the Koreans are stepping up their automotive game
That trim level is offered by my local dealership with a $6,200 discount off MSRP. You won't find a Camry or an Accord with that kind of discount. I personally own a 2015 Sonata. For the price and features, the 2018 is a great value. Drive it hard and keep it in the family and you won't have to be concerned with depreciation being a factor.
I also agree. I may get a 2018 with a deep discount.
Which trim are they offering for $6k off?
Sounds like a good philosophical approach to car ownership.
the Camry has the best resale value for a mid size sedan.
stvnburg what makes you think the Camry will last 2 times longer then a Hyundai? I’ve had them all my life in my family and also work in the automotive industry and have seen more issues with Toyota’s then Hyundai’s on top of that poor operations on keeping cars up to point.
The Sonata is hands down my favorite sedan for 2018. Hyundai dealers are known to give good discounts, so the money you save with the Camry's better gas mileage is more than made up for by a much lower Sonata real world cost. I love the German designed style of the Sonata and their reliability is now rated as good as or better than Honda. I hate the Toyota styling on almost all of their new "edgy" vehicles. I don't want a car as ugly as the Camry or Corolla to last for 20 years. I want a German designed, Korean built sedan that is a work of industrial art, not an evil looking cartoon character car from another planet.
Agreed...!!! Hyundai has certainly upped there game BIG TIME for this new 2018 model Sonata. It's very "Audish" in it's styling something that the new Camry can't compete with. I'm just not a fan of there big plastic front grills. And i've NEVER been a fan of the Honda Accord's exterior or interior.
Looks to be a great car. Interior room and cargo space make a huge difference in everyday use, and this looks to have plenty.
I've seen the car in person. The more I look at it the more I grow to like it. Still like the front of my '17 Sonata Hybrid better but the rear on the '18 looks sleeker.
just picked my 2018 Sonata SEL up the other day! Loving it, it's got everything I need and it drives great.
You dont find the Sonata to be too big? It is a big car ... in my opinion.
Hows it now ?
I put some new tires on mine and like it much more. The tires on there are not good. They are $84 each -- a good tire costs around $130-180. I live in MICHIGAN so I got some all weather.
Dave, your reviews are always topnotch. You're truly a gem in a sea of bad car reviewers on UA-cam.
i have a 2015.. i love it.... i can say that cause 116,000 miles later,, no issues at all..
another big bonus, spare tire area holds a full size tire with a stock rim on it.... no more small spare for me....
How many miles does it have now?
Have you ever had an induction cleaning performed? To clean the intake valves?
Gorgeous, and not too much fluff like the ugly Camry.
The 2.4 engine performs very well for a car this big.
Sonata trunks are hella big its like storage unit lmao
Always enjoy your reviews Dave, regardless of the car.
Such a handsome car
Kangwei Tan this made me LOL
Solid review Dave! I love my 2008 Sonata, when she finally kicks it, I think a good hard look at the 2018 Eco is on my list!
I have the 2.0T
Bought one 2 months ago
It has a 8 speed auto for the turbo
I have the options except navi
Brian Kim how much u get it for out the door?
Mitul Jariwala $28,900 I leased mine
Mitul Jariwala I filmed it
Hyundai is getting a better and better reputation. I sure am glad we have another option besides the Japanese and American cars. It's really impressive where they have come since that old junky Excel.
I watched both this report by Dave Erickson and that of the Mazda 6 and came away disillusioned about his reports You can tell that he is biased against the Sonata although he finds no real fault with it. Consider some of what he said: That the Sonata is a good 'commuter car' indicates that he thinks the Mazda 6 is something else. That is a negative comment. The exterior straight line design of the Sonata is refined compared to the Mazda 6 which design reveals a sagging line aft of the front fender. The dashboard is far more elegant in the Sonata as are the steering wheel mounted controls. Sonata uses well-marked piano type switches, Mazda has a few old-fashioned push-in switches. The opened hood on the Mazda is held in place with a steel rod, hydraulic cylinders on the Sonata. You can get side window shades from Sonata, not from Mazda. Bright metal exhaust tips on Sonata, hack-sawed exhaust pipes on Mazda. Sonata has an unequaled warantee. Sonata's prices are lower on each of its cars however similarly equipped. I also noticed that Dave told us that the front, side and rear of the Sonata are all new. We know that Mazda style was introduced 3 years ago. What's going on, Dave?
