Been watching a lot of car reviews lately, you by far have won my vote for best car reviewer the fact that you have video of both cars being compared at the same time... pure genius. Great review, well done.
Fuel economy is great on the Sonata. Resale value is a myth for current generation Hyundais (the Sonata will be cheaper when you buy it!). 100k miles warrnty is the best in the auto industry.
The chrome on the headlights was the stupidest thing I've ever seen done on a car. Hyundai will always be garbage to me. Plus I was able to get my accord in a manual and I paid under 25k for a 2.0 sport.
Think about durability which hyundai does not have so they have to make up with all kinds of shit that don't matter when you're broken down on the side of the road! 🤣 🤣 🤣 For those of us that value our money, Honda is the way to go!
@@johnnadeau6204 I got the top of the line one. It gets good mpg. Its comfortable. I like the seats. It has enough power. I also like when I get out of it I don't bump my knee like the new accord. There is no other car in this price range that has all the things this does. Also like the warranty. I also really like this Hyundai dealer they are super on it.
@@johnnadeau6204 The things I don't like I wish it had dual exhaust tips. I wish at least the top of the front window was tinted. They're pretty minor things I'll just have them done aftermarket.
When I first saw the Accord, I hated it initially, but there looks has grown on me. When I first saw the sonata I was in love with it initially, but its looks has begun to lose me
@@stanmarcusgtv please search up 2015 hyundai sonata and then 2015 honda accord they have both lost around 10k in value after 5 years and there's on like a 1k-2k difference between the two cars, idk what information you are looking at but yea
Car Confections!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!! I asked for THIS review after you guys reviewed the Sonata a few weeks ago AND HERE IT IS!!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!
That’s what makes me mad!!! Honda can do a lot but they are not doing it, there are other countries that they offer 360 camera and panoramic sunroof, as well rear charging ports. Honda has to step up.
Honda also as an Acura lineup that they need to consider ahead of stocking the Accord with some missing goodies such as SH-AWD. As it’s due for a refresh later this year, I’d be interested in a retest this time next year
@@NinoNlkkl The 2.5T going in the N-Line and N-Premium has 289HP, but the N-Performance should be getting the Stinger/G70s V6 TT- but with the power worked up further to at least 390HP
Loretta Maskovy and I don’t think that they would bring back the v6 and won’t it be a lot more expensive if they put that much power I’m still surprised that there putting 290hp in the N line and shouldn’t they release a EV version of the Sonata don’t u think it would sell well
They haven’t done a refresh so you shouldn’t expect anything different from the 2018... I don’t know why they market it as the 2020 because people see it as a new release.
Hater which Honda you are talking about, Accord? If so, it is a better car than not only this Hyundai but all of the KOurean, European and American cars. So be happy that you have an option for a high quality car from Honda. Otherwise you are stuck with the crooks whop rig their cars ECU's.
Hyundai absolutely killed it with this year's Sonata. The tech alone is unheard of in a sedan of its class. They've raised the bar and it's up to the other brands to catch up.
Hey guys, I think you should do a review when the N-line Sonata drops against this 2.0T Accord. I think it would be a much more fair comparison in terms of performance.
@@Nonyashyt You would not put another family sedan against a dedicated sports car like the Civic Type R. The sport accord has insane amount of torque and is a good comparison

@@gregsolovieff6711 paddles? Again... garbage.... what's wrong with a real stick? Again honda will always dominate over any Kia or Hyundai. I paid under 33k for a touring honda again is best for me.
Honda and Toyota have much better resale value and durability. I'd never buy a hundia or Kia product even though there styling of there suvs are very good looking .
You must think BMW interiors are trash. Lol. I like the Accord. And Hondas just feel great to drive and operate. Wish it has the 360 degree camera though.
Just purchased a 2020 Accord Sport 2.0 in Toronto Ontario Canada two weeks ago and we are loving this so much, the few things pointed out to make Sonata win make no difference in my choice, and don't regret. Only wished Honda made sport model more horsepower, HPD body kit, and adaptive suspension... otherwise it's and awesome car and very fast, you don't need a faster, more comfortable, more, sporty, more gadgets, etc...it's just awesome.
Yeah honda isn't trying to trick people into buying a car with a usb type c in the back seat area. More like hey overall your gonna enjoy driving this car with a 10 speed automatic
Jimmie Jefcoat even though it’ll be released this year it will be considered a 2021 model which is when the refresh for the Honda Accord should occur. So that would be a more fair comparison.
