Review: 2020 Hyundai Sonata Offers CarPlay, a Revamped Infotainment System, and Tons of Safety Features

[jace88]

The features/tech sound pretty impressive for an affordable mainstream car. Makes my MY20 Mercedes GLE seem quite historic in comparison!

The only problem is that it's a Hyundai.

I've had three and they're among the best cars I've owned with minimal problems. I got more than my money's worth on two out of three and am currently driving my third which I've had for a flawless 12 months. How may have you owned to make this brilliant comment?

One was enough for me. A poor man's Ford.

Ford sucks. I’ve had two of those as well. Their dual clutch transmission was a nightmare. Fords were probably the worst cars I ever owned. Between the experience I had with them and Dodge I will probably never buy an American brand again.

I’ll look at the N line model when that comes out. More power!

Thank you for such an extensive car review of everyone’s favorite discount Korean car brand, clearly this new vehicle is on par in tech features with my 2018 Odyssey, down to the beautiful USB port below the second row air vent. As a fact this is in no way a paid advertisement on a Apple focused news site. Now, I may not be able to afford a BMW anymore due to family and obscene property taxes in the northeast, but my lawyer friends can — and I SAY, those high end luxury brands ain’t got nothing with their fancy cascading ultra-wide panel digital displays, and all those neighbors with their crusty old Teslas… it’s Sonata time!

My god it's an ICE car! No thanks.

Ford does as they’re awful. All of these models with Carplay is like putting lipstick on a pig.

Why not write a review of a car with the same tech but one that actually carries clout. This car looks dorky AF compared to my whip.

My Tucson was the most problem-free car I've ever owned. So far my IONIQ seems to have some annoying (but not dangerous) bugs in the software, but it's otherwise just as reliable.

While the trolls have your attention, might I ask a favor of you when doing these infotainment reviews? Could you ask the manufacturers why they choose to keep putting wireless charging pads in vehicles but not offering wireless CarPlay or Android Auto?

My guess is MacRumors has the same chance of getting an answer as if you or I opened our bedroom window and shouted that question into our backyard. 🙂
