290HP FWD Sport Sedan: 2024 Hyundai Sonata The Edge 2.5T N Line Facelift Test Drive Review 

Thanks for watching the video. I think so too. The overall performance and design have improved a lot. I really liked it!!

Thanks for watching the video! Thats what everyone said lol On the other hand, there always has been rumor that Hyundai cars manufactured to export or in the U.S have stronger body. I don't know what true, but back in the days, Hyundai cars manufactured in Korea had more rust issues than in the States. Hopefully they are better optioned in the U.S this time

All those features are available on the current sonata, so I doubt they wouldn’t have it for the US on the refresh.

Knowing how previous previous models have come out most likely not which is sad

360 cam? Bro just get a used luxury car at that point

@@cartiglobal Country being "closely" surrounded by a salty ocean but the north mustn't help.

Thank you for watching the video. I have been away from the U.S over 20 years and trying to use English as much as I can so I do not forget the language. It is never enough, but I try! :)

Thanks for watching the video. Oh~~~ I learned something new from you today. Thank you. So the fin does makes difference! Gotcha!! :)

Thanks for watching the video. K5, Sonata, Camry, Accord... they are all within the price range/segment. They will always compete and it will only get better(At least I hope!)

Thanks for watching the video. Yes, to me, the suspensions for Hyundai/Genesis cars are too soft. It also has to do a lot with my personal choice and taste. The soft suspension gives me carsick lol

@@cartiglobal your welcome.

Thanks for watching the video. The N Line surely was fun. I am positive it would had been a lot more fun if it was produced as the N, not the N Line. What do you think? :)

I’m really hoping Lamda 3.3L V6, same one as Kia Stinger

Actually the refreshed ElentraN will be the last ICE *full N* produced. Hyundais decision apparently. Nline for ICE. I just watched a face lifted ElentraN review. According to the reviewer were on the last cycle of ICE full N vehicles (no new Kona N for instance). Most likely any future full N product will be EV only like the new Ionic N.

@@techpappee Thanks for the info. What a shame tho :/ I'm glad I got the '23 EN then. Seems like the EN will be very sought after and somewhat rare to acquire in the near future

​@@kNiFeNuTt Kona N in Gravity Gold will be a unicorn in the near future imo

Thanks for watching the video. Yes, you are right. But then even on regular driving, I felt more insecure. I know LKA is doing what it supposed to do, but maybe I am just not very used to it :)

Thanks for watching the video. No AWD on all the Sonatas and no signs of the Hybrid model yet, but I am sure it will be 1.6T

Thanks for watching the video. I just checked the Hyundai website and looks like it doesn't come with wireless carplay. I didn't see it in the listed detail

Thanks for watching to video. It must have gotten on your nerve many times. Well, like you said Hyundai has opened up that spot. Time to get a new car? lol

i think they should do that but instead the Sonata be a full N car with that much hp.

Thanks for watching the video. Personally, 2.5L has so much potential. Even kia stinger 2.5 has 300 hp and it is shocking that the N line Sonata less hp than the Stinger. They should have made it a bit more powerful if they want to have a separate performance line such as Honda Type R's

Thanks for watching the video. Hopefully it was helpful!!

Thanks for watching the video. I remember trying it, but I didn't know how it really worked and what I had to do. Theoretically, I understood how to, but in reality I wasn't able to get it worked. One of few things I regret the most. Even with the IONIQ5 N, I couldn't get it worked. I don't know what went wrong. I felt so stupid :( I will learn and get it worked soon in my future video.

Thanks for watching the video. You like it? I loved it!

Thanks for watching the video. It was Black(Urbis Black Pearl)

Thanks for watching the video. The options are different from countries to countries. I hope theres not too much difference!

The US Spec has no Seat memory, valet seat buttons, heated wheel, or Blind spot view. It does have the power trunk now. It is FWD only like the current one.

Thanks for watching the video. I just checked the Hyundai website and the wireless carplay was not on the list.

