I think Hyundai has significantly stepped up their game. I've owned a 15 Pilot, 98 Camry and my mom has owned multiple civics and CRVs. Her last CRV had major transmission issues. My first Hyundai was a 22 Palisade and loved it. Switched it out for a 24 Sonata Hybrid since the kids were starting to leave the house and not really needing an SUV anymore. We got my oldest a new Elantra and he loves it. Way more "hip" than the other comparable models. Time will just tell how reliable Hyundai has really become. Knock on wood...zero issues with the 3 we currently own.
If you are concerned just sell before 10 years or 100K miles. Let's be honest most buyers don't keep there cars till they die. And if you normally like to do that just get a Toyota lol
Stop hating on Hyundai, @ayushmalpeddi2793. Hyundai's last more than 100K miles. A friend of mine had a 2005 Santa fe with 200k miles. Hyundai have stepped up their game and they need some respect
@@samuelofosuhene250 buddy I'm not hating. I literally own one. But I'm not gonna say my Hyundai will outlast a Toyota equivalent. All I'm saying is most people don't keep there cars forever so I'd rather buy the nicer car. Given Hyundais long warranty it's an easy decision. If you are concerned about the reliability just sell before the warranty is up
I got the sonata. I love it with the features it has. One mistake car connections made was the price on Camry to match sonata features are closer to 43/45 not 39. They have a base xse but there is a package you have to get similar features the sonata offers. The warranty I never have an issue with Hyundai honoring it. But with the bluelink for life was a major selling point for me.
This weekend, I traveled out of town and had to rent a car in Cleveland. The rental car lot attendant allowed me to choose any model of full-size car that I wanted. There seemed to be about 100 Malibus, and I didn't want one. I wanted a Camry, for I wanted to test drive the new one, but they didn't have one available. They had two Sonatas: 1 red one and 1 white one, both gas powered, so I took the white one. The car was well equipped with adaptive cruise, heated seats, power drivers seat, and wireless CarPlay. I thought it was a mid-trim level. When I got to my hotel, I went to the Hyundai web site and verified to my surprise that I had a BASE '25 model, stickering under 28K. This car felt far nicer than a base model - comfortable, quiet, composed, efficient, full of tech. Very impressed. It's understood - Camry's hold their value better and as hybrids they are more sophisticated. But for someone who just wants reliable and affordable transportation, the Sonata is a very stylish and impressive alternative.
I have owned both Camrys and Sonatas in my life. They are both great cars and have positive things to stay about both of them. While the Sonata probably edges out the Camry with features, I will take the Camry reliability any day of the week
EXACTLY! Distributors and dealerships have decided to be adding a lot of extras to mark up the price. I bought my XSE last week. I wish I had the 360, but I could not find one.
@@skimonkey5855 yeah 43k plus tt&l is insane for a Camry. It does hold its value, but I think people will lose a lot of money the first year in depreciation for over paying.
Two months ago I test drove an Accord hybrid and a Camry hybrid. I thought about driving the Hyundai hybrid for about a minute. I got the Camry. Mostly because Honda didn't want to negotiate.
@@SoBe80s. I test drove both and the accord drivetrain is incredibly smooth. However value proposition wise, Camry no brainer. A lot more stuff and less expensive.
@@SoBe80s. Accord is a better handling car. I traded in a civic sport touring. I am extremely familiar with Honda. The Camry was a better value. That and the extra little something in the power train was the only reason I chose the Camry Hybrid. The Accord has a little nicer interior also.
@SoBe80s. The Honda drives better and handles better and has a higher top speed of 124 mph. The Honda is larger inside and in the trunk space. The Camry is faster, but has a lower top speed of 118 mph. The Camry is the best commuter car.
@@myytchannel6632 I had a leased 2021 Camry SE for three years , turned it in for a 2024 Corolla SE due to the increased cost of the 2024 Camry. which went up $4k from the 2021 model. The top speed of the Camry SE 2.4L 203 HP was 135 miles an hour. The top speed of the 2.0L Corolla SE is 117-119 mph. Where did you get the lower top speed from?