Thank you for this video...seriously considering this vehicle, the Sport edition.
Good review as always Dave. But to me, design wise, Hyundai kinda downgraded. I believe the previous generation looked much better.
If you like bland styling yeah that was the previous
I agree
I like the 17 and the 18
wow! really? I think 2018 is better better than 2017.
I remember when Hyundai introduced their 2010 Sonata. Many critics claimed the styling would "age" quickly. Now, eight years later, critics are saying that the 2010 styling was better. I disagree.
Very nice car. They stepped up there game big time
I used to sell Hyundai back in 2011-2013 and just got my first one.. 2018 Sonata sport 2.0T.. Black on black.. nice sporty ride, and Hyundai had tons of rebates. I drove a 2015 Mazda 6 for last three years. I would recommend both cars.. I totaled the Mazda last month and would go back to it.. but the new 2.5T in the Mazda 6 was too exp. With the rebates you cant beat the value of the new Sonata turbo!
I have the 2017 sonata sport. Great , comfortable and beautiful car. Camry is overrated because Toyota doesn't want to cater to buyers like me by offering Android auto. I average 35 mpg on eco mode, similar to what I was getting with my 2014 Mazda 3 sport. I'm pretty stoked and plus the great warranty.
Thank you for mentioning the lack of map pocket behind driver seat. I don’t know why some cars don’t have it. My OCD kicks in and it’s not practical or symmetrical
Correction. The 2.0T engine gets the 8 speed trans. New for 2018
2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T+ (the very hard to find and highly sought after, now certified used, mid-year refresh with the panoramic sunroof) owner here, bought it 4 months ago with only 12,000 miles on it, basically a three year old new car! The one person who “owned” it was a 72 yr old man who leased it and took really great care of it. Rarely drove it, obviously with that low mileage. And kept the interior in pristine condition, the protective films were even still on all the interior lights! I can say from personal experience, this top of the line Sonata trim is absolutely fantastic! It’s a sexy, sleek, luxury looking sedan with all the bells & whistles you might want, even for today’s standards. I’m really very impressed with this car, it looks similar to any of the much higher priced actual luxury sedans and rides like a dream too. I haven’t found one thing to complain about, honestly.
With the trend of sedans having sloping backs, I wish someone would offer it with a hatchback. It would be way more practical and give us an alternative to the ubiquitous suv. The only choices are expensive: bmw gran coupe, audi sportback, Kia stinger.
Nice car, bad snow!
I have a 2017 Sonata SE. And although I like the looks very much I also like the '18 Sonata. But Hyundai did change a few things for '18 that I don't like.
The storage below the climate control no longer has a cover that closes. Anything stored there is open to prying eyes.
The CD player is gone. Probably for good. Which means I have to convert all my music to mp3 and play it through the USB port. And with the USB port occupied I cannot use android auto.
But otherwise I think the Sonata is still a pretty cool family sedan.
Looks nice. Have their been any issues with the GDI Engine that they are using?
I own a 2017 Sonata sport I think it looks way better than the 2018 especially the front grille
MAC ACRZ: looks are subjective, but i kind of prefer this grill on the Sonata than i do the Elantra. but the body style on the Sonata is still the same. i didn't have a problem with the other grill, but i do think this grill is more attractive. it reminds me of an Audi, because the body style has a similar shape.
I like grill on the SEL and Limited better than the Sport.
I agree! I think the 2017 exterior is nicer.
I have the 18' sport and picked the sport because I liked the exterior better. Just goes to show everyone's opinions are different. I absolutely love that honey comb looking grill and the dark chrome trim. I personally don't like the earlier backend. I absolutely love my car 100%
That's bc it's does. I don't know WTF Hyundai was thinking redesigning
This was an excellent review. Keep up the good work!
