😁
My daily driver is a '98 Town Car that's sonata fuel efficient car. However, its sonata going to make me get a new Sonata and have car payments. Payments: its sonata thing I want in my life.
Your review is awesome and sonata bad! I have the 2021 hyundai sonata hybrid blue and I love it! I still haven't used all of its features. I'm going on my second month of ownership and I've only put gas in it once and the was when I used only a 1/4 tank.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone defiled the back of your Suburban with a Mizzou Tigers sticker. I hope it doesn't leave a permanent mark...
Someone needs to come out and say it. With the possible exception of Aston Martin, Hyundai makes some of the nicest looking production cars on the planet.
I'm sure the Canadians will say 'So-nay-ta' like when they say 'Meh-zduh' instead of 'Maw-zda' but it's sonata bout how you say the name. It's also sonata bout the quality anymore. HYUNDAI makes good stuff and they back it up with the best warranty.
Yeah where I love 3.2 a gallon rn in my car the ram 1500 hemi don’t drive much rn because it almost cost me 88 dollars fill up which if I daily drive that’s every 5-6 days so currently my focus been a life saver at the moment.
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.
My Lyft ride a few weeks ago was in a 2020 Sonata Hybrid. I actually liked how it rode and the interior was pretty decent, more spacious than a Camry in the back seat at least. But yeah its a catfish...I'm hoping the dealer will let you borrow a Veloster N next. Too bad I'm not in Wichita, I'd love to lend you my manual Elantra Sport.
I appreciate you watching even if it was Sonata very good. I still worked pretty hard on it to make it as interesting as I could considering the subject matter.
2:45 Made in Korea 88%, 2% Japan, 1% US/Canadian. where is the other 9% made LOL, and truck shipped from Korea? GOOD NEWS this seems to have a 6-speed automatic, not a hideous CVT that will cost you $7000 when it breaks.
I was thinking he stole JR's rental car...no, Sonata rental car....but then I was thinking he bought that with the Hellcat money? No, Sonata owner either.... Very nice the dealer let you showcase their Sonata Hybrid...maybe next time, you can showcase a Hybrid, since this is Sonata Hybrid... Ok, I'm done here...lol I agree though, the Sonata lineup has been good for at least the last twenty years. Haven't had the chance to play with a Sonata Hybrid or Sonata Hybrid Blue yet. Rented a Toyota Prius once...enjoyed the little video game it had me play to try to keep it in electric mode. Does this thing give you a score at the end of your ride like the Prius?
Can u explain more when the engine kicks on and off? Like can i go 20 or 30 mph and at 35 it kicks to gas? Or will it use battery untill u floor it or it dies? Cant seam to find anything on it I am.new to hybrid so maybe a dumb question to some... but useful to me :)
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.
Ya sonata very good to have a traditional transmission , I’ve seen them fail in low mile Hyundai’s quite often , because the clutches cant take the electric TQ !! Toyota if you want long term reliability
Sonata Hybrid Blue seems like a lotta car for the money. BTW: just curious if they sell men's shirts where you got yours? That one is Sonata masculine color.
I'm interested in the vehicle... what about taller drivers? I'm 6'4 and I'm looking to hopefully go from a Subaru forester to a hybrid due to my commute to work
This guy went all out not smiling at those Sonata jokes, lol. I’m comparing this to an Accord Hybrid, which Alex Autos says gets terrible economy after 60mph due to single drive gear. Also, I’ve read that Hyndai has superior lane keep assist, did you feel that?
The Hyundai lane keep assist is really good. It doesn't bounce back and forth as badly as the other manufactures' systems do. I'm glad you appreciated my puns! lol
I bet Scotty has a hand gesture for you... 🙂 Analog gauges in an electric hybrid ? C'mon Hyundai, Lincoln had the digital dash back in the early 90's. Instantaneous mpg, that was fun...
If its like the past a rust bucket. It cost a boatload to replace the fuel tank when it rusts out and starts leaking. As for range, hell my 1991 VW Jetta would do a comfortable 600 miles on a tank and in the 20 years, I owned it The fuel tank never rusted out and had to be replaced.
This video now gives us a interesting propersition. If you are in the market for a Hybrid/EV, is it worth spending the 20% more to buy a Model 3 over one of these?
Do Hyundai still have their engine quality problems? I was considering used 2013/14 i30s (Elantra GT) but it seems like around that time they were having engine issues on the petrol engines. Shame as Hyundai/Kia make some great looking cars. Hopefully they’ve got it together for the newer ones.
Elliot is the kinda friend that you always enjoy having around because you know you’ll get a cheesy joke 100% of the time, and that’s what everybody needs in their life.
That’s a pretty accurate assessment of hanging out with me.
I just purchased one I’m blown away by the gas mileage I averaged 58 per gallon yesterday.
I bought the same exact model. While I dont have power/heated seats, leather, and a sunroof the MPG plus the smart cruise plus the highway drive assist is well worth it. It also has wireless carplay. Love it.
That’s great Christopher, glad you are enjoying yours!

