This is the first use of Apple CarPlay in a Hyundai. The automaker initially expected CarPlay to launch on the 2015 Sonata in late 2014. CarPlay now will come to the Sonata in the first quarter. Hyundai released counterpart Android Auto compatibility on the Sonata in May 2015.

Hyundai, the South Korean auto manufacturer, is scheduled to introduce this wireless functionality across a range of vehicles, including the new-generation Kona, from October 2023 onwards. Guido Shenken, Hyundai Australia's senior PR manager, revealed that the modification will be backward-compatible on some models, although he could not specify which ones beyond the Kona. "The resolution will come as a software update, however, we can't currently confirm the models to which the backward compatibility will apply. More details will be shared in the months ahead," Shenken explained.

Hyundai's announcement to offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone mirroring software is a significant advancement, indicating their commitment to improving customer experience. The resolution of a longstanding dispute over this feature is a promising step. However, the lack of specifics on backward compatibility for existing models and how updates will be provided to vehicles lacking over-the-air functionality leaves room for improvement. Overall, this development is a positive stride for Hyundai in the competitive tech-driven auto industry, though further clarity on certain aspects is needed.

The Eco, the car we're testing here, is definitely the odd man out in the Sonata range. It has the smallest engine by displacement, it's marketed as a gas-saver, it's the only Hyundai on sale with a dual-clutch transmission (all other Sonatas get a 6-speed auto, the Eco has a 7-speed DCT), and it is a mere $750 pricier than a similarly-equipped Sonata Sport. So, you'd expect that it's a bit slower than the other cars, but gets better em pee gees to balance things out, right? Wrong.

But the benefits of this transmission, I think, far outweigh any minor quibbles I have with it. It generally shifts very smoothly and quickly, and makes the car wholly more responsive than its automatic-equipped brethren. If Hyundai came up with a sport package for the Eco to add paddle shifters to the steering wheel and the Sonata Sport's exterior trim bits (and maybe some summer tires), they'd have an even more compelling vehicle for people who enjoy driving. But the Sonata Eco is marketed as being... eco. So, that almost definitely won't happen.

The control console area seems like a solid middle ground between too many and too few buttons to me. Everything is clearly marked, and you've got individual buttons for automatic climate control, front and rear defrosters, re-circulated or exterior air, fan mode, fan speed, dual-zone climate sync, and easily visible LED indicators for things that toggle on and off. The temperature, volume, and tuner knobs are all quite easy to grip and spin with little resistance and solid feedback.

As such, these basic in-vehicle functions are very intuitive once you memorize the layout. If you think of the climate control area as two 4x4 grids between an elongated 2x1, the organization is simple to mentally map. The buttons themselves have very cushy gaskets (or something similar), so there's not much feedback, but I didn't have any trouble with them after a day or so. Driver-side controls at the armrest include a window lock, four window controls (2 auto up-down switches on this model for the fronts), power mirror controls, and a door lock switch.

The Sonata Eco I tested came with a couple driver assists. You get a rear backup camera (soon to be US-mandated) of good quality, blind spot monitoring (which I turned off, because it's crazy aggressive), and backup cross-traffic monitoring. Only the Limited models can opt up for the fancy adaptive cruise control, collision warning, auto high-beams, lane departure warning, and electronic parking brake.

Hyundai's 8" infotainment system is generally well-regarded in the auto industry because it is highly activity-oriented with a dedicated hardware button for each primary function. At least, that's why I think it's highly regarded, because as a piece of software it's extremely average and not especially nice to look at or really even interact with. Hyundai has attacked the infotainment interaction problem in a few ways, but has explicitly avoided giving drivers a universal non-touch input option. Many newer luxury cars use knobs and other hardware controllers as the primary input method for the infotainment system when you're actually driving, and I truly think that's a safer way to do it.

Android Auto on the Sonata does have a leg up on 3rd party systems, in that Hyundai has configured it specifically to play nicely with the steering wheel controls and use the vehicle's built-in GPS as opposed to the connected phone's, allegedly reducing power consumption. I did have one annoyance with Hyundai's implementation, though - if you plug in a phone via USB before the infotainment OS is fully booted in the car, it won't go into USB host mode and you won't get the prompt to start Android Auto. This is not great UX, and it can be frustrating if you're in a hurry and then realize, "oh wait, I have to plug in my phone again because the car didn't recognize it." I'm hoping this can be fixed. There's also no auto-start option for Android Auto, you'll have to explicitly launch it each time you connect your phone to the car (easily done by a button on the homescreen interface, but still).

Suffice it to say, one of the most liberating aspects of Android Auto is voice control. You long-press the steering wheel button for voice, and you get that comforting Google 'bloop' letting you know it's ready to accept a command. You say "navigate to the nearest Home Depot," and it gives you a list of three nearest locations, you tap one, and you're on your way. You can see the store's hours and call the store from the navigation UI, too, because it's Google and of course it should do that, Google is god damn smart. To automakers, this must seem like witchcraft. It really is a reason to forsake your car's existing navigation system - Maps is only a lot better in almost every single way (at least here in the US, I realize that's not true everywhere).

Hyundai said more of its cars would be getting Android Auto later this year. The system was first previewed exactly a year ago at Google I/O 2014, with the app launching in March. Hyundai is the first automaker to integrate Android Auto, which was previously only available on aftermarket radios. ff782bc1db