Very true. I noticed I could hear the guy's voice more clearly in the Sonata versus the Accord. My 2005 Hyundai elantra seemed like it has less road noise than the nearly $40K Accord. Honda sucks when it comes to their sound proofing.
Love my sonata, what little time I've actually been able to drive it since buying it on March 11th! Sel plus with tech package and turbo in glowing yellow! 😍😍😍
You have to add at least 5 points that the Accord is also available with a manual and deduct 5 points from the Sonata because it looks like a catfish in the front! Great vid guys!
I just bought 2020 Accord Sport dispite what many people on UA-cam say, and I'm loving it, I love the rear end of the Sonata but front looks weird to me. What is missing from most reviews is how Honda design stand test of time except for a few accords that had rounded shape. Plus my family and now my wife and I have been buying Honda products for over 40 years and they always improve on the products based on Mr Honda's philosophy.
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t, at first I didn’t like it much but now it’s grown on me like big time I love it! Also keep in mind resale value Honda’s hold their value big time
@@HJChoi-qk9nh toyota i agree, but honda.. idk man my uncle crv's 1.5t was chugging oil a bit too much, forced him to take some times to claim the warranty
8:30 You could've given half point to the Accord because it has tuning knob and hard buttons, something Yuri and Jakub from the straightpipes complained about in the Sonata that is lacking
I test drove a Sonata Limited trim today, I loved it! All of it! Except the power. It felt anemic. I drive a 2013 2.0T Sonata, not a great deal but it feels more powerful than the 1.6T. I'll hold off until the N-Line. PS: Looks way better in person, especially in white.
Can't wait for the N-line to come out.. will be most powerful non luxury sedan in market.. and possibly most luxurious and feature filled.. with best warranty
As expected! Sonata hands down!! Can't wait for the Sonata N-Line to come out. But I'm anticipating on the new 2021 Kia Optima! Same technology as the Sonata but looks more sportier than the Sonata in my opinion. Also, it's coming out with an AWD GT model! It's already being released in South Korea.
I love the feature-set of the Hyundai, and in a video like this it definitely feels like Hyundai wins, but across the board Hyundais just don't age very well. Sure they have a great warranty, but you really NEED that warranty because they typically tend to have a lot of midlife problems. With a Honda...the things just last for-freakin-ever. This would be a hard choice for me honestly, but I would probably accept the feature loss and go with the Honda just because I know I could trust it, and my local dealer adds a lifetime powertrain warranty to their Hondas. EDIT: I know this is totally opinion, but the exterior design of the Accord definitely looks way nicer to me than the Sonata. Much better stance, much more premium looking design, etc. The Interior of the Sonata is the opposite though. That dash is really nice looking.
@@Hickeroar Not necessarily, true. Hyundai and Kia are building cars a lot better, thanks to German Engineers And Designer Peter Schryer and Albert Beirmann. One of my good friends drives a 2015 Honda Accord and the interior already looks old. I remember owning a 2008 Acura TL and I had cracks all over my dashboard. The dealer charged me almost $2K to replace the whole dash. I currently drive a 2018 fully loaded Hyundai Elantra and aging very well. And I get a lot of compliments on how new my car looks and the up keep on the interior. Even a friend of mine who drives a Corolla was like man, I wish my car had this or that. Hyundai and Kia are no longer basic crappy cars from the 90's and 00's. It has really improved on the style and technology. But my gripe with Honda is why they didn't add a Panoramic roof to their Accords? Hyundai and Kia were the first non luxury family cars to have that feature. Toyota finally got on board and add one as an optional feature. But I just think people just can't get over the Hyundai and Kia names due their past reputations. But you have to admit, with all the tech features Hyundai and Kia is dishing out. It's very price competitive. That parking feature is only reserved for cars like the Tesla or German luxury cars. To have Hyundai/Kia implement that to their cars is mind blowing! Hyundai/Kia already won in my book. When the 2021 Kia Optima is released later this year, I'm definitely trading my car in for that.
