This Korean midsize sedan BLEW MY MIND! Hyundai Sonata N Line 2024 review

The Hyundai Sonata used to be boring. Not anymore!
This updated 2024 Hyundai Sonata N Line model is a properly sporty sedan, with a powerful turbo-petrol engine and serious driving credentials.
The facelift has seen a Robocop style look adopted at the front, with the Seamless Horizon Lamp familiar from the Staria and Kona now appearing on the Sonata, too.
There's a restyled rear-end too, and the interior has been majorly overhauled as well. This feels far more modern than a Toyota Camry, and might actually be better considered as a petrol alternative to a BYD Seal!
So, is there anything bad about it? Yep. There's one thing that might ruin the drive completely. Watch the driving section to find out!

I just finished a 12800klm journey from Cairns...Brisbane...Newcastle....Bathurst....Barossa...Adelaide....Grampians....Great Ocean Rd, ...Geelong.....Yarra Glen.....Mornington Peninsula.....Merimbula....Canberra...Sydney....Toowoomba....Airlie Beach...Cairns. Stunning trip. Stunning car. Stunning overtaking ability. Stunning fuel economy 6.3l/100k overall. Got 5.2l/100k between Airlie Beach and Cairns averaging 85kph. Tried 95 octane but it gave me no better economy than 91. Tried to upload pictures via clipboard but I am not sure it has worked . In Reidsdale, I had three occupants, with their luggage, and the Airbnb house was on 5k of dirt roads. No problems at all. Still do not understand the SUV/UTE craze. My 4 laps at Mt. Panoroma was a treat.

@tommymotolla4604 Hi TM, there is only one model in Australia and that is the high performance 2.5 litre N LINE. I am currently making a YT video to record the very satisfying highway fuel consumption of this wonderful car. I published my first report in June/July. Put Sonata N Line Fuel Consumption and you will see what freeway/highway consumption I was getting before the long 13k trip. Thanks for your interest.

@cwmorph1959 8 месяцев назад

@tommymotolla4604 Here's a direct link to my first fuel consumption report, Tommy. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1nCvezfP_lQ.htmlsi=ZaJ79th5U_HFP5Rs Now, that I am back from my trip my odometer is indicating currently that I am getting 7.2l/100k. That is from short little urban trips but Cairns is not like Sydney or California in terms of density and number of traffic lights.

not true, in the North American market there are "sporty" Camry which would of been the equiv to our former Falcon XR6 and Commodore SV6, eve this gen Camry came with 3.5L V6 petrol power and of all things a "double wish bone IRS" which was tuned for grip, why it needed a Double Wish Bone IRS is only known to Toyota but it had it, the last Australia built car to ever have that type of rear suspension was the AU Falcon in Fairmont Ghia, XR8 and LWB Falirlane/LTD way back in 1998 to 2002. LOL even the Rav4 has a double wish bone IRS again for what reason? only Toyota know.

@iEnofadov 9 месяцев назад

I honestly forgot this car still existed in Australia! This facelift is spectacular! It's completely transformed the look of this car and it's worked! The previous Sonata looked like a bloated sad looking deep sea ocean fish, this one is sharp and athletic. On looks alone I'd buy this over the Toyota Camry hands down! However, those annoying chimes would put me right off! Because of the sloping rear on these, I'm surprised they weren't designed as a liftback! Liftbacks are so much more practical than 'coupe' looking sedans, Skoda certainly has the better option in the Octavia liftback. And I agree with you Matt, I'd love to see how the Sonata would look if Hyundai had done a wagon!

@Malte-Micha 8 месяцев назад

Liftback is so 1980's maybe in Austrailia people buy cars with liftbacks but everywhere else liftback is no go. Skoda is a Russian/Czech car. besides liftback what option does it have over the Sonata?? The Sonata has better tech in it, and is BETTER built.

@MaxFromSydney1 9 месяцев назад

Thanks alot, @Matt. With all the annoying functions and chimes in cars these days that some buyers might consider to be deal breakers, it would be great if your reviews could include confirming if/how these can be disabled. For example, on my 2023 Outback, the speed camera warning chime was a very loud and unpleasant shock, which thankfully I was able to permanently disable. There is Auto Start /Stop and four drivers aids, including Driver monitoring, Lane Keep Assist and Auto Emergency Braking, that I don’t like and I always manually turn off every time I start the car, but at least I have the choice to do that. I’d love it if car reviews don’t just tell us how annoying these features can be but whether they can be disabled. This disabling capability is not always possible for a would-be buyer to figure out on the average test drive.

