We have much more to explore, so keep reading!

 

Hyundai Sonata vs. The Competition

When comparing the Hyundai Sonata model to others in its class, you may encounter vehicles like the Subaru Legacy, Toyota Camry, Kia K5, and Nissan Altima. Of course, the Sonata has one of the most aesthetically pleasing exteriors and interiors and offers some of the more impressive interior, exterior, safety, and infotainment features.

For instance, the Sonata is priced slightly higher than the Legacy, although its 191-290 horsepower, up to 25 city / 36 highway MPG, and five-star safety rating make it a compelling choice. The Legacy offers 182 to 260 horsepower, up to 27 city / 35 highway MPG, and is being discontinued after the 2025 model year. The Sonata vs. the Camry is another fierce comparison, with the Camry boasting a 208-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine and up to 53 city / 50 highway MPG, though at a higher starting price than the Sonata. Even then, the Sonata Hybrid achieves 44 city / 51 highway MPG.

The Kia K5 is priced similarly to the Sonata and offers 191 to 290 horsepower (just like the Hyundai), with up to 26 city / 37 highway MPG estimates and a comparable engine. However, it's not as sleek, luxurious, or smooth when compared to the Sonata. Finally, the Altima is comparable to the Sonata, offering up to 27 city / 39 highway MPG, a 2.0 or 2.5-liter engine, and 182 to 248 horsepower.