I do not understand how people are saying the accord looks better than the sonata. I would rather have the catfish grill and civic/Volvo taillights of the Sonata and have more features and a better warranty versus the Accord which looks like the foreheads of the 1000 lb sisters with that bulging front grill and that red upside down stapler rear end.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 If the Sonata was an Accord, people will buy it. But they are salty because it's a "Hyundai". People really needs to get over themselves. Koreans are kicking ass and taking names.
www.google.com/amp/s/www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2019/11/most-reliable-car-brands-consumer-reports.html/%3famp ....Shows most reliable brands.. Hyundai is ahead of Honda in every list.. Hyundai and Kia most improved car brands overall..if you like I can send more links for proof.😁
@@dinkdikka4445 true older Honda's and Toyota's are longggg lasting cars but over last 5 years Hyundai is pretty much on par with them.. and I have a 2017 Camry and a 2018 sonata.. the sonata is actually better quality and more fun to drive..
Anything over a Honda cause their customer service, sales, service department,specialized mechanics, and supervisors can easily neglect you behind those vehicles- so their 3 years bumper to bumper warranty isn’t really 3 years when they turn their backs at you or you’ll need a lawyer just for them to honor the basic minimum warranty
Accord=Iphone Sonata=Samsung Both great vehicles you have to choose which is right for you. However the Accord like an Iphone is really easy to resell and you'll get more trade-in value with similar miles.
I honestly like the traditional blind spot monitoring that the new ones have. I have a 9th gen accord and the cameras are pretty much useless when it rains and water covers the lens also in most dim conditions its hard to gage the position of the vehicle on your blind spot. But i guess to each his own
Honda is using cvts. Hyundai is using automatics. No matter who makes a cvt, it will always be garbage. But yes honda makes the greatest engines in the world
They just merged with Chevy thats a win for Hyundai now and im willing to bet that the longer warranty also mean the company trust their build. Shorter warranty shows lack of trust so Hyundai wins there also
I bought 2011 sonata and at that time I didn’t knew the importance of warranty. I didn’t do a single service till I sold it in 2018. Only tire, filters and oil change. I own restaurants and bought food items in extreme bulk. I used my sonata to it’s full capacity and still not a single time it gave me a hard time. In 2016, I got a recall and upon visiting dealer they said that Hyundai changed engines in 2016 so instead of changing something in 2011 sonata engine, they would change the entire engine for free (and provided Elantra for four months for free while they fix new engine). I had 73k miles on Sonata at that time. Dealer said that they will honor my warranty since my car was 4 years 10 months in and under 100k. I got unbelievable price return because of the fact that entire engine has been changed after 73k. I became lifetime fan of Hyundai and now own 2019 Santa Fe with all the confidence in brand. Few of my friends own Honda (2011)and Camry (2012)but they also had to accept that Hyundai is a underdog and they even bought Hyundai as their second car in 19 and 20. Sonata’s reliability is unbelievable.
The Honda Accord touring 2.0l. More fun to drive as a reputation. It looks great. I made some videos about the accord. I hope I get a chance to try the Hyundai. Please do a driving videos. I like the tail light on Hyundai. Great video keep it up.
15:00 the entry Accord 2019 1.5T has 192hp and 30/40 mpg. and costs around 26K out the door. mine is awesome .great accel mpg ride comfort and powerful small motor. the future.
I still don't trust Hyundai's build quality. I've known the brand since the 90's and their cars were never durably made. Couple that with new, gimmicky, unproven tech and I become even more apprehensive about the brand. Plus, they've always lifted the designs of other cars, which they continue to do to this day. I remember they had a Sonata, back in the early to mid 2000's, which was almost a mirror image of a Jaguar XJ sedan of similar timeline. These days they've become even more emboldened with an amalgamation of multiple manufacturers' designs in both their Hyundai and Genesis brands.
I appreciate your channel and the in depth with you do, and while I do like Hyundai, but it still has a long long way to go to match the quality and durability of a Honda. Remember, electronic bells and whistles do not give us a car that can live beyond +250K miles.
I have 2 sonatas both have over 360 both still run neither gave me nothing more than basic ware and tare brakes oil transmission fluid at proper intervals
Great in depth comparison Drew and Mason. Hyundai is definitely bringing their A game with new Sonata. However, proven reliability, resale value, fit and finish and power under hood are most important to me when considering a vehicle purchase. I am not going to purchase either of these but I have no problem with paying a little more a month for proven quality and reliability. In my opinion, decades of proven performance and reliability make Toyota and Honda still remain King in those categories for non-luxury brand midsize sedans. Time will tell if Hyundai can dethrone them.
