Featured Review: 2016 Hyundai Sonata plug-in hybrid makes electric wheels seem familiar

I test drove one yesterday and was very impressed. It would have came home with me if I didn't have 7 more months on my Camry lease.

 

how was the trunk space?

 

The trunk was small but not a lot smaller than my hycam.

 

that's pretty good, with all that battery. gen 1 or 2 hycam? we got a substantial improvement in the 2.

 

My Camry is a 2015. The Sonata does have the battery where the spare tire is on the Camry.

 

Try the folding down the rear seats?

What I recall of photos, had that seeming functional. However, last time I checked the specs page at Hyundai's website, it appeared that they were only available on the higher trim.

 

There was no trunk pass through on the car I drove. They had a small one on the regular hybrid.

 

forgot about that. i hope hycam doesn't go that route, although, i don't think there are any plans for a phev.

 

I would probably get another Camry if they sold a phev version. Camry prime has a nice ring to it.

 

Camry Prime. Wouldn't that be a, "Crime"?

.

 

It's a crime they aren't building them.
One thing I liked in the Hyundai is the ice would turn off if you push the ev button a couple seconds after I set it to hv mode. Try that in a Toyota and it will just beep at you and keep running until it's done the full warm up.

 

i would too, but couldn't afford to lose any trunk space. we're stuffed to the gills when we head for florida.
10 miles of ev would cover 75% of my wife's driving.

 

that would be fabulous. and a full pass through would be a nice addition.
