In two of the most competitive segments in the entire industry, the Sonata was a favorite in the midsize car category and the Santa Fe in the compact crossover/SUV. BestRide.com’s four reviewers tested many cars and trucks on both U.S. coasts and these two Hyundai models were among a select group of standouts. The Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe Sport named Bestrides of 2016 by BestRide.com “Plenty of cargo room, a comfortable interior, and an intuitive infotainment system put the Hyundai Sonata at the top of the list for midsized sedans,” said Nicole Wakelin, contributor, BestRide.com. “It’s a great value, with even the base model including a touchscreen for the infotainment system.” Sonata offers a strong lineup in 2017 with three efficient powertrain options, great technology, and newly available dynamic bending light. The 2017 Sonata packaging updates maximize value, safety, and comfort at every price point across the lineup. The Sonata is available with many comfort and convenience features like our hands­free smart trunk, 8­inch navigation display, Apple CarPlay® Android Auto™, electronic parking brake, and Blue Link telematics system. “The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Ultimate with AWD is a screaming bargain at $41,000. It is also the perfect size,” said John Goreham, contributor, BestRide.com. “With plenty of knee room for the driver and a large second row, the Santa Fe Sport is nearly as large as the three­row crossovers on the market, but without the back row. The 2.0L­Turbo engine is a gem and the Santa Fe is fun to drive.” The award­winning Hyundai Santa Fe lineup is dramatically improved for the 2017 model year. The 2017 Santa Fe line­up continues to offer front­ or all­wheel drive and seating options for five, six or seven passengers. The 2017 Santa Fe Sport is powered by an efficient 2.4­liter four­cylinder direct­injected engine with 185 horsepower or the more powerful, turbocharged 2.0­ liter four­cylinder engine with 240 horsepower. 2017 Santa Fe (three­row) uses the acclaimed 3.3­liter Lambda II V6 engine, with 290 horsepower. Next­generation Hyundai Blue Link® (standard on Santa Fe and optional on Santa Fe Sport) provides a full suite of connected safety and diagnostic features, as well as features that are only possible with an embedded connected car system. “The 2017 Hyundai Sonata and 2017 Santa Fe Sport are affordable, fun to drive and equipped with advanced safety technologies and infotainment systems,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior group manager, product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Having two Hyundai vehicles named as favorites by BestRide.com shows that we are committed to providing better for our customers across our diverse lineup.” BestRide.com BestRide.com has over 4 million new and used car listings from automotive dealers nationwide.

  • Important Safety Recall
    NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V-226 IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear Hyundai Sonata owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Hyundai has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain Model Year 2013 through 2014 Sonata vehicles produced beginning on March 21, 2012 through May 29, 2014. Our records indicate that you own or lease the vehicle identified by the VIN on this notice. What is the problem? An investigation by Hyundai has determined that metal debris may have been generated from factory machining operations as part of the manufacturing of the engine. This debris may restrict oil flow to the bearings and increasing the potential of premature bearing wear. A worn connecting rod bearing will produce a metallic, cyclic knocking noise from the engine which increases in frequency as the engine RPM increases. If the vehicle continues to be driven with a worn connecting rod bearing, the bearing can fail, and the vehicle could stall while in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. What will Hyundai do? Your Hyundai dealer will inspect your vehicle for indications of a worn connecting rod bearing and if necessary, repair your vehicle. This procedure will be performed at NO CHARGE to you. The actual time required to perform the inspection procedure will take approximately 1 hour, however your vehicle may be needed longer; therefore, we recommend scheduling a service appointment to minimize inconvenience. A minimum of one day will be required if it is necessary to perform a repair procedure on your vehicle.

  • The Petition
    June 11, 2018 Administrator c/o Deputy Administrator Heidi King National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building Washington, D.C. 20590 PETITION FOR DEFECT INVESTIGATION Deputy Administrator King: In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30162 and 49 C.F.R § 552.1, the Center for Auto Safety (Center), on behalf of its members who own and share the road with 2011-2014 Kia Optima, Sorento, and Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe vehicles, hereby petitions the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a safety defect investigation into the excessive number of non-collision related fires that the owners and operators of these vehicles suffer as compared to similar class and model year vehicles from other manufacturers. If the investigation concludes that these vehicles contain a “defect that relates to motor vehicle safety,” because of the deadly potential of car fires, such a defect would be an unreasonable risk to the public and NHTSA should issue a recall order pursuant to 49 U.S.C. §§ 30118(b), 30119, and 30120 for all 2011-2014 Kia Optima, Sorento, and Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe vehicles. Complaints submitted to NHTSA via Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ), and to other sources, reveal a frighteningly large number of these vehicles manufactured at the same time catching on fire. In NHTSA’s VOQ database alone, at least 120 owners have reported that their 2011-2014 Optima, Sorento, Sonata, or Santa Fe caught fire without a preceding collision.1 There are also 229 separate complaints regarding melted wires in the engine bay, smoke, and burning odors, indicating potential fires.2 The vast majority of complaints which discuss the origins of the vehicle fires state that smoke and/or flames are first seen emanating from the engine bay, then the car is quickly engulfed.
