In order to get the Camry XLE or XSE (Hybrid) comparably equipped with the Sonata Limited (Hybrid), you need to add an expensive package or two, so a fully loaded Camry is actually more expensive than a fully loaded Sonata. The Sonata is clearly the better value.
Great video! Thank you very much! There are some concerns with Hyundai's longevity. I've read of recent oil leaks that is holding me back. Seen a Hyundai's engine oil leak at 15k miles and personal friend's Palisade's has an oil leak at 70k. Yes it's covered but still. I had a 2010 Sonata that I spent $23k that ran for 230k miles. Loved it. I don't feel so confident spending $38k and hoping to get half of that mileage. But I love the tech and your detailed review. Just my 2cents, still on the fence.
I just drove the regular hybrid as a rental from Dallas to Michigan to Canada to New York and then back to Dallas. Honestly, I was very impressed with this car. With Radar cruise control and lane centering assist I was able to relax and enjoy the ride and didn’t feel tired. The seats are good as well. personally I would have really thought about buying as I am looking for a new car myself but the price is quite high plus Toyota’s legendary reliability at a lower price point is just not something you can ignore. Still, I loved the car, its styling and its drive.
I have a 2020 SEL+ and it has everything but the headlights, turn signal camera and a couple other things. I adore mine. Glowing Yellow that grows on you and frankly everyone compliments it even today. I am super jealous of the dlnew dash here, but I think I only don't like no AWD at the time no option. The driver seat is weak sauce and could use a little more Powah baby. The direction of the lighting is better with the catfish, but I get it. The lighting at night at least in the Korean ones are insane. Wonder if this is the same!
We had a good time time shopping for a replacement for a 20 year old sedan. We could afford a Hyundai a Honda or a Toyota. We have good credit and almost half in down payment. We started Friday labor day weekend. And made our choice on Monday. We got to drive all three. All are great at something slightly different than the others. It was the Camry xse as base as we could get. To be completely truthful. Toyota was the only one that fought for our business. Demonstrated in 10% off MSRP and a fantastic APR with TFS. We probably would be equally happy had we selected any one of the three.
I have a Sonata hybrid limited 2022... It has all these things what's the exception of the power trunk(open & close, mine is manually open push button) But I do get higher mileage than what is reported here... 57 to 62 miles per gallon, I also have self park.
The only thing I’ve noticed about my new 2024 Hyundai sonata (I did get the listed trim) I noticed that the panoramic moonroof is actually blocked by the sunshade by about an inch when it is fully open! Still beautiful piece of glass on the roof, but yea, it is defiantly blocked by the sun shade a little bit. I assumed it was for making headroom for the backseat passengers
Like it was already mentioned a Camry full loaded XLE or XSE will get well over 40k. Plus the warranty is much shorter. Their subscription is also extra after the initial period (1/3 years). I absolutely hate the micro fiber cloth finish on the interior, the Sonata is much better looking. The only big zonk on the Sonata is it missing HomeLink on the mirror. The Accord is also missing HomeLink & SirrusXM plus their vented seats don't work very well.
Calling the Camry "cheaper" than your fully loaded Sonata is an apples to orange comparison. What is cheaper for the Camry is the starting price for a hybrid, starts at $28.4K, Sonata hybrid starts at $30.8k. If all you wanted was the cheapest hybrid sedan then yeah, Toyota wins. But start adding features to match Sonata Limited and the Camry is scratching $40K
I've been toying with following the crowd and getting some hybrid SUV...but i'm a stubborn ol' fart! I like sedans, I really dig this Sonata, this looks awesome
Indeed. Not sure where he got the Camry at $34k to compare to this top of the line Limited trim. If you spec out the Camry with XLE trim to get the same tech as this Sonata Limited, you're pushing $40k, and then you have to deal with the Toyota dealer markups.
I am driving a 2022 SEL hybrid sonata. When I bought it, that was my first time to drive Hyundai hybrid car, it was and now still is amazing to drive this car. I am sure it will lasts a long time, especially its reliable powertrain.
The Camry is cheaper base, but to load it out with every option like the Sonata goes over $40K... also why does everyone point out the hard plastics down below in Hyundais as if Honda and Toyota don't also use hard plastics down below? Lol
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Sonata or Camry? Or Accord?
all
Glad to hear they focused on a comfortable suspension. Too many cars today ride way too firm.

And was there any reason why they stopped the catfish headlights or whatever they're called where they fade up the hood?..

I thought the *whole* front bar was the daylight running lights?

The price of a fully loaded Toyota and the Hyundai are both around 38k. But the thing that sets Toyota apart is the AWD factor.
I bought the 2023 SEL Sonata hybrid because I found out the Bose would be limited to the Limited on the '24 model.

A full spec Camry is 40k. Great review!

1993 toyota celica front, I like it😊

how are you matt
Honda is not working on no AWD accord lol
Lol
The Camry is cheaper base, but to load it out with every option like the Sonata goes over $40K... also why does everyone point out the hard plastics down below in Hyundais as if Honda and Toyota don't also use hard plastics down below? Lol
dude, toyota camry with similar specs is def not cheaper! 😂
Camry trash Hyundai packs way more of a punch
Nothing trash about Toyota Camry in fifty years of driving and my first Toyota best car I have ever owned beautifully made in Japan.
It’s a fun car until it catches on fire or gets stolen with a usb cable
It uses a key fob so you at least don't have to worry about that