You got that daddy Doug bumper to bumper warranty.
NIce! Sounds like the Palisade checks all of your boxes Clif
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.
“...and let them know I sent you.” But it’s Sonata gonna get you a discount.
It might!
Just purchased a 2021 Hyundai Sonata hybrid SEL, love it! So quiet.
Does it have a one pedal drive mode?
How do you like it 3 years later? I'm considering buying a used 2021 sonata hybrid. Would love any feedback!
@@bl6369 NO issues, I love it.
That is a LOTof carfor
I agree Paul! Its a very wild sound, but its really cool at the same time.
You beat that into the ground, I truly appreciate your dedication.
I sure did. Thank you for tolerating it lol
I always learn so much from your reviews, Elliott. You make everything so interesting and entertaining. Even this vehicle is “Sonata” bad car... lol!
Lol thanks mom! I appreciate that.
"Orange means you'll die if you touch it" I choked on a carrot when you said that. Orange really is the color of death.
So when is Elliot buying a Mazda RX7 or RX8?
The Motary Notary with a Rotary...
My god, yes.
*applause*
Rotary Notary!
I've already had an RX-8, but I should probably get another one just for the joke lol
@@ElliottAlvis Can you fit an RX8 engine in a Malibu Class? I'm gonna guess no, but feel free to prove me wrong.
Right at the very beginning that was me a few hours ago. Got in the gas line at Costco in my GMC Sierra, a Toyota SUV was ahead of me, and we both hit the pumps at the same time. The SUV driver was done and gone at least 2 minutes before I was done. The numbers didn’t really fly by for me, but they certainly did keep going up!
I know what you mean!
"I kinda want to beat the sonata outta you!" ;-) Since you are a dad, we can excuse all the dad jokes!
Haha 😂 that’s a good one though!
At 12:43 you drove past the house I grew up in. I know which city you’re in. I kept saying I know those streets. Haha
Really? That’s awesome! Glad you got to see some streets you recognized Derek! Thanks for watching!
Hey Mr Motary Notary!!! Sonata so bad? I'm overwrought with ambivalence about all these fun puns, I'm Sonata gonna cry 🥴