In a way Hyundai already has. The Hyundai has a longer warranty than the Toyota, and the Honda, which means if the Hyundai breaks down on you, then Hyundai will take care of you, and I've done brief research on the maintenance and repair costs on Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, and Hyundai is cheaper compared in maintenance and repairs than the Toyota, and Honda.
That is great! Since 2012 my Honda Accord has not broken down or needed mechanical service other than normal routine maintenance based on mileage (oil change, transmission fluid change, new tires.) and that is how I like it ❤️😁
@@valjune I like that too, and I'm not taking anything away from Honda, and Toyota in terms of reliability, but I am saying don't underestimate Hyundai.
You’re right 100% ,Hyundai and Kia are cars for 200000 km after that,problems coming out. Those Gdi engine have so many problems,they’re god for gas but still with the same problem like 2.4 l or 2.0 t ,engine stall,engine on fire cause of pistons,road bearings wearing out to early…the same issues from 2011 to 2021 . Turbo engine costly to repair…my opinion is Toyota better option even if you are paying little more.
Y’all keep talking about how good the sonata is until its GDI engine starts to have carbon buildup right after the warranty at 100k. That’s thousands of dollars to clean
I think the sonata is gorgeous and it will be refreshing to see on the road in comparison to the accord, I am tired of seeing accords everywhere. Whether it be the new or the old models.
I leave your comparison videos with all the info I need except for one thing, how do the 2 cars compare regarding comfort and isolation. Otherwise, Your comparison videos are really good. Informative and to the point.
Great review! I appreciate calm, reasonable and very clear comments provided. Most reviewers are so hyped up like they drank 10 liters of coffee before presenting cars. Good job! Well done! You can expand your comparison comparing tech in both cars: how accurate and smooth is ACC; how accurate are parking sensors; etc. etc.
Since the Sonata gets a point for costing 3800 ~ less than the Accord. I wonder which would have the better resale value. I guess the Accord has the better resale value and I would thus give it points for that. Both great cars and I don't know which I'd buy. I especially like great sounding audio, so that's a factor. Good review.
The Sonata is the better value. Thousands cheaper, better warranty so you have more years to drive worry-free, more standard features on all trims even the base, all safety features are standards as well and the 360 camera view or blindspot and self parking usually only founs in top trim BMW, Audi and Mercedes are the best features as well. The 18inch tires on the Sonata will make the drive smooth instead of the Accords 19 whicha have a very thin sidewall and will make the drive on rough roads very uncomfortable and the cabin louder. Sonata also has double glass to block road sounds. Sonata has heated steering wheel and large panoramic sunroof. The longer warranty alone means the car is basically solid. If anything was to break you havr a big window to get the dealership to fix it. Yes Accord nust like thr Camry has veen aroung longer so established a name but since 2011 Hyundai and KIA has been putting out great cars. I'd but the Sonata. Besides, nobody wants to keep a car more than 10 years before getting bored and buying a newer car. We're talking 2030 there might be way more advaced and that's about the time Sonata's warranty will be running out. Honda will be out by 2025 so after paying all that money, the owner will be on their own. Lol
The Sonata's 181hp falls far behind the Camry (301hp), Accord (252hp), Mazda 6 (250hp), and the Altima (248hp). The exterior is hit and miss for me but the interior design and next gen technology is a home run. The upcoming Hyundai Sonata N is supposed to offer 290hp so that might be worth checking out.
Full disclosure, when I first saw the all new Sonata, I thought Hyundai was overcompensating and went overboard w/ the redesign. However, after seeing this side by side comparison, I applaud Hyundai for taking a risk w/ its mainstay. The latest Sonata is certainly a looker, the digital key card, and the park assist certainly sets the Sonata apart. The 10.25in. head unit is integrated into the dash perfectly and actually looks like it belongs there. The display looks right at home in the Palisade, but Hyundai pulled it off in the Sonata. Drew and Mason, another exceptional side by side comparison. It would be awesome if you reviewed a 2020 Volvo S90 on your channel to see what's new for Volvo's flagship sedan, S90 might not be popular in Lexington.
I was completely disappointed after seeing the Sonata in person... It looks great on camera but in person it honestly still doesn’t compete with Honda or Toyota as far as looks/quality goes.
HEY CAR CONFECTIONS (notification) SQUAD! We appreciate you! You're the BEST!
