I love my vehicle. The leather seats are very comfortable and I love that both the front and back have heated seats. The temperature system and radio controls are all great and super easy to use. The vehicle has been very reliable for me, I have not encountered any problems.

The sonata hybrid is large as far as cars go and has a comfortable interior.
For being a hybrid, gas mileage is not as good as expected, or reported. It is extremely low to the ground and not good in bad weather. The interior is spacious and comfortable, and the only mechanical problems I have experienced are a defective key and dead battery.

Headlights are dim and should be brighter.
I wish I could go to harder terrain and take it camping. It is just a bit too low to do that in some cases. I also wish the headlights were much brighter than they are. I feel like I can hardly see anything driving at night. I can also never find windshield wipers that work well with the windshield.

I summarized it in the previous paragraph.
I have not had any problems thus far with my sonata hybrid. It is a very reliable car and definitely very great on gas. Very comfortable and roomy inside. I love all the extras, the GPS, moonroof, sound system. Everything about this car is great. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. The blue drive is great, turning it off adds a little extra power, but I only use that going up and down my gravel road. When I am on the highway my blue drive is on at all times. My daughter enjoys the seat warmers in the backseat as much as I do the front seat. Trunk is very roomy as well. Overall, a wonderful car and highly recommended to anyone, at any age or gender.

It is just a nice little car all the way around.
It a nice decent car to get you from place to place. But my shocks are kind of messed up but it still does it is duties. It is a five seater nice size trunk it was a hand down so for that it is pretty nice and I am very much thankful. The seats are very nice and soft. The heat works amazingly the back windows roll all the down.

2013 Hyundai sonata hybrid: a great car available at very low used price.
The Hyundai sonata hybrid limited had a smooth quiet ride. Has a lot of great features and gas mileage so far has been in the low to mid 30’s. Fit and finish, seat comfort, back-up camera, navigation GPS, and Bluetooth make this a great car choice. After driving for 2.5 years on a lease, I still think this car is a great value for the money. However, combined mileage is slightly better than my wife’s 2012 version. I get low 40’s combined and Hyundai seems to overestimate the overall mpg. Also, the 2013 sonata hybrid has the battery in the trunk which does limit trunk space. I realize Hyundai changed battery location in newer models to increase trunk capacity. Overall, if you are looking for a great used car, the 2013 Hyundai sonata hybrid has a lot of great features and value compared to Honda or Toyota. However, hybrid battery technology is better with other mfgs. I plan on looking at the Hyundai Elantra gt when my lease is up because I refuse to buy a Prius and would like to get better mpg closer to 50 combined.

Car continues to perform well. Nothing other than regular scheduled maintenance.
Rear camera has been on a delay for the past couple of years. Hesitation at stops has been more frequent these past couple of years. Performance has been fine, gas mileage is good. So far the reliability is good. The features on this car are far better than my last Hyundai. The comfort lacks on long drives as the seats are more sport than comfort.

Great gas consumption and economy car.
Car really drives well. I just do regular oil changing and I have not had any major issues it. Everything works really fine. Gas consumption is decent. I think it is a good and economic car for low budget people or people looking to save some money. I will recommend it.

My dream car has everything.
My hyundai sonata hybrid is the best car I have ever had! My favorite features have to be the heated seats and backup camera. What's also super cool is how you can set different temperatures for the driver and passenger side of the car. Additional features include cruise control, being able to connect to your cell phone via bluetooth, and buttons on the rearview mirror that can be used to open garage doors. It has not need any maintenance besides the regular oil changes and a new set of tires. If I had to fault it for anything, the headrests do lean your head forward to an uncomfortable degree, so I just took my headrest out. The display in front of the steering wheel really has hit 50 mpg before, but generally stays in the 35-48 range for me while driving.

Transmission went out at 69k those were original miles
The transmission went out at 68k miles. It was in the shop for almost a month. Very updated and look new. Goes pretty fast too. The tire pressure sensors for out more often than they should. Awesome gas mileage and it's a small tank. The headliner shows all the dirt.

Hyundai sonata hybrid is a great car.
This is my first hybrid vehicle and I love it! I get great gas mileage (about 40-45 mph) and the handling is great. I wish the headlights were a bit brighter from factory. The radio is a bit outdated and you cannot get an aftermarket radio installed because the ac controls are only visible on the screen. The audio system is great! Wonderful sound quality!

