TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2017 Hyundai Sonata

2017 Hyundai Sonata Powertrain: Pros
YearComment
2016 The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid isn't the quickest midsize sedan hybrid. That honor goes to the Toyota Camry followed closely by the Honda Accord, both of which have much stronger electric motors than the Hyundai (141 and 166 horsepower, respectively, vs. 51). Compared to those cars, the Sonata Hybrid takes another half-second or so to get from a dead stop to 60 mph--figure eight seconds rather than 7.5. The hybrid's time is similar to that for the non-hybrid Sonata, since the electric motor compensates for a smaller, less powerful gasoline engine. The previous Sonata Hybrid had a 159-horsepower 2.4-liter engine. The new one has a 154-horsepower 2.0-liter, while the current non-hybrid has a 185-horsepower 2.4-liter. This is comparing full-throttle accleration. In typical around-town driving the hybrid feels stronger than the non-hybrid. The electric motor makes an especially noticeable difference at low rpm, so there's less need to rev the engine for a given amount of power, and acceleration feels smoother and more effortless. If you expect a hybrid to feel slow, you're in for a surprise--with any of the midsize sedans. Returning the comparison to competing hybrids, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid's powertrain distinguishes itself more qualitatively than quantitatively. It might not be the quickest, but it is the most pleasant to drive. Unlike in the Toyota, Honda, and Ford, the transmission remains a conventional six-speed automatic, just with electric motor taking the place of a torque converter between the engine and transmission. As a result, while accelerating the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid feels much like a regular Sonata, just with more low-end torque. There's none of the weird slipping disconnect between the speed of the engine and that of the car that mars the driving experience in CVT-based hybrids. The gas engine can shut off and disconnect at speeds up to 75 mph, but unlike in the Toyota, Honda, and Ford tends to automatically restart when even a slight amount of acceleration is requested. The related Hyundai Sonata Plug-in Hybrid, designed to operate on electricity alone for the first 27 miles or so, has a somewhat stronger, 67-horsepower electric motor. It's possible to select among normal, sport, and eco modes. In sport mode, the throttle responds too eagerly for my taste. To me, the car felt better in normal and even in eco mode. see full Hyundai Sonata review