Car Confections Isn’t honda accord also have heated steering wheel tho?
@@HieuNguyen-un7iw no its actually a accessory you can mount on any accord model. Think its 200 or 300$.
I disagree with how low you scored the Honda. Why didn't you compare a 1.5t touring instead of the 2t?
You don`t do sound tests with bluetooth streaming I hope. That would be really amateur :)
Saved By_Grace bc the only way you can get an Accord Touring is with the 2.0T or CVT.

Sonata offers double layered glasses for front windshield and the front door windows this is not offered in other competitors

Love my sonata, what little time I've actually been able to drive it since buying it on March 11th!
Sel plus with tech package and turbo in glowing yellow! 😍😍😍
Just picked my SEL-Plus in quartz white last week. No regrets whatsoever.
Love that yellow color. Wish they offered it on the limited trim.
You have to add at least 5 points that the Accord is also available with a manual and deduct 5 points from the Sonata because it looks like a catfish in the front! Great vid guys!
A manual that no one buys. Plus the manual is not a good manual.
@@TheSkullknight12 No one buys because dealers never order them in. A "BAD" manual is still way better than a decent automatic
@@krisscott8151 so rowing through a manual that feels like mash potatoes are better than a good auto. Yeah, okay 😑
@@TheSkullknight12 You're kidding youself if you think the Accord's manual feels that way.
I just bought 2020 Accord Sport dispite what many people on UA-cam say, and I'm loving it, I love the rear end of the Sonata but front looks weird to me. What is missing from most reviews is how Honda design stand test of time except for a few accords that had rounded shape. Plus my family and now my wife and I have been buying Honda products for over 40 years and they always improve on the products based on Mr Honda's philosophy.
The 10 speed on the accord hits real smooth for an automatic
The hyundai sonata was made with the utmost determination👍
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Sport 2.0t, at first I didn’t like it much but now it’s grown on me like big time I love it! Also keep in mind resale value Honda’s hold their value big time
@Darkivaz-AAA no toyota and honda's reliability is good than other brand
@@HJChoi-qk9nh toyota i agree, but honda.. idk man my uncle crv's 1.5t was chugging oil a bit too much, forced him to take some times to claim the warranty
8:30 You could've given half point to the Accord because it has tuning knob and hard buttons, something Yuri and Jakub from the straightpipes complained about in the Sonata that is lacking
And then you have to give a whole point to the Sonata for having the best lane keep assist in the biz
Just use the steering wheel controls
One of the best comparison videos I’ve seen. Great format.
Thanks!
I test drove a Sonata Limited trim today, I loved it! All of it! Except the power. It felt anemic.
I drive a 2013 2.0T Sonata, not a great deal but it feels more powerful than the 1.6T. I'll hold off until the N-Line.
PS: Looks way better in person, especially in white.
I like the Hampton Gray
Honda Accord is the best
I am using this car for last 6 years without any problem,
And it crossed 400k km
2 liter engine with a lot more horsepower, 10 speed transmission.. my winner is the Accord.
By the way, The new Sonata looks like kind of bug.
Great video guys. Awesome comparisons.
😁😁 glad you're enjoying
Can't wait for the N-line to come out.. will be most powerful non luxury sedan in market.. and possibly most luxurious and feature filled.. with best warranty

Good review. But which car was quieter and had the more comfortable rode quality?
As expected! Sonata hands down!! Can't wait for the Sonata N-Line to come out. But I'm anticipating on the new 2021 Kia Optima! Same technology as the Sonata but looks more sportier than the Sonata in my opinion. Also, it's coming out with an AWD GT model! It's already being released in South Korea.
I love the feature-set of the Hyundai, and in a video like this it definitely feels like Hyundai wins, but across the board Hyundais just don't age very well. Sure they have a great warranty, but you really NEED that warranty because they typically tend to have a lot of midlife problems. With a Honda...the things just last for-freakin-ever. This would be a hard choice for me honestly, but I would probably accept the feature loss and go with the Honda just because I know I could trust it, and my local dealer adds a lifetime powertrain warranty to their Hondas.
EDIT: I know this is totally opinion, but the exterior design of the Accord definitely looks way nicer to me than the Sonata. Much better stance, much more premium looking design, etc. The Interior of the Sonata is the opposite though. That dash is really nice looking.
