2025 Sonata Selector
FAST FACTS
"The Sonata Hybrid certainly hits the numbers on paper, at least in the highway mpg column. It passes 50 mpg there, but its city rating is down in the mid-40s, which is unusual, as hybrids tend to shine in the city. But it's still great fuel economy however you look at it, and the Hyundai has the added advantage of an excellent warranty. We also tip our cap to the widescreen infotainment module, which makes the Sonata Hybrid feel fully up-to-date on the tech front."—Ranked #3 out of 4 Midsize Hybrid Sedans
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
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.
