1. 2024 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 Front-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $27,500
- MPG Combined: 29
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 191
- Torque: 181 lb-ft
- Weight: 3,305 lbs
- Length: 193.3 in
The base Sonata is yet another strong effort across the board from Hyundai. If you just want a no-nonsense sedan and the Elantra's smaller size cramps your style, the Sonata is an easy choice.
2. 2024 Hyundai Sonata 2.5 All-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $29,000
- MPG Combined: 28
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: 8-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 191
- Torque: 181 lb-ft
- Weight: 3,466 lbs
- Length: 193.3 in
Adding all-wheel drive to the Sonata 2.5 costs you $1,500 and a single mile per gallon in combined driving.
3. 2024 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
- Base Price: $30,800
- MPG Combined: 47
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 192
- Torque: N/A
- Weight: 3,439 lbs
- Length: 193.3 in
The Sonata Hybrid is notable for having worse fuel economy in the city than on the highway; usually it's the other way around with hybrids, thanks to electric assist at low speeds. But 44 mpg city is still fantastic, and you should be able to get past the 50-mpg barrier on the highway.
4. 2024 Hyundai Sonata N-Line (2.5T Front-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $34,950
- MPG Combined: 27
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automated manual
- Horsepower: 290
- Torque: 311 lb-ft
- 0-60: 5.0 sec
- Weight: 3,534 lbs
- Length: 193.3 in
Hitting 60 mph in 5 seconds flat gives the Sonata N Line the acceleration crown among mainstream family sedans, and it's not even close. Buckle up, kids!