@@Hickeroar Not necessarily, true. Hyundai and Kia are building cars a lot better, thanks to German Engineers And Designer Peter Schryer and Albert Beirmann. One of my good friends drives a 2015 Honda Accord and the interior already looks old. I remember owning a 2008 Acura TL and I had cracks all over my dashboard. The dealer charged me almost $2K to replace the whole dash. I currently drive a 2018 fully loaded Hyundai Elantra and aging very well. And I get a lot of compliments on how new my car looks and the up keep on the interior. Even a friend of mine who drives a Corolla was like man, I wish my car had this or that. Hyundai and Kia are no longer basic crappy cars from the 90's and 00's. It has really improved on the style and technology. But my gripe with Honda is why they didn't add a Panoramic roof to their Accords? Hyundai and Kia were the first non luxury family cars to have that feature. Toyota finally got on board and add one as an optional feature. But I just think people just can't get over the Hyundai and Kia names due their past reputations. But you have to admit, with all the tech features Hyundai and Kia is dishing out. It's very price competitive. That parking feature is only reserved for cars like the Tesla or German luxury cars. To have Hyundai/Kia implement that to their cars is mind blowing! Hyundai/Kia already won in my book. When the 2021 Kia Optima is released later this year, I'm definitely trading my car in for that.
I do not understand how people are saying the accord looks better than the sonata. I would rather have the catfish grill and civic/Volvo taillights of the Sonata and have more features and a better warranty versus the Accord which looks like the foreheads of the 1000 lb sisters with that bulging front grill and that red upside down stapler rear end.
@@asdfghjqwertyu1858 If the Sonata was an Accord, people will buy it. But they are salty because it's a "Hyundai". People really needs to get over themselves. Koreans are kicking ass and taking names.
Plus the Accord looks like a deform Impala. Too long in the tooth on the front end. The whole design just don't flow.
I don't think that Sonata design is going to age well. It's too polarizing.
Nah I feel like with minor tweaks with the years it’ll stay nice and relevant
The future is polarizing
Not polarizing... only bad

Thanks, Glenn! We appreciate it!
Anything over a Honda cause their customer service, sales, service department,specialized mechanics, and supervisors can easily neglect you behind those vehicles- so their 3 years bumper to bumper warranty isn’t really 3 years when they turn their backs at you or you’ll need a lawyer just for them to honor the basic minimum warranty
Good comp guys! :D
Yeah and great bonus point, that your sonata engine will blow 100,001 miles after you purchase it . You will never regret the honda 2.0 engine
Nah
The 2021 kia Optima is going to be the best looking car of the decade.
Optima??

It was going to until they screwed the american market over and gave the Korean market all the good stuff
Zak M yeah they did the American market dirty
Accord=Iphone
Sonata=Samsung
Both great vehicles you have to choose which is right for you. However the Accord like an Iphone is really easy to resell and you'll get more trade-in value with similar miles.
Definitely i am going for Sonata. Their frame is also newly designed.
What about the k5
How about the resale value? Which one is better after 3~5 years?
Always Honda accord
As much as I like the Accord, it was a HUGE letdown finding out that they no longer offer blind spot cameras on the Accord. WTH Honda?
Well they still offer it in Civic
I honestly like the traditional blind spot monitoring that the new ones have. I have a 9th gen accord and the cameras are pretty much useless when it rains and water covers the lens also in most dim conditions its hard to gage the position of the vehicle on your blind spot. But i guess to each his own
Racerx247 also yes. The quality is 💩
@@raealcoriza2549 Traditional blind spot monitoring is doing it your damn self.
People are relying on the camera instead of actually looking our your windows and using mirrors. It's all about safety
Hyundai engines are junk compared to Honda, it's not even close - Honda builds world class motors
Honda is using cvts. Hyundai is using automatics. No matter who makes a cvt, it will always be garbage. But yes honda makes the greatest engines in the world
My Hyundai Sonata engine broke off without any prior symptoms. I went and bought the 2.0 accord and very happy with it.
@@allencrabbe8585
Fam Honda have the 10 speed gear!