Worst. Purchase.
Worst purchase I have ever made. I bought my car 3 years ago and have nothing but problems. First it was the hybrid system safety warning. Replaced computer module TWICE, still wasn’t fixed. Replaced all sensors and belts. Car died again, replaced the transmissions. My car has died for the 5th time today is back at the dealership for a transmission issue. A transmission that was just replaced 8 months ago.

My vehicle has checked almost everything I was looking for in a car.
The performance is great. There's is the 'blue drive' which helps you save on gas. I love the panoramic sunroof. When searching for a car I needed to make sure that the back seats had air vents that went to those passengers and this had that as well as heated seats. I do wish that with it being the limited series that it had remote start and that the driver's seat had the memory to move back to the way the main driver likes it once the car starts. Would like a bigger trunk space but understand it cannot because of the other battery in the back. Other than that I like the car very much and it suits me and my family's need at the moment.

Best features of my sonata hybrid limited.
Very reliable with very minor maintenance issues. Great mpg with a classy sleek look while still affordable. Very comfortable leather seats with roomy interior. Leather seats, 6’ inch touch screen, seat heaters, XM radio roomy trunk with fix a flat included.

Excellent car for around town and on the highway.
I love the gas mileage of the car and how versatile it is for around the city and even on the highway. I think that there could be some more legroom on the car, however it can get a little bit cramped during long trips but overall a nice car and would recommend.

Runs for miles without any gas.
I love the look of vehicle firstly. I am in love with the leather throughout, the heated seats, and the gas mileage is amazing! I travel for work, and I am very satisfied with the amount of gas I get for very little cost to me. The fact that is a hybrid over all adds another level to it. I love the sound system is great, the GPS is kind of older technology, but it gets the job done just as well. I really love everything about my Hyundai sonata hybrid-limited.

Great gas mileage, trustworthy and comfortable. Very reliable!
I love the gas mileage that I get from this vehicle! It has been a super reliable car that is comfortable to drive. I have had no issues from it other than routine maintenance. I would definitely recommend a Hyundai sonata hybrid to buyers looking for a trustworthy and economical option in a vehicle.

Hyundai Sonata is amazing
The Hyundai Sonata drives so nicely, it's smooth and you go from 0-60 so quickly you don't even realize it happened. Very fancy looking on the inside. Definitely the most fancy car I have ever owned. Very spacious inside it too!! Only downside to the car is how expensive the battery is if it goes out.

Great hybrid, long-lasting
My Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has been a great car. Very little maintenance. The hybrid battery has lasted 180,000+ miles and I still get very good gas mileage. Not quite what I expected but still very good. I had one battery issue and it was costly. The biggest issue with hybrids is that the fixes are not cheap and can hit the pocketbook hard.
Teresa F
on August 13, 2020
Would purchase another one.
Seats seem a little low, and it can take a while to get used to the way a hybrid drives. Otherwise it is a great vehicle! It is always comfortable inside, and we've never had any issues, but we keep it properly maintenance. These cars last a while.

Hyundai sonata hybrid review.
I love my vehicle! It is a hybrid so it is great on mileage and gas! Maintenance for my vehicle can be a bit expensive but it is worth it to upkeep the integrity of the vehicle. I have driven across the country a few times now and it is a very reliable car. I love forward to keeping this car for a few more years.

Great, sporty looking, comfortable car!
Love it. Gas mileage is great. The car is very comfortable and spacious. The technology in the car is a little outdated at this point, but great for 2013. No major issues over the last 7 years. Just wish it did better in the snow since we live in a cold climate.

Satisfaction and concerns
Great on gas. Ran into some problems with 'charging system failure' sensor, would stall and have to turn car off. Happened 3 times within a few weeks. Hole in air conditioning condenser when I bought car so needed to get repaired. Other than those problems, I really like the car and it is spacious.

