Overview & Reviews
The Hyundai Sonata is redesigned for 2015 with a more refined look and a larger cabin. A new Eco trim level with a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine also debuts, although the more powerful 2.0T trim level has nearly 30 fewer horsepower.
- Smooth ride
- Lots of standard and optional features for the money
- Quiet and roomy interior
- Solid build quality.
- Sweeping roof line compromises headroom for taller passengers.
- Disappointing acceleration from Sport 2.0T

By Karla - April 22 - 5:34 pmI heard a lot of bad things about this vehicle recall wise. I like my vehicle so far! I hope its worth it.

Solid car for the money. - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By gorpot - April 18 - 8:27 pmBought the car 3 weeks ago, and have about 1,000 miles so far. Last car was a 2012 Sonata. This 2015 sonata drives very nice but is no sports car. I like the exterior design of the 2011-2014 Sonata a lot better, but the 2015 bring more conventional. The outside noise is almost none existent. This car is very quiet. Nice interior, and is bigger inside then my 2012 Sonata. Gas mileage has been good with 39 MPG on a trip mostly at 70 MPH. only complaint so far has been two trips back to the dealer to get a faulty rear window defogger switch fixed. One complaint is there is less storage room in middle counsel area above the transmission handle. A lot of dead area there.

Real impressive for the price - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By John - March 19 - 4:24 amThis car is all around a great buy so far, the Mpg is excellent I am averaging 34.5. On an all interstate drive I averaged over 38. The ride is pretty descent, road noise is average, radio sounds good, touch screen responds well, phone Bluetooth was easy and works great, instrument cluster has all the features you need then some and looks good. The interior is roomy, I am 63" 230 lbs and have plenty of room anywhere in the car. The trunk has plenty of space, the rear access seats are easy to open and close. Blu link feature works well, I schedule a service that the self monitoring system recommended. The only draw back I have is that I change my own oil and there is a cover blocking access to the oil plug and oil filter and no access door to them so you have to take out all the screws and remove the cover to access the plug and filter.

Better than I Could Have Imagined!!! - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By Stan Morris - February 16 - 4:45 amId like to make this review brief as possible, but I know thats not going to happen. I am so blown away by this vehicle that I tell everyone who comments on it that its now not just the best car Ive ever owned, its the only car to get in my mind(regarding the options/performance/warranty/reliability you get for the money). If you want to drop $70k on a vehicle with the same options and a little more pep, more power to you(literally). I own a Sonata Ltd with the Ultimate Package, and after driving in the high end Infinity/Audi/BMW, this vehicle is just as comparable in regards to the luxurious feel and amenities. From the Xenon headlights, LED running lights and LED interior lights(so crisp), to the LED taillights, to the sophisticated new styling, this car is the epitome of high class without the high class cost. The smart cruise, which is one of my favorite features, works beautifully and I use it frequently when on a long commute. Also, have you ever been trying to follow a friend or family member on the highway or interstate for a long commute and cant seem to get your cruise control set just right and either slowly gain or lose distance between them? Problem solved! With the smart cruise I just set my cruise speed for higher than I know the car in front of me will go, and simply stay behind them. If they slow, the car slows. If they speed up, the car speeds up. Even better, I can choose if I want to be a car length behind them or a few car lengths behind them. I have not tested it in city traffic, as I do not live in a big enough city, but I could see how it would come in handy(strike that, become a valued asset and seen as a necessity) when in slow moving or quick stop and go traffic. The Xenon headlights and LED taillights are truly remarkable in both functionality and in style. My wife told me she had to drive the vehicle so I could see the lights from the outside, and I was more than impressed. When seeing this vehicle traveling down the road at night you expect to see a familiar luxury emblem on the front, not the ever increasingly popular "H". I currently have my phone hooked up with the "Android Auto", and also have the BlueLink and Bluetooth set up on the car and all flawlessly perform as they should. I was impressed with all of those "little features" that the Android Auto provides and couldnt be happier with that addition. My only complaint, which cant be stuck on just the Sonata, is the visibility. My previous vehicle was a Navigator, and comparatively the visibility felt like it was cut in half. With that said, in all cars visibility has been cut down the same, so again this isnt just Hyundai. One positive note is that the blind spot works beautifully and it has saved me from cutting into a car on multiple occasions. On a side note, the blind spot has an ability to judge the speed of the car behind you, so if said vehicle is coming up really fast the blind spot will adjust to warn you earlier, as opposed to other blind spot systems that simply warn you once the vehicle trips the sensor. I suppose the only real downfall are the leather seats. They are premium leather, but not as soft as the napa leather that Ive enjoyed in the past. That being said, it seems like these seats are more durable and will hold up better. Additionally, the heated and cooled seats work beautifully, and Ive gotten multiple comments on the heated seats in the back. Alright, I could continue on and on about this car, but it feels like Im just going through the options package and commenting on how great it is, so you could just look at the package and know that all of it is exceptional. I purchased the extended warranty that covers bumper to bumper, excluding bumpers :-), for 10 years/100,000 miles, which I would suggest wholly to anyone considering this vehicle.