As always, thanks for sharing another fun video. 👍😁
Thank you Christopher! Great puns yourself! lol
@@ElliottAlvis Thanks man 🙂
So creative with the sound that alerts other people very nice
It’s pretty unique! It sounds very futuristic
That warning sound makes me think of the Macintosh boot chime for some reason
That’s what my dad said too! It’s like an extended version of the Mac gong.
Elliot obviously knows his audience with that hand gesturing piece lmao so true
👌🏻
The only car guy that’s ever got me excited about a hybrid vehicles
Thanks Andrew! That’s a big compliment.
I believe Hyundai makes the best commercial cars on the market.
someone count how many sonata puns he got in
No.
Man, even I don't want to do that. Perhaps a drinking game for later.
Great cars but I hate absolutely everything about the way they did the headlights and "whiskers" coming off of them.
So I’m not the only one who hates that feature
I think that to be a true hybrid it should have a different color door!!! 🤪
Sweet, love these reviews
Thanks Sock!
Actually thinking of buying this exact model. Great video thanks
always great introductions
Thank you!
(me watching) "Oh, geez, he's Sonata gonna stop with the puns, is he?"
My daily driver is a '98 Town Car that's sonata fuel efficient car. However, its sonata going to make me get a new Sonata and have car payments. Payments: its sonata thing I want in my life.
Thanks for sticking with the Sonata theme Michael 😂
Whoever makes the noises for this car needs a raise😂
I agree, its super futuristic and cool!
I’ve really liked these new Hyundai’s. I personally won’t buy a hybrid because of repair cost. I would probably lease one. I love the color on it!
What repairs? Mine hasn’t needed any.
It's actually a great car, Id buy or lease one worry free
Your review is awesome and sonata bad! I have the 2021 hyundai sonata hybrid blue and I love it! I still haven't used all of its features. I'm going on my second month of ownership and I've only put gas in it once and the was when I used only a 1/4 tank.
Wow! That’s incredible. Glad you’re enjoying the car. Thanks for watching!
Highest I've got on my blue was 64mpg doing 60 with summer blend drops alot with winter
I'm sure the people of Kansas LOVE that Mizzou decal
Oh yeah, its a big hit around here 😂
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone defiled the back of your Suburban with a Mizzou Tigers sticker. I hope it doesn't leave a permanent mark...
lol
Sonata fan....
Someone needs to come out and say it. With the possible exception of Aston Martin, Hyundai makes some of the nicest looking production cars on the planet.
Thats a bold statement, but I don't disagree!
Elliott! You missed another chance to throw in a pun at around 9:48. The sonata "blue" the others by a long shot. :)
Ah dangit!
I'm sure the Canadians will say 'So-nay-ta' like when they say 'Meh-zduh' instead of 'Maw-zda' but it's sonata bout how you say the name. It's also sonata bout the quality anymore. HYUNDAI makes good stuff and they back it up with the best warranty.
Did you just pronounce Mazda in a southie Boston accent?
Nice car they have come a long way 👍
I think so too!
Yeah where I love 3.2 a gallon rn in my car the ram 1500 hemi don’t drive much rn because it almost cost me 88 dollars fill up which if I daily drive that’s every 5-6 days so currently my focus been a life saver at the moment.
Nice video sir 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks David!
The first part of this video hit me hard af 🤣
Sonata Hellcat, got it.
The shutdown chime sounds like a Legend of Zelda character being introduced 😆
Lol “symmetry is important “ 💀

lol yep!
I did not know that you are that conscious on fuel savings lol. It makes a big difference to our 🌎.
It can make a big difference
Elliot you should try the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid I was shocked how good it is.
Yes! I am excited to try out the Ioniq
I was thinking he stole JR's rental car...no, Sonata rental car....but then I was thinking he bought that with the Hellcat money? No, Sonata owner either....
Very nice the dealer let you showcase their Sonata Hybrid...maybe next time, you can showcase a Hybrid, since this is Sonata Hybrid...