Im taking the Hyundai Sonata! It's just a better package all away around for the money. People are quick to ding Hyundai's reliability. But dont want to discuss the current problems Toyota is facing. Oh, the irony! The point is that not every car is perfect, including Toyota.
@atweber The same with my friend 2021 Accord when it was new. I drive a Hyundai, so I am living proof that my car is reliable. Only the ones who go by what people are telling them or never driven a Hyundai will talk about its reliability. But again, Toyota is in the news for their shortcomings if engine problems and people are just I'm crickets.
I ultimately went with sonata because it had more standard features compared to the Camry. The XLE with the premium plus package is the only way to come close to what the sonata limited gives you.
Don't believe these comments! I bought a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon 2.0 (USED) AT 64K Miles, 3 years later no problems at all, current mileage is at 150k, NOT ONE SINGLE PROBLEM, only ac compressor had to be replaced *dealer took care of that! I was skeptical about Hyundais prior this purchase, im not ready to upgrade to a newer Car and Model
I currently drive a 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid Limited and I have 63,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new with 12 miles on it. I love the vehicle so much. There is no body roll. The Hyundai dealership are not asking me to service much. I have spent only $ 250 on a 60K Service. When I had my 2008 Camry Hybrid, Toyota used to constantly tell me to service some part or the other, be it a brake flush, a transmission flush, etc. With Hyundai, no such request. I will be driving my vehicle until it dies. I also got a 0% finance for 60 months. I knew the price of the vehicle to the cent even before I got to the dealership. My encounter with the Finance person was about 10 to 15 minutes, signing various forms. The only question I was asked is if I wanted a 2nd car thanks to my high credit rating. Our next car was a 2024 Palisade Calligraphy AWD. We love that vehicle too.
Got the 2025 LE and I am very happy with it. The LE has a smooth ride without feeling floaty and the feedback from the steering is pretty good. I kept my last care, a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L. Until Hyundai and Kia improve their reliability (a lot), I could not even consider a Korean car.
Yeah, I plan on getting an AWD Camry at the end of the year. I do like the Hyundai interior a lot, but the overall drive experience is much better in the Camry.
Yep. Their truck based vehicles have gone down in reliability but I would suspect that their standard hybrids like this Camry and others to still be reliable. But as with any modern vehicle, the tech probably won’t last 2” years like a car from 10 years ago would.
I'm currently in the market for a sedan, and got to drive both. The Hyundai offers more features for the money. Although, the Camry had better chassis feel for me, and a bit more juice under the hood. More than likely going to be going with the Camry.
You forgot to mention that in a Sonata, when you put on the indicator, you get a blind spot camera in the car. You do not get that with the Camry. This is huge.
I'm just curious (other than you own an XSE) as to why you didn't compare the Camry XLE against the Limited Sonata as it would maybe have been a fairer comparison for options?
@@Offensively-normalthey are comparing a sport (XSE) Camry to a high end (limited) sonata. They should have compared the high end (XLE) Camry to the high end (limited) Sonata.
@@djplonghead5403 Correct in the ride for the comparison would’ve been more fair as the XLE Camry has a softer tune suspension and smaller wheels than the XSE. It was not a sport Sonata yet they compare it against a sport tune Camry? I guess there’s all they had available but would have been a more legit comparison or fair however you want to look at it to have had the XLE Camry in the comparison
At the time you want to resell you Toyota, is the value difference over the Hyundai more than when you bought it? What if you consider inflation, and what you could do with the money you save not going with Toyota? If you really care about resale, you'll look at all the numbers. So many people offer blanket statements without actually considering what they mean. (And they are ignoring Toyota engine recalls of late.)
if you package them similarly: panoramic sunroof, heads-up display, most safety driving features, and ventilated seats etc. then the toyota hits a MINIMUM of $40735
4:36 I asked a Toyota dealer and they said remote start was free for life but the remote start through the app required the connected service subscription. Could you double check this please!
that's correct. You only get the APP for a short period free, then you pay. I got rid of it and can still start my Toyota with the key fob, just not from another country lol.