The short of it, long time owner.
I have really enjoyed owning this vehicle. We were the second owner of this car so it came with a few imperfections to begin with. For instance, the back of both the driver and passenger seats are scratched up nicely from the children I believe occupied the backseat. This is also a very nice feature of this car, we too have children and find that mud, grass, dirt, blood, soft drinks, and dog slobber all clean up beautifully because of the hard plastic seat protectors on the back of the seat. We have had a few electrical problems with the vehicle, the passenger side mostly. The windows do not work from time to time and the over head light seems to have a mind of it is own. We just keep it turned off and it is no longer a problem. . One other thing that might not affect everyone, the seats are low. I am only 5'2' so when I am in the passenger seat I can not see over the dash. The driver seat allows you to raise the seat up and down as well as back and forward, the passenger side does not. Overall very pleased with this vehicle and would recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time in the car or long commutes.

What's not to love? Gas and money efficient!
Love the gas mileage! Brakes are soft. Does not have a lot of get-up-and-go, but for what I need it is fine. Love the sunroof and the other digital features. Heat/ac could use a little more power. I like the seat warmers in the winter. I would highly recommend this car to people. I have saved enough money each month in the cost of gas that I could make my car payments!

Sonata is great for families and your pocketbook.
This car has great gas mileage. I only have to fill up every other month. It is comfortable for our family of four, and has very few mechanical issues. I also like that I can park in energy friendly parking spaces. I plan to drive my sonata hybrid as long as I can. A great investment automobile.

Sonata hybrid review: 5 stars!
I love this vehicle. It is super smooth and easy to drive. The heated seats and sunroof on my car is very nice. I enjoy listening to Pandora on long car rides via the Bluetooth feature in my car. I like the fact that this car is a hybrid, because we can go several days without even having to worry about needing gas and we drive this car for a minimum of 3 hours per day!
Kimberly H
on April 30, 2020
Reliable car but the upkeep is important!
I really like the way my Hyundai sonata hybrid looks. It drives really great and it has been a reliable car. However, the o2 sensor has gone bad and it has affected just about everything in the vehicle concerning the performance of the car. It seems like it is the transmission but I found out it is actually due to a bad o2 sensor.

It is a 2013, black Hyundai sonata hybrid. It is an automatic with four doors.
My car has always been very reliable, it is great for me because this type of car is great on gas. It has a lot of space in the trunk and I love that I can put the seats down to make more space. It has simple pleasures such as seat warmers and dual ac. It is very comfortable to drive in and I love that the cabin is not loud on the highway. It does tend to get very hot inside of it but my car is black which causes it to heat up easier. The only thing I do not like is that the shift can be pushed to the side as if to change gear when my car is an automatic. So when I push the gear on its side, the car tends to fall back a bit. Either way, I still enjoy this vehicle.

Feels like I am driving a super luxurious car.
I absolutely love the way my car looks. The interior leather package makes me feel like I am driving a luxury vehicle. I love how quiet the ride is because of the hybrid engine. The only complaints I have is that it does not handle that well in the snow. I have even upgraded the tires and it still slips a lot when there’s snow or ice on the ground. I am ok with it but it makes me nervous when my children drive it. The engine also does an odd revving thing which of you are not used to can feel like you do not have control of the car. Something I am used to but the other drivers in my house complain about.

Hyundai Sonata is a good car but not great a one
This Hyundai Sonata model rides very smooth. The Acceleration is delayed. I would love it if it had a GPS built in and if they had a radio screen that included more than just the radio channel. Seats stain easily. A few times when it has been in reverse, the car stalls and I cannot move. Gas mileage is above average

Limited trunk space/problems with panoramic sunroof.
Engine software needs to be updated when transferring between hybrid and gas engine. The panoramic roof has leaked in the past due to the rubber seal which looks cheaply made. The hybrid battery in the rear of the car takes up trunk space when compared to similar non-hybrid vehicles.
Virginie D
on January 23, 2020
Comfortable, smooth and elegant ride.
It is a comfortable vehicle. A smooth ride. Spacious seating. We feel safe. I like that there is a GPS system integrated into the vehicle. However, I think it is little bit too wide. Also there is a bit of a blind spot (the two trims that surround the front glass on each side are a bit too wide thus creating a n blind spot.

Hyundai sonata hybrid pros and cons.
Takes a bit to get up to speed, smooth ride, comfortable seats, good sound system. Seats are ventilated and heated, two heat settings. Has a nice touch screen with navigation and FM/am/XM radio. Low set to the ground, has turn signals on mirror along with led light strip around headlight.

