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.

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

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

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

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.🔥

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.

Looks great! Thanks Joe and Lori!

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!

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 👍🏾

Amazing review Joe.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

❤ 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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 💯

Love your video 📹 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💗

Looks very futuristic. I like it!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Love my catfish sonata but this one looks great

Nice video nice car Joe

So far so good.

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

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

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

Best looking sedan out there. Much better than accord

“On throttle” 🗣️🔊🔊🔊

To the door panels!!

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

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

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.

nice hyundai sonata

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

Sonata hybrid looks like a wow than N line

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.

What is the difference between hybrid and electric please explain

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

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

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

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

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

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

i bought mine last wk

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.

That’s A nice Car

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.

Lori is the bomb 💣

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

That color is sexi

hyundai sonata hybrid all the way

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.

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

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.

When will you be reviewing more classic muscle cars?

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

17:51 What? "Brake-shifters"??!!

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

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.

Not bad at all for the price ❤

Nice car

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

At first I thought this was another Toyota Camry. 😄

Only if they were reliable. The sonata looks really good

Hyundai needs a logo redesign like the new KIA logo

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.

Obviously this was filmed before GM announced the end of the Malibu...

I like this front end much better than the previous. This Robocop look ties in with the new Kona Robocop front end.

I would avoid any Hyundai knowing that there are engine issues that doom its lifespan. Please be honest in your reviews.

its kinda beautiful 🤩 fun fact: Malibu is returning for the '25 year, with minor changes. source: GMAuthority

Can you do a Miata 5 V-8🤓

Joe I guess Grandeur Vs Accord & Sonata vs Civic

Man if only Hyundai and Kia had Toyota reliability they would literally be on Top

The front looks cool - almost too aggressive for what it is - it could literally be a lambo. I think it's the wheels that are letting it down - we know they can do it, the first gen Optima (or at least the first gen that mattered, 5-10 years ago) had awesome wheels.

Plus: Chevy is canceling the Malibu

If the Nissan Maxima was still produced please..Hyundai better hope and pray the Nissan Altima and Nissan Maxima isn't radically Redesigned.

Big Zonk on this But-Plugged in hybrid.

My Nurse self, can’t stop looking at Joe’s busted middle finger. Looks like it hurt

Rather get a TLX
