Er...Ive had mine for less than a week, an SEL 2019, and drove to Miami from Orlando. Going south, it averaged about 48 mpg on the highway. It was then driven around the city for maybe 50 miles, city driving. On the way back to Orlando, it averaged 57.8mpg! Combined mileage now displayed is 61.4mpg! This is insane, however I believe driving habits may also come into play, as I hardly accelerate fast from a stop. This is a great car.
This hybrid system is needlessly complex. You have the typical hybrid two motor-generator arrangement, but you still retain all the complexity and potential problems of a stepped automatic transmission *and* an added clutch pack that must open and close constantly to disconnect the engine from the wheels when the car wants to move only via the electric motor. Toyota’s hybrid system, with its “power split device,” has cleverly replaced the transmission and clutch in Hyundai’s system altogether with a single planetary gear-set. Through clever use of the smaller motor-generator (attached to the “sun gear”) to add resistance or assistance to the rotation of the “planet carrier” which is attached to the gas engine in the gear-set either while in motion or at a stop, this single planetary gear-set is able to perform all the functions of a infinitely-variable ratio transmission for the gas engine, which can both drive the car directly and/or recharge the hybrid battery and even completely stop without needing to be disconnected from the wheels via a clutch.
I agree so much, the engine clutch pack failed twice on my 2011 Kia Optima (which is exactly the same as the 2011 Sonata Hybrid). Overall it's obvious they minimized development costs as much as they could by re-using the same A6MF2 transmission as the non hybrid and replaced the torque converter with the 30 kW electric motor and engine clutch and called it the A6MF2H.
@@sabahjason1 You can't necessarily drive it "EV Only" since it's RPM based. As you accelerate, it will turn off the EV mode and engage the engine. Once you get up to speed you can hover the RPM low enough and keep it in EV Mode, but the battery is only there to assist in less gas mileage rather than driving EV only. Maybe newer models are different, I have a 2013 model
Love my sonata hybrid. What the video won't say is you can abuse cruise control on trips and get over 40mpg. My drive out of the mountains of Vermont down to Manhattan I logged 47mpg for the trip
I don't think you can really "abuse cruise control". Maybe you just used cruise control to set a modest speed and got good fuel economy as a result. I recently completed a round trip from Boston to Toronto in my Prius. I set my speed to 71 mph and ran the air conditioning. I got 52 mpg measured at the tank (the display is about 4% optimistic). 47 mpg is great for a Sonata; it's a much, much better looking car than the Prius.
Yea buddy, i just did the belts on one of these. Please explain: if you only have 2 belt driven components, the alternator and water pump, than why God why did you give each component a belt. Not only that, but ya put 2 tensioners on the alternator belt. Not pullys, mind you, 2 tensioners. Water pump belt doesn't even have a pully or a tensioner, but the alternator has 2 tensioners? Why 2?? It's literally designed so you need three arms to put a belt on. Two to pull back each tensioner, and one for the belt. Hyundai looked at this and said 'Yup, there's absolutely 0 better ways to do this."
I just got a used 2012 hybrid, I’ve got 51 mpg out if and have pics to prove it. Although I dive 60-70 mph on cruise. But I commute 155 total a day 5 days a week so I’ll see in a month if it was really worth it.
Hi I have an issue with my 2011 kia optima hybrid, when the engine is cold everything is perfectly working. As soon as the engine gets hot, thats the start of having the issue. Especially when the weather get hot. When the engine is hot, basically from driving it, and slowing down or coming from a complete stop, when i try to accelerate, the electric motor does not respond and it waits til the engine takes over in order for you to be able to drive or move the car (about 3 seconds delay from a complete stop). So when the engine gets rest a bit, then its all goes back to normal (well not quite, electric motor responds but not too long til it switches to gas motor). Basically its all about when it gets hot (weather and the engine). Do you think its something like a sensor?
Sounds like the clutch is not working properly (perhaps not disengaging?!). Have you tried changing the fluid to the clutch? Is their any fluid leaking from the electric motor housing? I know the older hyundai hybrids put the clutch reservoir down low by the radiator and get dirty quick, recommended to change the fluid every other oil change but if it's already leaking it's too late and the engine/transmission will have to be removed 😮
Not as elaborate as Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive: I don't like how the starter is simply a beefed-up version found on a conventional car vs. the MG1 on the HSD. The addition of a regular auto transmission also introduces more complexity to the system; something Toyota smartly avoided by the MG1/MG2/Engine planetary gearset forming the eCVT without actually resorting to an external physical unit. Sure the benefit means the Sonata hybrid can run EV mode at highway speeds by decoupling the engine altogether, but EVs aren't known to be efficient at high speed either. What's the point if you're going to have to run the engine after you deplete the battery? I'm not convinced Hyundai/Kia developed a better system than Toyota/Lexus here.