A representative of Toyota has said that the key fob shortcut will expire when the Connected Services trial ends. We've never been able to personally put this to the test though
I'd never buy another POS Camry after the two I had. And they were embarrassingly underwhelming and had no features. Even the top trims were VERY behind on the competition. You'll never see me even ride in one, ever again.
I’ll trust the Toyota to be around in 15-20 years over the Hyundai. Hyundai/Kias are the fast fashion of cars, trendy but with little quality, substance, and quickly outdated.
@@atweber Yeah Toyota trucks with the new engine that Toyota said they’ll replace which doesn’t affect the Camry that’s using tried and true hybrid technology. Hyundai’s recalls still vastly outnumber Toyota’s and their quality was made evident by their experience with the Santa Fe and good luck getting Hyundai to honor their warranty. 🐸🍵
I'll take the Toyota Camry LE with the Convenience package and the Cold Weather package for $31,195 over the Sonata SEL Hybrid that sells for $31,950 similarly equipped. I will get a car that is more reliable, has better resale value, is quicker and more responsive, gets 4 mpg better EPA mileage, does not have a 6 speed transmission to go out but rather uses Toyota's far more reliable e-CVT that has been used in the Prius since day one and has proven to be nearly bullet proof. Rides on smooth quiet 16" wheels that are even cheaper to replace. AND comes with a temporary service spare tire that the Sonata does not. Plus, there's room under the floor to fit a full service spare down the road if you choose to do so. THAT'S the real deal.
Hyundai and Kia came a long way and they established brands but Toyota is just amazing with so many beautiful models and the brands reliability is still a fact compared with anything alse in the industry.We dont have many of the US model here in Europe like the Tacoma or Sequoia nor the bigger engines.I am a fan of Kia and Genesys but Toyota, Lexus, Honda and the naughty Mazda are just the best.
This is easy. You have no fear with the Hyundai or Toyota. I have friends with both and the Sonata is much nicer and little to no issues like the Camry. We shall see at 8 years plus which is doing better but at year 4 for the ones I know there are no issues
No spare tire on some Hyundai Sonata models. You get one on every Camry. I think this point was overlooked. I’ll take Camry any day and twice on Sunday.
@@Aaronduhmoron I got 4300 off MSRP:) Whether you choose to believe I really don't care lol. Remember...any car can be had for invoice as a best case scenario. I paid about 700 over invoice so the dealer still made money off me.
I own a 2021 Hybrid Sonata and I 48k and no problems with it, I get 55 mpg city and 49 highway. New Toyotas are not the Toyotas of the past. Their quality and reliability is not the same.
No hybrid Sonata for Canada - very odd. They said the Elantra has almost identical space UP FRONT compared to the Accord; and here the Elantra "sizing" is more popular than the Sonata - and I guess the true AWD in the base Sonata (which gets a bunch more features here - leather vented memory seats and so on) is more the client they are using that model for. It is true as Canadians have tended to buy one size smaller for comparable profiles. Interestingly - worth an "I wonder" - the K5 and the Forte were retired here with apparently the K4 replacing BOTH ... humm.
7:54 The 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited does not, I repeat DOES NOT have a, “Home Link garage door remote” on the mirror!! I LITERALLY have the car! It does NOT come with a remote button on the mirror! They removed that feature! I don’t know why he said that in this video, either he made a mistake or just flat out lied, that’s why you can clearly see him just rubbing the mirror on the Sonata and not located or pressing any button 😂. Other than that, nice video 😊!!
Sonata has lost her charm and its handsome identity with 2018 exterior updates….. 2015 - 2017 Sonata was best looking …… specially 2.0 T sports limited was stunning
Now lots of people talking about reliable no I don't understand that particular word as if today's standard my question is which one of the companies gives you more free headache when it comes to guaranteed let's talk about Toyota . Now let's talk about that car It's true that resale price for that vehicle never dies we all know that but when it comes to warranty or engine guarantee transmission guarantee I don't think there's any many factory in the whole world gives you or offer you a piece of mind as of Hyundai doing I don't think so so on this matter which one is more reliable and your mind guys is it that Toyota or is it the Hyundai I will leave it up to you ladies and gentlemen thank you so much and God bless you all
The camry has remote start on the fob as well, just have to press the lock button a few times. You only need a subscription if you want to use the app.
