Is the 2024 Hyundai Sonata a BETTER midsize hybrid sedan than a Honda Accord? 

Not gonna lie, one of the things I love most about Raiti's Rides reviews is that they're mostly made for those looking to buy a new car and Joe doesn't fail to mention the competition within its category and price bracket. Genius!

Thank you Joe and Lori! I very much like the drivetrain of the Sonata. No turbo and no CVT. Just hybrid system for extra power and efficiency, which is in my opinion the way to go if one wants reliability and longevity. The Koreans are killing it.

If the K5 had a hybrid system I feel like it would dominate with the Sonata. Kia/Hyundai are killing it.

Nice complete review! No CVT, blind spot monitoring cameras, sleek exterior, nice interior, lots of tech, best warranty on the market. Another win for Hyundai!

Ur my favorite person making videos reviewing cars love the creativity and vocabulary 👏

Love the Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid & it shows that yes, Hyundai went above & beyond when it comes to elevating the interior & I like the naturally aspirated 4 cylinder & the 6 speed automatic is a dandy.

11:20 took me out, wasn't expecting that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am thoroughly impressed with this vehicle! This Hyundai offers so much even a power rear trunk, which is super super rare in his class. Excellent review Joe!! always enjoy your commentary and perspective.🔥

Looks great! Thanks Joe and Lori!

I have a 2020 Sonata Limited which I love. My wife hates that there is no height adjustment for the passenger seat. Hyundai added that for 2021 but it seems they got rid of it again for 2024 so it is out of the running for my next car. Can’t subject my wife to sitting on the floor again and barely seeing out the window.

Nice video Joe 👍🏾

With all due respect. At this point anything is better than the new Accord.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

Thanks so much for this comprehensive review. Very difficult getting this level of information on brand sponsored sites. I'm in Canada and was looking at a 2025 K5, only to find out the K5 will no longer be available in my country. And you're the first reviewer I've seen to demonstrate the Sonata has the available in dash blind spot cameras available on the K5, I thought I'd have to do without. Thanks so much again.

Amazing review Joe.

I purchased this car last Friday, but in the SEL trim with the convenience pkg. It's really beautiful in person.

As always excellent review. I definitely like this new design for the front end 100% more. The wheels not so much a fan but maybe would be easy to change them.

Have a 2015 sonata and I LOVE it and definitely looking to get a newer one!

I remember in the late 80's I took a Sonata out for a test drive for some reason i declined buying one my first car was a Honda Civic Hatchback got it used found out it was in a bad accident so i went and got another used car the Nissan 200SX loved it Then in 1989 after trying out the Sonata I went for a 1989 Dodge Spirit ES V6 Silver Loaded Fog Lights came to near 22 Thousand dollars Loved that car so much but had lots of problems with Breaks and Pads Then Traded it in 1991 for a Blue Mazda Protege 323 SE Loaded Sunroof Spoiler . Love it you done those cars . also a 1992 Grand Prix Loaded Now that Hyundai Sonata has changed so much over the years Love the look of it now. the front reminds me a bit of the Lucid Car also what happened to that car don't see any in my Province of Nova Scotia , Canada Looking inside of the Sonata when you are sitting behind the wheel all you got to say now is Like Capt Picard is say Engage lol Love the white and grey inside when buying a car like that make sure you don't have kids eating candy or anything I see more Elantra's around in my city more than the Sonata's all in all I think the Car is Beautiful Great Video

Not bad joe like always great video’s 🇺🇸🦅👍🏻💯

Alright Joe let’s see if this Sonata will change the way we think

Don't change your review format and style. This and the car care nut reviews is all the consumer needs.

❤ Thank you, Joe and Lori!❤️

Better have a box of imodium tucked away in the glove box with all the Taco Bell you’re stuffing in that Sonata

I agree on the wheels. If I were to get the limited first thing I would do is get better wheels. If Toyota can put 19 on their hybrid then hyundai could have done better. I'd sacrifice a few mpg for little bigger and better looking wheels.

so between Sonata hybrid and Camry hybrid, which car do you like to drive more?

Really strange that there’s no Homelink transmitter at this trim level.

Looking at that bright color in the sun must be painful. Great review as always, Joe!

Love your video 📹 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💗

Are vortex generators really necessary on a 190 hp car ? They always look gimmicky IMO. Nice features and interior. Thanks Joe 🤙🏼

I enjoy Raiti's injection of humor throughout his reviews

Joe you did say this Sonata is bigger than the new Camry... I knew it' shrunk!😄

that is very nice Joe but I would go with the 2025 Legacy TouringXT which is being discontinued by Subaru after 2025 👍

Don't know if it's better but it is a great option to buy.

I'm currently looking to get a new car and am torn between this new Sonata and the new Camry. I think I could get a better deal with the Sonata as the new Camry will probably be in high demand. I was looking at the Accord but I don't think they offer as much for the similar price. I am concerned over Hyundai's reliability with all the coverage of their recalls and break-ins due to social media trends. In 2018 I bought a 2015 Hyundai Sonata shortly after college as my "new" car and loved it. I gave it to my brother in September 2023, as he needed a car at the time; I worked from home and rarely drove it. Since then he's spent hundreds on repairs that should have start appearing when he hit 100k miles. He only just hit 60k miles recently.

Yes of course Joe & I'm will buy this beauty.

I would go Camry for long term transportation. This car looks very sharp though.

I just purchased the same exact car.... I couldn't be more happier I looked at Toyota I looked at Honda and their interiors are like from 20 years ago... Hyundai has a better warranty this will be my third Hyundai I've had nothing but good luck... Just oil changes and tires....