I agree,, i love toyotas planetary gear electronic cvt transaxle,, such a simple and ingenious device,, love the way the emotor and the gas engine compliment each other in parallel to drive the wheels. I hear they make great taxicabs,, very reliable systwm
+Trades46 I have a 2015 Sonata Hybrid I get 39 city and depending on highway conditions close to 55mpg using cruise @ 60mph about 56 @ 70 when the battery is full charge even at 70mph it would switch off the engine and run strictly on EV till the battery falls half charge to I was driving on a long distance highway @ 55 up & down hills that would recharge from the breaks maintaining high charge and was getting 70mpg but again using cruise control....
Toyota's power-split transmission and Hyundai's P2-style both have advantages and disadvantages. The power-split system needs no belt drive for the starter-generator and has slightly better efficiency at lower speeds. Hyundai's P2 system is slightly more efficient at higher speeds. The primary advantage of the P2 is that it doesn't need two big, expensive electric motors to counteract the torque of the ICE as does the power-split. The P2 is a much less expensive system that achieves the same goal. Since cost is the main impediment to consumer acceptance of hybrids--advantage P2. Hyundai went with a conventional auto for the hybrid Sonata because many people object to the rubber-banding effect of a CVT or eCVT. I've driven the hybrid Sonata and the ICE shuts down at freeway speeds often, saving gas--even on slight downhill slopes like an overpass.
I completely agree with Trades46, the Toyota hybrid system is far superior and far more reliable since you actually don't have a transmission. Another thing to note is that the Hyundai is actually cheating its customers by using lithium polymer batteries, this type of battery may cost a lot less money and does the same thing with half the size... you may want to inquire as to why Toyota or any other good company wouldn't use lithium Polymer? because they are the among the least durable and least reliable batteries akin to Ni-Cad Batteries. If it isn't Ni-MH or Li-ion, dont buy it!!
The philosophy of Hyundai is to make everything that toyota makes cutting a few corners and saying that its the same but better price. But at the end the reliability is bad. That's why they lose their resale value
Anyone know the rating of the starter /generator? I assume that it is recharging the traction battery whenever the ICE is running. Will it also assist the traction motor at times of high acceleration?
My 1998 Buick Park Avenue got 38 mpg at 70mph on freeway drives. The secret? It had aluminum calipers, engine cradle, heads, engine block, and a light unibody construction to make it light. The other secret was the transmission had tall enough gears matched to a 3.8L V6 that could grunt- and the trans. could coast well. When you let off the accelerator- the car just kept on moving smoothly without the power train dragging. My 2014 Ram Cummins has NO ability to coast. It drags like a bum leg and gets no better than 14 mpg with a tail wind down a hill. The Ram power train can't let go and coast. Diesel is energy dense and the RPM's are plenty low enough, but the Ram can't coast. My 2001 got 21mpg in the same test conditions. The tailpipe is a labrinth- maybe it needs the RPM's to keep clean, but it rolls off acceleration like it's got flat tires.
Old cars are literally tin cans of course they roll these new cars are like flexible bricks heavy but strong in safety and all new safety parts weigh new cars down
Yeah, but city mpgs I'm sure were half that. Most Americans live in the city or major metropolitan areas with stop and go traffic situations which greatly lessens gas mileage in traditional ICE cars leaving you with a much inferior combined consumption compared to a hybrid. Ask me how I know? I've owned everything from turbo cars, to V8s, V6s, regular four cylinder economy cars, V12...even driven a diesel. Currently have two hybrids. They're superior in every way.
The HSD is a outstanding tech. the IMA is simply but is more convenient. Honda with IMA still work if the hybrid battery dead. While Toyota not work if the battery dead. I like to know how is the behavior of the Sonata Hybrid if the battery is dying or dead?
I don't know where you heard that Toyotas don't work if the battery is dead, but it's not true. In fact, once the battery has been depleted, it is essentially a small gas engine with a CVT, and still gets pretty good mileage (for no longer being a hybrid). It is true that the computer won't run the car if it senses no battery present. But it doesn't mind a dead battery.
nice, but what if the engine have a problem and i want it started to work on it. for example lets say there is a bad sparkplug. should it be a whole process to get it running?
etikem Nope. Most repairs and maintenance are the same. Except the breaks last 150k miles on the toyota hybrid, perhaps others too, sine the motor generator slows the car unless you’re really on it hard.
You still have your 2011? I just got mine not long ago. Its definitely interesting to drive its my first hybrid. Does always use ev mode when driving in city ?
Bad spark plug, the engine side vehicle body vibrates so much that bumper starts losing from body. Replace all spark plugs. It happened with me Camry 2.4 GL in 2009.
The Hyundai appears to use the same design as Honda's IMA but with an added clutch to disengage the engine from the motor. Honda's three-cylinder hybrid engine won the "engine of the year" award seven times in a row (2000-2006). Prius never did. Probably because the hybrid system was not designed by Toyota but a third-party company Aisin .