@@chill-pill923It only has been 4 years. How would you know the new Hyundai reliability has improved? I would think any new cars should have no problem in the first 5 years
@@chill-pill923 that’s why I wanna get one bad specially since it’s better ride than Camry too with turn radius and cabin noise. I just don’t know what the6 mean b6 sonata takes too long to shift gears or feels sluggish. I’ve never felt that before. I hope that’s not a problem since car care nut reviews actually said that hybrid was designed really good.
Toyota all day, my mom had a 2015 sonata she bought brand new and after eight years the transmission and engine failed and Hyundai didn’t wanna fix it.
i trust Toyota. they are also getting mych better in term of driving pleasure and feeling. nevertheless i wish Toyota makes better interiors in terms of quality and color combinations. Korean cars are very nice when it comes to color combinations of their interiors. lot of people who for any reason want to bash Toyota products will always try to write negative comments about them. nevertheless I believe that Toyota's new generations also are excellent cars and again they are getting much better in terms of driving experience too.
Hyundai iss killing everyone period i am done with camry there still lazy in building an all feature vehicle. Hyundai gives you everything tech look style and price.
they freaking blew it with the front grill looks of both cars , specially on the camry that it looks way out place that it seems that front grill part doesn't belong there.
Great review mostly because I wanted to know whether you guys would include reliability and resale values. You did, making it a much fairer comparison.

I personally think the Kia K5 GT is one of the sharpest looking sedans for the money. The Sonata is ugly in comparison. For me since the Camry no longer offers the V6 and the Accord no longer offers the 2.0 turbo i wouldn't even consider both.
I looked at all three vehicles Hyundai Honda and Toyota.. I chose the 2024 Hyundai sonata limited hybrid.. the interior puts Honda and Toyota to shame is there interiors are from like 1980 play and the materials are poor quality.. I've had three hyundais I've had good luck. Over 200,000 mi not one problem.. I know the Toyota fanboys we'll say the engine is going to blow up but that's not my experience I'm averaging 48 miles per gallon and on shorter trips 10 mi or less I've been averaging around 55 miles a gallon..
I respect Hyundai for making a value packed car but that’s only part of making a car Toyota just is so much better it can be sporty or luxurious depending on what trim you get it’s got better style reliability resale value and you can’t go wrong with the last 2
This was close and I figured it would be, both are great cars. For me Camry all the way. I like the design just a touch more. Side note: that twist-shifter in the Hyundai is ridiculous. Ugly too

I will get a car that is more reliable, has better resale value, is quicker and more responsive, gets 4 mpg better EPA mileage, does not have a 6 speed transmission to go out but rather uses Toyota's far more reliable e-CVT that has been used in the Prius since day one and has proven to be nearly bullet proof. Rides on smooth quiet 16" wheels that are even cheaper to replace. AND comes with a temporary service spare tire that the Sonata does not. Plus, there's room under the floor to fit a full service spare down the road if you choose to do so. THAT'S the real deal.
Which transmission needs maintenance and repairs the most?
Let’s see how the 2025 K5 GT stacks up
Hyundai and Kia came a long way and they established brands but Toyota is just amazing with so many beautiful models and the brands reliability is still a fact compared with anything alse in the industry.We dont have many of the US model here in Europe like the Tacoma or Sequoia nor the bigger engines.I am a fan of Kia and Genesys but Toyota, Lexus, Honda and the naughty Mazda are just the best.
Love the Sonata but sucks no hybrid option in Canada so Camry for me.