Thanks for watching the video. I believe that is the finger scanning button. However, the car was a testing vehicle that the scanning button wasn't active :)

Thanks for watching the video. Unfortunately, it was the testing vehicle and the video was filmed in the summer time. I no longer have the car anymore. What I can tell you is that none of Hyundai cars have heating issue so I am positive it is good to use. I would say it would take about 5 mins to heat-up the windshield once you start driving. I have never experience heating taking a long time once starting to drive. 5 mins should be about right. Korea has 4 seasons and people drive and commute everyday using their cars. I confidently say, in 10 min(max 15min), it will be at full warm. Hopefully my answers are helpful

It is available!

@@canadianaviatorno it’s not🤨

Thanks for watching the video. It's been over 25 years since my last visit to the Big Apple. Imagining driving the 2.5T N Line Sonata in the Big Apple...awesome!

Thanks for watching the video. I really liked the new Sonata. I was very surprised at the fact that the Sonata is not only spacious, but also powerful enough to have fun :)

Thanks for watching the video. Fasting...failed lol

Thanks for watching the video. Yes! I was amazed at how Sonata can make my driving so much fun. It has spacious interior and enough horse power to have fun on and off. I would love to buy it but I only have 55000 miles on my 2016 BMW 3series. Wifey wouldn't be too happy about getting a new car lol

Thanks for watching the video. Totally agreed!!! I found the car very practical and attractive!!

Thanks for watching the video. Let me see if I can pull some connections to Mr.Chung lol I would love to test drive the Hybrid model. Let me see what I can do!!

Thanks for watching the video. I see ur taste. In my eyes, the new Sonata looks gorgeous. I would also have matt color than glossy colors juat like you. Not too many 4wd sedans in South Korea. SUVs u can choose either 2wd or 4wd. I think its partly because of weather. Front wheel drive is actually more controllable during the winter than rear wheel drive. Yeah 4wd would have been better, but oh well what can I say? :)

Thanks for watching the video. The new Sonata sure was fun to drive and the engines were definitely better than before!

Thanks for watching the video. I currently live in Korea and I get to review Hyundai, Genesis and Kia cars for review. Because I do not work for Hyundai(I only review), I cannot tell you much about the launching date, specific trims/models and price ranges. Please understand. What I can do is to give you information based on domestic models(Korea)

Thanks for watching the video. Yes thats what I figured. I really liked the car!!!

Thanks for watching the video. 290HP is very fun to play with, but what I felt is that it is not delivering all the power from the engine since it is a front wheel drive. I guarantee that it would have been so much more fun if it had been manufactured as a rear wheel drive or awd. But, Korea is a country with 4 distinctive seasons and it snows a lot in the winter and it rains a lot in the summer. Plus it is a 4 door sedan so I am thinking engineers who built this car made all those factors into consideration. However, It is fun enough. If you got a heavy foot and enjoy speed(I still think it is good enough), you may want to try something different such as Stinger 3.3. Again, I still think it is good enough.

It does look dark violet lol

Thanks for watching the video. They are not top notch, but they are aight for Sonata, aren't they? :)

Wow! Thanks for pointing out! Duhhhh~~

Thanks for Clicking the video. You have just watched the Mighty 2.5T N Line Sonata :)

Thanks for watching the video. Agree! It's getting better but it still needs a lot of improvement.

Just an opinion, but could you perhaps add technical details in your future review? Example: 1: Realistic fuel efficiency tests 2: Specific engine/transmission specifications. ex. Gas direct injection or port injection, A/T or Dry DCT or Wet DCT 3: Seat comfort, range of movement. 4. Realisttic trunk space and foldable rear seats. 5. Cabin noise.

I will keep that in mind!!! Thx for sharing ur opinion. Every bit helps!!

The never ones are pretty stout

this one has gdi+mpi so less concern for carbon deposit hopefully

Thanks for watching the video. Sonatas have been sold in the U.S and I am sure it will arrive there in no time:)

US dealer told me they'll be getting them starting in late September / October.

Thanks for watching the video. On highways, speed limit is at 100 or 110km/h and it is important to obey the traffic law. However, people drive at high speed here and there. I am one of them too. Of course, I am jot trying to drive too insanely but I do once in a while so I can have some fun and release stress. Safety first always though! Safe driving, my Russian friend!!

@@cartiglobal 200 км/ч получается разогнаться? Без последствий перед законом?

