Looking into hybrid sedans in 2025, Hyundai is a great place to start. Not only do you have super-efficient options like the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, but with this five-seater, you also have multiple trim options, available specs to get excited about, and pricing that won't break the bank. Of course, the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid has always been a favorite for drivers, but in its latest design, you will notice it feels elevated and luxurious like never before. We want to share all of these details with you below, so please stick around!

What's New for 2025?

Because the 2024 Hyundai Sonata saw so many changes in its non-hybrid and hybrid offering, you can treat this year, 2025, like a carryover model year. However, the 2025 Hyundai Sonata as a whole has some additional trims and shifts in offerings for non-hybrids, so that is something to note. The Sonata Hybrid comes in two trims for this year: SEL Hybrid and Limited Hybrid.

2024 recap: For those wondering what changed for the 2024 edition of Sonata and Sonata Hybrid, this included everything from a new exterior design featuring a "Seamless Horizon Lamp" front light bar, new taillights, and a redesigned interior with a curved display.

2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Exterior

Looking outside the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, you will notice a far fancier body and grille style than pre-2024 releases. As we shared, the 2025 release follows last year's overhaul, so everything you had improved in the previous year will remain unchanged this year. Notably, the standard exterior specifications you can count on in 2025 include:

  • 17-inch Eco-spoke design alloy wheels
  • LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
  • LED rear combi (taillight LED only)
  • Standard (heated) power side mirrors

Fuel Economy and MPG

Your fuel economy and MPG estimates for this year's Hyundai Sonata Hybrid are class-leading, with the EPA rating this as having up to 44 city/51 highway miles per gallon. Here is a breakdown of this by trim:

  • SEL Hybrid MPG: 44/51/47 FWD
  • Limited Hybrid MPG: 44/51/47 FWD

The total driving range with a full tank of gas for this year's Sonata Hybrid totals 620 miles, making this an incredibly efficient sedan. The EPA also estimates drivers inside the Sonata Hybrid will save $3,250 in gas over a five-year period, a perk for you for going green.

Note: It is worth mentioning that the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid only offers front-wheel drive (FWD), so AWD is not a choice here. If you want HTRAC AWD, you would need to switch to a fully-gas trim.

Engine, Powertrain, and Performance

The engine, powertrain, and performance details of the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid are the same as 2024, with your engine in both hybrid trims being a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine working alongside a single electric motor.
