Sona 2 Cruise Review

Overview

The Lelo Sona 2 Cruise represents the second generation of Lelo's sonic clitoral massager, and it addresses nearly every concern raised about the original. The headline feature—Cruise Control technology—solves a problem you might not even know you had: maintaining intensity when you need it most.

Unlike traditional vibrators that can lose power when pressed firmly against the body, the Sona 2 Cruise actually reserves power and increases intensity when pressure is applied. It's a thoughtful engineering solution that demonstrates Lelo's commitment to understanding how people actually use their products.

What We Loved

The Cruise Control technology is genuinely impressive. During testing, we noticed a clear difference compared to other sonic toys—when approaching climax and naturally pressing harder, the Sona 2 Cruise maintained its rhythm rather than fading out. This alone justifies the upgrade from the original Sona.

The build quality is exceptional. The soft silicone feels premium and body-safe, while the controls are intuitive enough to use without looking. The 12 intensity settings provide plenty of range, from a gentle purr to a powerful pulse.

Room for Improvement

At this price point, we expected the travel lock feature to be easier to engage. It requires holding multiple buttons simultaneously, which can be frustrating when you're in a hurry. The charging cable is also proprietary—we'd love to see Lelo adopt USB-C across their lineup.