They just merged with Chevy thats a win for Hyundai now and im willing to bet that the longer warranty also mean the company trust their build. Shorter warranty shows lack of trust so Hyundai wins there also

Thanks for your review 👍
Hyundai and Kia has come a LONG way.. The new Hyundais and kias are game changer. But Honda is where it's at💯
I bought 2011 sonata and at that time I didn’t knew the importance of warranty. I didn’t do a single service till I sold it in 2018. Only tire, filters and oil change. I own restaurants and bought food items in extreme bulk. I used my sonata to it’s full capacity and still not a single time it gave me a hard time. In 2016, I got a recall and upon visiting dealer they said that Hyundai changed engines in 2016 so instead of changing something in 2011 sonata engine, they would change the entire engine for free (and provided Elantra for four months for free while they fix new engine). I had 73k miles on Sonata at that time. Dealer said that they will honor my warranty since my car was 4 years 10 months in and under 100k. I got unbelievable price return because of the fact that entire engine has been changed after 73k. I became lifetime fan of Hyundai and now own 2019 Santa Fe with all the confidence in brand. Few of my friends own Honda (2011)and Camry (2012)but they also had to accept that Hyundai is a underdog and they even bought Hyundai as their second car in 19 and 20. Sonata’s reliability is unbelievable.
The Honda Accord touring 2.0l. More fun to drive as a reputation. It looks great. I made some videos about the accord. I hope I get a chance to try the Hyundai.
Please do a driving videos. I like the tail light on Hyundai. Great video keep it up.
Great comparisson like always 👍 .. thank u guys

Accord for reliability and resale value.

True
Yes, same tech as the Sonata, but look much better, to me at least.
kanamekuran23 agree but how? Mazda 6?
Hell yea !!
This Hyundai looks beyond ugly . And they're ridiculous light on the Kia there's no more words for it enjoy it but that Honda looks beautiful
Accord is amazing. Just wish it was a lift back or wagon and had a 360 degree camera.
Still think the Accord looks better. Only thing I wish the Accord had was a true premium sound system.
Me either, I will take that accord any day. I don't care about the tech in sonata
Hey guys, another great video. Keep them coming.
😁
I still don't trust Hyundai's build quality. I've known the brand since the 90's and their cars were never durably made. Couple that with new, gimmicky, unproven tech and I become even more apprehensive about the brand.
Plus, they've always lifted the designs of other cars, which they continue to do to this day. I remember they had a Sonata, back in the early to mid 2000's, which was almost a mirror image of a Jaguar XJ sedan of similar timeline. These days they've become even more emboldened with an amalgamation of multiple manufacturers' designs in both their Hyundai and Genesis brands.
Not anymore!
I appreciate your channel and the in depth with you do, and while I do like Hyundai, but it still has a long long way to go to match the quality and durability of a Honda. Remember, electronic bells and whistles do not give us a car that can live beyond +250K miles.
I have 2 sonatas both have over 360 both still run neither gave me nothing more than basic ware and tare brakes oil transmission fluid at proper intervals
I can't seem to find a good running used Honda they be over heating and missing i be like just give me my sonata with 300k ill be fine
Great in depth comparison Drew and Mason. Hyundai is definitely bringing their A game with new Sonata. However, proven reliability, resale value, fit and finish and power under hood are most important to me when considering a vehicle purchase. I am not going to purchase either of these but I have no problem with paying a little more a month for proven quality and reliability. In my opinion, decades of proven performance and reliability make Toyota and Honda still remain King in those categories for non-luxury brand midsize sedans. Time will tell if Hyundai can dethrone them.
In a way Hyundai already has. The Hyundai has a longer warranty than the Toyota, and the Honda, which means if the Hyundai breaks down on you, then Hyundai will take care of you, and I've done brief research on the maintenance and repair costs on Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, and Hyundai is cheaper compared in maintenance and repairs than the Toyota, and Honda.
That is great! Since 2012 my Honda Accord has not broken down or needed mechanical service other than normal routine maintenance based on mileage (oil change, transmission fluid change, new tires.) and that is how I like it ❤️😁
@@valjune I like that too, and I'm not taking anything away from Honda, and Toyota in terms of reliability, but I am saying don't underestimate Hyundai.
Got 08 sonata 200 thousand miles no problems had it 12 years
You’re right 100% ,Hyundai and Kia are cars for 200000 km after that,problems coming out. Those Gdi engine have so many problems,they’re god for gas but still with the same problem like 2.4 l or 2.0 t ,engine stall,engine on fire cause of pistons,road bearings wearing out to early…the same issues from 2011 to 2021 . Turbo engine costly to repair…my opinion is Toyota better option even if you are paying little more.