Over one year of use and it is still enjoyable. - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By Ted - February 4 - 10:27 pmThe car never stops my amazement in how little gas it uses. There are two week points that I have addressed. The factory tires are JUNK.... replaced with Pirelli P7. The car wanted to wonder (left & right) on all roads with any crown or grove. This was fixed with a bolt on strut tower brace that cost about $200 and is a simple 5 min installation. With those two changes the car went from OK to VERY GOOD. When you take a test drive make sure it is long enough with various road surface and speeds, as these items may not be a bother to you. One other item is road noise, it is much louder then a Chevy Malibu and many other new cars today.

Still a great ride - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By Paul Cocke - December 24 - 2:10 amMy 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited 2.0T, which I bought new four months ago, has more than 5,0000 miles on it and I can report no problems. The build quality is excellent - no rattles or squeaks. A few observations: * The turbo engine works great. You wont win any drag races, as it is a bit slow to get started, but once you get going the engine pulls effortlessly. I commute 60 miles a day through the rainy Cascade Mountains of Washington state and it is a very pleasant ride. I am getting 26-27 mpg combined and about 31 highway mpg. Taking the advice of my salesman - and encouraged by low gas prices - I use premium gas. The turbo seems to like that. * The smart cruise is excellent. I use it all the time. The blind spot warning already has prevented an accident or two. * Love the backup camera; the lane departure system is annoying but I leave in on for safety. * My grand children love the pull-down shades in back. * The car handles quite well. I never use the paddle shifters but do switch between eco, regular and sport driving modes. Sport seems to do better in the rain but cuts down on gas. I use eco around town. * I wish the car had fog lights. While the LED lights look cool they do not help with visibility. * Navigation works well and the car stereo is excellent. Between Pandora and XM radio my commute is much more interesting. * My biggest complaint is the automatic trunk opener. You can stand behind in with your keys in your hand for minutes and nothing happens. Then you casually walk by and the stupid thing opens. Still love the car. I have been watching and these 2015s have good deals right now. Wait until the end of the month for better deals. Negotiate ruthlessly and dont worry about the color. And dont be fooled by the addition of the stolen car service (a waste of money - your auto insurance likely covers it)

Great balance. - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By jcjc78 - December 23 - 4:18 pmMy family has always bought Hondas or Toyotas, but we dont really care for CVT transmissions. We decided to check out the 2015 Sonata just as a backup option, but we were very impressed. It doesnt do anything exceptionally well, but it is just such a good car overall that we purchased two of them: one for me and one for my father. It isnt fast, but it has enough power. The ride isnt soft, but it isnt rough or harsh. It doesnt get hybrid mpgs, but I average over 32 mpg with almost no highway driving. The interior styling wont win any awards, but it is very easy and intuitive...and spacious. Overall, a well built machine. Quite pleased with our decision.

Great bang for the buck - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By Happy Hyundai Owner - November 26 - 1:47 amI have had a total of 5 Hyundais​ now (4 Sonata Limited, and 1 Genesis). Ive owned BMW 5 series, and a Mercedes 500 SL (both nice cars), but Hyundai is by far the best bang for your money you can get. My only negative of the 15 Sonata is they didnt offer a v6 in it. Everything else is great. On a side note, my fully loaded 15 Genesis is a better car than either the BMW 5 series or Mercedes E series. The question I get most often when people see my Genesis? "What kind of car is that? A Bentley?"

14,000 miles of smooth, quiet trouble free driving - 2015 Hyundai Sonata
By Yomps - October 25 - 5:10 pmLove this car. Smooth, quiet, tons of room, great gas mileage, not one problem with anything. Package with back up camera, XM, power drivers seat, automatic headlights and the homelink auto dimming mirror made the base model a great commuter and road trip car. With very little effort I can get 40+ mpg on the highway and for a car this size thats amazing. The only thing I dont like is the buzz of GDI engine when its cold and no spare tire included (I bought one with the jack for $200). $21,500 out the door with 0% financing made it the perfect new car.