시청해주셔서 감사합니다. 예전에 비해 현대, 제네시스 기아의 자동차 품질이 좋아져서 그런지 리뷰하시는 분들이 점점 늘고있는 것 같긴합니다. 저희같은경우엔 Test car를 스폰받긴하지만 완벽하게 리뷰하는 것은 사실상 좀 부족하다고 느끼긴 합니다. 제조사마다 느껴지는 차이점이 분명 있지만 그래도 과거보다는 정말 많이 향상되었고 이제는 일본차와 견주어도 될만큼 많이 발전했다고 생각이듭니다

Thanks for watching the video. I almost agree with you, but it's kinda funny that the Sonata N line pushes 290 horses while the Veloster N and Avante N push 275 & 280 horses. I was a bit confused, but it is what it is.

Thanks for watching the video. I hope u get what u want!! :)

Thanks for watching the video. In my understanding, Europeans like to drive something compact and practical, aren't they? Isn't it why? I mean EVs is a different story, but... correct me if I am wrong. :)

@@cartiglobal Nuh, they get culturally nurtured and dictated by market to drive "SUVs" which are more like CUVs. The people in Germany who drive small and compact cars are usually those who don't really want to drive but have to and are incapable of driving good. The SUV drivers are usually women who just can't park but don't give a F because Hubby pays. Those who are Car Guys like me or just enjoy driving, and having something practical on hand rather get themselves long estate cars or sedans. The "small" cars in Germany for Car Guys are generally Sport Coupes and Cabrios like Z4 M40i, Mazda MX-5 etc, C-Coupe, M4 etc.

"The SUV drivers are usually women who just can't park but don't give a F because Hubby pays"

@@cartiglobal Exactly

Thanks for watching the video. Well...one thing I can say is that it was a huge jump for the Sonata to be this good! That's for sure!

شكرا لمشاهدة الفيديو. أنا لست فلبينيا. أنا كوري أحب أن أرتدي أقراط وقلادة :)

@@cartiglobal 😂✌️ كنت أظن

لدي سؤال هل لا زال محرك 2.5 تنفس طبيعي موجود على السوناتا نفس الجيل السابق

سوناتا لم يكن لديها 2.5 توربو من قبل. كان هناك في الغالب طراز 2.0 لتر ، ولكن ربما كان هناك طراز 2.5 لتر منذ عدة سنوات. منذ أن كتبت بالعربية ، لم أحصل على سؤالك جيدًا. لقد استخدمت الترجمة من Google ، لكنني لا أعتقد أنها تنقل رسالتك بالكامل.

@@cartiglobal انا استخدم مترجم قوقل 😂😂 واضح كلامك لا مشكله

Thanks for watching the video. Apparently, the N line doesn't come with AWD. It only comes with front wheel drive :)

It does not, would have been great though

@afarangi4839 agreed, looks like there might be a Sonata N coming up. Hope that gets awd atleast!

Thanks for watching the video. Feel free to share your opinion at any time. :)

Спасибо за просмотр видео. В целом это хорошо сделанный внедорожник. Когда дело доходит до дизайна, он у каждого свой. Лично мне кажется, что задняя часть очень некрасивая, но салон выглядит потрясающе!

Thanks for watching the video. :) :) :) The Sonata is like Accord of Hyundai. It's been there for a long time. It is probably the most reasonable and practical Korean sedan for the longest time ever. At Least thats how I feel :)

Sonata is copying Accord. Interior, exterior, name and everything.

The Sonana was first shown in 1985 and has been a steady seller from Hyundai, just like Honda Accord has been. They are both great cars. However, the gap between these two are getting narrower. Who would have thought that the Sonata is as good as Accord? :)

@@cartiglobal I drove both car. I can’t decide. I fell in love with both cars. They are excellent cars.

Thanks for watching the video. I didn't get what you are asking fully. The Edge has a HUD

Thanks for watching the video. Thanks for correcting it. It always good to learn and use proper words and terms! Ty!!

Thanks for watching the video. THE LKA helps you stay within the two lines on your lane. Some find it very handy, but for me it was a bit hard to adopt maybe because I am oldschool.

@@cartiglobal I’m younger guy it love old school this sounds pretty boring to my modern cars will take out the fun of driving watch and see in the near future for a car enthusiast like myself would be pointless to buy any new car anymore.

@@Nick-1992-SRByou can just turn it off though.

@@hannibalhector3719 Good to know that thanks.