Amazing gas mileage with wonderful features.
I haven't had any problems with my sonata. It is the third vehicle I have ever owned, and the absolute best car I have ever had. The mileage is phenomenal (usually close to 40 mpg), and it is a quiet ride. I do a lot of driving between Kentucky and Tennessee, and it is never given me any problems. I love how easy it is to link my phone to it so I can listen to podcasts or music I have saved on my phone, and the hands-free calls are clear and easy to manage. The built-in navigation is a bit dated, but only once has it gotten me turned around, and that was on back roads that were fairly easy to navigate. I'll probably get another sonata the next time I need a new car.

An interesting highlight about this car is that the car runs very smoothly.
My main concern with this car is that it does not tell me when the lights are on when I get out of the car. At least three times the car battery has gone out. Sometimes the front passenger seat will get lose and say that it is open when it is closed. The car is reliable with how smooth the car drives and the air conditioner works great wonders. The seat adjusters work wonders.

This car is excellent on gas!!
I love my Hyundai! It is great on gas, it is got some get up and go too! It comes with seat warmers and the design is sleek and slender. Love it! There has only been one recall on it and it was a safety feature regarding the seatbelts. But it is been resolved and I didn't have any real issues. Definitely a car I would buy again and again!

Fun and comfortable, full of spunk and soul.
I love the get up and go that my car has. It is also roomy and comfortable. It is been a very reliable car so far. I do not like how the car lags sometimes when I do step on the gas. It is like there's a problem between switching from electric to gas and vice versa. I only wish it came with a sunroof.

Auto is 9 yrs old and has been very reliable..
Transition from gas engine to electric can be harsh at times. Pickup is slow when in electric mode but other than that the vehicle has been reliable. Overall gas mileage is not that much better than an all gas version. Vehicle does handle well and the body styling is attractive.

Hyundai sonata hybrid: great family vehicle.
The Hyundai sonata hybrid has been a very reliable vehicle for me and my family. It gets very good gas mileage, approximately 35 mpg combined city and highway. We've never had a mechanical issue with it since we've owned it, which has been 7 years and 105,000 miles. It has a spacious interior that has made it a great vehicle to take on long road trips with the family. It has enough get up and go for a hybrid that you do not have to worry about merging onto a freeway. The biggest issue that I have with it is the trunk. It is average size, but the configuration of it is a little clunky for me. We are in the market for another vehicle, and one of the ones that we are looking at is the Hyundai sonata hybrid.
Christine L

Sonata hybrid is the car I drive.
I love the mileage. I love the car when I am driving it but the passenger seat is very low. Both seats are comfortable and heated. The vent in the backseat could be more powerful. Plenty of room to fit five. It has XM radio but I do not use. It is white with blue.

Nice car with great reliability.
Depending on how often the car is used, the only problem I have had is the usage of brakes and having to change the brake lights, high beams, and low beams light often. As far as gas it has good mileage for the car. The color is great and has lasted a few years.

Smoothly-Running, Beautiful Car w/ Minor Issues
I've had some issues with my transmission and defrosters, but overall I am extremely happy with my car. The leather interior, heated seats, power controls, back-up camera, and panoramic roof all feel like very expensive touches. The car is comfortable and spacious. It drives very smoothly. The gas mileage is decent; it is definitely less of a gas guzzler than my boyfriend's vehicle and it is the preferred car in our household.

Best detail is the hybrid part.
It has been a great car, gets good gas mileage, have had to buy one battery in past 6 years, rides well, is low maintenance, has GPS built in, good for taking on trips, comfortable ride, have had to buy one set of tires in six years, would buy another one in years to come.

Good car very reliable, comfortable have GPS system and a board for back parking. The problem is a little bit difficult for me to see the road if I want to make a turn or u turn because I cannot see. Otherwise the car is good and very strong. My car color is black which I like and gives to it a very stylish look.

2013 Hyundai sonata hybrid.
It is a very easy car to drive and had lots of trunk space. Very good gas mileage and has hands free phone calls, as well as an aux cord and other phone charging capabilities. Seats 5, 4 comfortably, and has good airflow. Very light car so snow tires are needed in the winter to prevent slipping.

The old car that drives smoothly.
The car drives really smoothly. Right now there are not many car problems. However, because the car is old, sometimes the battery does go out. The interior is a comfortable leather and there are many places to hold items. It is easy on the gas because it is a hybrid. It also is not loud which I really enjoy.
