New Hyundai Sonata Sedans in City of Industry, CA

There are two engine options for the Sonata. The base engine is naturally aspirated and is rated for 191 horsepower. You can also opt for an upgraded model with a turbocharger and is rated for 180 horsepower. Despite the lower horsepower rating, the upgrade delivers more power and acceleration thanks to its turbocharger. Both engines are strong, although you will notice the difference in performance if you get the upgrade. The handling is tight and responsive, making the Sonata easy to drive and control. In terms of fuel usage, the Sonata does better than most of its rivals. It is rated at 37 MPG for highways, and city roads get 27 MPG. Those ratings hold for both engines. If you want more fuel savings, then consider the Sonata Hybrid model. It's one of the top-rated hybrid cars on the road, and it is likely the best configuration of the Sonata, especially if you are environmentally conscious.

There are four trims for the Hyundai Sonata. The base SE trim has a lot of tech and driver assistance tools. The second trim, the SEL, adds more comfort and conveniences like power and heated seating and blind-spot monitoring. The SEL Plus trim is the first to have the upgraded engine and wireless charging, plus synthetic leather upholstery with suede elements and a digital instrument panel. The top trim, the Limited, has genuine leather, ventilated seats, a bigger touchscreen, a top-shelf sound system, and plenty of other upgrades throughout. Most buyers are happy with the second trim-- it delivers good value by balancing a long feature list with an attractive price. But the top two are good if you want a better engine and some luxury features.

The Hyundai Sonata is a terrific midsize car that brings in many upsides, from the practicality of its fuel efficiency to the advanced tech. It's hard to find any flaws with it, and yet it's still affordably priced. You won't find a better feature list without paying a luxury price. Check out the Sonata or The Sonata Hybrid to experience some excellent contemporary car design with outstanding value.
