This kinda makes sense because you're going down in the playlist... But other cars use left and right 🤷

Hyundais other cars use up. Even their other brands like Kia use up. It makes no sense.

Up makes less sense to me. If I'm going to the next item, why would I be going up? Next should be either down or right, consistent with how we read in English (to the right, then down) and consistent with playlists in media player apps (and YouTube, etc)

I guess using up for next is so it's consistent with volume, where up actually makes sense?

Media players have always used left for previous track and right for next track, so it's frustrating when UI designs try to change that.

Yeah, the reasoning becomes apparent when you're in the SiriusXM channel list. Higher numbered channels are down the list.

This bugs me a bit too, but only that much.

I think what bugs me more is that the audio controls are on the right of the steering wheel. My older Kia, and my Mazda, have them on the left which makes more sense to me since you have audio control available with both hands (one on steering wheel and one on dash) instead of both on the right. But, again small potatoes.
