An excellent car with a few minor flaws keeping it from perfection

If you asked me a few years ago if I’d buy another Hyundai, I probably would have hesitated. The last generation looked a bit like a catfish, and the style just didn’t impress me. But the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Limited Hybrid? This is a different story. It’s modern, it’s high-tech, and honestly, I think it’s going to age really well. After living with it, and driving it, I’ve got a lot to say. It’s a value leader packed with features, but it’s definitely not perfect. The Look: Future-Proofing Hyundai nailed the futuristic aesthetic. The integrated turn signals give off a BMW M-badge vibe, and the front light bar is seamless—unlike other brands that break up the line with orange markers. The rear has a “fastback” slope that looks spectacular, and the trunk is massive. I actually fit a 12-foot extension ladder and groceries for a family of five in there at the same time. 1. The most annoying thing is how during winter, it lights up like a christmas tree and says all the features aren't working. I have to shut off and restart my car while driving. 2. Lighting Upgrades (Essential) The factory backup lights are absolutely horrendous. I couldn’t see anything behind me at night. The Fix: I swapped them for brighter LED backup bulbs. 3. The rear body design tucks under, meaning the tires fling dirt directly onto the blind spot monitoring sensors. If those sensors get coated in mud, they stop working. The Fix: A set of simple mud flaps front and rear solved this and keeps the paint clean. 4. Anti-Glare Side Mirrors Here’s a weird cost-cutting measure: The rearview mirror auto-dims, but the side mirrors do not. In a car this low, headlights from trucks blind you. The Fix: I installed tinted anti-glare covers on the side mirrors. They cut the reflection down significantly. The Drive: Sportier Than You Think Don’t let the “Hybrid” badge fool you. In Sport mode, this thing is surprisingly peppy—I can even get the tires to squeal. I mostly drive in Eco, but it handles curves well and is way sportier than the sedans of five years ago. However, the “Green Mode” is a cool idea with poor execution. It’s supposed to switch to EV mode when you get close to home, but it kicks in 4-5 miles out, drains the battery, and then the gas engine turns on right as I pull into my driveway. The Startup Ritual: The car doesn’t save my regenerative braking settings. Every time I get in, I spend 30-45 seconds turning on Lane Assist, holding the paddle to switch to Auto Regen, and waiting for the infotainment to boot past the warning screen. The Turn Signals: These are the loudest, most obnoxious turn signals I have ever heard. My wife actually asks me not to use them because they are so annoying. The “Fake” One-Pedal Driving: The regen braking is great until you hit 6-7 mph, where it just stops, forcing you to use the physical brake pedal to finish the stop. Final Verdict Despite the loud blinkers and the startup lag, the 2025 Sonata Hybrid is a steal. You get ventilated seats that actually work, a fantastic camera system for parking, and 600+ miles of range per tank. If you’re willing to spend a few bucks on fixing the flaws, it’s one of the best daily drivers on the market right now.

Car is stylish, fun to drive and so economical

I wanted an electric car, but my husband was not a fan. So we compromised on a hybrid. We were Sonata owners for years and already liked working with Hyundai. I love this car,

The steering and acceleration performance are not up to the mark.

The steering is a bit harder to handle compared to other vehicles. Also, when it comes to pickup, the vehicle makes a lot of noise when you press the accelerator.

2025 Sonata hybrid review

Good on fuel and half way comfortable. Needs softer seats and the dash board is way to dim and you cant see some icons, too small

Great car with one lingering issue

Purchased a 2025 Hyundai Sonata, hybrid Limited. The car is beautiful and comfortable to drive. I enjoyed all of the features on the limited and loved the interior and exterior. However, there was a lingering issue that arose within a week of picking up the car. There was a creaking noise on the driver side that was always heard upon acceleration and acceleration, even at low speeds. Only when pulling off and stopping the car, would I hear the creaking sound. Took it to the dealership to figure out the issue and they never could. They replaced the strut three times, including the crossbar and after two days the sound would return. I loved the car but had to get a lemon lawyer and return the car. Aside from the creaking noise, the car was excellent and I enjoyed it. I wanted to replace it with another Sonata, but went with the TOYOTA crown instead. Not as feature rich on the XLE as on the Sonata Limited, but a really nice car as well. If I did not have that issue, I would still be driving it and would recommend the car as I like it more than the Toyota Camry. The gas mileage was great as well.

Lacking some technology

We bought the top level trim package and was very dissapointed it didnt come with camera rear view mirror and memory side mirrors. My wife and I drive the car and like to be able to hit the button for our mirror and seat settings, however, the mirrors dont have memory. Also, the door locks are very frustrating. Why doesn't it have proximity locking where you walk away from the car and it automatically locks. Also, when you go to unlock the car it doesn't even unlock...I feel like its broken but the dealership says thats the way it is. Other than that the car is great but I would honestly trade some features like interior accent lighting to get the features I mentioned above.

Long car with loud battery noise

The car is too long. It barely fits in my standard garage. This really surprised me. The battery noise (HIGH pitch hum) is VERY LOUD and extremely annoying (like fingernails on a chalkboard). The noise is a safety device for pedestrians outside the vehicle. Inside the vehicle should be quiet. The opening screen should just say welcome, without all that stuff about safe driving, like we don't know we should drive safe?? I feel like it is NAGGING ME. I would like the car to say "Hello" out loud (audio) with my first name, when I get in and start the car (like phones and computers) Finally, controls are confusing and the manual doesn't help much. It appears to me there is one manual for many different models. I would like a manual for MY CAR.