This is easy. You have no fear with the Hyundai or Toyota. I have friends with both and the Sonata is much nicer and little to no issues like the Camry. We shall see at 8 years plus which is doing better but at year 4 for the ones I know there are no issues
The Sonata comes with the fire extinguisher and steering lock, the Camry doesn't. The Sonata wins every time !
Hyundai all day!
Hyundai ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, in the SHOP getting repaired
@@umpalumpa6565 are y’all not tired of saying the same lies? 😂
You are nuts. I drive both and chose 2025 Camry Hybrid.
No spare tire on some Hyundai Sonata models. You get one on every Camry. I think this point was overlooked. I’ll take Camry any day and twice on Sunday.
Sonata has power trunk,hood shocks instead of prop rod , memory seats,rear passenger window sun shades.
Got my 2025 Camry LE w/ convenience package for 29k OTD. Can't beat that
That is a very good price. Can you share with us what dealership? I got a 2025 Camry XSE fully loaded very well for $38k OTD.
how much off msrp did you get?
Cap, 2025 LE + Convenience is $30585 before tax and interest. No chance you got over $4000 off MSRP
@@skimonkey5855 4300 off msrp
@@Aaronduhmoron I got 4300 off MSRP:)
Whether you choose to believe I really don't care lol. Remember...any car can be had for invoice as a best case scenario. I paid about 700 over invoice so the dealer still made money off me.

I own a 2021 Hybrid Sonata and I 48k and no problems with it, I get 55 mpg city and 49 highway. New Toyotas are not the Toyotas of the past. Their quality and reliability is not the same.
The Sonata is the better value.
Camry ❤ reliability
The Sonata is impressing me
👍Sonata
I would get the Sonata. My dad owned a 2008 version and I think the 2025 is so much better
Great comparison!
So if I am getting 33 miles per gallon with my camry xse, is there something wrong?
Yes. your right foot is far too heavy lol!
No hybrid Sonata for Canada - very odd. They said the Elantra has almost identical space UP FRONT compared to the Accord; and here the Elantra "sizing" is more popular than the Sonata - and I guess the true AWD in the base Sonata (which gets a bunch more features here - leather vented memory seats and so on) is more the client they are using that model for. It is true as Canadians have tended to buy one size smaller for comparable profiles. Interestingly - worth an "I wonder" - the K5 and the Forte were retired here with apparently the K4 replacing BOTH ... humm.

The 2024 Sonata Hybrid Limited does not, I repeat DOES NOT have a, “Home Link garage door remote” on the mirror!!
I LITERALLY have the car! It does NOT come with a remote button on the mirror! They removed that feature!
I don’t know why he said that in this video, either he made a mistake or just flat out lied, that’s why you can clearly see him just rubbing the mirror on the Sonata and not located or pressing any button 😂.
Other than that, nice video 😊!!
Can you review more mid level models, which the average consumer buys?
Sonata has lost her charm and its handsome identity with 2018 exterior updates…..
2015 - 2017 Sonata was best looking …… specially 2.0 T sports limited was stunning
Toyota Camry keeps its crown as it has been during the last 4 decades running.
Now lots of people talking about reliable no I don't understand that particular word as if today's standard my question is which one of the companies gives you more free headache when it comes to guaranteed let's talk about Toyota . Now let's talk about that car It's true that resale price for that vehicle never dies we all know that but when it comes to warranty or engine guarantee transmission guarantee I don't think there's any many factory in the whole world gives you or offer you a piece of mind as of Hyundai doing I don't think so so on this matter which one is more reliable and your mind guys is it that Toyota or is it the Hyundai I will leave it up to you ladies and gentlemen thank you so much and God bless you all
The camry has remote start on the fob as well, just have to press the lock button a few times. You only need a subscription if you want to use the app.