I hate that they killed the panoramic roof option, I love them. Compared to the 15-17 models, these sport models doesn't look sporty at all to me. It'll take me some time to get used to this models design. They still look weird. Look at the new Azera, not that's beautiful!
The 2011-2013 Sonata models had the best looking body and interior, especially the sport. This isn’t that bad but those models aged better. Only thing with the current one is more features like sensors standard and back not the front and side.
Why were the front map lights LED but the back dome lights still a standard bulb
Hi Dave thanks for the review ! Did you ever try the Sonata Eco?
My wife got one for $18 500 as a 2017 model ( Wich I believe is a great deal), we got an Amazing 45 mpg Highway regularly (on Eco mode 70 mph cruise). The car does have a lot of torque and a really good peak up wich was the good surprise.
We tried the new accord and the new Camry both good but they felt less comfortable for some reason and were about an additional $7k.
Talking about the accord any review coming soon?
Which dealer did you get yours from? That's a really good deal
Thanks, you made me make a decision that i was stuck on.
Thanks for the great information. I will buy
Maybe it's me, but I hate that popping the trunk doesn't open the hood all the way to its max, kinda defeats the purpose.
I'm glad that Canada still gets the panoramic roof. Stupid they didn't add the around view camera seeing as the optima has had it since 2016 year.
car like that just dont need it, now suvs and cars with bad visibility like a camaro can benefit from it
Party up .. the don’t so far but they had a big recall on issues within engine intervals somthing about the crankshaft journals look into that report before you buy it
7 trim levels...........
Great review, meh car. Good value, however. Disappointed they got rid of the pano sunroof for '18... And I'm no fan of cars that have grilles that take up the "entire front of the car", if you know what I mean... Lexus, Cadillacs, some newer Hyundai models, etc.
The pano roof had problems with creaking noises that were caused by flexing between the carbon fiber pano roof frame and steel car body. I had a 2015 that they couldn't fix and I finally got rid of the car...yes the noise was THAT bad!
Does anypne know how to make that fog light or accent light on bottom bumper glow with pattern? Is it for only turbo model or theres a way to operate it? Thanks.
8 speed trans in my 18 sport 2.0
This "Everyman" wants the affordable trim minus a sunroof, oh well. If the Sport has a reasonable discount then this looks pretty great. Good info though, want a long term reliable car with comfort.
How is the driver seat on the comfort side? I have back trouble. Thank you
The SEL and above trims have adjustable lumbar and front rear tilt for the seat.
Everyman driver nice review. We might get one just like that Bless you but is that your car because you should be in a better car than that
7 trims that’s not necessary
better fuel economy
ya because Hyundai is building good solid cars now.
Agreed...!!! A base, Sport, and 2.0T would have been sufficient. I'm not including Hybrids because there in a completely different category.
nah sel is best bang for buck trim
People like options. Everyone is different.
I have the 2017 is almost the same. Great Car by the way.
How is the audio, does it have good base sound like the Nissan ?
They made it look like the elantra... fail
Fake appellation agree
The stock tires are garbage and affect the drive especially in turns.
I got rid of mine within first week and replaced with General Altimax
Is the interior bigger? Looks like 2015 Sonata is slightly smaller ?
Alan Pak It's the same as the 2015. It's basically and front/ rear, and dash lift.
p.s. also I am very impressed with this review - how informative but also quick and to the point
Chevy Cruze rear and a Kia front end. Looks more comparable to Civic size car.
Damn, snow in Spokane already!
not a big fan of paddle shifters????/ to you I say .. GOOD DAY SIR!!! >:(
Spare tire, or spare wheel? 😉
Those wheels straight from the Ford Fusion
mpg sucks compared to a camry and accord.
it's still good though.
I get 26 mpg city and 40 mpg highway in my 2015 Sonata. I would say that's pretty good.
You can get the sonata eco which has 28 mpg city 38 mpg highway
Dave I will like to know what car you own and why you bought it. Recently I am looking for a Jeep Patriot 2012(or some well close), but I still have a Mazda 3 2009 I like to know your opinion and suggestion. Also I would like to thank you for your work and your reviews I have learn a lot thanks Dave.
