Reliability verdict for the 2022 Hyundai Sonata
The 2022 Hyundai Sonata posts a 67/100 reliability score versus a 78/100 segment average, placing it below the class norm. That gap points to mixed reliability and a higher-than-typical chance of owner-reported problems compared with peers. As year three of its current generation, the data still reflects notable issue volume rather than a clear settling trend.
Complaints are not confined to a single system. They cluster most in the powertrain and electrical system, with additional representation from fuel/propulsion and engine categories, suggesting multiple potential touchpoints rather than one dominant weak spot. Recall activity is elevated rather than limited, reinforcing that the model year carries more corrective actions than a low-recall vehicle.
Overall, the data supports a moderate risk level that trends higher than the segment average.