Toyota says the key fob shortcut also expires with your Connected Services trial
@@CarConfections Booo that's a bummer then :(
I like Sonata but I'm so scared of their engine failure
If it makes you feel better, their hybrid counterparts hasn’t had any recalls since 2021
The last 4 model years of the sonata have been very reliable
@@chill-pill923It only has been 4 years. How would you know the new Hyundai reliability has improved? I would think any new cars should have no problem in the first 5 years
Toyota engines failure is creeping up too; exploding (V6TT) and catching on fire (3T)
@@chill-pill923 that’s why I wanna get one bad specially since it’s better ride than Camry too with turn radius and cabin noise. I just don’t know what the6 mean b6 sonata takes too long to shift gears or feels sluggish. I’ve never felt that before. I hope that’s not a problem since car care nut reviews actually said that hybrid was designed really good.
Sonata N-line all day
Toyota all day, my mom had a 2015 sonata she bought brand new and after eight years the transmission and engine failed and Hyundai didn’t wanna fix it.
Hyundai Sonata!
K4 is the true competitor
i trust Toyota. they are also getting mych better in term of driving pleasure and feeling. nevertheless i wish Toyota makes better interiors in terms of quality and color combinations.
Korean cars are very nice when it comes to color combinations of their interiors.
lot of people who for any reason want to bash Toyota products will always try to write negative comments about them.
nevertheless I believe that Toyota's new generations also are excellent cars and again they are getting much better in terms of driving experience too.
Hyundai iss killing everyone period i am done with camry there still lazy in building an all feature vehicle. Hyundai gives you everything tech look style and price.
they freaking blew it with the front grill looks of both cars , specially on the camry that it looks way out place that it seems that front grill part doesn't belong there.
Toyota Camry all day
Honestly, Toyota has gotten way to generic these days
Sonata for me because it still can be offered as a gas car
Thanks. Good compare. I don't want moon roof at all. Which offers option for regular roof?
Likely the LECamry and possibly the SE Camry.
EEE-911 IS MY MOMS LICENSE PLATE
In the real world Sonata can be had for a lower price and lower finance rates as well.
Toyota camry is the only choice 💙💙🌍🇬🇭🇬🇭
Sonata limited is 38k Camry Xle is 44k
Of course sonata ❤🎉😂
Toyota all day
You should have compared similar colors because camry is much uglier looking but because it's black it hides that front grill very well
Camry, easy winner.
Great review mostly because I wanted to know whether you guys would include reliability and resale values. You did, making it a much fairer comparison.
With engine exploding (V6TT) and catching on fire (3T), transmissions failing (RWD 8spd) I'm not sure how much reliability praise it deserves anymore.
Lol what are you talking about?
Reliability and low maintenance cost is a key factor in this class and Toyota wins hands down
I prefer the Sonata except for its hybrid engine, which tips the scale in favor of Toyota.

I personally think the Kia K5 GT is one of the sharpest looking sedans for the money. The Sonata is ugly in comparison. For me since the Camry no longer offers the V6 and the Accord no longer offers the 2.0 turbo i wouldn't even consider both.
Both cars are awesome can't go wrong with either one. Toyota for reliability 👍
Toyota is the best
The Camry is a better car ! And reliable
I work at Hyundai but brought a Toyota.
😂😅
I looked at all three vehicles Hyundai Honda and Toyota.. I chose the 2024 Hyundai sonata limited hybrid.. the interior puts Honda and Toyota to shame is there interiors are from like 1980 play and the materials are poor quality.. I've had three hyundais I've had good luck. Over 200,000 mi not one problem.. I know the Toyota fanboys we'll say the engine is going to blow up but that's not my experience I'm averaging 48 miles per gallon and on shorter trips 10 mi or less I've been averaging around 55 miles a gallon..
I respect Hyundai for making a value packed car but that’s only part of making a car Toyota just is so much better it can be sporty or luxurious depending on what trim you get it’s got better style reliability resale value and you can’t go wrong with the last 2
This was close and I figured it would be, both are great cars. For me Camry all the way. I like the design just a touch more. Side note: that twist-shifter in the Hyundai is ridiculous. Ugly too
How bout none of the above boo boo??? Y’all need to do a comparison of the best cars for us big donk having ebony queens cause these cheap cars don’t cradle our cakes right!!!! C’mon now boo boo we need that donk test!!!!!!