Best looking sedan out there. Much better than accord

Not sure if I really love the design, but it's certainly good to have options

Alien suppository key fob hilarious 😂 cool car the wheels are a lil small tho for my taste but has a lot of room for sure 💯

This actually looks really good and I'm impressed with it.

Watching at 1:37 AM now but I am going to book a Camry 2025 tomorrow morning 😅

can't stand that steering wheel mounted shifter but overall great car 👍

I own last gen version. I love my car. No issues. I personally like how this shifts gears. I'm not into the CVTs offered by competitors. Those things feel like dogs.

Got mine was surprised it doest have a standard cruise control . Only the automated that will hit the breaks automatically.

I like the white with the light colored interior.

Looks very futuristic. I like it!!!

I love this car! Can’t wait to get it

Sonata refresh adds the light bar just like the Kona. honestly think it looks better here on the Sonata.

Right finder well looks out of line when you were reviewing the front wheels

Nice video nice car Joe

As owner of this car, it's more like 35/40 with 100% normal driving! Unless I'm doing something wrong!

I thought the seats had quilted patterns on the corners? I guess it didn't went through. What a shame.

You have mentioned. You hear more window noise? I think it is because the new toyota carmy has double acoustic glass windows.

So far so good.

Is the Sonata hybrid not available in canada? I only see the gasoline and N-line versions on their website

“On throttle” 🗣️🔊🔊🔊

Anyone looking to get into one of these bad boys come see me at Burlington Hyundai in Burlington NJ!!! Ask for Thea 😊 Joe wont fail you on these reviews take heed!

I had a 2024 Honda accord and they way I have to put gas in almost every 2 days is crazy ever since I switched to Hyundai limited the car features on the Hyundai are beyond amazing they leather seats the comfort in this vehicle are beyond amazing this gas runs good upstairs

It doesn’t matter what it will look like in five years. Hyundai/kia seem to refresh and redesign like every two years

Going Sonata - Aero Silver. Just like the design better and hope the quality last. Has better warranty and free Bluelink for life. Hyundai is trying real hard and making real design impacts. Never owned one as of yet. Stay tuned.

Hybrid Accord is not really a CVT , but they call it that. Guess its the closest they could come to

How do you shift on the column ? I am 70 don’t see where shifter is??

I would love the Sonata N__line if they offered all the extras that the Limeted has. Heads up diaplay , blind spot cameras and a little more ambient lighting

nice hyundai sonata

Did that gauge say 513 Miles of range?! 13:27 Hot damn. I can only get a maximum of 300 out opf my 2020 Fusion.

Don’t forget you can also leave your key home n start the car with your phone

Love my catfish sonata but this one looks great

No low gears on that car?

I'm deciding between this and a Lexus ES 300h.

I honestly think more companies should at the very least offer the option of an traditional transmission instead of cvt. Especially toyota since they're notorious for offering several different engine options.

Got me all excited, this is a 19” wheel, no 17” 😭😭😭

Sonata hybrid looks like a wow than N line

Design-wise, Hyundai & Kia are doing great, but I wish they work on their engines more

Beautiful car but I feel like the outside is bigger than the inside lol. All that front hood space, the inside could have been a bit space out especially the back seat.

Wheel size are a no go. Should have made them in a 19. I’m still looking at buying one.

Bring back the Visual Yoohoo's in the compartments!!

That’s A nice Car

To the door panels!!

Doesn't the hybrid have a 2.0 liter engine?

The main difference between Honda and Hyundai is their brand reputation and the features offered in their vehicles. Honda has a reputation for producing safe and reliable cars.

I know definitely looking at Hyundai’s also seems like Hyundai brand has gotten alot better over the years

Why can't they have a good old shifter and parking brake?

hyundai sonata hybrid all the way

I’m glad they got rid of the sluggish CVT. Hyundais have the best interior quality of its class

What is the difference between hybrid and electric please explain

That’s a helluva nice car for the money imo Joseph

i bought mine last wk

I'm not too fond of the front end, nor those wheels. I went back and searched your reviews of Sonatas and the 2021 N-Line is much more attractive.

I really hope some of this updates get passed down into the Hyundai Elantra.

Yeah, those wheels just don’t jive with the sporty look of the rest of the car. I think they’re carryover from previous years.

That color is sexi

Nice car

Lori is the bomb 💣

When will you be reviewing more classic muscle cars?

I have the ‘23 Accord Sport Hybrid and I gotta say, the Sonata (old or new) makes my Accord look like a plebeian car. Hyundai uses upscale materials, while Honda has been using cheap, disposable materials throughout the exterior and interior on the entire new vehicle lineup, even on the Prologue. Unlike the previous Accord, the new one is a major disappointment. It’s been to the shop 9 times (so much for reliability). Every time I’m on a rough road or go over a bump, the feeling on the Accord is as if it’s going to fall apart. You can see the dash, center console and all the mirrors move, and you can also hear excessive creaks and rattle everywhere. I don’t think Honda fully finished building my Accord lol. The new Camry looks nice, with more premium materials and more power than the predecessor, but it’s definitely nicer than the Accord. The only premium cars that offer comparable high quality materials to the Sonata are the K5 and Mazda 6.

So apparently hybrid Sonata has been shelved for Canada.. that's just lame!

Not a fan of the front end of this generation. Looks ugly and just too much going on. I do like the LED lighting they do in the rear

Mazda 6 got discontinued becsuce they couldn’t hang with the competition 😂