@therightcar 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback. I won’t be doing detailed videos on how to disable things, though. I gloss over it because if you buy a car you can look it up yourself in the manual, or ask the dealership. The reason is it interrupts the flow. As a creator you’ve got to keep people engaged and going down rabbit holes on specific things will lose viewers. Thanks for your feedback!

BYD Seal would be a better option if you drive mainly in city/suburbs...but this Sonata is probably better for highway cruising (without range anxiety or charging delay). I suspect the choice depends on the buyer's dominant usage (city vs country drive).

@therightcar 9 месяцев назад

Yep, well summarised. But I think there’s probably more emotion in a purchase like this. It’s not just another blobby SUV for families. So obvious how you use your car will play a part, but you sure aren’t going to accidentally buy a midsized petrol sedan these days.

@davidb1630 9 месяцев назад

Even though some manufacturers offer a longer service interval they do it not because mechanical engineering has changed where materials can defy the laws of physics but because they lie to sell the cars by offering cheaper running costs. However, in the long run, 6,000km or 6 months is the most metal alloy, forged components will go in today's metals without where are tare killing longevity. Oil and filters are cheap compared to blown engines with today's tight tolerances, the more you change filters and oil the better. Some will say oil has improved, But the law of physics hasn't. Moisture from condensation still gets into oil over seasons mixed with any unburnt fuel, to produce acid with water mixed with oil. Fine engine tolerances are damaged from the acidic oils not being able to lubricate as efficiently. I own a Hyundai i3o CN7 sedan and it is flawless because oil and filter changes are regular every 6 months or 6, 000 km. The engine was run in properly to produce a car that would last a very long time.

Does not matter anyway because I can't handel all the bings and bongs they put into the Hyundai cars now. Yes I know you can turn it off but you need to do it each time so till they remove them all give you an option to turn them off perm I won't consider thier cars. The 10k service intervals are a bit annoying too. 8t shows Hyundai don't really trust thier engines. It's a shame too as they make nice cars, especially the I30 N sedan.

@therightcar 4 месяца назад

Lovely turbo petrol i4 with decent torque and power, seriously 422Nm is nice and fat and I'm sure that the torque curve means awesome mid range BOOST (how I miss mid range BOOST, seriously large displacement NA petrol i4 have ZERO mid range punch but tat is another story for another day). for the record a 4.9L Ford "Windsor" V8 from the AU Falcon back in 2001 made 200kW and 420Nm and that was mated to a 5-speed Borg Warner "T5" manual or a BTR 4-speed torque converter so yeah engine tech has come a long way. no doubt if you push a turbo petrol it will bite at the fuel pump but that's the beauty of turbo petrol also with a fat torque curve there is zero need to push into 5,000rpm or more as the engine's sweet spot will be the actual torque curve which for this vehicle is 2,000 to 4,500rpm (which is 198kW at the fly wheel) and in this instance the DCT makes sense as there is more than enough torque t pull tall gears and since its a DCT that also means two sets of final drive ratios, ok enough about the technical side. I love the seats but dislike the rest of the interior design, eeewww the twin digital screen in a one motion sweep is yukky (reason why I steered clear of the Tucson) as its touch input for HVAC, seriously who came up with that stupid idea? as for the rest or this? makes for a good police detectives car, for personal use well as we all know that no one buys sedans for personal family use these days, that said it is better than a Camry?

problem with diesel today is Euro 6, EGR, SCR ad DPF, all headaches if you live in the city/metro or do highway towing (re: SCR otherwise known commercial as Ad Blue) for passenger cars, most are Euro 6 even the Euro 5 ones have all 3 emissions control systems onboard. If you can find a non abused Ford MC Mondeo (which would now be around 11 years old) turbo diesel which has good service history especially for the (wet) DCT otherwise know as "Powershift" and has low km's they are Euro 4 (no DPF or SCR) but again has to have good service history, the "MD" version are Euro 5 and as such have DPF (but no SCR) but again service history is a must otherwise stay away as the DCT are a nightmare to get fixed money wise. My old work place had many MB/MC Mondeo wagon turbo diesel as fleet cars, fuel economy for the fleet cars where around 7L per 100km average, as long as the DCT was serviced every 30,000km (fluid) and the circuit switch changed at 60,000km (which is major service), that said Ford shifted away from fleet sales with the MD Mondeo as the fleet warranty repairs were costing them heaps in claims.
