Overview

The 2019 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Sedan fares well in the midsize sedan segment. Adding $3,200 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the sonata hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $25,750 and is offered in two trims, reaching a price of MSRP $31,300 for its top trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.0L inline-4 engine supported by a 38 kW electric system. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, it makes 193 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 29 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 41 MPG, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Sonata hybrid remains at par with the gasoline variant with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds. Hyundai offers the same 7 exciting colors for the Sonata hybrid.

Buying Advice

The Sonata Hybrid is undoubtedly more sensible and eco-friendly than the gasoline version. Among the two trims on board, the base trim is really worth considering the features it offers. Hence, we lean more towards the top Limited trim that includes LED headlights that bend in the direction of turns, 17-inch wheels, power-adjustable front seats with heating, a panoramic sunroof, ventilation automatic high beams, driver-seat memory functions, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather upholstery and more.