Earned a like and follow for all the senata jokes lol
Otherwise great video I enjoyed it. Tons of info
Ya sonata very good to have a traditional transmission , I’ve seen them fail in low mile Hyundai’s quite often , because the clutches cant take the electric TQ !! Toyota if you want long term reliability
the repair bills on the hybrid system won’t be sonota so good tho
What repairs? They already have a great warranty and my Fusion Hybrid with 58k on it has had no repairs of any kind yet.
I am very impressed with the price
I was too! It's a lot of car for the money.
Sonata quantity of puns I was expecting 😁
😂😂😂😂
Any chance you can review the 2021 Elantra Hybrid?
I'm sure I can, but considering how poorly this video did... I'm not sure if I want to 😂
@@ElliottAlvis I hope you can. Thank You
Sonata Hybrid Blue seems like a lotta car for the money.
BTW: just curious if they sell men's shirts where you got yours? That one is Sonata masculine color.
Very nice looking car. But people say it doesn't feel like quality when driving it, like a Toyota does. I'll have to try one and see for myself.....
Like... it's Sonata blue dress Elliot?
Exactly Shawm
It’s alright
Goddamn Dad jokes. Fine I'll sub.
That webb and 96 intersection is such a pain! Really all 96 intersections suck
It is a tough one. Especially when a pedestrian needs to cross!
@@ElliottAlvis they better sonata be crossing that intersection!
I’m admittedly triggered by the different fonts on the trunk. 🤨
Sorry for pointing it out! lol
It would Sonata be bad to have a pina colada and gotta hit a piñata.
How many miles did you get before the empty light came on (or what was your MPG during your test)?
There's no reason for a separate trim level. All Sonatas should be made like that one if it's what they're considering to be their best version.
I'm interested in the vehicle... what about taller drivers? I'm 6'4 and I'm looking to hopefully go from a Subaru forester to a hybrid due to my commute to work

You’re right! Lol. It’s a bold sticker to have around these parts.
So it’s Sonata Japanese Car? It’s Korean? I like the newer models. My wife drives one. It’s Sonata White, it’s Sonata Blue.
lol thanks for sticking with the theme Scot
0-40 according to his video is 6 seconds about please correct me if I’m wrong
No you’re right
I might've gone a touch above 40... lol
So when people buy these in spite of the KIA Hyundai open recall for being fire hazards, are you buying them replacement vehicles when this happens?
they have no recalls. Let's not forget about Toyota and Honda fire recalls
I bet Scotty has a hand gesture for you... 🙂 Analog gauges in an electric hybrid ? C'mon Hyundai, Lincoln had the digital dash back in the early 90's. Instantaneous mpg, that was fun...

Elliott SONATA shy of dropping a good dad joke
I'm sure not, I beat this dad joke into the ground
@6:51 I think I spot a super rare navy blue Chevy Malibu Class in the background. Very hard for the Sonata to compete with such a beast!
A keen eye!
Malibu BLUE
This video now gives us a interesting propersition. If you are in the market for a Hybrid/EV, is it worth spending the 20% more to buy a Model 3 over one of these?
In the Netherlands we pronounce it Hee-Jun-daii. Lol.
I'm confused, is it a hybrid, or it's not a hybrid?
It's Sonata Hybrid

It's like a battery operated Fork Lift truck for sound.
Kind of!

Haha, thank you Patrick! That means a lot
Just bought one 2 weeks ago
Sweet! Enjoy it, they are awesome cars!
If I ever get a Hyundai Sonata, I would never let a Sonata-nosed kid ride in it, and that's Sonata joke.
When comparing mpg I swear you were going to say the Sonata "blue" them out of the water, but seems like you decided not to.
Here today, but it's Sonata Toyota..
Heyo, thats the kind of pun comment I was looking for
Sonata Hybrid? I barely knew'er... wait.
After a while it sounded like you were doing a bad Italian accent. 🤣
😂
Puns will Sonata ever get old
That’s good Jeff. Because I pounded this pun into the ground lol
Whose driving around in kansas with a mizzou sticker?! That's sacrilege.
It’s a risky move. That’s for sure.
Do Hyundai still have their engine quality problems? I was considering used 2013/14 i30s (Elantra GT) but it seems like around that time they were having engine issues on the petrol engines. Shame as Hyundai/Kia make some great looking cars. Hopefully they’ve got it together for the newer ones.
The only thing I don't like about this car is Sonata sitting in my driveway! :-)
The EV creep sound is like the old Mac startup chime...