2016 hyundai elantra paint started peeling only after 4 years under the beautiful weather of southern california 🙂
Y’all keep talking about how good the sonata is until its GDI engine starts to have carbon buildup right after the warranty at 100k. That’s thousands of dollars to clean
Honda Accord also uses direct injection. It's same as Hyundai GDI.
I think the sonata is gorgeous and it will be refreshing to see on the road in comparison to the accord, I am tired of seeing accords everywhere. Whether it be the new or the old models.
The accord does come with rear USB ports but they're an option... but since you have to opt for it doesn't get a point
I leave your comparison videos with all the info I need except for one thing, how do the 2 cars compare regarding comfort and isolation. Otherwise, Your comparison videos are really good. Informative and to the point.
Thank you!
Great job! I love the Accord
Can’t wait for the video!!
Sonata technology with Accord styling. Great job to both manufacturers though.
But the accord is ugly?
Andrew White they are both ugly but the sonata is uglier that rear end is hideous also the front grill too.

Great review! I appreciate calm, reasonable and very clear comments provided. Most reviewers are so hyped up like they drank 10 liters of coffee before presenting cars. Good job! Well done! You can expand your comparison comparing tech in both cars: how accurate and smooth is ACC; how accurate are parking sensors; etc. etc.
Thanks so much! We will keep that in mind!
Since the Sonata gets a point for costing 3800 ~ less than the Accord. I wonder which would have the better resale value. I guess the Accord has the better resale value and I would thus give it points for that. Both great cars and I don't know which I'd buy. I especially like great sounding audio, so that's a factor. Good review.
The resale value thing is a myth. Current generation hyundais maintain their value as well as any of the japanese.
@@Iamallwaysright1 stupid argument, everything holds its value in this market 😂😂
People on the taller side are really going to appreciate that extra interior room!
The Sonata is the better value. Thousands cheaper, better warranty so you have more years to drive worry-free, more standard features on all trims even the base, all safety features are standards as well and the 360 camera view or blindspot and self parking usually only founs in top trim BMW, Audi and Mercedes are the best features as well.
The 18inch tires on the Sonata will make the drive smooth instead of the Accords 19 whicha have a very thin sidewall and will make the drive on rough roads very uncomfortable and the cabin louder. Sonata also has double glass to block road sounds.
Sonata has heated steering wheel and large panoramic sunroof. The longer warranty alone means the car is basically solid. If anything was to break you havr a big window to get the dealership to fix it.
Yes Accord nust like thr Camry has veen aroung longer so established a name but since 2011 Hyundai and KIA has been putting out great cars.
I'd but the Sonata. Besides, nobody wants to keep a car more than 10 years before getting bored and buying a newer car. We're talking 2030 there might be way more advaced and that's about the time Sonata's warranty will be running out. Honda will be out by 2025 so after paying all that money, the owner will be on their own. Lol
Hyundais style and tech is top notch rn , stunning
The Sonata's 181hp falls far behind the Camry (301hp), Accord (252hp), Mazda 6 (250hp), and the Altima (248hp). The exterior is hit and miss for me but the interior design and next gen technology is a home run. The upcoming Hyundai Sonata N is supposed to offer 290hp so that might be worth checking out.
Still not sold on the turbos but the sonata looks like a winner
Full disclosure, when I first saw the all new Sonata, I thought Hyundai was overcompensating and went overboard w/ the redesign. However, after seeing this side by side comparison, I applaud Hyundai for taking a risk w/ its mainstay. The latest Sonata is certainly a looker, the digital key card, and the park assist certainly sets the Sonata apart. The 10.25in. head unit is integrated into the dash perfectly and actually looks like it belongs there. The display looks right at home in the Palisade, but Hyundai pulled it off in the Sonata. Drew and Mason, another exceptional side by side comparison. It would be awesome if you reviewed a 2020 Volvo S90 on your channel to see what's new for Volvo's flagship sedan, S90 might not be popular in Lexington.
Yes he should review my favorite car ever since 2018 I owned this car and I still like it to this date it’s an awesome car
Fantastic comparison! Thank you
I was completely disappointed after seeing the Sonata in person... It looks great on camera but in person it honestly still doesn’t compete with Honda or Toyota as far as looks/quality goes.
Good comparison!
