If you’re looking for an elegant city car loaded with innovative features and a silky-smooth transition for a superior driving experience, the Sonata might be a good fit for you.

The Hyundai Sonata is a mid-size four door sedan manufactured and marketed by Hyundai since 1985. It’s gone through eight generations, the latest of which debuted in 2019. Current models showcase Hyundai’s commitment to stylish design, advanced technology and fuel efficiency. With options ranging from traditional gasoline engines to hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, there’s a Sonata model to suit a wide range of preferences and eco-conscious drivers.

Hyundai Sonata Trim Levels

SE

The base trim, the Sonata SE, offers a well-rounded set of standard features. It includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

SEL

Building on the SE, the Sonata SEL adds some desirable features like heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and keyless entry with push-button start.

Sport

The Sonata Sport trim enhances the vehicle’s aesthetics with sportier exterior styling elements. It also comes with features like a sport-tuned suspension, dual-zone automatic climate control and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Limited

The Sonata Limited is the top-tier non-hybrid trim, offering a host of premium features. It includes leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof and an upgraded 12-speaker Bose audio system.

N Line

For those seeking a more spirited driving experience, the Sonata N Line is a performance-oriented trim. It features a turbocharged engine, sport-tuned suspension, unique N Line styling cues and paddle shifters. It’s designed for those who want a blend of style and performance in their midsize sedan.

Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid

In addition to the gasoline-powered trims, the latest Sonata generation also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. These models prioritize fuel efficiency and come with a range of eco-friendly features, including an electric-only driving mode for the plug-in hybrid.

Limited Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid

These top-tier hybrid trims add upscale features like leather seating, a premium sound system and advanced safety features, making them a great choice for environmentally conscious drivers who desire luxury.

What Differentiates the Sonata from Other Comparable Vehicles?

What makes the Sonata an extraordinary deal for the price and stiff competition to vehicles of the same class, like the Toyota Camry or Honda Accord, are advanced technology and comprehensive safety features.

The Sonata stands out by offering luxury features like 17-inch alloy wheels (SEL trim), a smart key system, and buttons to press to shift gears instead of having a traditional gear selector shifter.

Additionally, Hyundai’s Blue Link system allows you to locate your vehicle without clicking the panic button. If you forget where your Sonata is parked, you can use the system’s car finder feature on your smartphone. By looking at a map, you can determine where you are and where your car is so you can find it faster and easier.

As for safety features, the Sonata is also considerably more generous than its competitors. For what you pay, expect stellar safety in the form of front and rear parking sensors, a bird’s eye view camera (Unlimited trim) for easier and safer parking and a blind spot view monitor on the dashboard.