Hyundai's Sonata is not as superior to the toyota hybrid drive. Toyota does not have clutch packs, the transmission has 2/3s less moving parts, and the main clutch of the toyota is allows engaged. The toyota's clutch is only used for engine torque damping.
Award? Who cares about an award. Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive has no clutch packs and is all gears and bearing. Toyota's HSD will out last Hyundai's hybrid system any day. Toyota has no wearing parts and should go 500,000 miles.
The Sonata Hybrid shouldn't be underrated though. We all know Toyota is supreme but there are others including Hyundai that are kicking it. I have a 2013 Sonata Hybrid and it performs!
100% agree.....from a robustness standpoint does not make sense.....from a theory engineering standpoint, it makes sense to just use one motor in place of 2 and put a transmission...o would choose reliability but it is good to see how this tech behaves
You chose the better choice! My friend has a 2012 Hyundai Sonata hybrid and wants to sell it for $500 but it has an EV problem and other things. It only has 161,000 miles, but the dealership quoted him $8900 just to repair the car. Which is bullshit. I got a Toyota as well 👍🏼
Uh, not on this. Oversized starter. Not integrated into the system, but running off a rubber belt, LOL. Get the toyota hybrid, the only one reasonable people aren’t afraid of.
@@sabahjason1 it drives in a combination of EV and Engine. On highway you can maintain EV mode for a few mins but eventually the engine kicks in. It also depends on AC and Heat in the car and the engine will be on more often.

@@aspecreviews The one in the Hyundai is much more complex and much less reliable, is horrible the way it's designed, belts and alternator, horrible to my eyes once i saw how simple and robust the planetary gear set is on Toyota Hybrids.
I have a 2013 sonata hybrid. I'm lucky to get even 36mpg. On extremely rare occasions I will get 44mpg, but never greater than that. I like this car but the hybrid aspect for me is worthless. I have to drive 60 or 65 and no more on the interstate to get anywhere close to 40 or more mpg. And at just over 100k miles i fear it is already needing some unexpected repairs due to some strange symptoms I've been experiencing as of late. I wish I could have an all electric car, but there is no way for me to charge such a car. I should have chosen a Toyota hybrid instead I guess! Oh well
hybrid is now implemented by more car makers, not only hyundai. even Volkswagen has hybrid in their Toureg. Hyundai not really trying to copy toyota since other makers are having hybrid in their cars too. all hybrids have the same motive n principle, an electric motor to support combustion engine or run alone on start/slow drive to minimise petrol use. the only difference is, which car makers can build a better hybrid.

I own Both cars sonata hybrid and Toyota hilux i had just a little water enter due to a little flood i think my battery cells are Bad now and car wont start well my Hilux is alive sonata is dead HELP !!
Call your insurance
Music is terrible
Sooooo it’s basically a Hyundai Prius
No. The hybrid system is completely different.
@@aspecreviews The one in the Hyundai is much more complex and much less reliable, is horrible the way it's designed, belts and alternator, horrible to my eyes once i saw how simple and robust the planetary gear set is on Toyota Hybrids.
Only 40? Lol my 2015 Nissan altima got 42.
My primus prime gets 85mpg.
This hybrid is a joke.
Turkey gelse...
I have a 2013 sonata hybrid. I'm lucky to get even 36mpg. On extremely rare occasions I will get 44mpg, but never greater than that. I like this car but the hybrid aspect for me is worthless. I have to drive 60 or 65 and no more on the interstate to get anywhere close to 40 or more mpg. And at just over 100k miles i fear it is already needing some unexpected repairs due to some strange symptoms I've been experiencing as of late. I wish I could have an all electric car, but there is no way for me to charge such a car. I should have chosen a Toyota hybrid instead I guess! Oh well
My 2013 average mpg is over 45 with careful driving. You must be a lead foot. Also you get better mileage with quality gas like Chevron.
This is my video. I made it. Delete.
Toyota Hybrid? Haha don't make me laugh! Toyota just recalled 806,000 more toyotas due to faulty airbags.
now guys, would you choose to drive a hybrid hauling huge batteries and electric motor as an extra weight or driving a V6 hauling big ass boobies?
My v6 loves boobies and alot of gas

Hyndai trying to copy toyota tecnology....jajajajaj
hybrid is now implemented by more car makers, not only hyundai. even Volkswagen has hybrid in their Toureg. Hyundai not really trying to copy toyota since other makers are having hybrid in their cars too. all hybrids have the same motive n principle, an electric motor to support combustion engine or run alone on start/slow drive to minimise petrol use. the only difference is, which car makers can build a better hybrid.
hyundai hybrid is more similar to Honda IMA by the way. Not Toyota
akupehsluarketatAR The HSD is a outstanding tech. the IMA is simply but is more convenient. Honda with IMA still work if the hybrid battery dead. While Toyota not work if the battery dead.
jovenlibre in fact, if battery dead, you don’t have a hybrid at all. Shops stung up all over to service toyota, other wannabes? Not so much
Only made it better...
