Side by side: 2023 Sonata has fewer recorded recall campaigns (2 vs 6), and 2023 X1 has fewer recorded owner complaints (70 vs 83). Both carry NHTSA crash ratings, and both have EPA fuel-economy data.

How to read this

  • A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
  • Complaint totals are not normalised by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
  • Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
