TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2014 Hyundai Sonata

| Year | Comment | |
| 2015 | According to the spec sheets, the Ford Fusion has nearly as much combined legroom as the new Sonata, which has an inch more than the old Sonata. But Ford cheats the specs. In reality, the Hyundai's rear seat has a few more inches of rear legroom than the Ford's, and about as much as you'll find in any competitor. Rear headroom is in shorter supply, but (again as in most competitors) should be sufficient for people up to six feet in height. The rear seat cushion is a little too low and level to provide optimal thigh support, but the space to stretch out largely compensates for this. You can get rear air vents to help cool this roomy rear seat, but only on the Limited and Sport 2.0T. see full Hyundai Sonata review | |

The front driver seat is supportive yet firm and the power adjustments guarantee you'll get the right driving position for you. The heated seat feature is great on a cold morning too. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

Ride is comfortable but after about 2 or 3 hours, the leather seats get a bit hard on the butt. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

| 2013 | I was scheduled to test a 2013 Hyundai Sonata SE 2.0T, with a 274-horsepower turbocharged engine. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that for the first two days I drove this red Sonata I didn't realize that it wasn't the turbo. Granted, it didn't feel as effortlessly powerful as the related Kia Optima SXL I reviewed recently. But it was still plenty quick for my regular suburban driving, suggesting that few people often would take advantage of the turbo's additional thrust. Credit a still segment-leading 200-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (to get more power in a midsize sedan you need either two more cylinders or a turbo) and a six-speed automatic transmission so responsive that the provided paddles saw little use. Owing to the trickery of its CVT, the Nissan Altima is about as quick (but feels and sounds much less pleasant when skedaddling). Plant your foot and the Mazda6 will also get to sixty in a bit under eight seconds, and make the most thrilling noises in the process. But in typical driving the Mazda feels less energetic due to a combination of a more relaxed throttle calibration and a transmission that upshifts more readily. see full Hyundai Sonata review | |

| The 2011 Hyundai Sonata burst onto the midsize sedan scene with segment-leading power ratings. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine was good for 198 horsepower (200 in SE trim). The turbocharged 2.0-liter for 274. A funny thing has happened with the 2015 redesign: the peak power outputs of these engines have dropped to 185 and 245, respectively. Hyundai claims that these changes were made to boost power at low engine speeds--the revised turbo engine is a significant twenty percent stronger than before at 1,500 rpm. This should improve initial responsiveness in typical daily driving. But full-throttle acceleration doesn't feel as strong as before, even if the Sonata Sport 2.0T remains at least as quick as the Fusion 2.0T. It doesn't help the fun factor that engine revisions plus improved sound insulation much better block out desirable as well as undesirable engine sounds. The minority of midsize sedan buyers seeking pedal-to-the-floor thrills will want a V6-powered competitor. The 2.4-liter four delivers performance worthy of a quality appliance. Drivers who care little for rocketing away from traffic lights will find it thoroughly acceptable. The ECO's powertrain, a 177-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four hitched to a seven-speed automated dual clutch manual (instead of the conventional six-speed automatic in the other variants), is much more likely to provoke complaints. In a brief drive around downtown Asheville this powertrain often hesitated, especially when in Eco mode. Acceleration was neither smooth nor linear. When creeping along at slow speeds (such as in heavy traffic or in a parking lot) the dual-clutch transmission shuddered slightly (a common complaint with the similar unit used in small Fords). Hyundai won't offer the ECO until the fall. Further development could take care of these issues. see full Hyundai Sonata review | ||

This car has some serious kick for a 4 cyl. engine. I never have issues merging on the highway or passing other vehicles. It really is fun to drive in that aspect. Definitely faster than my old 01' Accord. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

A bit underpowered but comparison is against a Maxima 3.5L. Still is fairly peppy and can be aggressive when needed. see full Hyundai Sonata review |

The stock Hankooks that came with my car at 16,400 miles were well on their way to being bald and were terrible in the snow. To me, this is unacceptable at such low mileage. I had to buy two sets of tires for my fairly new car just to be able to get around during the winter. Not a good start to my Hyundai ownership experience. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