Stay away from the patriot. I have never met anyone that likes it after living with it for any period of time. Slow excelerartion, very cheaply made, trans problems,. Look at an older CRV, or Mazda CX-5. If you want a good reliable suv. Or better yet a subaru
The Patriot is not that bad of a vehicle. Stay away from the CVT though. We have a 07 Patriot with the 5 speed and we love ours. I am also part of a patriot group and people on that love their patriots and they up grade them as well. They lift them and all sorts of things. We are a Jeep family my daily driver is a 02 Grand Cherokee. And we love our Jeeps. But you go get what you want. All vehicles take maintenance.
Wait to you have to use the warranty and they keep telling you they can't find anything wrong with the car as the engine is knocking just because the check engine light isn't on. These cars will leave you in a dangerous situation and I'll never buy one again. Just complete cheap crap.
search it hyundai kia sudden acceleration....
Dave! Please do 2018 Honda Accord! Please!
8 speed... not 6
Thanks for commenting on my video from 2 1/2 years ago. I apologize for misspeaking.
Nice Hyundai Soso ❤❤
It's an ok car. I'd rather get a Camry though. You get better gas mileage, room, a smoother ride, much better reliability.
It's best to spend the extra 2,000 up front and get a more substantial car.
Brian Lawrance true
Brian Lawrance the new camry is fire this year. but in the past years dull as hell. have you bought a recent built Korean car the build is a lot more Superior than Japanese models. i had a 2014 soul and everything works nothing looks cheap. now i have a 2017 crv and umm i can see a lot of cut corners and cheapness. my advice test drive them both
Toyota fanboy
sportsMike87 . I'm just a wise buyer. I like to get the best car for my money, and Toyota gives you exactly that and more.
Brian Lawrance Camrys are fine for people who view cars as appliances. But if you have any sense of style, you wouldn't be round dead in a Camry.
Im gonna by this one!!!!!!
Mr john cena on drugs
Very nice
very good car for every one
he need his review in sunny places.
Not winter times...
not cool ....
Snow make it not appealing for reviews
6-speed slush box puts it two gears behind King Camry, 4 gears behind Honda Accord.
This cost-cutting will show itself in acceleration and fuel economy.
I think Toyota is right here. 8 is enough. 10 is too much. 6 not enough.
Nissan TitanWarrior The amount of gears on a transmission does not determine how well it performs based on the applications
What are you babbling about? Cars with more gears can accelerate faster and/or get better fuel economy, usually both, over a car with fewer gears. that's why there are no more 4 speed automatics. The only downside to adding 10 gears transmissions to all cars is the cost of development and the diminishing returns over an 8-speed, for example. CVTs have infinite gears for this very reason.
The review is actually wrong. The turbo gets a new 8 speed auto.
Z Mich ... true the Sonata turbo gets an 8 spd tranny but Dave is testing the Sonata Sport 2.4 in this video. So this one has a 6 spd. Which is fine for a car like this.
Nissan TitanWarrior don't defend cvts. Sonata turbo has an 8 speed and the Honda Accord only has a 10 speed auto in the top trim. Cvt is the standard and again cvts are garbage to drive. I'd rather get a sti ck and drive through city traffic all day than deal with a whiny cvt
There is nothing "premium" about that car!
I wonder what the Europeans think about the Hyundai Sonata? They drive classy cars, I wonder how the Sonata holds up against their Passats ?
It look like the 2013 ford fusion on crack.
So I can fit the body of a large male in the trunk. Good to know.
Looks alike as the Chevrolet Impala
Their brother kia makes better looking cars
👍🏻
Exterior design is not appealing compared to the Japanese competitors. Interior design looks relatively cheap. Performance is not up there as the Japanese counter parts. The sale? You know how it plays out....
The exterior redesign is absolutely hideous!
How do you figure that...? It looks almost like an Audi for god sake especially the front grille. Toyota or Honda sure as hell can't say that about there sedan re-designs. I guess if your a fan of huge plastic looking front grilles they would be better...(g)
